Fernandinho's competitiveness just won him a yellow while winning 0-4 away.

Is it me or is the pitch a bit bobbly?

And I am not sure what Delle Alli usually offers? Obviously he doesn't seem to have a stand out feature, seems to be a Muller like player who if he is not scoring is not much use.

Higuain would worry me every time he stepped up for a penalty if I were a Juve team mate or fan.

He has one of the most unconvincing run ups I’ve seen for a penalty taker.

I'd push Eriksen inside and Son on the left. Last 10 mins give Lucas a chance for Lamela.

Anyone but Rashford
Higuain has been brilliant but is getting no support. They’re too deep. Dybala has been missed.

By the way: How Sane can be back after 2(?) weeks?

Higuain has been the best player on the pitch bar those 2 misses. Juve have woken up, halftime was good for them

If that foul from Sandro was anything, imagine Otamendi's penalty.

I think Alli is terribly overrated myself, also the fact that he obviously is a forward and not a midfielder with his limited defensive impact. However, he did assist Kane today if I remember it correctly.

Statistically one of the best strikers in Serie A history (though quality of that league isn't what it was before he arrived).
That doesn't surprise me. His goal tally at Napoli was absurd for the amount of time he was there, and of course has done well at Juve. And yeah, good point about the league, definitely isn't what it used to be. But still impressive from the big man.

City subbing their best player for their other best player. Being able to bring on Silva for KDB is basically cheating.

Higuain is actually the 4th best player on earth in like 80% of the games, and has been for the past 3 season. It's just that those 20% tend to be the ones that make or break a player's reputation :lol:

Do people realize how depleted this Juve team is? A full strength Juve team would have killed this game.

It's a funny one, if they do it they likely would deserve to do it. Yet I would be horrified with my own team for lacking fight, because that's what it is. The management, players and the club would need to take a good look at themselves.
In any case, like @Jim Beam said it, redcafe would be beyond happy.
