Decent performance from Juve.
Started out really well with excellent movement and sharp passing. Was almost a surprise that it took so long for them to get the first goal. When Juve play with that speed, intensity and variety, there aren't many teams who can cope.
Bologna were sort of caught doing nothing, though. They weren't stepping up and pressing, they weren't dropping deep enough to deny space in behind and their midfielders couldn't seem to decide whether they were to track midfield runners or if they should hold shape.
After that, as Juve often do when they have a big game coming up, they dropped deep, didn't really press and generally looked to play more on the break than they normally do.
Second half was all perfectly fine other than Juve missing a bunch of chances to make it 2-0 and finish the game before they did.
Only defensive issue was some iffy defending of crosses. Most of it wasn't really dangerous, but Juve's marking will need to be better than that when playing Drogba next week.

I do really like very much how Ogbonna played.Very confident and not a single mistake.
Was one cross that he misjudged the flight of (think it was shortly before Juve scored the second goal), but that Bologna player (Lacks salt?) also midjudged it, though it was a pretty decent chance he had after Ogbonna missed it.
Omg i can't belive this,they are retarted
I think you can legitimately argue Peluso should have been sent off.
Rick O'Shea?

Wow. Did we really score from a NOT short corner?
@Red
Astonishing.
I'd be interested to know if that was a planned corner move or if it was actually a pretty poor corner from Tevez and just a really good run from Chiellini.
Was a great header either way.
