What a dumb PK to give away.

That goal for Atalanta has been coming.

Ramsey's never been a creator at all, his best form at Arsenal was always being given a free role ahead of two CMs and drifting into the box to score, little bit like Lampard at Chelsea. Rabiot is far more of the DLP type and seems to have played well since lockdown.
Ultimately Juve did their usual of playing the free transfer market and they can always sell Ramsey back to premier league for 30-40m so no bother for them really.
Here comes the super sub Muriel.
Probably Cuadrado, Scesny is actually playing better than Neuer, Pjanic is of similar quality to Kimmich/Thiago, Rabiot, Matuidi, Bentancour aren't really any worse than Goretzka, De Ligt, Bonucci, Dybala, Cristiano, Douglas Costa...
There really isn't that much of a difference. Bayern's are just better assorted and coached
Such as? Papu? Erkisen? Maybe Brozovic? De Vrij? Ilicic?
Come on
I don't disagree that they have problems that go beyond the manager, they aren't a particularly well assembled side, similar to Barcelona. That said, Sarri certainly does himself no favours by insisting on a playing style that doesn't elevate them at all, and if anything makes them worse than they could be
Juventus have the same problems of his Napoli, they're great in stretches when the pressing works and incredibly fragile when it doesn't and can't defend well positionally
Thought Franck Kessie played really well in the game (apart from shooting). Feels like he's on the verge of breaking through again after his fantastic season for Atalanta in 16-17. Been a slow burner at Milan but could be huge for them next season.
think they've finally realized how to use him properly. Been really really good for a while now. Same with Bennacer. Honestly Ibrahimovic and Pioli have massively improved and regenerated a lot of players that looked mediocre before
Chalanoglu looked like a bust, now he's great
Was very impressed with him. Showed neat touches and used the ball well.
He was very good to be fair. Shielded the defence well and his distribution wasn’t too bad either, although he could do with keeping it simple at times instead of trying to ping 40-50 yard passes, but that could have just been Milan’s tactic last night when they went long to Ibrahimovic a lot.
Kjaer and Zapata had a great duel all game long. Kjaer looks like the centre-back Milan lacked for many years. Could be a shrewd acquisition for them for the low fee they paid. Along with Ibrahimovic, the Milan dressing-room has a healthy mix of experienced leaders and talented youngsters now.
Cuadrado has had a very good year so I'll give you that one but Pjanic of similar quality to Thiago and Kimmich? Matuidi? Bonucci? It's 2020, not 2016. Douglas Costa can't start ahead of freaking Bernardeschi and he's injured half the season. Szczesny has had a worse season than Neuer, he was great last year but this year he's been nothing special at all.
You really overrate their squad if you think the difference between them and Bayern is that Bayern are better coached rather than a big difference in squad quality. If they get things wrong this summer they won't win the league next year, mark my words.
Yeah and Bayern's starting CB duo has been Baoteng-Alaba. If you think there's a significant difference between those two and Bonucci then there's no point continuing this discussion
Pjanic? He's had a poor half season. That makes him significantly worse than Kimmich or permanent sick note Thiago? Ok
Goretzka plays quite a bit for Bayern, is he better than Bentancour? I don't think so
Sure enough, he's too often injured to be considered. Kinda like Coman, who's also not particularly better han him
Statistically better than Neuer across the board. Also one of the best goalkeepers in Italy, again
I think you massively underrate them, for whatever reason
If they don't win the league next year it'll be because someone else got massively better, not because juventus will suddenly be a poor side
PS Bayern were a significantly worse side with virtually the same players under Kovac
0-1

The day his idol fecks off we will be both happier. There are still France and the US to conquer, my only doubt is they will never pay him €31m/net year so it is what it is, scapegoats everywhere but Him.You want Cristiano to leave? Seriously?
You want Cristiano to leave? Seriously?
The CL mission is very difficult to be accomplished (the WC format could still favor a lucky strike but we are gassed and out of depth at this stage). Mostly, the squad really needs a clear reset: too many spent legs, too many passengers, a troubled and awkward coaching transition. Ronnie’s two years in Turin have been a pass on the pitch and a commercial success, but another season would turn sour pretty soon imho.
Sanchez scores for Inter.
Come on Inter! You want him so pay the fees & his wages.
We can still use him. I would take him back. He is a bit too expensive as a backup player, but buying one cost a lot too.
I guess selling him to free up the wages make sense. Still not easy to find a good backup player that do not cost 30 M or more. If they do they might want to start a lot too.
0-2

c'mon Inter pull the trigger

Agreed. Would deffo take him back. He would thrive in the new set up.
21m p/y is his salary. At this point, buying is better than paying 21m p/y for backup.
Yeah would function better when we play 3-5-2 or use diamond too.
I guess he can play as a 10 too to rest Bruno and down the wings even if he is slower now.
I hope that if we do let him go we actually spend and buy 3 good players this window.
One defender FB or CB, Sancho plus one backup attacker.
Good third goal by Lukaku. Nice finish.
Lukaku and Sanchez have such repulsive individualistic, narcissistic personalities don’t they? So glad they’re so far away from this feel good squad. No wonder Sanchez never got along with anyone but his dogs in Arsenal and United

great goal and excellent first season for Lukaku. Martinez on the other hand doesn't seem to score much lately. completely overshadowed by Rom atm.
Napoli are so lucky
3 goals from Sassuolo chalked of by Var
3 goals from Sassuolo chalked of by Var
Funny situation in a Napoli Sassuolo game. 4 times Sassuolo scored a goal and 4 times the goal was overturned (and all times correctly) by VAR.
All the favourites winning today.
Parma beat Brescia 2-1. Inter beat Genoa 3-0 and Napoli beating Sassuolo 1-0 in the 82nd min.

2-0 now with Allan scoring from the edge of the box
How good is Allan?
Here we go , Sanchez scores a few goals for Inter and all of a sudden he’s going thrive.
It wasn’t just down to form Ole got rid of him.
Classic knee jerk
Feck off. Go back through my posts, I've always said that I would take Sanchez back.
Get your facts straight before making knee-jerk comments yourself.
Just as well you’re not manager then isn’t it.
