we won't win on Pis. I hope the squad realizes that and goes for it during the game. With that draw Atalanta could win the CL! Or at least make the final!
Lets face it our backline is garbage without De Ligt or Chiellini Alex Sandro fukkin sucks...why have we kept him this long? He had 1 good year in 2017 Cuadrado isnt RB and Danilo belongs to Serie B I dont see us getting past QF....the way we sleep walk thru games doesnt inspire any kind of confidence. We lack focus the full 90min....even games we win, we have periods where it seems like we dont care.
We haven't even gotten to the quarters yet, the way we're playing even Lyon who hasn't played in 5 months will be a challenge. Sandro had a decent first half of the season, he's been terrible after the xmas break. If we don't address the fullback positions this transfer window we might as well forget about winning a CL with Ronaldo, and our midfield needs serious work STILL. We won't be able to afford to fix all our problems, and we also need another striker so yea, things are not looking up
No one will take Danilo with 4M salary. Cuadrado will stay probably because of his flexibility. Our only options are selling Sandro or terminate MDS hopefully.
Lyon have their first official game in months tomorrow in the cup final vs PSG. Let's see how rusty they look before facing us
Their only logical reason is that they are committed to a change in playing philosophy. If we start a "revolution," they must stick with it. If we don't get by Lyon, I'm probably more inclined to get Allegri back, he is the only winner available...
PSG wins the cup on penalties, 6-5. Lyon didn't look too bad so we need to bring our A game in the CL next week
What are we thinking is our best lineup for the remainder of the CL? For me, it's: Unfortunately, Berna hasn't done enough to give me any confidence that he can help us break down a stubborn Lyon. I would rather have MDS over Danilo but obviously he can't stay healthy... It wouldn't be the end of the world if Dybala isn't ready to go for a full 90 and Higuain starts. I would be more worried if he was out altogether.
I think you may be right although I would prefer Bentacur as the deep-lying playmaker to Pjanic. I would swap Pjanic to the more advanced role. I would still prefer Pipita alongside Ronaldo and Dybala to Cuadrado. Overall, Cuadrado hasn't been a terrible fullback.
Dybala is still training apart from the group, its gonna be down to the wire to see if he can make it for Fridays match
As expected, doesn't look like Dybala will be fit enough to play tomorrow. That's a huge blow for us. He'll be on the bench, but I doubt we see him play unless we're desperate
We are screwed, I don’t like our chances without Dybala and I don’t expect this team to keep a clean sheet either.
Do not have a good feeling here if Dybala isn't playing. If they score on a counter we will need 3 goals. I don't see that happening and Rudi knows juve and will bunker accordingly. We have rarely kept clean sheets after the shutdown.
Such pessimism. If we don't beat a Lyon team that's played one match in 6 months we don't deserve it anyway. I think we make it through, Ronaldo gonna put on his big boy boots today
