Did Inter's treble winning team look good last season when they were thrashed by Catania?
Not just today's game but a few others - many of the provincial sides are able to put Juve under immense pressure - Juve is unable to control possession for long stretches against small, apparently less-skilled teams. Inter were guilty of 1 or 2 off games last season but for the most part demolished the small teams.

I'm just saying, we don't have the technical skills to win the Scudetto.

I like the early Sunday time for Juve games. It's hard to get up for 9 on a Sunday morning but I like the traditional feel. I hate the late Sunday games the most as I have to wait too long for it and at that time I'm normally sulky because Monday is near.


I can't consider us Scudetto material. The squad just isn't talented enough, imo. We're winning a lo of games on hard work and effort but I don't think we can rely on that for the whole season and there are some games where that just isn't enough.

Exactly - we don't have those rare talents, ala Ibrahimovic, Et'o or Pastore, to single single-handedly win a game that's is headed for a 0-0 draw. I don't consider Krasic to be such a player.

Krasic is a game changer, imo. But besides DP, every once in a while, he's the only one and when he's taken out of it, it's a great struggle. Another thing is that if Aquilani isn't playing well or is missing, the team loses so much quality in midfield. We could really do with a capable backup for him. Marchisio is a boss but he doesn't control the midfield like Aqua.

Aquilani's last two performances already make you question his price tag - did you realise his performances have dropped ever since Juve said they will sign him?

:agree: Agree with that.

Even with the win last night our team still looks shaky and not fully confident. Top 3 is the best result we can aim for realistically with the current team.

If you compare how we beat Catania to how Milan beat Brescia - Milan were all over Brescia for most parts of the game - Juve were under pressure for long stretches against Catania - sloppy Catania finishing being the real difference.

Granted Milan was at home but we hardly dominate teams at home either.
