The Premier League is objectively a stronger league than Serie A (not a matter of opinion, look at the results in Europe). The fact that Kulusevski and Bentancur have both excelled in England suggests that Juventus need to look within. What’s wrong with us as a club?
Stronger doesn't mean more difficult, especially for attacking players.

We didn't play to his strengths but he also didn't take any of his chances. Need to get over it, sometimes it doesn't work with players.

Damn, he is back to that Parma form, he looks brilliant. Now tell me what happened at Juve.
Easy. One team plays without the pressure of results in a league that favors attacking and counterattack play/s.
There was no pressure in going out of the groups of the Conference League and FA Cup to a second league team.
It doesn't get less pressure than that.

The other team plays to always win it all where losing and not winning trophies means the end of the world in league that values defense and tactical play.

So far he has thrived in an environment without said pressure.

There are plenty of examples of players failing for a team and exceling in another, nothing new. He had the chance under three different coaches here and did not manage to convince. I am more pissed for Romero who we never gave the chance TBH.

He's playing up front with Kane and Son, how the hell isn't he going to get some goals and assists?

TBH I see the same player just more confident as he has more opportunities, more attacking space and chances, more attacking numbers, better attacking team mates, quicker turnaround of play. That's general PL football at the top end, and certainly not Juve of the last few seasons.

I liked his goal against West Ham, that was really nice, some assists too. Although making a sideways 5 yard pass to Son who curls it in from 30 yards is a bit of a false assist, even if it counts.

He's obviously got talent but it doesn't really matter to us now, players have to suit a style of football or system. He's no Henry for example but what kind of career would Henry have had if he'd stayed at Juve for 5 years and played as a winger or third attacker?

The pressure at Juve is tremendously different from that at Spurs. Here you are expected to win everything and not crash out to shit teams, otherwise there will be huuuuuge consequences. Just look at how all our players and coach were punished, demoted and sacked this year. There are no excuses and transition years to be had here.

Agree. Just ask sorri and Pirlo.
They would so agree with you.

Sometimes even winning trophies is not enough let alone going out to Serie B teams in coppa Italia.

It's easier in the EPL. Watch Kulu highlights and see all the space he's getting. Can you imagine him receiving a forward pass from Arthur with him closer to the goal than the fullback if he was at Juve?
