Always tough to break through when a decent side chooses to play as negatively as Roma did, but it always felt like Juve would win the game given the form and general mood of the two teams.
Juve probably should have scored early because Roma set up badly. Nainggolan played too wide and Vainqueur played too high and so Juve had a lot of chances to find Dybala between the lines.
But Roma adjusted and got Nainggolan more central and that meant Vainqueur wasn't getting pulled forward to try and close Marchisio, so it got very congested and difficult to play from about 30-60 mins.
It was a game crying out for Juve to bring on either (or both) of Sandro and Cuadrado and Cudrado made a difference when he came on. With the game starting to open out a little, he made Roma worry about a player being beaten one-on-one, which hadn't been an issue before that.
Still, as much as Juve were increasing the tempo and looking better, there was no real suggesting that a goal was coming.
And who knows if it would have come had Roma held their discipline.
But for the first time in the second half Juve won the ball in a situation that allowed them to break forward quickly and catch Roma with players out of position. The Juve players did well to recognise the chance early and to go fast and they executed the move nicely.
Juve should have put Roma under more pressure through the game. Dybala played too far away from Mandzukic, Khedira wasn't making appropriate runs from deep, Pogba played poorly and Evra and Lichtsteiner are not that well suited to that sort of game.
Was an interesting move from Roma to have Manolas free to try and close Pogba a lot of the time. Was somewhat reminiscent of when Stramaccioni had Juan Jesus marking Vidal.
