it's quite normal for top teams not to strengthen Juve. Just like when they rather cheer for RM in UCL final. hence most of purchases are at release clause if from serie A.
only on some freak circumstances or wrong judgement, they will let go for free or nomimal fee, Cannavaro, Pirlo, latest one Bonucci.

i remember once Milan loaned their keeper Abbiati as Buffon was injured during a friendly with Milan.

I believed juve held on to sturaro due to his young age, hoping that he could grow further or developed into some other role as he aged on, however that seems not the case. I agree he should be the first one out, probably try his trade in low/middle team.

btw marco pjaca is being loaned out to schalke04, hopefully he can develop more there

I think it's quite obvious now it's 2 horse race between Juve & Napoli. Napoli really want SerieA title that they dropped European football & Coppa. They don't have depth, so if one/two core players injured they will suffer. Still they have like 30-40% chance winning.

Roma I think played smartly. They realized there is a lot of money in UCL, even when they just make to final 8. I think they could beat shaktar and go to final 8.

Juve chances of doing double again is 70-80%. VS spurs will be very critical and I really hope juve do not repeat the same mistake vs Bayern.It always should be fino alla fine !!!

I think there is no point for him to move either, he might just injured elsewhere
Marchisio should just stay and do his best when called. He should be prepared for big games, as he is probably the only midfielder who can cope in big games.

can't wait for the Spurs game. Juve is going there with good form. hope we can have clean sheet with 2 or 3 goals margin!

sleep around 9pm and you'll feel fresh at 3.30

I think perhaps the 2 goal lead suddenly give Spurs the freedom and urge to play high in Juve area. 2 goals down, what there's nothing to loose, just play as high as possible.

somehow juve's midfielders are exposed, with almost no midfield really going after the ball and just soaking the pressure. soaking the pressure was only good for one occasion, that was leading to the 2nd penalty. otherwise juve looks 2nd best in every department.

juve passing stats was horrible, it's like 400 spurs vs 100 juve, and most of spurs pass are being done in Juve area!

I think max need to switch to 3-5-1-2 on 2nd leg. the game is to win in midfield and don't let spurs control the ball, otherwise it will be end of UCL journey this year

yeah the lob was real scary. you might not notice that is buffon natural position when juve is attacking. if you watch this match in the stadium you will notice it.
vs spurs he tried to charge for 1-1 but he lost to kane, no shame there.

anyway it's a good game. atalanta played good football. they should be at least in europa next season. but we have own some of their best players so they might suffer next year

last gasp goal by the jewel and nepali lost 2-4 ... couldn't be sweeter.

I'm not sure if lazio have good squad or juve played really bad in the middle of the park. but if 3-5-2 vs spurs we may have fighting chance.

I was under impression Juve will be lauk/bash again when Max fielded 4-3-3 with Barzagli on the right-back. That's suicidal. Son/Eriksen/Alli will breeze past him easily.

Boy I was very very wrong. Barzagli expertly marshalled his area, doing last distch tackles, clearing balls off the line and litterally throwing himself to block shots. It was his form (plus Chiellini) that Max was confident to withdraw Benatia & Matuidi, and send on more attacking Linchteiner/Asamoah.

So, today old guards BBC triumphant, might be their last season. Future UCL games this season are not to be missed.

Max also mock Spurs when he send in Sturaro. Conte/Lippi would send in Rugani to secure the result. But he might give Juve 3rd goal, unfortunately Sturaro sent in weak shot when no Spurs players bother to mark him
