Hopefully we can grab a win, or at least a draw. After this match Juve will have a head to head with Real Madrid, while we play two with Copenhagen. A point in the this game could be vital but I still want all 3, however difficult it may seem.

not expecting a result from here to be honest. the 6-1 was bad but now after all this other drama i dont think our players are motivated enough. i hope im wrong though and we can at least get a point out of this tie. will mancini be there on the sidelines? i just wanna say if he is then i hope nobody blames the loss (should we lose or play horribly) on him, but knowing these inbred turks everybody will probably be calling for his head after the juve game lol. give him at least a few weeks to get settled in

If we want to still have a chance of qualifying, we must get at least a point from this match.

Tevez is doubtful, but could still be fit. Otherwise we have a more-or-less full strength squad.

I'd be happy if Mancini just parked the bus, grabbed a point and then tried to get 6pts vs Kopenhagen.

Im sorry to be the one having to write this, but no matter how much belief and hope i want to have in my team, we are going to lose this match, unfortunately.
The Juve we are playing are in good shape, with an established team and mr conte as there manager whom i respect allot.
They have won 5 out of the 6 games in their league and only drawn 1.

Well, mancini as many of you know is usually defensive, so i dont expect us to have that all out attacking fire, which we had against madrid, which teams like madrid and juve (who are 2 of the best counter attacking teams in the world) will take advantage of.

It also helps however if luck is also on your side, as had we have scored a goal or 2 in the first 20 minutes against madrid, i dont think the match would of result in such a hefty defeat.

So true, but it seems that YD and his corrupt federation have taken it upon themselves to make Fener champions this year. How convenient that they go after GS's coach just as we are going for our third straight championships. Referees are also shameful in their favoritism. Oh well, we'll see how they do in CL next year :howler:

This could end pretty badly for us. Mancini prioritizes defense over anything else and defending is the one thing our team can't do properly. That will not change in 1-2 days. I will not blame Mancini for a bad result but if we do get a good result it will all be thanks to him.

If we can get a draw out of this I will celebrate like crazy.

Juve screwed up in Copenhagen and got very lucky wins against Verona and Torino in the league. Generally, I would say Juventus are superior in most respects, but Tevez's possible absence and uncharacteristic defensive blunders from Chiellini and Buffon can change a lot in Galatasaray's favor. September-October is definitely not the best period for Juventus in general - last season we got only three points from the first three games in the CL, but then the team picked up and got three victories in a row scoring 8 and conceding 0.

Juve is a good team guys. No ways to go about it and they are more organized than RM at this point. I don't think this will be a blow out or anything but a tie is a very good result. They will be firing with all cylinders since they lost two points in Copenhagen. And being the Italian's (Mancini's) first game adds another interesting element to the match.

One of my memories from a few years back is watching Galatasaray-juve and you guys scored a late equalizer, I vaguely recall watching it on star (think that was the name of the channel)

A vid would be appreciated. :)
