Wonder what strange excuse he will find this time for his failure.


I've been saying that he's a super bad coach since the end of his first season in Juve. I've been a Juve fan since 2002 and he's by far the worst coach we've had over the past 18 years. Even geezers like Zaceronni had more sense.


That's a bit unfair. He won 2012 scudetto as the outsider against a stronger team like that Milan.
Ferrara has been the worst Juve coach over the last decades.


He wasn't an outsider though, Juve improved their squad quite a bit and were bookies' favourites. It would have been an underachievement if he hadn't won that season. The other teams also got worse that summer.

That's not true, my friend. I live in Italy and in 11/12 Juventus was an outsider, AC Milan and Inter were bookies' favourites, almost nobody believed Juventus could beat them but at the end they won the league title.
The other teams got worse during the 2012 summer.

PSG or Barcelona coach to be fired after the second match :-)

Chelsea to be knocked out
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

I hope it will be Koeman.
I don't see any progress in Barca's game.
And when i compare it to Tuchel's team, I see a much more developed team which want to win as a whole. Furthemore, I can really imagine that Paris will reach the finals like last year. Especially Neymar gives me the impression that he now integrated in this squad. But i only follow their games in the CL, not the Ligue 1-games. :lol:

Liverpool is certainly looking like the better team so far.

But only god knows what Kabak is going to do in the remaining minutes of the game.

Been saying this for a while now.

Let Messi leave and try to build a younger squad.

Game can be summer up by future ballon d‘or winning ninja turtle beats former ballon d‘or winner.

Mbappe is really a joy to watch.

Lets be honest. Messi‘s time is over at the very top level. Not as impactful on the offense anymore and no defensive contribution whatsoever. You are not going to win much in UCL knockout stage with him as your key figure anymore.
