Maybe this piece of information will emphasize for some why it was imperative, apart from reasons of prestige, to qualify from that shitty CL group.

Torreira loan rumors popping up. From England and latest is La Stampa.

Let's see. We would obviously need to dump Eriksen out on loan first. Spurs is linked to him, we want them to pay his full salary + loan fee. Knowing Levy, we would probably have to forget the loan fee.

Arsenal could do with a creative midfielder, I can see a dry loan swap Torreira <-> Eriksen coming up.

His agent already denied that there's been any contacts with Inter. His client is happy in Madrid and won't move in January.

Why aren't we trying to get Odegaard?

What would Conte want with Odegaard?

Can't believe we lost twice to the worst Madrid side of this decade. The same one that lost twice to Shakhtar as well.

Zidane schooled Conte in that away game. It seemed to me like it was a mirror image in terms of the main possession tactic compared to last weekend's game. We did to Juve what Madrid did to us. Moved the ball quickly left to right and exploited the spaces.

Sometimes you play to the opposition.

When its supposed to be an easy game and cellar dwellers suddenly play like they're juve and top teams play like they're Bari....

Still we should have made it through, Conte's tactics in the last game was deplorable. Almost a copy of Italy v Sweden a couple of years ago.

It's also the only Real Madrid side of this decade :work:

I assume it was a tactical choice because Tuchel is/was very happy to be the coach of Kante he explicitly said.

I don't know about that. Kante has mostly been a sub since Tuchel took over.

I don't follow Chelsea so I only assumed this because of his interview a few days ago but apparently I'm wrong. :D

They are playing some kind of 5-2-3, no? so only 2 of Jorginho-Kovacic-Kanté can play, my surprise is that i thought Kanté would be ahead of those 2.

Kante's dropped off sharply, and Kovacic has been great for the past season and a half.

Kante had a few injuries last season and he doesn't start so prominently anymore.
