Re: UCL R16 : Juventus Vs Tottenham Hotspur

by Robespierre Tue Feb 13, 2018 2:42 pm

We need of score 1 goal away at least , but it'hard if I think Juve haven't been conceding a goal for 16 matches

by Warrior Tue Feb 13, 2018 2:44 pm

You clearly never saw Bernardeschi play a single minute.

Humble, hard-working and very talented... what more can we ask ? A bunch of dabs here and there would even suffice to match United's standards.

by rincon Tue Feb 13, 2018 2:47 pm

We won't lose any of the legs imo.

by Firenze Tue Feb 13, 2018 2:50 pm

ah..

'humble' 'hard-working' the things you hear when a player has nothing else remarkable about his play so you have to praise his attitude rather than exploits on the pitch Laughing

It was mostly bait but now I'm convinced I was right :coffee:

by Warrior Tue Feb 13, 2018 3:11 pm

How deluded Laughing

You've been proven wrong on the field sir, you'll be convinced of it when you see Bernardeschi play for the first time.

Probable line-ups:

Juventus: Buffon; De Scilgio, Benatia, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Pjanic, Khedira; Mandzukic, Douglas Costa, Bernardeschi; Higuain

Tottenham: Lloris; Trippier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies/Rose; Dier, Dembele; Eriksen, Alli, Son; Kane

Could see Spurs smashing them or getting smashed hmm

by Luca Tue Feb 13, 2018 4:32 pm

I was expecting Marchisio in and Bernardeschi out for that line up- but I'll wait closer to since we know how these probable line ups go

I feel like we'll miss Matuidi more than Dybala in a match like this, just because we still have quality up top but our midfield is thin

I'm so nervous for this match but that's why I love the Champions League, so much on the line

I trust our home record here

If Spurs win, i will never say anything bad about United again

Why Spurs has a superior squad than United and probably the second best squad in the league, They just have part time mentalities and are one dimensional so they don't achieve what they deserve.

by rincon Tue Feb 13, 2018 4:47 pm

Can't wait for that GOAT save from Buffon on Kane, the Mandzukic goal at the far post, the Bernardeschi free kick goal and Higuain's GOAT finish at the bottom right.

If they can't achieve what they deserve then they do not deserve it.

They've not won trophies but they've finished above United consecutively for two seasons now, Will make it 3 this year as well.

The lineup from earlier is probably mostly right. I think Aurier instead of Trippier because Trippier played on Saturday. Maybe Rose instead of Davies too but that one im not sure of. Poch rotates fullbacks with extreme regularity.

by rincon Tue Feb 13, 2018 5:46 pm

Allegri has been hinting (and briefly tried) at Costa in the center in the Dybala role. It seems a bit counterproductive to have Costa central and Bernardeschi wide but in Max we trust.

That or he scraps that system and continues with the midfield 3 with one of Marchisio, Bentancur or Sturaro.

Forza Juve

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Feb 13, 2018 7:07 pm

#THFC: Lloris (C), Aurier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Dembele, Eriksen, Dele, Lamela, Kane. #COYS

Buffon; De Sciglio, Benatia, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Pjanic, Khedira; Mandzukic, Douglas Costa, Bernardeschi; Higuain.

No Dybala?

by zigra Tue Feb 13, 2018 7:08 pm

Dybala has been injured for quite a while now.

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Feb 13, 2018 7:09 pm

Dier is starting. RIP Spurs

by Luca Tue Feb 13, 2018 7:12 pm

Dybala should make the second leg

It was supposed to be a 3-4 week injury and its been just about that time. Unless he's had any setbacks but nothing I've heard

by Luca Tue Feb 13, 2018 7:15 pm

Bernardeschi starting, victory confirmed @rincon @robes @warrior @tom @realbianconeri

heck yeah

See ya'll after the match probably, if we lose I'm doing a Chad/James/token poster who stopped posting here

If this is my last post, *bleep* you @unique
