GWT: UCL R16 Second Legs (current events talk in First Leg thread)

[Savant]

I don't agree.

I think he's a pretty good footballer. He is not worth what they paid. But he's better than he has shown. I think the parade of defenders next to him, the mediocrity in front of him providing cover and meh management, and it's where it is. He's trying to do too much. Klopp could fix him.

Klopp would not be able to use him with Liverpool’s high line/offsides trap.

 

[Chimaera]

I don’t think he’s dead slow. It’s more about reading and understanding. But yeah wouldn’t completely fit the system

There are much worse defenders that do solid work when they're insulated correctly. Hell, Craig Dawson got run out of Watford and has creditably done the job at West Ham. The expectation of how West Ham and United plays is obviously different, but Dawson is also expected to play within himself whereas I think Maguire is constantly trying to do too much to live up to the price tag.

In the fog.

 

[Juve]

I am wondering if I should take a couple of gummies today before game.

Do you usually save them for special occasions only?

Being a pretty good footballer doesn't mean that England's Süle knockoff is good enough for the level that's expected of him for club or country.

 

[Peen]

Unsurprisingly, a very defensive lineup from Tuchel

 

[Juve]

Do you usually save them for special occasions only?

Yes, only for moments when I need to remain calm. I don't take them on daily bases.

I don’t think it’s a surprise he looked his best(still not 80mil worth) when Ole was just bunkering down and countering. His skill set is tailor made for that. And it’s not a surprise that since RR has emphasized pressing and a higher line that it’s exposed all of Maguires weaknesses.

What's with the short bench for Juve? Makes me even happier about my prediction.

A lot of injuries..... unfortunately...

 

[Peen]

Very weird penalty call in the chelsea match

 

[Peen]

Pulisic probably ends the match there

 

[Juve]

As I expected, Allegri Masterclass in full display.

 

[les Habs]

Another shitty La Liga side through.

 

[Savi]

Juve and first round KO exits, name a better duo

 

[Juve]

I've been banned for a week from the Juve channel on Reddit. lol The Allegri fan boys can't handle the truth.

Juve and first round KO exits, name a better duo

Twilight is a better love story than Juve and CL at this point.

 

[PeteWorrell]

Unai Emery could not push PSG forward but he sure can with Villarreal.

 

[Savi]

For all the talk about La Liga being shit this year, they've got 3 teams in the QF and a 4th who's gonna win the Europa

 

[Power Man]

lol Juve

 

[Juve]

I am 100% certain De Ligt will leave. I honestly wouldn't blame him. I would never want play for Allegri as player. I think I would play for Inter before going to any team with Allegri coaching it.

Was Allegri manager when de Ligt signed in the first place? Juve was always kind of a weird spot for him but that was probably Raiola’s doing more than anything.

He was fired when De Ligt signed. Just Allegri back has a backwards mentality. I don't see how joining Juventus is weird. Even at our worst, we are still "technically" a top team. The only thing odd is Juventus never properly rebuilt the midfield.
