IF we go trough I swear I hope we don't end up against you... I am more afraid from Arsenal than any other team in EU

Oh wow Conte is back, I forgot but you have just englightned me

Antonio Conte the deep lying manager dictating play from the bench

The Franchise wrote:I feel the flaws are, like we saw against Fiorentina...if there is a lack of imagination in the final third then you will force the wingbacks to overcommit to the attack and once they do that there will be space to exploit.

Juve to a good job not overcommiting them and add on some decent pressure and high line, but a few times it was broke in the first half and caused some problems.

Just like the 352, the same problems exist.

Agreed, a couple times Lichtsteiner made a long run up the right side and then was out of position
Also, Chiellini made a mess of things and played a poor pass near Chelsea's area which was broken up and led to a quick counter (Chiellini was fortunate to make it back but still)

Thank God Juve won. Can't wait for Conte to be back

But you are of Asian origin?

Nope i do not originate from Asia.

Okay, my bad. But you should stop the stereotyping. It is really idiotic to make comments like that and you are a good poster otherwise and it just does not suit you.

We've got no one to blame but ourselves. Juventus played very well today and deserved the win.

I hope we pull off a miracle and go through somehow

Was only a matter of time before Chelsea got their asses handed to them.

As for my prediction please ignore that as it was only a fun prediction, I only said Juve would be knocked out nonetheless because Chelsea would destroy Nordsjaelland at the Bridge while Juventus would lose to Shaktar at the mighty Don Bass. If anyone remembers I said Juventus would probably win vs Chelsea in the Juve Arena but the Don Bass fixture would be their downfall. Mostly because their last match is their most difficult while Chelsea's will be their easiest.

Lol Arq you seriously make it sound as though we have to face Barcelona away or something in our last game.

No disrespect to Shakthar they are a top team and very intimidating at home but i do believe after this result we achieved yesterday this will spur the team on to achieve the result which we need to progress maybe even better who knows.Confidence in the Juventus camp would be sky high atm.

I believe we are capable of securing a draw at the very least in our last game which should be enough to progress although i hope we have this mindset of winning the game come next CL matchday.Its in our hands totally now and if we somehow manage to lose that game i would say our team would've choked badly cuz i realy think given the performance such as yesterday against the defending CL champions one would fancy Juventus to progress tbh.Fingers crossed either ways.

Nope..IIRC he will back on the 9th against Palermo whilst the Shakthar game is on 5th.It would be Alessio again for that game.

Surag is right, Conte won't be on the bench against Shakhtar

And RDM won't be on the bench against Nord...something!

Mark Hughes outlasted RDM!!!! thats something i never thot possible this season
On topic, i actually hope Juve get to face Madrid in the Round of 16. I still havent forgotten the semis in 2003 We never got a chance to pay you back
Also Alonso vs Pirlo - battle of the Beards

Surag, you must understand what from my perspective first. I would say close to the same thing even if Real Madrid or Barca visited them in the final day in the same situation. At the moment there is not a club when in their own Stadium that I do above Shaktar Donesk. Normally they are a fearsome team yet at the Don Bass they are a completely different beast. Not only the stadium is intimidating yet Shaktar play with a far more augmented style of football given their confidence of their newly built fortress.

The other reason is that Juventus still lack European experience. Yesterday's routing of Chelsea was a result of their (and Conte's brilliance) yet when they enter the Don Bass for the first time under the pressure of knowing the circumstances of losing, unless there was Conte on the bench (which would have been MASSIVE) I predict the squad's mentality being a little less strong then what it usually is. It'll be a completely new experience to them. If Juve do prevail it wouldn't surprise me given their excellent method of pre game preparation and excellence in nearly every player. But this game will come down to mentality.

Shaktar will go through with a draw.

Many of the Juve players have been to a Euro or World Cup final. Some of them played against Germany in Germany in a World Cup semifinal, nothing is more intimidating than that.

So, there will be no pressure on Juve. Read that on a blog this morning.

Chelsea looked so sh1t and toothless. Deserved loss.
