You cant deny that our general play since the turn of the new year hasnt been as impressive as the first four months (or so) of the season. Also, Conte went a bit stupid tactically (and in terms of subs) in the past month or two. The man is gonna be a fantastic coach one day, but he isnt exempt from criticism when he fucks up.
Attacking stats condemn Juventus
By Football Italia staff
Juventus’ fragility in attack has been underlined today by two sets of statistics in the Gazzetta dello Sport and La Stampa.
The Old Lady are struggling to score goals and the Gazzetta has made that perfectly clear on Wednesday morning.
According to the pink paper, Juventus have had 172 shots on target so far this season – the most in the Division – but have scored just 39 times. That’s a conversion rate of one goal every 4.4 shots.
La Stampa, meanwhile, highlights that leaders Milan have had 157 shots on target and collected 55 goals in the process – a conversion rate of 2.8.
La Stampa has also revealed how few goals Juventus’ attackers have contributed to the League cause so far this season.
Juve’s strikers have grabbed a combined 16 goals thanks to the efforts of Alessandro Matri, Mirko Vucinic and Fabio Quagliarella.
That means that just 41 per cent of the team’s goals have been netted by their forward players – only Novara, Catania and Udinese have lower percentages than that.
A total of 17 Bianconeri League goals have come from the midfield – with Claudio Marchisio and Simone Pepe grabbing six and five respectively so far.

And this is only our & Conte's first year of greatness. We came from two 7th places in a row till being very unlucky not to win 90% of our draws. I never believed in the Scudetto because I didn't believe that a team could take a leap from two 7th places in a row to the Scudetto. But next year we are going to rip teams apart if we manage to buy one world class player.
One can argue that next season will be harder on us than this season, we'll have 3 competitions instead of just 2 to focus on. Teams like Roma, Inter and Napoli are likely to push harder for a place in the top 3.
All in all this season should be our season (if not for the many useless draws that we had).
