Juve is currently under investigation for how they've been handling its finances over the last few years. Lots of under the table dealing with the Ronaldo transfer etc.

That would make the derby the next match in the league...

The Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal matches might get moved too because of the funeral

Is Nagelsmann on the hot seat vtotheinay ?

Given the league form, Lewa's return this week is gonna be that much bigger and more important.

Can see there being a lot of noise surrounding his job security if Barca come in and get a W...

yeah 100%. if we lose tomorrow against barca and struggle in the league match this weekend things are gonna get really hot for him. tuchel becoming available didn't help his case either especially since we have the players for his favorite 4-2-2-2 and 3-5-2 formations. gonna be a very interesting next few weeks cause nagelsmann is doing way too much tinkering when we had a system that was already working

You don't think it's a bit of an overreaction?
Y'all are still undefeated. Or have y'all looked that bad?
Y'all just lost your best player and Mane is nowhere near the striker Lewa is.
Seems harsh imo.

it's the same problems as last year though. honestly just think he's too young to handle a squad of this level. he's only 35 years old and has managed underdogs only prior to this. he keeps changing systems every match and guys can't find their rhythm. he had a system with the 4-2-2-2 that was working well then all of sudden changed it cause we drew to gladbach when they made a record 19 saves. since then we've looked pretty poor

 

[d3si]

Ouch

 

[tomdiginson]

This Roma team lacks composure. Manuel Lorenzo Pellegrini can't buy a goal. This 2-1 lead that they have seems very shakey.

 

[tomdiginson]

Dybala is their talisman of a player. Smart by Moreno for going after him.
