Trust Milan to play their best game against us.

 

Disjointed first half.. but Sarri made very early changes in the second half...Ronaldo has been poor for a few games and I suspect there may be an injury there...Dybala came on for him and not long after Costa came on..this made all the difference..much better lively link up play leading to a gorgeous finish from Dybala.

 

Matuidi hurt himself and Rabiot came on..very good from his as well.

 

De Ligt was outstanding..probably his best game in a Juve shirt and Tek was incredible in goal.

 

Side note, was telling my son I miss Chiellini's celebrations when good saves are made and crucial defending and not long after that De Ligt celebrated a great save from Tek...[emoji173]

 

 

We have had a difficult month it hasn't been easy and sometimes really ugly but it hasn't cost us..so that is a good thing.

Pep looking agitated AF, some silly responses to general Q's.

Easy peasy.. Bosnia made a good go of it in the fist 20min, we had to soak up some pressure.. but in general contolled the game

 

10 from 10 (9 in qualifiers)

 

Only issue is Pjanic going down with some muscle injury..first person with him to see how he is was his Juve teammate Bonucci..really hope that it isn't serious..he is instrumental for Juve...

 

 

Back to Italy..the youngster are doing well..thrilled to see Tonali get his first senior start... kid is good filled in just fine for Verratti who is injured

I can barely contain myself 4-0 up at half time.. yes this is the new Italy we score goals..

 

And really happy that Immibole is on target for Italy too..he has been incredible for Lazio glad he has now able to bring that to the National side..

 

And yes I harp on about Tonali, but damn there is that calmness about him..not only does his play remind everyone of Pirlo but his mannerisms as well..cool calm and just gets on with it.... Juve you know what to do EFT, e-wallet, first born or whatever it takes..we can't miss out on him like we did with Verratti.

Italy scoring freely these days, bodes well.

 

I am watching the Ireland Denmark game...not really exciting thus far.

Its just all too beautiful.

 

There are apparently players under the age of 23 in the squad for these 2 games, 9!!! (Obviously not all 9 on the field at the same time..but this is great, this group at the next world cup should be something special.. yes I know there are Euro's first but it looks really good for the future.

 

Of.course since last season, we all have been paying very close attention to Zaniolo

.and once again he has been really really good.

With a hop, skip and a jump Jorginho makes it 7...he just doesn't miss penalties.

 

But wait there is more.. Orsolini makes it 8..

 

Oh no, we've conceded..but what a goal that was..wow.

 

Aaaw and Chiesa gets his first goal for Italy..

 

 

And it ends 9-1.. lovely stuff.

 

We have scored 37 goals in the 10 qualifiers and conceded 4.

 

Yes the real test will come against stronger opposition..but they have built a good foundation on which to build on...and that makes me happy. We are playing with purpose with identity..

The Ireland Denmark games was a boring affair until the 72nd minutes. When suddenly it came alive.

 

Euro 2020 is eagerly anticipated

[ScottCM]

Hope Scotland qualify through the Uefa Nations League playoff which they will be playing at home.

News just in is that Spurs and Potchettino have parted ways... Thanks for all Potch has done at the club

[IceCreamMan]

Did not see that coming. Was reading an article on train today saying he had full support. He is going to get 12 million pounds for being fired.

[babse]

Booom... Big, brave move!

 

Potch has done a superb job in his time but after a tough start to the season he has been given the chop... Unlucky!

[babse]

Already José and Anccelotti named favorites for the permanent job

[babse]

Maybe Potch to take over the wheel at united?

[IceCreamMan]

I think Poch will go to Spain
