still monitoring

yeah, USAgoals is much better alternative. if you are lucky you'll get english speaking ESPN-HD.

good game vs napoli, just that i think vs inter was better overall. i realized we did not do much build up compared to other league games. buffon opt to kick the ball up field instead of passing to chiello or bonucci. i agree juve some times need to train playing off the ball rather than conquer games with high possession but lack in finishing. just last night we can see how much our strikers strength when they aren't given much chances to convert

I think pirlo should rest and Pogba/Pareyra/Marchisio in midfield

The fact that falcao failed to impress in PL scares me, unless he came on loan first. Gervinho is doing fine at Roma, maybe he can do the same for us.

Good game vs HV. Next opponent is Parma, but they will go all out since they might be relegated from SerieA. Hopefully we can give another thrashing

Morata or Llorente? Simple, if we have good wingbacks with crosses, it's Llorente. If we want to build up plays, it's Morata. So really depends on squad available to the manager.

yeah chievo match was bad considering not may build up plays were successful. chievo actually defended well, and gave scare when one shot hit the bar with buffon beaten.

pogba was immense and hold up well. if he played under arsenal, arsene wenger may do another thiery henry. if we do have another solid midfielder, pogba should operate behind the striker as no 10. I know he conte did it before, but now he should get another shot

I really want us to meet Roma and shut their mouth up
Anyway they are in form team, and it's good exposure for our 2nd string players ... hehehe

Anyone going?

I would not say it's average outing. Cesena played fantastic one touch footbal, and somehow juve found it hard to play on the pitch.

there were too many mistakes in first 25mins, if not for Buffon, Juve might be gone two/three down.

I think Pobga was not fully fit, he was like missing, and it's was only up to Pirlo to do the plays

by not venturing too high up as long as Chiello contain his area well, I don't think any issue with Evra. He is currently the best replacement for Asamoah.
But based on Atalanta game, Ceceres should get the place on the right.

what a gift by Chiello, but that sort of mistake is rare for him. it could happen to anyone. anyway good goals by juve. too bad finishing was off a bit, but at least we have 1 goal cushion

I think yes, matri should replace Gio

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.

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

midweek game seldom full house

What an assists by Marchisio for the goal!

However the attack was not solid. I think Llorente lost confidence already. Good to have Barzagli back!

What a match! Actually we started 4-1-3-2 before switching 3-5-2 and brought huge impact. of course that was due to Tevez early goal and Pogba substitution. Not so many scare moments, except some Pepe backpass and Buffon also rarely tested.

overall good outing!

The draw is good. One level at a time.

Pogba out for 50 days, thats even worse. Lets hope Pirlo quickly return to fitness. We just could not afford to loose any more midfields

very bad news indeed. i hope pogba and pirlo are not unnecessarily rushed into action. time for sturaro to shine and pareyra to polish his game

getting the 2 titles only means we will receive just the price money for the titles won. so there are loss revenues from matchdays and tv rights. since we did played in Serie B and eventually won it, there is already prize for that as well together with promotion bonus etc.

really it's hard to calculate how much we had lot monetarily since there is a lot to factor in. to me FIGC should take Juve 10yr revenue average and pay to juve for 1 year in serie b, with the prize money for the 2 titles.
we did good first year back in serie A, I think we were 2nd, but subsequently with bad player purchases and coaches we were doomed and figc has nothing to do with that
