wow seriously? wrong for them to celebrate? a win's a win. either way celebrations like that show that they are capable of feeling gratification when we win, and that's important. stop being such a whiner
Yeah a win is a win against a average team without half of their first team players on your own turf.Yeah they should have a very strong feeling about the win.I
did not understand that from the first view but now I see.:facepalm2:

This is the first semi final for Juve in Europe for 11 years... Every Juve supporter has a reason to be happy. I can't care less about the performance. If we take the trophy with even worse display I will be happy; if we manage to win it with three 3-0 victories I will be happy. Enjoy the moment, this is quite the achievement.

Sevilla is going to be a hard match up, there playing very well, hope we dont draw them
Any of Sevilla,Valencia and Benfica would be a hard match.Be sure for that.I really dont know if I will have a chance to choose the easiest opponent who that opponent would be.

Our tactics are all wrong.

Slow motion lethargic displays won't beat a pub side, let alone a strong European one in EL semis.

It's not necessarily the formation, though it does play a role, it's more the tactics. For one, our players are always maintaining the exact shape in attack. It gives the defence nothing to think about, as you always know exactly where your man is going to be. If this wasn't bad enough, our passing is so slow that it's almost in rewind. Again, it hardly threatens the defence. To make things worse, we have all but given up on pressuring the opposition as a team when defending, we just hang back waiting for them to get real close to the box or give the ball away.

Conte needs to mix things up a bit, if not in formations, then at least in speeding up plays at times and allowing players more movement in attack.
Agreed. So many things for Conte to fix. It'll be very hard to win the whole thing as things stand for Juve.

Those teams have nine losses in their respective leagues, so... they suck. It's like saying we beat Real Sociedad or something.

Juventus should be steamrolling all of these clubs in the EL, but instead we look like the Capello years in the CL. It's just not good enough.

That is an obvious false statement. If teams always play to win, why do some always sit back for the draw? Why does Juventus do the same?
It's not sitting back. It's called countering their tactics and nullify their attacking play. Look at the clueless faces of our opponents. They don't even know what's happening when they play us.

That's us, baby. :agree:

We're the fucking magicians.

I guess people are just nervous because we've been absent from Europe for so long, and not playing so well the last few weeks.

What a snooze-fest. The way we have been playing lately, it is quite painful. It is akin to watching a porno featuring a man with erectile dysfunction attempting to bed a woman with an incredibly reduced libido :yawn:

A win is a win however, regardless of how it came about. We seriously need to step our game in the Semis tho. We are so lacking in ideas and pathetic on the counterattack.

We started off like a bullet train only to go into Ali Baba and his donkey cart mode 15 minutes later.

Come on Bro. An extremely fortuitous deflection. I guess they all count, but there were other occasions when we looked completely clueless when it came to breaking forward at pace.
