No Havertz , no Lukaku , no Mount , no Christensen , no Werner , no Azpilicueta , no Kante , no Jorginho . No problem 4:0 . all but Rom and AC played though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably saving Alonso for United if Chilwell can't make it. Just wondering. He looked like he was ready to come on but didn't. Thought Tuchel would want to shake off the rust on Alonso given he hasn't played in a while. Tuchel better not go play Azpi at LWB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,250 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 this was Juve's only other 4 goal defeat in Europe (it came in the UEFA Cup) Celta Vigo 4-0 Juventus – 2000 Juventus’ great team from the mid-1990s that had reached three successive Champions League finals had started to break up, and the early part of the new millennium was a transitional phase. Never was this more evident than during the UEFA Cup fourth round tie with Celta Vigo in 2000. Despite winning the first leg in Turin, coach Carlo Ancelotti saw his team unceremoniously crushed 4-0 in the return in Spain. French legend Claude Makelele got the ball rolling with the first after just 27 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alonso is gonna play vs Manure so TT did not want both left backs to walk into the scythe. Also not 100% first place is better. we avoid Bayern who showing signs of weakness while we could get PSG who i guess will finally click in spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAM09 7,067 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 You could use a number of superlatives to describe that performance. Almost perfect & that was without three of our main attackers. We are playing some of the best football I've seen at the club in my lifetime, with everyone chipping in, especially upfront. Top spot in our hands now.

As you probably know, I am one of Alonso's biggest supporters on here. However, there is not a situation where I see him starting against Sancho/Rashford and it coming out well defensively. In my opinion, start Dave get control of the game and look to bring him on after 60+ mins depending on what is required. Seriously, Utd have been crap but it would just like them to put in a sh*thouse performance against us (especially with Taylor as ref) and bang us on the counter.

Alonso made a stupid mistake just before the goal we conceded and got breezed past multiple times. maybe we could play CHO as left wing back. Has a decent left foot and bags of energy. Seems like the best solution to me of chilly really is out atm shame Saul is a dud. He was brought exactly for that situation and has played last 2 years as lwb for tletli The Skipper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
