[Europa League] JUVENTUS 0-0 Benfica (May 1st 2014) (23 Viewers)

[Mister]

Ìt's the performance though that makes it like this, we have no cutting edge at all and dont punish teams when we should. Benfica were on the ropes for 25 mins in the first half if we were any where near a good team we would have scored 2-3 goals in that period.

We win our games in Serie A due to having better players and nothing more. All the teams bend over because they see the name Juve and expect to get beat. In Europe we dont get that respect and teams take the game to us and punish our weaknesses. We dont take our chances and lose/draw games we dont deserve to.

Failing to score goals is an major problem specially in europe , but other than that we are a very good team . You just cant discredit juve by saying other teams bend over . During the 3 years that conte has been here , the defence was improved first then midfield was added , last year we got attackers . Its a building process we dont have the money to buy the top talent , to score we need those .

People who make, and watch, these narcissistic self-commentary footie videos should all be shot.

I watched it.

I just can't. I can't do vine either for the same reasons.

What a disgrace. Some real progress in Europe is needed next year.

As you pointed out that's exactly why I am so pissed off.Pure minnows.Purest.And that Conte explanations make me sick.We hardly fought to win some minor Serie A opponents and we have much luck.Tonight the devil came for his own.Minnows.

U got it spot on dukac. Ppl only see the end result but forcpetes sake watxh the filth that goes on duing the game. No team i europe thats a bonafide team even on their worst day plays this garbage. I am not into this whole formation thing but hey, at least onxe from the start lets try something different and see what goes on. Thing is i fear yhat conte doesnt see much of a problem. He deserved his high rating at the start but im not seeing where all the plaudits are justified this season.

What a shitty day this turned out to be.

Pretty terrible 2nd half performance from almost everyone. We actually played worst when they had 10 and then 9 men

Disappointing, but such is life. We need to and must improve in Europe it's as simple as that. Whether it's a change of tactics, different mentality approach to games, signing better strikers whatever, something has to change.

Pretty much. We need to do better next year, much better. We can blame defensive errors to a certain degree, but we simply haven't been good enough this year.

 

[Linebreak]

Next year we'll do much better in Europe.

Luckily it's a national holiday here, so I might sleep longer in the morning, probably sleeping through the entire tomorrow's day after comforting myself with rakija (very strong drink in these parts.)

But first... let me drop Bonucci

 

[Vlad]

Next year we'll do much better in Europe.

I like your optimism and I hope that we learned some lesson from this year's campaign, that it hasn't been futile.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

I think some lessons have and will be learnt, but the reality is we need more quality on the wings and even upfront. I hope to see Conte become more tactically flexible as well

 

[swag]

As long as we learn something from this crap...

Raki!

Teams like Galata and those Danish amateurs need to be demolished next season. We shouldn't struggle anymore to overcome opponents that much inferior to us.

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Agreed, we need to sweep aside pot 3&4 teams, that way it really doesn't mean shit if we happen to drop points against a pot 1 team.

 

[CrimsonianKing]

Meh.
