Interesting from Allegri. Many pundits have talked about our high defensive line and chances to get behind our advanced full backs. But few teams have managed to exploit that and our defensive stats are good. Man City game may be the model for Juve. Sane had a lot of fun against Trippier in a back 4 and Costa could offer similar threat for Juventus in theory. So does Poch go to a back 3 with Sanchez on right to help deal with that, and reduce defensive responsibility on Trippier. Or stay aggressive with 2 CBs?

The last thing we need for this game is passengers like Alli at times and obligatory brainfarts from the likes of Dier and Sanchez .
I think it’ll be a back 4. While tripps really struggled vs sane he coped really well in a 4 (to my surprise) against martial/Sanchez, mane/Salah and lol Mkhitaryan/Ozil so he’s earned my trust. I think he learned from city tbf. My main concern is that someone tracks to help him be it Son/Lamela/Lucas...../Sissoko
Without Toby, we do not possess the defensive minerals to deal with a player of Dybala's quality. For this reason, I expect defeat.
That's the spirit!
Have you ever watched Paulo Dybala? We have not had an attacking player of his quality since Jurgen. And we have never had a defender I would be confident could contain him for a full game.
Yes I have.
We shall see but should you be wrong I'll be EXTREMELY quick to remind you of your words of doom.
In the meantime, please fuck off and leave this site. You're a fucking disgrace.
We should loan McGuin to mark him this game
Wash your fucken mouth, cunt.
Hahaha.
You're waving the white flag already and have the cheek to call me a cunt?
Pathetic.
If we play on Wednesday like we played in Rome there is not a chance in hell that we will go through. Starting from the fact that in rome we did not need to win and we played not to lose while in London we will play to win. I think Allegri will still be relatively cautious in the first half but if the score will not change in our favour he will have to take risk in the second. A big difference vs the first leg is that Matuidi and Dybala are back although Paulo is still far from full form. Higuain is still not sure, but I think he will play in the end.
It should be a game with goals though since I do not expect you to sit and wait to defend the draw and you are very dangerous in attack, but I expect juve to have a much better hold of the midfield vs the first leg. It should be a good game, unfortunately did not manage to find a ticket

Listen, rat, you spoke our of turn. You're trying to double down on it.
I spoke with honesty. Fools like you give us the idiot class reputation. We must respect the Old Lady, or they will hurt us. We are going into this game with the wrong head, and it's because of cunts like you.
And don't bother with your private message apologies. I don't want to hear then. Wash your mouth.
Apologise?! Hahaha, for what? For not giving up before a ball has even been kicked?!
Fuck off and fuck McGinn as well. All Scottish players are gash. He wouldn't even make it into our reserve team!
What a dick. Go and have a drink, might prevent you from acting like such a cunt.
Ffs.
Really not sure where are you getting that from....I have listened to many of Allegri's interviews and he has always talked about Spurs as a very strong team that has the same chances to qualify as us.
He did say that your weakest link is defense or less strong compared to a world class midfield and attack. And to be honest I do not think that is a wrong assessment of the team's relative strength and it was demonstrated in Turin where you conceded and created a lot of chances
