Average first half. Giving the ball away cheaply without being put under any pressure. Then we start to sit to deep again. Only 1 shot on goal first 45 minutes. Need to play higher up the pitch and move the ball quicker like in the first 10 minutes. Rabiot is taking up some intelligent positions and is having a good game. Individually everyone is doing ok. Collectively average.
TERRIBLE first half, this team can't create anything. How many chances from open play have we had? none. The worst players out there so far have been Cuadrado, Kean, De Sciglio and Rabiot. De Sciglio because he does nothing, he gives the ball away a few times, then contributes nothing going forward. Cuadrado has been really bad, really bad. Kean has added absolutely nothing to the game. Rabiot runs around aimless, tries to take a shot 5 yards outside the box with 5 players in between him and the goal. Shame we couldn't ship him off. Can't count how many times the team gave the ball away in this game, has to be over 100 times lol. Juve gave Spezia a lot of time on the ball. An absolute reversal of how they played against Roma. It's sad how they can't control a game against a team like Spezia. It comes down to the tactics, which are... crap. And that foul against Cuadrado in the box was easily a penalty. Would love an explanation on why it wasn't and why VAR just sat back and denied it too.
Every time we go up 1-0 early, we tend to sit back and try to protect the lead. That doesn't work anymore, even against the minnows. How many giveaways can one midfield have in a half? And all of them, including Miretti are doing it. Plus once again the VAR does not go our way on the Cuadrado penalty shout.
This team is a joke. All this money spent and still can’t get a proper attack. Vlahovic needs more services…Allegri is such a joke
Ackshaully, Rabiot has been one of the more dynamic players in our MF today. That is not a high bar today, but he has been far from the worst out there.
Where is the pressing we saw against Roma? Do we really need to respect Spezia's attack this much? Cuadrado has been hideous with his giveaways and nonchalant passing.
Bremer out, Alex Sandro in Vlahovic out, Milik in So Danilo plays as a CB again, Di Sciglio moves to the right and Alex Sandro to the left lol Allegri is a ********ing mind trip.
#MadMax its all good.. the one CB is GATTI. can't wait for his movie to come out... from supermarket to Serie A. (kinda like the kurt warner movie last year)
Milik with his first goal! Game over. Still this team didn’t do **** without DiMaria on the pitch. The Kostic signing so far I’m unimpressed.
Well that wasn't pretty, but at least it's a win. Allegri needs to figure this shit out, because this won't fly against PSG and bigger teams.
Miretti with the nice assist on the Milik goal. Think ill have a Moretti to celebrate the Miretti assist!
Well it wasn’t great. We should be putting games like that to bed earlier than the 92 minute because other smaller teams will get a result out of us. Miretti done well tonight, Rabiot had a good game, he used the ball well and put in a good shift. Collectively as a team our passing needs to be a lot better. Giving the ball away so cheaply puts us under a lot of unnecessary pressure. Still it’s a win Forza Juve! But can’t pick a MOM as knowone stood out
Many folks here for me to agree with that sadly, Cuadrado pretty much stunk the place up. Hopefully he won't continue his downward trend
If we show up like this in the CL we may well get knocked out. Benfica will not be a pushover and PSG has more firepower than anyone we have seen so far.
Miretti was not good in the first half, but played much better once AdM came on. Nice turn and goal by Milik. If you play that poorly, you had better win. Today we did, so.... Forza! Good news is we are not conceding. Spezia didn't even have a shot the whole game despite all of their possession.
because our management says nothing…no matter what we dont say a word. Sometimes you gotta complain and make it an issue to get them to act right. We have been robbed in CL too and just accept it.
Not bad but it got nervy those last 15min, they coulda easily tied it up something about the nerves of this team is unsettling….we definitely do not have the character to hold 1-0 leads against ANYONE, let alone a CL team. Dont get why Allegri insists on trying something that never works.
This is exactly what Allegri and the board will hang onto to excuse the less than aesthetic displays. They will also point to the fact we are without Chiesa, Pogba and Di Maria.
