    Massimiliano Allegri

    We lack players with that dog mentality. We used to have that throughout the team, Tevez, Mandzukic upfront, Vidal, Marchisio in midfield or Lichsteiner/Chiellini in defense. Now we’re stuck with softies in all phases. The quality have regressed, but the mentality too which might be as...

    The NBA Thread

    The Magic team of the late 00s with Dwight, Jameer, Hedo and Rashard was a fun team too. One of the first teams alongside the Suns to put 4 shooters around the center. It's a shame Dwight didn't make the NBA Anniversary 75 list btw.

    Massimiliano Allegri

    I think we need to look at the bigger picture and not just game by game or compare this season to last. We've pretty much secured the CL spot with 4 games to go. We're finally in position to get rid of some heavy deadwood in the summer. We have a coach with a clear philosophy, whether it's...

    Dušan Vlahović

    Showed great determination and obviously doesn´t get enough service from our midfield. But as Allegri mentioned, Vlahovic needs to improve his first touch and just overall technically. He looks clumsy at times with the ball. And just an observation, when he comes at defenders 1v1 on the...

    [Serie A] Juventus - Inter [April 3rd, 2022]

    We lack concentration, and have done so for years. No matter how much we dominate big games you could put your house on a Juve player to f everything up giving away a stupid PK or get sent off. Yes the ref was poor but we didn´t execute. Plain and simple.

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Allegri is staying so that’s a pointless discussion. But he does deserve criticism for today. After we conceded the first, to take Locatelli out instead of moving him to regista and leave Arthur on for the full 90 was just bizarre. He was backpassing like we were 5-0 up all night, let alone...

    Adrien Rabiot

    Obviously Max rates him, but the guy stays injury free, hasn´t been unavailable since he caught Covid in October. I don´t think I´ve seen a Juve player manage to stay consistently healthy like Rabiot since prime Bonucci maybe.

    Russia - Ukraine Conflict 2022

    Media always said it was just a matter of time before the Russians would gain control of all the major cities, regardless of the L´s they´ve taken these first days. But is it even a possible scenario here that the whole invasion will fail, they just never succeed and call it quits?

    Russia - Ukraine Conflict 2022

    I do see your point that the US wouldn´t have liked having Russian or Chinese troops along their Canadian or Mexican borders. But I saw the recent CNN interview with the NATO secretary general. Ukraine actually applied for NATO membership back in 2008, he wouldn´t answer why they were never let...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    The gameplan IMO was correct given the players we have. Get the early goal and sit back and counter. We don't have the midfield to control games. Had Dybala played Vlahovic through that first chance and we get an early lead I think we win the game. The players just didn't execute, which is on...

    Dejan Kulusevski

    FI reported that it was both CL qualification and that he has to play 50% of their games. In other words if he flops from the get-go they can just bench him to avoid the obligation even though they get CL. He´s definitely coming back.

    Andrea "Il Bruco Brutto" Agnelli

    Do your research before you spill out next time. If the chairman of Exor doesn’t want AA there, he’s out.

    Andrea "Il Bruco Brutto" Agnelli

    Elkann is the real owner of Juve, Agnelli is just a puppet they sent to run it cause he doesn't have time to do it himself. If Exor want to they can remove Agnelli, will be interesting to hear their reaction to this mess. The brand Juve hasn't had this much negativity attached to it since...

    The Financial Situation

    I don’t think our main issue is the inflated player valuations which is widespread amongst the big clubs. As per Bloomberg, we’re also under investigation for faking invoices for transactions which never took place and knowingly made false statements to the investors. These are dangerous...

    [CL] Chelsea 4-0 Juventus [November 23rd, 2021]

    Agnelli should refund the supporters who travelled from Turin.

    Danilo

    Danilo offensively might be the most predictable RB since Grygera or something. Either he crosses even with a guy right in front, plays the 1-2 cause he can’t beat his man or back-passes. We lose so many dimensions to our attack versus having another technical fullback who can fill in for Cuads.

    Antonio Conte

    I don’t think Conte at Spurs will work. Their chairman is notoriously cheap. And this isn’t like his PL win season with Chelsea where Pep and Klopp were still adapting. Or last year with Inter were the clowns at Juve shot themselves in the foot gifting him a straight highway to the scudetto...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    We’ve had 3 coaches last 3 seasons. At some point you have to commit to a guy and give him what he wants. Ain’t no other top manager coming here. We’re top of our CL group and 4p behind a CL place. I already said in the summer this squad was nowhere near scudetto contention. People being...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Allegri needs some transfer windows before judging him. The clue here is signing players who the coach agrees suit his system. Bringing in random bums for the sake of it without consoling the coach or having a clear role dragged us to this point, not Allegri. I see Tici and his friend Levy...

    Alvaro Morata

    I've noticed with Morata everytime he receives the ball in a dangerous position he puts his head down immiedetly and doesn't raise it until he runs into the goalie or defender. Like he seems surprised he ran into something and then makes a rash decision. And all the unnecessary offsides which...
