Just saw the highlight, Juve has many good chances but did not kill the game. Next game at home to Barca a must win to qualify..forza juve. Max must start one of costa or berna ahead zukic. Zukic should be kept as backup for pipita. Last year zukic was used as AML because of Praja injury. If pipita plays as ST in every match then he will be burnt out by end of the season.

Our defence it's bit shaky this year and that's for me it's the likely culprit.
Bonucci has left, the remaining BBC have grown older, Linc is not as reliable in RB and Asamoah also had faltered , the only reliable member of defence for me is Rugani & Alex Sandro. Our attack has no issue. Spurs able to beat Madrid because their defence is as good as their attack during the match.

In Serie A this season Juve have conceded and scored more goals compared to last early season stats.

as log as juve keep winning all the rival will be silent

Dani "Parasite" Alves is not even deserved to be discussed here, he came to Juve simply to win and add to his collection of trophies and not for any passion for the club. He + Zlatan should join Malaysian league next to add to their trophies both of them for me is the "machinery" of the game.

Now back to the Benevento game, again we showed lacked of killer instinct as well as to much respect to the opponent - the same showed against Lazio and Sporting. Pipita & La Joya should have been rested, Berna + Bentacur should have started the game. Il Principino & Matuidi have similar game so they did not complement each other very well - Il Principino looks not fully fit yet. I still feel we need a young/dynamic CB & RB. Alternatively it would good for Cuordado to start at RB & Berna to start at right wing.
The game yesterday show how Alegri was furious with all the small mistake juve made - if this against a batter site we should have been punished. Last season Juve start fast and slows down, this season the other way round.

Barca in "full" mode will easily teach us a tough home lesson, a back three is Juve's best way to neutralise barca, our wing back (sandro & cuard) crosses will cause barca issue as their defence has weak ariel ability...if we play back four then we're inviting danger

I have no words for the result

Our defence is getting older and not resilient as previous years. RB position do not have any capable player, defending is slow and predicted. JUVE must switch to back 3 formation of 3-4-3 which gives more solidity. In Jan sell Linch, Stuararo, Asamoah then by 1 quality CB (Giminez/Stefan de Vrij) then remain with back 3. Khedira should not be starter as he tires fast - 2 goals yesterday was because he never close down, and Manzu must start from bench. Costa is improving a lot and should start more often.

I still feel the back three is the best solution for the team now...with this formation the 3CB only need to worry about the defence, the current formation each time the wing backs attacks the 2CB is often exposed to counter attacks since the CM's are not covering.

Back 3 is the way forward with 3-4-3, the formation against Barca worked well as it was an even macth, so against Cratone should the same as preparation for Napoli.
