Juventus (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

One thing that really wound me up tonight is how many times we not only just pass it sideways, but when we rarely did have chance to push forward we pass it sideways so the player receiving it always has to stop and wait for the ball.

In the past I remember players and pep talk about positive passing, effectively passing the ball so players can come on to it and positively impact the game. At the moment we are the complete opposite. Confidence is on it’s arse, but we are so negative with the ball now, teams don’t need to do anything other that make it difficult for us and they know how bad we are defensively they will

We are too old to do that. None of our players want to run. And when they do, the guy on the ball is too scared to attempt a risky pass.

Everyone is hiding from a pass. Bernado, Kyle, Gundo, Erling and Rico all his today.

It's pretty much down to Doku and Jack as they only 2 players who aren't hiding.


And the press is putrid.

Yep, our press is not working half of the time and you cant counter attack teams with only Haaland capable if running behind the line or run at all. No sterling and sane on the wings anymore, pretty much no pace in this team

Why you on the post match thread? I'm not having a go just interested in why? You were probably saying it was a bad game, then a couple of bad games. Then 5 bad games then...........


You can do that forever.

Slowest team in the world. Nuff said.

It's not just that; they've all gone off the boil at once, for various reasons. And of course it's the pass, pass, pass into the final 25 metres, then there's nowhere to go, and no one clever enough to get Haaland in. KDB managed to put him in once all night.

1 win in 10 games is something we've forgotten how to deal with. I just hope someone got fuckin' angry in the dressing room. The rot has to stop on Sunday, even if it's only for 1 game.

Pep is unsackble for this season and we should at least see what happens at end of the Summer transfer window with the new signings and if he can get us firing again. The FA Cup is our only realistic trophy we can win this season.

Love your optimism, mate. I don’t think we need to worry about winning trophies this season. None are realistic in my opinion.

We just need to figure out a way to be competitive and stop shipping goals regardless of who is fit and who isn’t. See if we can bring in some experienced players ASAP to supplement what we have and lighten the load and we need a bloody big clear out at the end of the season.

Come on mate, I understand we are all going through a grieving period, but please be realistic. Who buys 3/4 in Jan transfer window,who? And most of the players we've been buying recently have been duds. It is only Wednesday, but I need a glass of bourbon!

Im hopeful we can maybe push a few summer deals through in Jan.

We are in a right mess with no signs of stopping.

It’s a fair question to ask how many defeats can a gaffer take before the sack gets mentioned.

I agree with you that he has so much credit in the bank that it shouldn’t happen. He does need to change things up though. Football and fashions change and the very best keep up. I think pep can do it

Pep has so much credit in the bank with me that he can do what he wants. He is a genius. When he goes, we will miss him as no one else - Fergie, Klopp, Mourinho - comes close to his vision.

Ignore all the Press Conferences, Pep knows what the problems are and who needs to come in/go out. He will sort it out. You don't go from being a legend to loser in 2 months! :)

Like you say, I'd like to see him change it a bit though - just defend deeper and drop Haaland for another midfielder and make us hard to beat.

Still a bit of life left in us in the domestic cups. We did make the semi finals in Pep's challenging first season

I really think that may be the plan ? why keep being in the Champions League is we are not good enough to win it
The bigger picture is the bread and butter in the league right now and getting a top 4 pla

I'd say we have as good a chance of winning champions league as a top 4 league position.
