I think yes, matri should replace Gio

Vidal with his unnecessary aggressiveness..maybe due to his frustration. He's lucky he only escape with one yellow

and after Pereyra come on Juve looks to be match against BVB in the middle..b4 that they got overrun after Reus equalizer.
The defense looks more solid with Marchisio playing on Pirlo spot.

and yes Matri, Sturaro & PDC all eligible to play in CL

feel great for Serie A as a whole

5 out of 5 team advance to last-16 of Europa League

hopefully Juve will follow suit in 3 weeks time

Its good to win. But we should not celebrate a 2-1 win. We could have had Chiello not slipped

Alot of top teams have kena thrashed by BVB in Dortmund. Real Madrid was eliminated despite winning 3-0 in MAdrid. Apart from this season FC Bayern was also repeatdly beaten in Dortmund as well. And dont mention Arsenal. They got a raping too from no tactics Wenger.

So 2-1 is really not good enough. IF they can get their game on, we might be 3-0 nil down by half time. This tie is far from over.

nobody ever said this tie is over...maybe some over-optimistic Juve fan/neutrals

but one thing i learned from the first game, if Juve can repeat the defensive performance like the 2nd half, they will go through. Bcoz in the first
leg, apart from the "gift" handed by Chiellini, BVB doesn't threaten Buffon the entire match

b4 the match most ppl said dat Juve will hold up the possession while BVB will hit em on the counter, but what happening during the game was
the exact opposite. Now Juve holding the lead they can afford to play a little defensive and trying to hit BVB fragile defense with a counter.
Well, as u said it, hopefully they wouldn't get their game mode on early. But if Juve can snatch an early away goal they'll definitely disrupt BVB rhythm

ya i think full marks for allegri. tactically he seems to be better in europe than conte. not to say conte is not good. but allegri has that extra little exp than him.

allgegri did also beat barcelona and arsenal. hope we can still progress. like u said if we can do something like in the second half then yes we can go through.

forza juventus against roma tonite.

a draw looks like a fair result but Juve should just go for the win after Roma down to 10

maybe they're thinking about Coppa Italia against Fiorentina this Tuesday and crucial UCL tie against Dortmund already

was fantastic first half by Juve & Roma. Since we don't have good anchor like Pirlo, Juve opt to do lots of counter attacks. Maybe the finishing was bit off but it was enjoyable first half.

2nd half was good until Tevez goal and suddenly all shifted to slower gear. maybe the team is thinking that roma will slow down since they are 1 man down.

hmmmph no wonder Juve last won this cup was back in 1995

i think its never a priority since then. But congratulation to Fiorentina and Salah in particular..that guy just literally ON FIYAH

surprisingly Pepe started

winning by 2-0 at Florence is not an impossible task..they've done better b4 that (5-0 back in 2012)

but don't put up hopes so high in Coppa Italia

Yup Even if enter final, the opponent Lazio or Napoli is not easy. But still hope can achieve double this year

Juve's possible double are probably the league and the coppa

but seeing how dat Juve are nearly one foot out from the Coppa..and i don't want to talk about CL either..not until they actually
get pass Dortmund atleast

yeah we won against sasuolo, now 11p lead. however i hope we wont be too complacent tho. i wish we will win a double epecially the 10th coppa italia title.

A lacklusture performance..but we'll take those 3pts anyday of the week.

Not to sound cocky but i think Juve already have one arm wrapped around the scudetto..bcoz they've 11pts lead + a better head-to-head record against Roma

Juve should definitely used their strongest lineup against Dortmund & Fiorentina

*and btw Lazio juz made Fiorentina looks like a 2nd rated team last night. They were just ran over and the scoreline eventhough its 4-0 i think its a little "nice" to Fiorentina

i went to our neighbor Roma's thread, kinda of agree with one of the fan there, Roma continuously getting draw results but yet remains in the 2nd place. it shows how not competitive league serie A is or what? i fear the quality of italian league and club will be underrated.

roma seems does not want to fight for scudetto and just want to defend 2nd place, while host Lazio, Fiorentina, Napoli and Samp now really fights for 3rd & last place for UCL. I really hope Roma loose steam towards the end of the season and drop to 4th/5th place, and let the deserving teams go to UCL.

what a goal by Pogba btw

I think maybe due the fact dat both Roma and Juve already using 'NOS' during the 1st half of the league while the other teams still stuck in 2nd/3rd gear. That's why earlier its looke like Roma having a bigger gap with the team on the 3rd place

But teams like Napoli, Lazio, Fiorentina already steeping up the gas since the turn of the year..while Roma keep on dropping pts. If they keep on drawing they should really be worried about the likes of Napoli and Lazio leapfrogging em for the 2nd place

and btw regarding the state of the league..after seeing all 5 Serie A teams advance to the last 16 of UEL..i wouldn't worry that much. Italian teams slowly proven dat they can be a real threat if they took that competition seriously..and hopefully Juve would be a threat to UCL too
