This is the bit that pisses me off. Everyone bangs on about experience and tactical wareness, and how we should have protected what we had, yada yada yada
Juventus looked absolute pony apart from a 3 minute spell and a few electric sprints from Billy Whizz. They systematically fouled, niggled and cheated their way through the game and the officials were seemingly the only people in the stadium that couldn't see that the team that were once convicted of match fixing were cheating and fouling consistently.
What the hell is wrong with putting 11 players on the pitch who want to do what the game is all about, score goals, use skill and play good football until the final whistle?
Now the mark of excellence seems to be to defend in depth, throw a few sneaky punches, con the ref and physically try to lay waste to the opposition. And then people laud it, like it was a great way to conduct yourself.
How did the gorilla who was riverdancing on Son get to stay on the pitch? Do EUFA do retrospective bans?
