Juventus (A) - Wed 11th Dec, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[Gray]

We are gradually slipping towards the drop zone.

 

[Tico Warrior]

not the best results for us tonight. few teams got ahead of us, some ahead of us even extended the gap to them.

fucking Brest is looking to make top8 and I cannot say one well known players from their squad, I doubt they would finish top half in PL.

we still can make top8 but that is as likely as we wont even make top 24. most likely we finish around 13-17th but even for that we need further 4-5 points imo.
and then its up to luck if we avoid someone like Atletico or PSG or Juventus or even Real in a tie in playoff round. while the likes of Aston Villa, Brest comfortably watching this in top 8 likely.

Yeah I don't get people saying we could win this, looks like we might be heading out early before the knockout stage. Even if we qualify for the top 24 I could see us losing to a decent opponent with the state the squad is in.

 

[Chak19]

Do we have some players back ?

 

[Chak19]

Unbeaten in serie a this season. We’re an absolute mess with no bright lights ahead as far as I can see.

Juve are rubbish, but even rubbish teams can easily beat us with our current state.

 

[kippax123]

We will win tomorrow. A few key players back all's good.

We are gradually slipping towards the drop zone.

What's the panic? Beat Bruges at home and we will limp into the top 24 even if we lose to both Juventus and PSG. A couple of months to get our squad and our mojo back then we will be fine in the play-offs.

He has been out with bronchitis though. Just like De Bruyne not having a falling out with Pep and/or anyone else; there’s no conspiracy going on with Foden, he’s just had an unfortunate run with a few different illnesses (that stomach/guts one has still not been diagnosed)

I’m not convinced, but he clearly isn’t fit to be playing regularly at the moment whether it’s physical or mental. His form has fallen off a cliff this season and it’s one reason why we are struggling. Losing Rodri makes it hard but losing Rodri, Foden and De Bruyne makes it impossible.

You mean the team which has just beaten Sporting, who thrashed us 4-1 recently?

I am sorry, you’re going to have to explain some of these to me, mate. Flopsy? Flash? Godri is injured so GOD as well. We’ve got two Croats so assuming Gvardiol on position.

 

[Paul1970]

If Walker plays then we will get beat because that’s how confident I am with him in the team .

If Manu is Akanji you will have to think again, he has not travelled with the squad.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Could not give less of a shit about this game.

Play the under 12s for all I care. We need our “best” 11 against the rags.

Am going into games now thinking we ain't going to win and this game at Juventus think a point be a good result

 

[ChicagoBlue]

We have shown the ability to beat ANYONE on the day, even this season, and even during this bad spell.

All depends on who shows up and whether we put away our chances.

They’ve got a few decent players and one of them is their striker. Let’s hope we do show up!

If by anyone, you mean Nottingham Forest.

I'm of a similar mindset along with a lot of us I suspect. Hopefully some sort of positive result can start steering us back on the right direction.
