Weston McKennie all games PBP thread

Koopmeiner's positioning AND his reaction were both shocking on that goal. It was just too easy for Nunes to receive that pass.

 

Weston is not one of the players who leaves in Juve's triple sub. Maybe they're just gonna run Wes into the ground today and rest him in the round of 16 match??

 

Savona rolls his ankle defending Haaland, physios signal for a sub. Looking less likely that Wes is gonna get some rest ahead of the knockouts

 

Juve subs bring some life to the game.

 

City have a World Class bench

 

I think anyone who has subbed in for City today would be a "name in ink" starter for Juve.

It's insane that they can afford to bring in Foden OFF THE BENCH

 

Speaking of Foden, I think he's scored a 4th with his first touch?

 

Cherki coming in

 

I was just about to say... "sure, we can give Cherki a little 16 minute trot-out".

 

Juve are unable to clear their lines from a corner, resulting in a 25+ yard putback from Savinho after a good reaction save by Di Gregorio

1-5... we've got a rout on our hands.

 

I read this before he scored…my feed must be delayed

let’s be honest. City is a top 5 team in the world…Juve a top 5 team in serie a. City bench today costs more payroll than all of Juve. Juve total payroll 109 million pounds…city 223 million last year. Haaland 27 million (all in pounds)

 

I'm fortunate to live in a city that paid to lay down fiber at the turn of the millennium, so we have an ISP that offers extremely affordable gigabit internet.

 

I’m on the beach on vacation…definitely slower than Juve’s defense. 1-5

 

Oh yeah, hotel connections are turrrrrible.

 

Finally, Mckennie gets replaced by Adzic. He did as well as he could, IMO.

 

Yildiz finds Vlahovic, who puts it away. 5-2

edit: VAR review for offside, but I'd be surprised if it's called back
edit2: goal stands.

 

Outclassed

 

First loss to Citeh in 6 matches, was gonna happen at some point...Mostly disappointed in the effort that the team put in, not one person put in a strong tackle or anything. Juve (most teams itw) aren't going to be able to compete technically with Citeh/Pep teams, so you have to work hard and be physical. Should have known that Tudor wasn't interested in a win or result in general with that starting 11...

I'm glad I didn't fly out and pay to watch that poor display.

Real Madrid on Tuesday in Miami and probably holidays on Wednesday...

 

Mckennie is on the bench, and Weah makes the bench. Juventus v Real Madrid in the R16 of the Club World Cup.

 

not terribly surprised about Wes after Tudor had him chase ghosts for 83 minutes last match, but a little surprised to see Weah make the bench!

 

oooof, Kolo Muani with a fantastic breakaway 6' gets a 1v1 chance, but puts his chip over the top of the goal.

Juve look up to Real's challenge, but with Real, it's almost always a war of attrition.

 

Stopped paying close attention to this one, but RM just made it 1-0 after a series of RM corners. Juve still in this one, but they haven't started the 2nd half as well as they started the first.

 

Madrid scores on a cross following a corner. Garcia completely unmarked. 1-0 in the 56’.

McKennie time?

 

Nope.

 

McKennie among the small group warming up. But only two subs for now with Nico Gonzalez and Kostic for Kelly (injured) and Conceicao.
