Juventus - shakhtar thread

[Tomwin Lannister]

Making it early, not much to add right now except we should still have a whole team to pick from.

Shakhtar have a talented squad and a great manager in Lucescu.Pyatov is a great shot stopper , Rakitsky is a fantastic defender while Srna is a brilliant leader and can cause havoc on his own. Brazilian talent in the form of Willian, Douglas Costa and Luiz Adriano could harm any team.
Mkhitaryan has been great this season and has been touted as the armenian messi. They are currently comfortably leading the Ukranian league and have been great

This is a must win match as the return leg at the Donbass Arena will be very tough and Shakhtar already lead the group. They are a fearless team who don't sit back regardless of who they play. Play just like at SB or risk elimination.

While my knowledge about Shakhtar is limited I've heard enough to know that they can upset a lot of the big clubs on their day. With that said I still expect a victory for us in Turin and any other result could damage our chances of qualifying to the knockout stage.

I don't expect to see Bendtner play in this match as I'm pretty certain he'll start the game against Nordsjaelland!

Shaktar has won over 20 straight games, so they should not be underestimated. I think everyone knows the import of the game.

who do you want to see start up top? i'd like to see vucinic and gio

[Tomwin Lannister]

I know shakhtar are a dangerous team and I think the game will be open. I think we'll edge them in Turin and squeeze a draw in typical Juve fashion away from home.

Up top I would use Vucinic and Gio to give them some real problems. I would introduce Quagliarella later in the game too.

This is going to be a really tough game...This Donetsk side really go for it when they are in the mood so we will really need to be aware and alert...100% focus 100% of the time! For me Donetsk will be a trickier game than Chelsea! Mkhitaryan is a great player and is a name to look out! Forza Juve!

first CL home game! the game should have a great atmosphere

I hope we come out strong and dont even give them a chance just like we did with roma.

We should start with gio and vucinic.. although vucinic played 90 minutes against roma and he ran his ass off that game, so i dont think he can be his best for more than 60 minutes. thats why we need to attack and put the game away quick, cause i dont trust our offense when vucinic isnt on.

i heard they packed it in against the danish team, so i imagine they'll park the bus. either way, i'm pretty excited

Were being outplayed at the moment

[inderbaby]

We must slow the game down! Keep the ball and pass it around!

[Halfsharkgator]

we're not playing our game.

players arent helping when they're off the ball.. we better wake up,
the crowd needs to wake up.. it's not as empty as it looks

[Halfsharkgator]

F********CK

[inderbaby]

Were being played off the park here!

Juve need to slow this f*cking game down!

[Halfsharkgator]

we needed that.. woke us up

[inderbaby]

What a GOALLLLL!

[inderbaby]

We need to play our possession game!

[Halfsharkgator]

*bleep* yea!
bonucci!

[inderbaby]

I don't see us winning this game if we let them have more possession!

[inderbaby]

Keep the f*cking ball for a few minutes ffs!

[inderbaby]

This is better! Keep the ball and push up!

[Halfsharkgator]

i think we need gio or quagliarella upfront instead of matri.. we need more build up play

[Tomwin Lannister]

I don't understand why we don't impose our game in the CL, it's like Juve are saying before the game they can't play possession and will accept to be on the back foot.

Barzagli lately has been woeful at keeping the ball but thank god we scored so quickly after they did. It's time Juventus grabbed the game we seem to need to be behind on goals before we improve the tempo.

Grazie Pirlo and Bon.
