Very good half from us, pure silk . Really belong at thus level comfortably, our run under Redknapp felt a little more underdogs fueled by excitement & bale. But this time we look like a real top side

Stone wall pen aside they've haven't had a sniff , but they should be down to 10 and their defenders shouldve had a pen against him for handball, so whatever.

Couple of dives by our players that should really anger the scouse which makes it even better

Reckon Chiellini's was a pen, when it initially hit his hand it wasn't but after that he very craftly kept his arm trying to direct ball, although ref was never going to give it.
Obviously Vertonghen dodged a bullet but I'll take that the amount of pen decisions that go against us.
Definite red card offense missed, Juventus have been dirty ****s all match.

Surprised at how muted Juve have been.

They looked scared of our attack from the off and continued that way.

In our hands now.

Keep up the tempo and intensity and no silly errors for 45mins.

I was thinking that but surely it reaches a point where we just do that to teams?

Juve in Turin, Liverpool, Dortmund and Madrid at Wembley. Afterwards everyone said how the other team didn't play well but what's the lowest common denominator?

I think we are just really fucking good and when we play how we can there's not really a team to be afraid of

Brilliant half. They’ve all worked hard.

Son and Big Dave have been outstanding.

Great ball by Tripps for the goal. A ball Aurier wouldn’t have made.

His passing, crossing and vision is on another metaphorical planet from Serge...although is he getting diving lessons from Dele?!

Big Dave is taking the piss in midfield again.

Gary, don't try and make a fucking gag out the Barzagli 'challenge' - it's pure filth and it deserves a straight red.

By the way, our press is absolutely killing them, and they look unprepared for it, which is just bonkers on their and Allegri's part.
Tbf I’m not sure it’s something they’d be as used to being an Italian side. We should be using it to our advantage

Oh and I've been on Sanchez's back recently but that's probably the best half I've seen from him.

We are getting praise and rightfully so, this is probably the first time I can honestly remember pundits praising us without saying how bad the other team has been.

Need to keep clean sheet for at 15 minutes cos this lot will tire in the second half they are not used to playing at this pace

Well we can always say Higuains first goal was offside in Turin. Everyone gets some luck.

But that ref is pretty useless

Lot of bodies between the incident and the ref. The official behind the touchline however.............:asshat:

Anyone know a good place to seek legal advice to sue William Hill for making me deaf, please?
