This will be interesting. They've not lost at home in eons, and we're gunning for 7 in a row.

[Solfice]

Time to take a J-scalp!

Don't forget how the last Juve streak ended:

 

[nutsncider]

Fuck juve!!! When was the last time we beat them twice in a season?

 

[Ed.]

The last time Inter won on Juventus' turf was after Juventus' 24 unbeaten Serie A home matches and Inter's 6 Serie A matches winning streak.
It's now after Juventus' 29 unbeaten home matches and Inter's 7 wins in a row. It's time to put a full stop for them again.

If you refer to serie a only. that would go all the way back to 2003-04.

OK, then what happened...

 

[Armes]

I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll this time
I feel my luck could change

The head of state
Has called for me by name
But I don't have time for him
It's gonna be
A glorious day

 

[Maslany]

This is definitely the real test.

8th test that is. Come on! I feel that we are gonna give our everything! So nice to be heading into the derby after our consecutive 7th win...

 

[Bluenine]

8 in a row pls.

No Matador, no party!

It'll be interesting to see if they continue with their ultra-offensive lineup they've been using recently against us. I think our midfield should be able to easily outwork theirs. Whether we can deal with their strikers is something else entirely though

 

[JJM]

you guys do realize we play Lazio in Coppa midweek...someone go open the thread,I'm not brave enough tbh,I don't want to be the one to cancel a wining run if it happens kay:

Kondogbia has to play. Brozovic and Gagliardini are too offensive, not to mention that they don't seem to match up so far.

I'm brave enough, just like the guy on my avatar.

Found this stat interesting. Average distance ran per game by our midfielders:

Gags: 12.169km
Brozo: 11:622
Mario: 9:966
Kond: 9.822
Banega: 9.075

Theirs:
Marchiso: 10.868km
Khedira: 10.556
Pjanic: 10.551
Asamoah: 10.148
Hernanes: 10.075

That's something I had picked up on from watching their team, but now I have numbers to back it up. Our midfield is far more athletic and willing to run. We need to take advantage of this.

 

[Candreva Crosses]

That's not such a big difference on average but lets say we play Gagli, Brozo and Mario, now that would be taking advantage.

 

[Bluenine]

That's not such a big difference on average but lets say we play Gagli, Brozo and Mario, now that would be taking advantage.

If only it was a contest of who runs more. We fucking need Kondogbia for this one. Gags-Brozo is too lightweight a midfield duo for Juve. Hell, the jury is still out on Kdog-Gags... Juve are a few levels above anything they have been tested against yet.

This is the real test for my earlier argument that we need a proper DM against top teams. Lets hope I am proven wrong...
