First they took Marotta, then Conte. Now they'll try with Allegri. Once they fail with Max too, they can sell the club to the Agnelli family and their wish to become Juve will be granted. They can be called Juventus U23 and proudly represent our colors in serie C. In the last rounds of serie A...

If we exclude the matches between the top 4 teams and we only count their matches against the other 16 teams, the serie A table would look like this: Inter 72 [0 ponts vs Juve; 1 pt vs Atalanta; 3 pts vs Lazio]] Juve 70 [6 pts vs Inter; 4 pts vs Atalanta; 3 pts vs Lazio] Atalanta 69 [1 pt vs...

Here is the same for the attackers, wingers, fullbacks and central defenders 2019/20 --- 61 goals + 25 assists in 48 matches (Ronaldo, Dybala, Higuain) 2018/19 --- 55 goals + 20 assists in 51 matches (Ronaldo, Dybala, Mandzukic, Kean) 2017/18 --- 59 goals + 16 assists in 54 matches (Higuain...

Yeah, our midfield is doing worse and worse every year. Check it out for all competitions since 2011 (midfielders are presented by minutes played in that particular season): 2019/20 --- 10 goals + 16 assists in 48 matches (Pjanic, Bentancur, Matuidi, Rabiot, Ramsey, Khedira, Can) 2018/19 --- 15...

No, Sarri did that himself when he spanked Conte's ass twice this season. He spanked Simeone's ass too. Guardiola's next. Then Flick. And then we lose the final to Leipzig or smthg.

They are kind of doing it right now. They made it to top 4 in 3 of the last 4 years, which is worse than Juve (only), and the same as Napoli and Inter. They changed the team quite a lot from 2016-17, when they made top 4, and they're doing even better now. They got good money from Kulusevski and...

At least Conte managed to improve them and take them to 4th place, right behind Atalanta, which is better than last year, when they finished 4th, right behind Atalanta.

I think that he didn't add 3 minutes to the 7 minutes, but with 1 minute to go from the added time, he said that there are 3 more minutes to play, which meant a total of 9 minutes.

Without Covid, with Covid Without VAR, with VAR With ref help, without ref help Without Allegri, with Allegri With Conte, without Conte Without Sarri, with Sarri They tried everything, we still beat them all.

And let's have in mind that if it comes between us and Lazio in the last round and we need to beat Roma for the scudetto, the Romans would gladly do the "Oh NOOO". They've been waiting since 2010 for a payback.

Milan came out very well prepared physically after the long break. They, and Atalanta, will be our toughest matches. We'll destroy Lazio.

Knowing how Italy works, I hope for a tiny headline. If we start moaning and if pressure is put on the ref, the instinct of the refs will be to compensate by making a terrible call against Lazio or a very bad call in our favor. Unlike the dive from tonight, those calls will end up in huge...

I know. Definitely not a penalty tonight. Mistakes can happen, even with VAR. If we see this happening again and again, then we can start worrying. Tonight, Lazio were lucky with that call.

It's the same for us too. We won 10 penalties so far this season, with 10 rounds to go. In the last two seasons with VAR we had 8 after 38 rounds. In 2016/17 we had only 3. In 15/16 and 14/15 we had 9. And it's not like we're playing some kick ass attacking football. It's mostly the new handball...

This year there were more PKs in serie A in general, I would guess (?). There were so many penalties with the new handball rule. Then add VAR for other things and I believe breaking penalty records is becoming easier compared to the pre-VAR period, or even to the first two seasons of VAR.

Even with VAR, referees can make a bad decision here and there. The ref probably didn't see that Caicedo dived, he saw the contact and he probably decided to ask the VAR only to confirm if there was contact, nothing else. Ideally, the VAR would have told him there was a dive before the contact...

Possibly. But if the season continues in April and we're still in CL, while having to play more frequently in Serie A, we will also face problems. Imo, they should wait with the decision until April. If the situation is still bad, then not assigning the scudetto is correct, as unfair as it is...

But how do we do the play-offs? With 3 teams? With 4 teams? Do they all play each other or there are draws for a semifinal. Can Atalanta win the scudetto by beating teams on penalties, despite being 15 points behind Juve with 12-13 rounds to go?

There is a way to do it with play-offs, but if they take the played matches into consideration. For example, we played Inter twice (6 points), Lazio once (0 points) and Atalanta once (3 points) Inter played Lazio twice (3 points), Atalanta once (1 point) and Juve twice (0 points) Lazio played...

Yup. After all, they are fighting for survival. Even more, their direct rival in the survival race is the city rival Sampdoria.
