Yet another embarrassing loss compounded by a poor defensive and midfield performance

Dybala was also absolutely terrible

Chiellini should never have played

Sturaro can't play when it's a 3 man midfield FACT

SOMEONE needs to start providing for Higuain

Marchisio was anonymous

Khedira isn't and never was good enough - what does he do????

Cuadrado has no end product

if we ever go 3-5-2 again after how atrocious it makes us play then wow, Barzagli and Chiellini are done, switch to a 4 man defense, too many net negatives on the pitch, and Dybala was really awful,

Allegri should take all the blame for the loss.
He dont knows what he is doing, player dont get his tactics and he cant even fire them up because he is a snorefest.

Good luck allegri. Elkann will get you too

Fiorentina were there for the taking in the last 25 minutes when they ran out of steam. Sadly we didn't take either of our two very good chances.

I'd say Fiorentina probably deserved the win over the whole 90 minutes though. Was nice to see Allegri experiment with the 442 in the second half. Pjaca is very raw but he has crazy potential.

This being the fifth wake up call in the season we are not sure that Juventus have finally hit form. Losing derbies is not a bad thing but the way we got outplayed against Inter, Milan twice, Genoa and today is bad. Scratch that, it's very bad. So much was obvious is how much the players looked like they cared, the look on Binucci's face when he got the yellow card sums it all up. This team has to spine, the backbone was removed and got replaced by absolutely nothing. To recover the strength that team had requires a lot, it all starts with our policies.

Buffon 5

Barzagli 4.5
Bonucci 4.5
Chiellini 4.5

Cuadrado 5
Khedira 4
Marchisio 4.5
Sturaro 4
Alex Sandro 5.5

Dybala 4
Higuain 6

Pjaca 4
Rincon 4
Mandzukic N.R

We just don't got it with this midfield roster. They can't dominate and control a game. If anyone pressures our midfield we get overrun like like a house made of cards.
Only higgy deserves to eat after this game. The rest underperformed and where outright disasterous. Not one other good player out there

haha, this team. like, we have so many world class players and still never play attractive football
Like it doesn't even have to be attractive. Just play football where you make simple 1 two passes, draw players, open up some space, make a few quick incisive passes to put a team out of position and open up space.

We just can't do that. It has to be a slow as she goes passing game between the back 3 until we get lucky.

Crazy overreactions all around again. Mini meltdown, is that a better term for these rather than a meltdown?
It's not a crazy overreaction.
We keep getting beaten and outplayed when teams try to put us under pressure...

We want to challenge in Europe and walk the league yet whenever someone comes at us we're like rabbits in headlights.

We keep reverting to a system that can't be supported with our midfield players and no longer functions

And our manager clearly is not getting the best out of our players
