If you're thinking like me, you've probably forgotten that ever happened seeing as
Juve played like total garbage.
Coman was a surprise starter the first time
Juve played Fiorentina this season, but that was months ago.
There aren't any excuses for how poorly
Juve played in the second half, but if Casemiro's long range effort doesn't deflect off Sami Khedira then Buffon makes the save and the game is still level after the hour mark.
Juve played well, but not perfectly or, sorry La Joya, particularly intelligently.
And if any of you watched the match you would've seen bvb dominated juve except
juve played a little better in the 2nd half.
Juve played their heart out yes as we have sometimes They didn't play their best thought....
Remember that
Juve play with 2 strikers, while we play with only one.
Juve play defense as a unit better than any other squad that I have seen in this tournament.
In other expert analysis, I have no idea why Sami Khedira is still starting pretty much every game
Juve plays.
So, if we want to have a prayer circle for Dybala every single day until
Juve play Spurs, I'm totally cool with that.
Not exact matches
I know everyone is thinking that Schneiderlin is the ideal signing for us, and I may agree with that, but, I have been following the games Paul Pogba have
played lately and, to me, that kid is worth every penny
Juve is asking for.
The classy midfield maestro has also
played for AC Milan and Inter Milan in a glittering career, and remains a key player for
Juve after helping them to three title wins in a row in Serie A.

Juve to three successive Serie A titles between 2011 and 2014, and also enjoyed a glittering
playing career with the Turin giants.
-- In our current set up: Coq = DM, Carzola = B2B —
Juve: Vidal = DM, Pogba = B2B — Man U: Carrick = DM, Herrera = B2B — City: Fernandiho = DM, Yaya = B2B — Chelsea: Matic = DM, Ramires (when
playing) = B2B — Lpool: Lucas = DM, Henderson = B2B
Also, sterling, sane, Jesus, aguero wouldn't have been as attacking as they are if they
played for Allegro's
juve.
I call them super stars to Bonucci bcos they
play for a top club,
Juve, that is fighting for d scudetto & UCL while Bonucci

Is he any good because hes nt really
playing for
juve at all bit supose to be one of the brightest defensive prospects coming out of Italy atm?
Ibrahimovic
played for Juventus at a similar age (as Morata is now) and only scored 10 and 16 goals for
Juve and look at what happened to him with more experience.
he did nt just fail it... HE BANG FAILED IT WITH FLYING COLOURS!!!!! d issue of its only 1 match is not it... d same issues arise when he
plays for
juve... he's only a good player outside d box with his speed, link up
play and dribbling but inside???.....
Saw him
play recently against
Juve and he was Roma's best player hands down.
adriend rabiot is a very good player there is a reason why
juve / roma & many clubs want him yet many here sees him like any other 19 yr old kid at 19 rabiot
plays like a 23 - 24 yr old in 2 years time he will be better
As reported by the Daily Star, the transfer of the talented young Palermo forward to
Juve has been confirmed by the Palermo chief Beppe Iachini, ending any hope that the player dubbed the new Sergio Aguero would be
playing for the Gunners next season.
No... it means he
played there for
Juve because that's how he fit into their formation / tactics.
Morata chose the Madrid bench over challenging for CL with
Juve, what makes you think he wants to join Arsenal and
play here for years to come?
Pirlo is the deepest player at
juve and
plays as the «DM» marchisio hardly ventures forward cause he does the running for pirlo, pirlo does what he can.
The centre forwards at Bayern, PSG,
Juve, Real, Chelsea, Man City and Barca all had totals in the teens for their league goals from open
play and all (bar Chelsea) were comfortably outscored by wide forwards / second strikers in their teams.
allegri is actually very smart, he knows that
juve does not have the money to get the top attacking players to
play a dominating score more than you approach in europe so he decided to fall back on the old guard of buffon + bbc.
On top of my head, Zanetti, Veron, Milito, Crespo, Cambiasso, Walter Samuel big names that
played for the Argentina national team, which it'd help big time in term of fans vs Trezeguet (Half) & Cammoranessi (Half) cant recall any other pure Argentinians who
play for
Juve.
Juve were able to out - think and out -
play them for the first hour of the game, and it took a goal from Robert Lewandowski to swing the momentum back in their favour.
Personally, I would love to see a front three of welbeck Sanchez Lacazette... Wenger shld jes let ds guys start
playing together... Arsenal shld have a fixed starting 11 by now... I wonder what AW is thinking abt... lets hv a «SLW» attacking trio Like other big teams like Rmadrid wif BBC / CIA, Barca wif MSD, PSG wif NME, Chelsea wif HMP, Tottenham wif HED,
Juve wif HDD etc...
The 24 - year - old really caught the eye at previous club Sassuolo, but does not look guaranteed regular
playing time with new side
Juve, due to the presence of players like Mario Mandzukic, Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala.
yeah but he
plays AM for
Juve, and this is where he excels, not at DM.DM is a specialized position, thats why Coquelin does so well there because he recognises this and remains disciplined.Vidal has that instict to go 4ward which would make him less disciplined.The last thing we need is another AM
As mentioned, SPAL has been
playing well, they drew
Juve, Fiorentina, and Atalanta.
In turn, the Blues opted to send him back to Italy in a loan deal to
Juve, where he has

look at
juve they take players that suit the
play not going for fancy big name and having to tinker with the system.
Shame
Juves new signing and wonderkid Dybala won't be
playing tonight.
Fellow
Juve centre - back and club legend Giorgio Chiellini has said, «Daniele arrived as a 21 - year - old, has come on a great deal and is on the right track for a guy who has 10 to 15 seasons at Juventus ahead of him,»... «When you arrive here you can't expect to
play every game in your first season, that's also how it was for me.
At the end, matters is we are
playing well and hopefully we carry it onto next game vs
Juve.
The Bosnian has
played regularly for the Italian giants since his arrival so there is no obvious reason why he should want to leave, and as he has scored six goals as well as his assists, there is no reason why
Juve would want to let him go so soon after his arrival.
Furthermore, if this is true, I hope
Juve win the CL this year, so he comes to England with more confidence and the players, especially someone like Sanchez will have more belief in him, and will also
play a part in attracting world class players.
The 35 - year - old was superb in
Juve's first - leg victory over Spanish giants Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final last week, and his performance has proven his ability to continue to
play at the highest level.
He hasn't
played there recently but he's
played there often in his career (I think that's actually the position he made his name
playing prior to the
Juve move) and more importantly, to say he wouldn't or couldn't be a better alternative to flamini and the injury prone and defensively limited Arteta would be crazy imo.
The reason he didn't
play often at
juve was the fact that
juve had two world class strikers last season in morata and tevez.
Juve playmaker Giovinco has been linked with the club several times in the past, and looks a player who could fit in well into Arsenal's system with his neat link - up
play, while French striker Gignac is in fine form in front of goal at the moment, with 12 goals in just 9 games this term.
Also, loads of experience
playing next to the like of Pirlo and all the other legends at
Juve.
Juve's goals came on their first two shots on frame after
playing over an hour in a game which we had to win.
Sorry for continually being ignorant and missing the point («your» point to be precise)-- but
playing one - twos with Alexis in the opposition penalty area in the Copa and being deployed at the head of
Juve's midfield diamond is not convincing me that his coaches / managers see his best position as a disciplined holding midfield player.
Also at the front of
juve 3 out and out strikers
playing together in higuain, Dybala and mandzukic and all of them working hard all over the pitch
This is an incredibly difficult question to answer for a variety of reasons, most importantly because over the years our once vaunted «beautiful» style of
play has become a shadow of it's former self, only to be replaced by a less than stellar «plug and
play» mentality where players
play out of position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute... if you look at our current players, very few would make sense in the traditional Wengerian system... at present, we don't have the personnel to move the ball quickly from deep - lying position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards to stretch defences into wide positions, without the aid of the backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes in the same clinical fashion we did years ago... on this current squad, we have only 1 central defender on staf, Mustafi, who seems to have any prowess in the offensive zone or who can even pass two zones through so that we can advance
play quickly out of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency to get himself in trouble when he gets overly aggressive on the ball... from our backs out wide, we've seen pace from the likes of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted
play of Monreal, but none of these players possess the skill - set required in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely runs to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was
playing and his ratio of scored goals per clear chances was relatively low (better last year though)... obviously I like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach pace, but I do worry that he regressed last season, which was obvious to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side wing - back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling in the off - season, if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders, not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched
played for the Swiss national team a couple years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently to justify): that being said, I've always thought he does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow to ever boss the midfield and he tends to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball
play: although I must admit he did get a bit better during some points in the latter part of last season... it always made me wonder why whenever he
played with Coq Wenger always seemed to
play Francis in a more advanced role on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless at the wrong times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet finds himself in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready to throw him in the trash heap when injuries forced him to use Francis and then he had the nerve to act like this was all part of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary to satisfy the quick transitory nature of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive players can remain aggressive in the final third... on the front end, we have Ozil, a player of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends to offend, the fact that he's been
played out of position far too many times since arriving and that the players in front of him, minus Sanchez, make little to no sense considering what he has to offer (especially Giroud); just think about the quick counter-attack offence in Real or the space and protection he receives in the German National team's midfield, where teams couldn't afford to focus too heavily on one individual... this player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try to reinvent the wheel and / or not surround such a talent with the necessary components... in regards to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them in large part as headless chickens who are on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair to warrant their inclusion in a regular starting eleven; I would say that, of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went to a back 3, but even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract talks before the season ended and that concerned me a bit... if I had to choose one of those 3 players to stay on it would be Ox due to his potential as a plausible alternative to Bellerin in that wing - back position should we continue to use that formation... in Sanchez, we get one of the most committed skill players we've seen on this squad for some years but that could all change soon, if it hasn't already of course... strangely enough, even he doesn't make sense given the constructs of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem to justify the means... finally, and in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would even suggest such a player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once again, I think he has some special skills and, at times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack of mobility is an albatross around the necks of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best starting 11, I don't have a clue because of the 5 or 6 players that truly deserve a place in this side, 1 just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the other was just sold to
Juve... man, this is theraputic because following this team is like an addiction to heroin without the benefits
In contrast,
Juve were perhaps a little too deep and passive which isn't like them based on their style of
play in Serie A.
