Juventus (A) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Roachy]

We start giving refunds for every shit away performance we're not gonna have any money to pay the lawyers.

Don't forget though it makes a difference to the result the more you back the team according to some halfwits on here.

We won on passes but unfortunately its goals that count

 

[69FACUPfinal]

He talked absolute bollocks. Said we played good football and have been unlucky, nonsense

He doesn't talk bollocks. We have been unlucky with some shots being missed.

I don't understand how Pep is the only one who does not see the poor performance in defence for both Walker and Lweis? The poor performance of Ederson? He keep repeating the same as he does not care about it.

Mentions lewis but lewis made no mistakes defensively today. It's fucking dog whistle shite at this point.

 

[Gesario]

Who the fuck is our Captain? And when I mean Captain, who is the leader on the pitch? I really don't know...

If we have got to the point where nobody can take ownership on the pitch then there is something wrong.

Exactly I’ve mentioned before we need a Vinny or Yaya or fkin Dave Watson Different player with the armband every 2 nd game Currently it should be Reuben end of story My biggest fear is a team of that calibre and players of that class don’t become that poor over a couple of weeks regardless of age and injuries etc Something deeper methinks

Gvardiol failed to clear the ball to Walker, missing him badly. Then, the cross. Both have been terrible at defending this season, and they are not alone.

The thing for me is that these are not bad defenders at all and have been decent in the last 12 months.

However, in the last 2 months both players look like 12 year olds making basic mistakes and having no idea how to defend. I genuinely cannot believe that both players - and Lewis as well - have suddenly become dreadful, it's a tactics thing.

Rodri is out for the season and is irreplaceable. We have to try other formations to get the defence working again like playing a 4-6-0 again and getting some energy in the middle.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

What score did it finish?

 

[Mr. Shush]

None of that should matter, if Pep would cut his cloth, according to what we’ve got available. Continuing to play that high line, with no pressing and slow ball is just suicidal.
Can’t we ever just sit deep, in a low block and attempt to play on the counter?

We won't because Pep wants us to possess the ball and wear teams out. But that's not happening anymore. To Pep, to counter attack is low percentage. In his mind we would lose the ball.

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Be honest; was anyone really surprised at the performance? Not disappointed (we're all disappointed), but surprised.

I'm at a point now where if Rico, Walker and Gundogan start I know it's almost impossible to win the game.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

We did have some good shape to the team in the first half and I was feeling positive at half time, not necessarily thinking we would win but happy with a point.

2nd half we started picking up recent bad habits and losing our shape. It felt like players were starting to lose patience and do their own thing.

We had a fairly strong first XI too out on the pitch compared to other matches, just the bench that wasn’t strong. When I say strong first XI I mean as in from the squad we have, at beginning of season we would think this team against Juve would be good enough to win. No Ake and no Akanji we used to win games without them in the team, so we can’t say that was the difference.

Pep changed our shape...
Grealish wide left, Doku right ,Bernardo floating.

No threat after that cos none of those players did anything positive.

Subs too late,including Nunes at 90minutes ffs !!
