Semi final against Monaco?

When we already had 2-0 on aggregate and with away goals...Debatable

He scored the 2 away goals in the first leg which essentially sealed the tie.

Thats what I am saying, we think that they are good enough cause there is no real challenge for us jn Serie A, when we face someone like Madrid we can clearly see what we have at our disposal and what are our weak points, lets be just honest to ourselves, i love this club like all of you, and this hurts even two days later

I know buddy. I hope the board can give us something to fill this hole.

Don't get me wrong - I was dissapointed with Higuain in a few matches. But he is still a great striker and I doubt we could have got someone better at the time when Pogba decided he wanted to leave.

 

[Gagi]

I know we paid a lot of money for him, but he can't dribble past 5 players and score on his own, he needs service and others failed to provide that for him. He did more than Dybala, that's for sure.

Yes I know but bro, cmon Monaco,where he Was against Barcelona? Nowhere, my point is guy who costs 90 millions should score every single game to justify that value

How many goals did Gonzalo score this year? He didnt flop, get the fuck outta here. What did you want him to do in the final? Hell he had an assist while the rest of the team was booting the ball up the field like there was 1 minute to go and we were a goal up.

Higuain's problem is not scoring goals...his problem is a mental issues in finals, look at the WC final and the 2 Copa America finals he choked in. This was just an continuation. The shot he had in the first 10 minutes of the Real final was a shot he would have buried in a regular game, he simply choked.

very true, he did have an assist... our midfield lost us the game, or lack of.... Using Khedira who doesn't run and only one other mid vs a team like Real is simply suicide. The 4-1 could have been much worst, we were actually fortunate.

This.

Literally everyone playing in the second half deserves a piece of the criticism pie.

everyone choked, it was one big choke fest embarrassing disaster on the biggest stage with everyone watching

Very painful experience, watching the game and crying same time

 

[Catenaccio]

Regarding Higuain the point is moot. Fact is, he staying and the mgt need to think how best to utilize the extra funds to make the team better next year without losing any big players in the mean time

when you're watching and there are 25+minutes left and you know its over and simply hoping that they don't eat more goals instead of thinking they can come back it's simply torture. Just heartbreaking to see Gigi not get that cup again

 

[lgorTudor]

don't turn this into the match thread FFS. This place is my optimism safe spot :depressed

 

[duranfj]

The only good thing for now on and ever: we hardly can get more trash by someone in a UCL final... so it only can get better

what I think we need... a back up attacker that can change the pace and make a difference in big games, a box to box aggressive midfielder and another creative player to pair or back up Dybala
I think I described Vidal, Pogba and Morata...lol but that's what I think we need to take the next step up.

Yes my friend,exactly that many of them don't deserve to play in a club of Juventus stature, i am not disrespecting anyone,just simply being realistic and saying some of them are not good enough,simply not good enough

 

[CrimsonianKing]

Play Dybala as his old poacher position, buy a proper consistent and talented number 10 that can make the best of forward plays to assist him. An agressive tough box to box and maybe a couple of wingers.
