This was his worst, he barely kept hold of the ball 5 times all game. Whenever the ball came to him under pressure he fell to the floor. When the ball was over the other side of the pitch I even saw him fall to the floor. Does he wear slippers instead of boots? Twice he tried to make a 5 yard pass and hit the ball far too hard. He had two glancing headers first half and a defensive header from a corner in the second, that was basically his contribution in the match.
I know why Conte started him, but it was painful.

This should be his last appearance.
I started wondering if there's some sort of a 10 million euros penalty Juve have to pay if he doesn't feature for a certain amount of matches. There's no other explanation for playing him and benching 3 much, much better players.
for Juve fans in the stadium for booing him.

It might have been against Milan or Bologna, I do remember him having a similarly useless match. But you're probably right, he started a Napoli counter.
I remember an incident in the first half (I said it in the LIVE thread) where there was one touch football between our midfield, then the ball was played to Borriello and he stumbled over and lost it, then looked over to the ref as if he'd been hacked down. It made me laugh. Juventus rarely makes me laugh when they're in a serious season, Toni was the last but at least he was useful.
