Juventus - Inter (5 Feb 17) [1-0]

[Candreva Crosses]

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...

Yeah, I'd like Kdog-Gagli too but I don't trust Kdog that much yet I'm sorry but I can't put my faith in that guy yet.

If people picked up a card mid week would that rule them out of this game?

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.

Those stats show that Juve's work rate is quite balanced and all of them put in the same amount of effort going back & forth.

Ours shows who is the real engine room.

Good pick up Shauny.

Is the stat per 90 mins? Because Mario, Banega rarely play full match recently.

Fuck knows for sure. But Shauny did say average.

Fucken Shauny

Nope.

Fuck knows for sure. But Shauny did say average.

it's per game, not per 90 minutes for whatever reason. Not sure why. It could be a little misleading.

Anyway, this stat is more straightforward:

[Joker]

i smell another comeback win here

 

[Ziyad]

They are very good on their turf, no way we win this one especially that we won the first game. When did we ever beat them twice??

[Bluenine]

Juve are looking quite dangerous with this new ultra-attacking formation... Kdog & Gags have their work cut out. And we will need Miranda, Murillo and Handa on top of their game.

Erm...you are confusing the jinx and the anti-jinx m8
What you are saying is an anti-jinx
FIF laws 101

Example: We are crap,Rube is winning this shit,fuck it

Elementary example of the anti-jinx

 

[Ronin]

The only way to take something out of this match is to press them hard for 100 minutes.

I bet Allegri doesnt have the balls to use this attacking lineup against us. Theres no cover in the middle. Even Khedira is gunghooing as we have seen in the last games.

We would murder them on the counter, i think its gonna be old 3-5-2 system with a stacked midfield, Sandro and Lichter a bit behind on the wings protecting Candreva, Perisic runs.

Anyway its gonna be a hell of a match. But lets eliminate Lazio first.

Anyway, this stat is more straightforward:

Vs

From what I read Juve search for early goal and trying to kill the game in last 30min. While inter wasting 60 min before rushing to find a winning goal in last 30 min. Our defence pretty much fuck up in whole 90 minute, we need minimizing conceded by early goal.

 

[Harpsabu]

I can't be the only one thinking Juve aren't that impressive this season? They haven't had to find a second gear for 90% of their matches, so lets hope we use that to our advantage. Im optomistic about our chances. We have nothing to lose, and I dont think Allegri will have the balls for his attacking line up. I wonder if Pioli will go back to a 3man centre mid or 2 mids and an AM. Could play medel in DM also. A lot of decisions to make for SP, what a luxery we finally have in midfield.

 

[JJM]

Medel in mf...did you learn nothing while watching the difference from Manshitni,FdB and Pioli?!
Medel didn't play a game under Pioli as a DM(ok he was injured)but he is a CB in Pioli's eyes and he is spot on!

This would be possibly the only game i would put him back there, we need extra protection and I dont trust kdog to provide it

 

[JJM]

Buffon gave an interview where he said that we are(Inter) in better form than Barca and Real and he has great respect for our individuals and team as they already found in Milano...Allegri said that he predicted from the start that Inter could be dangerous after the bad start and we have potential to reach CL or even challenge them for the Scudo(difficult because they are much ahead)but we have quality

Is this fear or they want to mess with our head a bit?! bit of both angles probably

 

[Pimpin]

it has been years since i have felt we have the superior midfield and attack .

I don't see how juventus wins except of individual brilliance. We can controll the ball, they are not comfortable being on the defensive, and we are deadly on the counter, we have the 2 of the fastest wingers in the league and the most lethal striker. Honestly im really optimistic about this one.
