Not entirely correct though, bro.

We've conceded 2 goals in 8 CL games this year. Next best team is Atletico with 4 conceded.

Our defenders seem to let their concentration lapse in Serie A and Coppa a lot this year... but they certainly have not done so in the CL yet. They've played brilliant, organized, mistake-free football there.
Quite honestly, can we really blame them ? So used to winning in these two competitions, i can understand it.

To follow up on this, in CL its never an issue. And our performance in key CL games in the second half of the season, is also never an issue.
Concentration on point, motivation and determination over the top. No energy saving.


For this reason i find it a bad idea to compare domestic performances with CL, as many issue's wont be present there.

No, you're the ones who need to understand context, you neanderthal. Both him and you keep blabbing about shit even though the team can't be in a better position than it currently is. Oh my, we conceded 3. As if that fucking happens every game, you big mouthed cocksucker.

As I said, shut the fuck up and go to sleep if you can't even show some gratitude to this team for once in your life. Fuck off.
One beeing a lucky clutch ball
A total GK howler
and a concentration lapse which was should have been saved by said GK


He makes it look like Napoli tore right through us. They didnt. Even if they went full risk balls out. What we did is score.

Rewatch the two games against Lyon again, and the games against Porto. We only conceded one goal in those four games because the defensive lapses didn't cost us, but they were there, whether it was a misplaced pass leading to a counter, a slip allowing a player in, or non existent marking on a corner, the lapses were most definitely there. Those are the kind of lapses a team like the Shitcunts from Catalunya will gladly exploit every single time.

nah, Porto didn't trouble us that much at the back. sure they could've scored a goal or two over 180 minutes, but I wouldn't say their attacks cut our defense. Lyon of course did, Buffon had a monster performance against them

We are not able to dominate the lesser teams and make them afraid of us.

It was a problem in 2013 with Conte when we got knocked out by Gala on the forzen kebab pitch.

We have done pretty good since then some games have probably been too close for my heart to take but the spine of the team is there it just needs a couple of more attacking players like Sanchez to be able to pressure the opponents better.

A RB to replace Lich and a player of Vidal or Nainggolans quality and type in midfield and we can beat any team and win the CL.

Don't think we are quite there yet as the balance of the team is lacking

Exactly. On point on everything.

“Allegri has a contract until 2018, so it’s not really an issue right now. He has said both privately and publicly that he intends to stay and so I don’t see any reason to even talk about this.

“Allegri started an era with us and it’s not finished yet.”

This week Olympique Lyonnais midfielder Tolisso declared he couldn’t turn down a side like Juventus.

“Tolisso is a great player, but that is all I will say on the matter. We need to make tactical evaluations.”
Sounds like Beppe has Allegri and Tolisso lined up. Maybe the issue of formation needs to be looked at for next season. Tolisso in this set up would surely be an alternate Khedira?

He's a starter for a big club team and big national team, has a contract until 2019, and he's 30 years old. Why he gets linked for an immediate move to MLS is a mystery.

Last month he said: ""I'll go to America but not now. I want to play at a high level for a few more years.". With respect to the MLS that means when he is too old to play at a high level in Europe, which is the case for almost all of their marquee signings.
