Juventus take control of Group H with a convincing victory, albeit only by a single goal. The gap in quality was clear from early on, Juventus playing with a composure and organisation that had us second best for most of the game. We had some moments of threat, mostly in the second half, but we never tested Szczesny and the visitors were pretty comfortable.

We are still in a decent position in the group thanks to Valencia drawing at Young Boys earlier in the evening. Plenty of work still to do though to the reach the last 16. I think we can confidently say that Juventus have top spot in this group wrapped up, they're an impressive outfit.

Again...

Who cares? Players are clearly trying their best but both quality and evidence of quality coaching is sorely lacking.

Waste of a season. God love those supporters watching this crap.

Missed the game. Is it worth it rewatching the full 90 or will extended highlights do?

What were Woodward and Joel Glazer doing with the players all week in training? We looked awful, horrible set up right from the start.

0 creativity in midfield.
Putting in effort in the second half won't ever be enough against a team as good as Juve.
Meh.

Another sloppy first half, albeit against a much better side. Second half much better but pretty clueless in the final third, again, albeit against a very solid defense.

Not sure why I expected anything else.

The only surprising thing about that was the number of people on here that predicted we’d win!

Red Card for Casemiro!
Mourinho is a coward. Happy with losing 1-0 at home. Fecking disgrace of an approach to the game.

Wouldn't mind if Lukaku were let go for free. What a useless excuse of a footballer.

How comes Ashley Young can take on his man but Lukaku/Rashford/Martial can’t?

I'm starting to think that Jose might not actually be the guy to lead us forward....Still early days

But seriously - how long are we going to wait?

Didn't get going until the 2nd half, Juve solid in defence. We need to play from the first minute not the 45th

Juventus didn’t have to get out of first gear. They’re just a much better team than we are as expected.

Lukaku is a coward and a shirker. I would pay good money for a 90 min replay of just his player cam.

Horrific player.

The gap between both teams was seriously, absolutely huge. Juve walked the game with second gear. It was an easy 1-0 win without putting much effort into it.

We're a third tier European team at the moment. An EL level of a team.

The second half performance was better, but it feels like it was only so because Juve took their foot off the gas.

What happened at OT, did juventus fans take over the stadium?!?!

Btw for those interested, at the end they were having a proper go at mourinho. "Mourinho uomo di merda", put it through google translate

Only watched 45 mins...didn't bother with 2nd half as it was obvious we were shit and tactically inept.

Mourinho needs to feck off.
