Merry Christmas you filthy animals!

Been a while but looks like nothing has changed on this thread or any other thread for that matter.

Will check back in after our healthy loss today ...unless it's an underwhelming win

P.S. have you noticed that Klopp is now getting praised in the media for playing pragmatic football and scraping 1-0 wins, i.e. winning over flair

Very good result given the circumstances, but our midfield is so weak at the moment I'm starting to have a lot of doubt in our ability to challenge for UCL.

We need Pjanic to have the best 6 months of his career and Matuidi to step it up. Bentancur is inexperienced and too inconsistent, Can is okay at his best. Khedira is a lost cause.

Keeps saying we've five WC CBs, but keeps starting the same two.

So fond of Khedira, doesn't even let him recover properly. :lol: :p

Not the right fixture for resting Pjanic and playing someone not fully match-fit with Matuidi already out.

If you are expecting there is a manager that makes 100% right calls in 100% games, you will get disappointed :p. He took a risk by resting few key players, considering how packed our schedule have been over the last few weeks. Until Bonucci's 'tackle' it looked like a typical Juve game. Take an early lead, cruise control, conserve energy and close the game. I would have taken 1 point here beforehand, decent result.

I'm pro-Allegri, not one of the ding a lings. Save your partisan lecture and ifs and buts.

Being pro doesn't mean everything Allegri does and says are spot on always. Lol at going to the extent of "I would have take 1 point beforehand."

Knew when I saw the lineup midfield was gonna be an issue this game. And in general, CBs need to be rotated more, and it's not as if Bonucci has been perfect.

Why not? Pjanic is in a horrible form
Pjanic is Pjanic but better than Khedira, esp a Khedira not fully match-fit.
