Juventus (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Bluesince1979]

Haaland had a very good chance at 0-0 last night. A very easy chance that he should score.
He doesnt makes runs in the box, rarely hits the box at speed , just kind of loiters

 

[East Level 2]

Who would get the goals?

Our non-scoring wingers and midfield perhaps? Probably not.
We would just have to hope John Stones could grab a few last-minute point savers or winners in the few games he was fit to play.

Better win fucking Sunday is all I’m saying

I don't see it. We can't defend, are wide open to just a simple ball over the top. Ederson had turned into Margetson ( Sulking about not getting the Saudi move? ) and even Ortega is looking shaky, but prime Gordon Banks would be behind that defence. The midfield is slow and ponderous and we are toothless in attack barring Haaland. It appears the shit show we put in against the rags at Wembley wasn't us hungover, taking our foot off the ball or a one off it, it was the start of our decline. We are so bad I might put a punt on Salford City to beat us in the cup.

If the new signings have already played in the CL, can they play for us?

You know what never thought of that…. Is Fernandinho still playing?

I think you should all do what I've been doing the last few games, back the opposition, good odds, I've made a good few quid from it up to now.

Many comments on here are spot on observations of a team and coach who have lost their way,and not emotional or personal.

Pep does not escape scrutiny or critism.

The very recent past & here/now is a legitimate concern

It's mostly people unable to cope with a bad period by the team.

It's been two months of problems.

Two months out of a near a decade of dominance for the wet wipes to air their 'legitimate concerns.'

 

[argyle]

At this stage could they be any worse?

He seems to think they would.

 

[Donmcfc]

Our transitions are far too slow. By the time we get within shooting distance there are 17 or 18 players in the box making it easy for defenders to block passes, crosses and shots. How many players are in our box when we concede goals? Rarely more than half a dozen. It's just so obvious what we are doing wrong but Pep doesn't see it.

 

[argyle]

Injuries have had an impact agreed, but that doesn't mean the rest of the team turn to shit. Mistakes, lethargy, no pressing, no ideas all in abundance, all over the pitch right now.

The team has run themselves into the ground to achieve what they have.

Many hardly had any break between seasons.

With injuries they've been unable to rest.

They're clearly fucked, mentally and physically.

I think you should all do what I've been doing the last few games, back the opposition, good odds, I've made a good few quid from it up to now.

The last time I did that was the City v Watford final! I could have won £160 instead of losing a tenner.

The luck that any team needs in order to succeed has vanished. The chances for Erling and the Gundog drive would have delivered a 2-2. Why can't Juve have a goalkeeper from the Hans Seegers school of goalkeeping?
