We really need a technically good and big striker. Van Persie anyone?

I dont know why are we playing these european matches, we should just forfeit.
We clearly show how Serie A is piss poor.

wow... what a retarded post.

 

[Stevie]

We are a better side thwn Benfica and should beat them at home. We were just so wasteful and Bonucci is pure shite.

 

[Matteo1897]

We should of parked it after the equaliser but to be honest at 1-1 it looked like we were going to win it. Woeful defending for the goals and we should of been more clinical to finish our attacks

 

[am0110]

I dont know why we have disgusting fans like you. Its not like we win that much. Or do we ?

Ban yourself.

First we need better tactics.

Won't Benfica's best players return for the 2nd leg, btw?

Silvio or Salvio or whatever?

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

I pray Vidal is fit


Barz Ogbonna Chiell
Licht Vidal March Pogba Asa
Tevez Llorente

wow... what a retarded post.

Well, I am clearly angry

 

[frzl]

so we allowed them 2 shots on goal... -.-

If Benfica play like they did for most of the second half next week, we will get the better of them. 2-1 isn't too bad of a result.

Considering how Benfica played today, 2-1 is a horrible result. They were missing 4 regular starters and were totally lost in most of the second half. Our coach decided to fall back and defend the draw and put on Osvaldo for Tevez and leave Llorente on the bench.

This defeat was soooo undeserved
MoTM Marchisio. Immense game from him.

Gaitan and Fejsa will.

 

[Salvo]

Teams are so clinical against us in Europe

 

[PhRoZeN]

Benfica played without 4 first team players (Oblak, Fejsa, Gaitan and Lima, that was on bench a then scored) and still won

Vidal, Llorente, barzagli, we had three and you played home. Don't mean anything. Best team didn't win tonight. This should fire us up, enjoy.

Few remarks:

- once again, Bonucci proved what an embarassment it is for Italian football and Juventus to play him in Europe. Unbelievable. Until when will Conte insist in that guy?

- Pirlo in Europe is horrible. Huge liability. Him and Bonucci should ride the bench. Field a 433 with Asa-Pogba-Vidal in the middle.

- Vucinic was Vucinic. Good build up play, no killer instinct at all. Not good enough. But I don't think any other striker would have made a difference in the end.

- Vidal absence... fucking huge. We lose so much juice without this guy.

- We are not better than Benfica. Both teams are good, none is spectatular.

- We are a loooooooooooong way from being competitive in Europe. Very worrisome. Let's see if Conte will manage to take this team to the next step. Huge "if".

- Squad must really improve. Our bench was beyond shit today. No real options for Conte to try to change things.

I agree but 1-1 was much better, it's not like Benfica will be out to defend next week. Means we will have to score more

 

[Bayernstar]

2-1 is not that bad for juve, really think the away goal is crucial and could help in the end to advance

We lost against an average team and expected them to be much better then this. I was still wondering how on earth we lost to Galatasaray and the first half of this game reminded me again. The only difference was that we conceded in the last 5 minutes in that game, and in the second in this one. Honestly the second half was quit good and had more opportunities to score after our goal but unfortunately the team decided to sleep again and conceded in the moments we were in total control. The thing is, we will probably go through to the final as i'm expecting us to beat them with a margin at home but would we have put up such a performance against the top 8 of the CL, let alone the top sides of yesterday, we would have been eaten alive.
