Not a particularly good performance.
Juve started off at a cracking tempo and put Palermo under pressure, but lost there way once they didn't get an early goal.
Was a game where it was probably a mistake for Conte not to field a genuine CF, because Juve put in quite a few decent crosses, but there was never any real threat of someone scoring from them. You could see Marchisio - probably due to the new role - kept getting himself in too close to the goal when the cross was coming in, so it wasn't possible to pick him out. He has to do more than just charging forward like he does when he's starting deeper.
Liked how Chiellini and Barzagli got really narrow at times (Chiellini spent much of the first half playing more like a DM than a CB) in order to mark Miccoli and Ilicic to stop them from getting comfortable possession and to allow Juve to win the ball back quickly and keep the tempo high.
Was hard to see where the goal was coming from, but it was very nice of that tim cunt Donati to make the remarkably stupid mistake that settled the game.
Thought Palermo played very well. They did a good job of clogging up the centre of the pitch - choosing to send Juve wide and then dealing well with the crosses that came in. They could easily have nicked a goal or two if they'd had a little more luck, too.
