We had that one chance around the 40th minute. The ball must have bounced 6 times in their box, and just wouldn't drop for our players to get a shot off.
Yep, but we often fail to make the transition between defense and attack.

Not that that is particularly a problem, we haven't been appaling going forward or anything either. I could easily see a break by Tevez & Morata resulting in a goal as well.

Morata and Tevez for about the first 20 minutes after Pogba going off were giving up the ball way too easily. They need to do more in the second half to alleviate pressure on our goal. Not just run at a defender when they receive it and immediately cede back possession. That must have happened 3-4 times for each of them in the first half.

Once we withered the storm they just kind of gave up. I hope they come back with that attitude. Pogba's absence is huge. Tevez :heart:

I thought it was a good first hálf from juve. Defensively sound and thats expected given our lead. I hope we will try more long range shots.

Barza is a defender i greatly respect bt given his fitness i wonder how he wịll fare in this match

That's exactly what I meant. The formation change clearly makes it harder for them though, they're often relatively isolated up front when we get the ball back. On the other hand, there's more defensive stability though, something arguably more important right now.

Our defense looks amazing and their offense looks like a train wreck, but I get so anxious when we sit back like this. All it takes is one good pass and they score. We need a second goal to be at ease. Hopefully two more, fuck their 97.

Agreed. We're having trouble getting the ball to Morata and Tevez in transition, and the few times we have, it seems the two of them haven't done a great job with it. They keep losing possession by running straight at a defender.
