seeing Dybala getting back to form is just pure joy. not sure about you guys, but I felt aaron ramsey is quite static and seldom helps defensively. and free kick taker assignment, I think it should be pjanic, but getting back dybala's confidence is as important.

hope to see better juve vs leverkusen
well, to be honest i don't really put it too much about that. Ramsey-Dybala-Ronaldo are offensive players so they should stick with what they do best
let the defensive duties fall to the likes of Khedira, Matuidi..even Pjanic etc
as for the FK takers, i don't care about whose the 1st taker between Dybala & Pjanic (depend on the angle of freekick spot), but Ronaldo should stay away from FK duties. His poor FK record speak volumes that his strike often hit the wall or goes over the goal
Ramsey’s main contributions are his reading of the game, the late runs into the box. Nearly scored that header if not for the marvelous save from the GK. Although it’s to early to tell, I hope La Joya can continue his form and bag a goal or 2 to boost his confidence further.
I think Cost’s injuries had Sarri changed to this 4-3-1-2, only Rabiot and Ramsey are yet to be fully fit. We are having 2 tough games against Leverkusen and Merda. Their 3 CB formation has yet peak. A solid win will crash them as usual.

Ramsey always reminded me of Marchisio from the 2011/12 season, Conte's first season with Juve. Hence why he's one of the top performing & goalscoring midfielder for Juve at that time
as for Dybala, i got a gut feeling that he'll get his long awaited goal if he get to start against Bayer Leverkusen tomorrow. And even last season his goal scoring record was better in UCL, scoring goals against United, Young Boys etc in the group stage
watched this match last night. I gotta say quite a brilliant performance by Juve
Bayer hold most of the ball possession but look like a non-factor the entire match
De Ligt once again, rock solid at the back
Higuain is the man of the match for me
I thought Bonucci is gaining his previous top form, rock solid performance. His bursting run and blocked the cross to concede a corner was the best moment he had from the game. De Ligt is more like our King Kong, charging the opponents and hard tackles.
Pipita’s goal is a showcase of what he is, a true elite striker who took his chance well.
Fede had a much better 2nd half and great to score 1.
Never thought I would say this but Cuads was actually having a pretty good game apart from 2 occasions where he timed his tackle at wrong timing which got him a booking.
Khedira, a poor man’s Ramsey and his age and fitness issue had got the best from him, but still okay-ish performance.
Those elephant touches from Matuidi got me furious but his four-lungs performance made me forgive him.
That through ball between the defender’s legs and CR7 scored through the GK’s legs was such a joy to watch.
Overall, easily the best game we had so far under Sarri. Leverkusen had a bad game, but we were solid at the back with Woj had no save needed and we were kinda good upfront, still yet to reach the full potential though.
Now, can’t wait for the match in San Siro. They will have to go full force against Barca after that draw with Slavia Prague.
I think worse performer was Szczesny, especially when he failed as he charged out and let the goal open, and CR7 with bad shootings . I think he need to vary his styles, doing chips instead of shooting to goalkeepers. in the last few games, CR shoot to the goalkeeper far too often.
one thing i saw from last match, Dybala & Ramsey SHOULD start together. We knew both are technical players in Juve rank and they sync nicely
the fans should be a little bit more patient
as for the talk of Inter yada yada. I didn't worry one bit about em. Its not the first time they kinda have a good start in the league, heck, where do u think their nickname of "winter champions" came from?
not to discredit them or anything, but i got more faith in Juve instead
Sorry for the late reply bro.
Ramsey and Dybala have linked up well lately actually. Would love to see them together more. Unfortunately, against Inter, it seems Dybala is on the bench again with Sarri opting for Higuain to start instead.
I'm actually a bit worried against Inter, they've started really strongly, and we know they have a good coach behind them. Plus this is a top of the table clash which (despite) a minimal point gap, could turn things around very quickly. The season is still long but it's always harder to play catch up I suppose?
By the way, excellent game against Bayer despite them controlling possession.
Forza Juve!!! Got a few calls against us but overall a great game from Rocchi. Sensi being subbed off truly hurt the Merdas. Dam Martinez is really good. He’s only like what, 22?
Defense is shaky in this game but Woj did very good today.
Very unlucky for CR7 to hit the woodwork and slight offside from La Joya. Pure striker instinct by Pipita and great assist from Benta.

bolded part. Its tactical genius by Sarri. Saying that Higuain will start and *boom*, he started Dybala, and the lad scored some brilliant goal too
and the 2nd bolded part, i'd say b4 that bundesliga clubs usually playing a possession football, so Juve definitely approach this match with a game plan. Leverkusen with 54% ball possession not looking dangerous the entire match, and with 0 shots on goal too. Juve with smaller ball possession percentage created numerous dangerous chances, and we could end the match with 6-0 if Ronaldo being a little clinical upfront

Spot on subs by Sarri.
Fun fact: all the goal scorers were Argentinians.
Forza Juve indeed!!
Higuain : Silencing San Siro since 2016
and hopefully some of our fans would be a little bit patient and not insulting the likes of Khedira, Matuidi, Higuain after every matches
i said it b4 and gonna said it again, this team will get better and better with each matches going.

He had me fooled man, did not expect Dybala to play and to top it off the scored! Hope this is a good morale booster for him and Higuain who have been somewhat through the wringer this summer with transfer news etc.
Italy has qualify to Euro 2020 with 3 matches to spare, their fastest record in qualifying tournament
i think missing the 2018 WC last year just made some point to prove for the Azurri
congrats to Mancio and the boys
Normally, I don't really watch the qualifying rounds but because our boy Bernie scored, I had to watch the highlights. I hope it is a morale boost for him as it seems he's been getting a lot of flack for his performances with Juve.
Somehow, I still think the latest Azzurri teams are missing the magic or chemistry from the Tournoi de France '97, Euro 2000 and World Cup 2006 teams.
Especially that Tournoi de France '97 team; if they played in the '98 World Cup like they did in the Tournoi De France, I think the WC '98 would've been a different story.
Mancini aims to win Euro 2020, and I think he's not going to settle for second place.

The Azzurri third kit is mighty fine!
after those injuries Berni seems to lost some of his pace/speed, the vital part for being an attacking winger/flanker. Hence why even Sarri said right now he's more suited to trequartista position
as for Italy, if i remembered correctly, that Italian team kicking ass in 2006 tournament was quite a surprise. Prior to that they've kinda average but ok qualifying rounds in such a relatively "easy" group alongside Norway, Scotland, Belarus, Slovenia, Moldova.
i dare to say that teams looked nothing "special' & "outstanding" until the ultimate showdown with Germany in the semis
i think that's quite a good trait bcoz when Italy are looking "good" prior to the tournament, they failed to deliver (2008, 2010, 2014)
this current Italy team under Mancio looks similar like 2006 team. Low profile but kicking ass at the same time
i know its just against Liechtenstein..but its refreshing seeing Italy scoring more goals even against minor opponent. Bcoz even against this kinda team Italy usually just settled for 1-0 or 2-0 win. And Berna is on the score-sheet again. El Pharoah looks like to be regaining his old form

Good to see Bernie on the scoresheet again. Will this perhaps be a resurgent Bernie we are seeing? I certainly hope so as we need everyone firing on all cylinders if we are to shake off challenges from our closest rivals.
Should be good tonight, but man oh man the 2:45am kick-off!
