You don't think we can beat those teams at home? Might as well forget the scudetto already if you think like that.
We'll beat everyone of them at home. And let's be honest, besides Inter, we seem to always struggle when playing away at Roma and Napoli for the most part over the past 3-4 years. The results have been mixed E.g

11/12 - V Roma 1-1, Napoli 3-3

12/13 - V Roma 2-1 (loss), Napoli 1-1

13/14 - V Roma 1-0 (win, last minute goal from Osvaldo), V Napoli (2-0 loss)

14/15 V Roma 1-1, Napoli 3-1 win

9 points behind with 30 rounds to go, it's not even close to being some kind of crisis.
Our remaining games in 2015

Atalanta (H)
Sassuolo (A)
Torino (H)
Empoli (A)
Milan (H)
Palermo (A)
Lazio (A)
Fiorentina (H)
Carpi (A)

I think we can 21 points (at least) from those games.

No one is conceding the title... but being concerned and upset by this appalling start to the season is totally reasonable.
Of course it is. We definitely should be much higher up the table than we are now. Some of those losses and draws at the beginning of the season were unacceptable.

But I just don't find this particular result or performance (esp second half) to be that concerning. We nearly have a full squad back, the team is improving, all we need is a touch of luck and a bit more "nastiness" infront of goal, which will eventually come. As someone said earlier in this thread, we'd have lost this match a few weeks ago. Now we have 5-6 extremely winnable games coming up in Serie A, I expect us to be getting close to the top 3 very soon.

You just called Inter better than another club, you do realise that?

Any time we do not beat Inter I am bitterly disappointed.
True. But we will rape them (@Sadomin) at Juventus Stadium. And it will be glorious.

I hate to say this but I feared this would happen throughout the summer, took 2 bloody bans for it too :(
They should have banned you permanently.

I don't think foreigners are scared of us, we simply just play better in CL, don't know why, motivation maybe.
And yes, we've gave up too much points already, but "nothing is fucked" yet.
Sevilla showed us some serious respect by not chasing the game in the second half when they were behind. They showed less respect to Barcelona in the following game. That fear has a big part to play and was the reason we were so formidable at home in the league prior to this season.

CL suits us because most teams are more open than what we face in the league. Even more so with the type of players we have now, fast and technical who get from one end of the pitch to the other quickly.

Look at Inter second half yesterday, and they were at home FFS. Sticking people behind the ball and countering is just such an easy option for many of the small teams we face, especially when we're at home, but they are still relying on us to mess up openings we get, which we are doing a pretty good job of so far this season.

Well, I thought that was a good, entertaining match.

Great intensity and interesting tactical match-ups.

Juve were vulnerable at times due to Marchisio not quite being properly up to speed, but Inter didn't actually create a chance in the match. Juve defended very well when they had to and Inter did put them under fairly severe pressure at times in the first half.

But Inter never threatened to regain that intensity in the second half and Juve were completely dominant and should have won the game with the chances they created and the good situations they (Cuadrado) failed to turn into chances.

Think Juve pushed Khedira a little higher in the second half and that drew the attention of Inter so that they couldn't double-mark Cuadrado as they did in the first half and that was what allowed him to get on the ball a lot.

Juve looked a bit unbalanced in the second half due to the lack of any sort of threat of penetration from Evra.

Thought that in the first half both Icardi and Zaza moved well in order to move defenders around and create space for Jovetic and Morata. Once Juve took control of the second half, Icardi had no chance and Zaza's style of play suited Juve's needs less.

That midfield Juve played should turn out to be very strong indeed once Marchisio gets fit and if Pogba regains some form.

I just can't see Inter scoring enough goals this season to win the scudetto.

Inter's coreo pre-match was cool.
