I think Ziyech needs to be pulled for Werner at the half. 

I would say Kovacic is more of a problem... but in general, we are sleeping...

[Gol15]

Chiesa really good.

[sonic90]

How can you let them take the shot and then give advantage

[RMCM]

We really need to figure out how to break down teams who play with 10 men behind the ball, and I’m not sure passing it from Alonso to rudiger to Alonso to Ziyech to kovacic to Silva to mendy is the answer

He is working with nothing though, can’t actually blame him.

[LongtimerLurker]

Thats a weird advantage from from ref, thank God for 5 subs in Europe we're going to need to change this sok  or at least half time.

[CFCCAN]

How Alonso gets in this side against good opposition is head scratching. He's playing about as good as he did Saturday.  Has Ben fallen out with TT or something?  Kovacic having a bit of a mare for a change..

[Brigadeiro]

Get CHO on that left field instead of Ziyech... Stop that ball trapping, pass to rudiger or Alonso's right foot in the halfway line. 

Someoneeee

[mojo]

wat

[Bluesince66]

I'm losing the will to live watching us.

[Uxanga]

I can see Szeszny having the game of his life, and Cuadrado scoring against us. 

Kovacic again

We were like that in quite a few Champions League games last season too. We just managed to get the results when we needed them

Those were in the knockout stages, I don't mind those as much but this is the group stage. We should at least try harder

[Seeking Relevancy]

I dont understand what do ziyech and havertz do tbh zero creativity 

 

[thebluekid]

Wow this match is an absolute bore fest. On a positive note though my housemate who’s suffered from incurable insomnia has managed to actually drift off so that’s good news.

Because he's the only natural wingback in the squad.

I need a drink

Juve aren't playing a 4-4-2, it's a 4-3-3 which turns into a 4-4-1-1 (sort of) when they are out of possession.

This is really uninspiring stuff. We don't really seem to have a plan to get the ball into the box beyond aimless crossing or Havertz trying to dribble through about four players. They look far, far more likely to score than we do, and it's progressively getting worse as the half goes on.

I mean a draw away at Juventus when we're missing our two best players isn't a bad result on paper, but still... what is the plan here exactly?

[Luca Vialli]

Someone fire up the half time cattle prod for Ziyech please. He does nothing.

[ducavis]

He needs to bin this formation, and build his tactics around the players we have. He seems to be hiding behind this formation and the solidity 3CBs offer.

[LongtimerLurker]

What's our problem? Are our players just not compatible in attack? Is it the system? Are the players just not good enough to consistently breakdown teams? Is it the coaches tactics? I don't know why we struggle to create clear cut chances I really don't know it could be any of those or something else

[thebluekid]

PS. Kai Havertz is absolute dog sh*t and anyone that thinks he’s going to turn in to something special because he did well in the f**king bundesliga needs a word. 

[goose]

Kova having a mare tonight.

[KonaKai Blue]

Kai has really disappointed me. 

[mojo]

f**k this ref
