I don't remember. You're right, anything could happen, but Juve simply has a better team. Until Telle's brain fart I just didn't see anything from us that showed me we were any type of threat.
What are the odds of both our left backs having shockers? Telles gets sent off and Layun assists the first and goes missing in the second.
So what does FC Porto do for the return leg? Do they play their best players and have a go at it or field a B team and throw in the towel?
I agree. I don't want us to get slapped in Turin. Field our best team and pray for the best. The problem is that we don't have a coach that can elevate these players to play beyond their abilities. NES is no Jardim, Silva or Mourinho, that's for sure.
Your press was working wonders in the first 10-15 minutes but then you guys buggered off. Instruction? I can understand the change in strategy after the card but you guys stopped pressing well before that.
It was a good game until the Maxi red card and Dybala penalty goal. Pretty much game over now. Let's focus on finishing the game with no injuries now.
Game over. We had a couple of chances to score in the second half but we didn't capitalize. Glad we put out a decent showing and didn't get blown out. Juve is a damn good team, can't be too upset about this. When you lose 2-0 at home, you can't expect much.
Danilo looked good. Scary to think that he will most like be gone next season. Not an easy spot to,fill.
GG Guys. Good Luck in your league for the rest of the season. Win the Primera Liga. Honestly though we never put teams to bed. Its not the Juve way, especially if we are playing a team that are underdogs. I kind of want Man City next as I think we could really smash them. I mean not unbelievably but something like a margin of 2-3 goals on aggregate.
Thanks dude. Juve had both games. I would like to see Juve vs Dortmund Because it would be a classic match. Man City would be too much of a cakewalk.
Dortmund is my second choice actually. I kind of want Man City first because I still can't recover from the fact that last season we beat them twice and still failed to top the group. Also Man Utd and Man City are the teams I hate the most. Even more than Inter or our rivals in Italy. Dortmund would be interesting to especially since they changed since last time we faced them. I think we would be slight favorites against them especially since our curse with a record that Dortmund has never beaten us in their own home in Germany.
That would be cool to. You know Monaco are a completely different team from 2 years ago. 2 seasons ago they had a solid defense but had real trouble scoring. Now its the opposite, they are good at getting in scoring positions, but can be quite shaky in defense. I wonder how that tie would turn out actually. I'd take Monaco.
