What do you think about Di Maria trying to play the dybala role of linking the midfield with the attack?
He played that role well but then you have one empty wing and there was nobody running into that space so you lose width. Ideally De Sciglio fills the gap but he didn't. A 4-2-3-1 with Kostic, Di Maria, and Chiesa works but you still need the LB and RB to push up or the wingers have to sit back in midfield to cover the gap because you saw how quickly Nantes counter. That links to the confidence that the wingers have to stay forward and the ability to stretch the game, ideally we'd want to attack with a couple of extra players on hand but it usually ends with the front 3 alone and no support.

If you see Man City, KDB is always waiting around the box he always has to his left and right, someone ready to cross. That lets Grealish/Alvarez sit in the box with Haaland and its too much for most teams to handle. Just watch Napoli and see how they operate.

Luca Marelli, ex referee, to 'DAZN': "The handball is obvious, the arm position of #Centonze is higher than the armline and as we know this is automatically a penalty. Surprisingly after the on-field-review an attacking foul by #Bremer was decided, and I don't see it. It's true that the Brazilian had his hands on the opponent, but it's a normal dynamic. If we go watch goals scored with a header, they all have this dynamic. Then #Bremer jumps by himself and only at the end he touches the back of the #Nantes player. A second yellow to #Castelletto? It's an easy yellow card, he stopped a potentially dangerous action. #Castelletto went straight on #Vlahovic who passed him and had so many meters ahead of him. The VAR couldn't intervene as it wasn't a straight red."

If you had bothered to educate yourself on the rules of the game, you would realise that jumping on an opponent and pushing down on his shoulders to propel yourself up is a foul, regardless of how 'soft' you think it is. Had this been the other way you and most of the fanbase would have been praising the decision. Thats sports for you, full of tribalistic bias and no rational, impartial judgements.

So enough of this victimisation bullshit. You're grasping at straws to excuse another piss poor performance that we should have had in the bag.

Yeah but we will keep talking about this possible penalty, claiming we dominated them, but the stats say otherwise:

We maybe deserved to win, but we didn't dominated them at all, we are shit as fuck

Got owned by someone with the last name of "Blah" and an Arab dude with four first names. First the Jews, now this. All we need is a team with Chen and Kim and we'll get raped by the entire planet.

Thanks Allegri.

lol why even bother with an avid contrarian. i'll try it anyway

let's be clear, it's not about the result of the game or the way we played, it was a clear penalty regardless

as for bremer, as the post explains, which quotes a partial expert, not a juve supporter and i'm stressing on it again for your full understanding, it's normal dynamics. if you ever watched or played football, you know that these kind of contacts happen multiple times at every single corner. if that was a foul, a large number of headed goals are fouls too. and that also doesn't explain why the defender threw both of his hands in the air, and that also won't explain why he wasn't even complaining after the goal. he fucked it up, he knew it, but the ref saved his ass. and you're fine with it lol

...claiming we dominated them, but the stats say otherwise:...
- twice as many shots
- 6 times as many shots on target
- twice the xg
- two crossbars
- one ball bouncing off the goal line

stats say otherwise? this is really the era of alternative facts lol

That Arab dude is a beast. He was struggling to make ends meet, selling falafel sandwiches in downtown Mansoura before Zamalek discovered his talent. Put some respect on his name.
