Not with this team and certainly not under this coach

Good thing atleast we haven't collapsed financially like Barca

It's not even a case of them being unlucky (aside from injuries) they look woeful out there.

Juve have to score. A 2-1 away loss is not a bad result and will actually make them favorites again.

Dropping your top CL goalscorer of this season for a CL knockout game

Height of arrogance from the coach as is his stupid idea of playing out from the back when we are struggling to beat the press

Speaking of which, what the f happened to Morata? Just a little over a month ago, I watched him play and he was phenomenal. Now, he's glued to the bench.

Did his Chelsea form creep up on him again?

He's been pretty poor for the last few games but still a much better option than Kulu at this point.

He's scored 6 goals in the group stage. Really stupid to bench him. And I am not sure what Pirlo is waiting for to make that sub. Maybe after we concede another I guess.

Yeah. Don't think 2 goals is an insurmountable task for Juve at home. That said, I know little about Porto in 2021. Thought they were the weakest team in the competition.

It is too much for this team under this coach though.

Thank fuck

Still appalling performance

by M99 Thu Feb 18, 2021 1:12 am

What a finish by Chiesa.

Porto done fucked up. Could have gone up 3-0 multiple times.

YEEEEEEEEEEES CHIESAAAAA

It was a clear offside, I don't know why he passed to Morata is he had passed to the right we could have had a great chance

This is what you get for benching Ramsey over shite like Bentancur and Rabiot ffs

by M99 Thu Feb 18, 2021 1:24 am

...that's a penalty.

by Luca Thu Feb 18, 2021 1:25 am

Absolutely no way you don’t even review that

Not that we deserved a tie but absolutely no way you don’t take a look there

by Robespierre Thu Feb 18, 2021 1:28 am

Shame, that Chiesa gol is going to be decisive, otherwise i could see us to go on incredibly

As always, Ramsey is injured. First time in the squad for a while.

by Hapless_Hans Thu Feb 18, 2021 1:30 am

so, 2-1 it is

decent away result, 1-0 at home will seal it

Looks like it was the right decision because Morata was absolutely terrible the thirty minutes he played Laughing

Juventus

Two easy ties in a row in two years and on their way to bottle it.

Wew

by Luca Thu Feb 18, 2021 1:37 am

It is hard to win away in the CL when you literally gift a goal inside the first 2 minutes

Juventus is definitely not a good enough team to be playing with any sort of handicap

Bentancur-Rabiot an underwhelming pairing again. McKennie very quiet. It’s just not good enough

Hopefully we have Dybala for the next leg, probably the only real hope of seeing a drastic improvement in our play given that Arthur won’t be around most likely

by Arquitecto Thu Feb 18, 2021 1:39 am

It really just comes down to Juventus' midfielders who at times are all specialists in one gameplan to all jack-of-(fuck all)-trades like Bentancur thus provided very little.

Insane how they have failed to spend on a midfielder that will do the job.

Morata apart from that finish looked very lively. We atleast looked more direct and better on the counter. Far far better option than putting Kulu as a striker. Kulu is too raw and inexperienced to be a starting a game like this.
