Garbage team with no plans or ideas Meanwhile Vidal scores a nice important goal for Barcelona. We have yet to replace him or the others.
He was hardly one of the worst players on the pitch. He made 2 mistakes which unfortunately were costly. Apart from that he played great. He's the only player in the midfield who actually stops anything. If it wasn't for him opposing teams could stroll past the midfield, stop to have a picnic and then continue.
Bentancur was easily one of the worst players on the pitch for us, get your eyes checked. Only Danilo and Berna were worse imo
Ronaldo is 2 goals away from Romario on the all time official goals scored list and 35 away from Pele
If you think he was worse than Bernadeschi, Bonucci, Rabiot or even Matuidi (improved 2nd half but still) then you need to get your eyes checked. He's been carrying the midfield all season.
I wonder what Sarri is going to do to bring this team back from this absolute funk we're in. We came up against third placed Atalanta and got outplayed at home. We should have lost today but were saved by two bs penalties, there is just no way we can do a damn thing in the CL playing like this. And if we continue to play like we did for the rest of the serie A matches we can also let the title slip out of our hands
There is no flow with this team, Atalanta dominated possession. I just don’t believe in Sarri to be able to make adjustments halftime. He just isn’t good enough, I’d like to give Allegri another shot. We change our roster too much and some of the guys don’t play well together.
Unfortunately, all the midfielders are flawed in one way or another. This has been a problem for the past two years and management really has to overhaul it. Just my opinion, but I don't see any of this current group adding much to the team. Of course the clueless manager doesn't help things at all.
Yup. When that SECOND FERRARI got crashed you knew he was on his way out the door. The 2 crashed Ferrari rule is IRON CLAD.
We play too slowly. Even when we beat the other team down the field we don't go on and attack. Instead we pull it back, pass it around, and try a bunch of ticky tacky passes in the center of the park where there are 3000 arms and legs.
Our MF has steadily gotten worse since Pogba, Vidal, Pirlo and Marchisio all left, got injured, or retired. No one in our current MF is as good as any of those. Pjanic played well his first couple of years when he was played further forward, but since they have moved him back to play regista he just fades way too often and doesn't have the same impact he can have further up the field.

Our defense is weak, even with De Ligt...we are so slow on transition and a team with a few quick one touch passes will easily open us up. Sarri needs to do some miracle because this team has 0 chemistry and no flow. Its so predictable and we are the only team that kills their own attack to pass back and restart. We often waste so much of the game aimlessly passing or trying to get out of our own half.
Atalanta easily have the best attack in Serie A and have scored like the second most goals in all of Europe. It's like someone not scoring on the BBC and saying we suck because we can't score on one of the best defenses in the world. Atalanta have a chance to make it to the semi's or even the final of the CL and will almost certainly finish second behind us. With that said, the midfield didn't add enough yesterday and have failed to on numerous occasions this season. It is a point of concern, but not the end of the world considering a very underwhelming midfield that Liverpool has was able to get to back to back CL finals and win one. I'm not worried that we will lose the scudetto. We have Sassuolo and then Lazio and I'm only worried about Sassuolo after Lazio's collapse. Lazio is seeing what happens when you are actually challenging in Serie A, every team tries to play their best game against you and they can't handle it.
There's lots of stuff in Italy that is unique. It isn't all that hard to figure out where you are, which side of the road to drive on, and the difference between a handball and a meatball. Adapt to the rules, they usually apply to both sides (except maybe in Italy)
Did you watch the game? He was awful almost the entire game. His action lead to a goal. The only player worse than him in the first half was Bernardeschi.
Why are we keep conceding? 2-2 Atalana? We not going to make it far with our backline and midfield when going against attacking team like Bayern and Man City. I'm not a fan of De Ligt, so to be honest, our defense su-ck without Chieline.
Matuidi has no business starting. We have critiqued the play of the midfield all year and the common thread has been that Matuidi started. There was a lot more fluidity the last few matches when he went to a three-man midfield of Pjanic, Bentacur and Rabiot. He needs to stick to those guys. Matuidi breaks up the fluidity because he's so poor on the ball and doesn't even do a good job of ball-winning anymore. We were very lucky in all respects this past weekend. Atalanta should have won which would have brought them within six--and Lazio have been dropping points that you would have expected to take. This is the worst Juve side I can remember that will likely win a scudetto. Sarri must go--and get rid of a lot of the dead weight while you're at it.
