Tott will look to that tactic soonJuventus already playing 9 behind the ball and flopping around like fish out of water.
10 now. 160 minutes more of it to come.Juventus already playing 9 behind the ball and flopping around like fish out of water.
No.Did Kane get a yellow for that flop? They never said anything during the recap.
I think it looks worse from the opposite side than it does the TV one. From there even though he doesn't see the player it looks like he should have if he was being a good defender (if that makes sense).I see Ben Davies getting torn to shreds on twitter, but have watched the play a dozen times and don't understand why its such a stone-cold penalty on the 2-0. Is he not allowed to make a play for this ball? It seems to me the Juve player runs into Davies.

Wrong-footed BuffonDoes anyone have a good clip of the Eriksen FK? Something didn't seem right on the replay on my phone. Did it take a deflection? I also didn't understand the Juve wall or lack of wall.
I wonder why keepers often cheat towards the wall and away from the post they are supposed to cover. I also found it odd that the wall was set up to take away the far post. Usually it is set up to take away the near post, or is that just my impression?Buffon was expecting Eriksen to go far post, Eriksen tripped him up by going near post low.
The early fall in the penalty box wasn’t a flop. Was there another?Did Kane get a yellow for that flop? They never said anything during the recap.
There were only two yellows for Spurs, at least according to the boxscore on bbc - one each for Aurier and Davies.The early fall in the penalty box wasn’t a flop. Was there another?

I'm not sure what the context is for this post but I thought Verratti and Rabiot gave Modric and Kroos all they could handle yesterday. It was the first time I'd watched Rabiot for a while and I was really impressed -- he was a like a souped-up and smoother Matic. What a fun game to watch. Asensio.Modric may not be the best DM
It was more a comment on the first half (I didn't see the 2nd). He was pinching in in front of the back 4 and just seemed poor tactically the entire time tracking runners (he let Rabiot run free on the goal). I know it ultimately worked out for them and that they don't really have a different option, but PSG was able to get them out of shape fairly easily.I'm not sure what the context is for this post but I thought Verratti and Rabiot gave Modric and Kroos all they could handle yesterday.

That late third goal -- really, Marcelo is the best fullback in the world (even better than Cedric!) and it's not even close -- may have been the back breaker for PSG. Still, they win it at 2-0 in Paris, no?
