Allegri has puzzled me many times this season. Can't explain this sub

And how Dybala isn't in every game he's fit for baffles me to no end; that kid is such an incredible talent. Won't be shocked at al if he has the greatest career of all the current Juventus players (Pogba and Buffon included) when all is said and done.

Buffon? I would be shocked

That was probably too much; but I'm expecting Dybala and Correa to pick up Messi and Aguero's mantle as Argentina's next talismanic forwards. And I think they'll both reach and surpass Aguero's level, even if Messi's level is out of reach; and it's tough to compare a GK to a healthy-Aguero so I can see Dybala's career being rated more highly than even Buffon's, at least by some folks...though this would be a surprise. But I'm just extremely high on both Dybala and Correa.

I like Pereyra, but Cuadrado was not a player who should have come off.

Italy needs to have an 80s renaissance regarding player's hairstyles.

Allegri must be trolling

Allegri is killing me. Might as well recall Padoin and put him in next

i agree the sky is the limit for the kid but he's no Felipe Melo if you know what I mean

Juve have controlled the midfield much better since Pereyra came on, but it should've been for Mario or Morata that came off, not one of their only wide players.

Pogba. Lol. Tha ****?

lol Xhaka just couldn't not get a card in this one. That's a true captain there, making Alvaro feel better about his yellow...

Zaza

I'll be very curious to see what Zaza's cut is when it is revealed that Allegri has been match fixing.

Hey look, Juve's only remaining wide player lead to a real look at goal for Pogba...

We're the real losers having watched this game.

Bmg may as well score because a tie will feel like a loss anyway

This game is pretty terrible so far. I hope something's gonna happen in the last 10 minutes :lol:

The first 50-55 minutes weren't bad, but then BMG started running out of steam and Pereyra's introduction let Juve take over the middle while removing their biggest wide threat to open some space for that midfield control to lead to some real chances.
