What's the point of watching games? To enjoy the spectacle and to be entertained. When I was younger, it was about following the players I liked, copying their moves if I could, and talking about results with fellow supporters (or supporters of rival clubs) at school and Uni.

Now, I don't even care or like most of the players (save for a handful and that's in the entire footballing community), the quality of the product is trash, and I despise the coach and hope he'd fuck off. Therefore, there is no point. Does JJ generte money for me? No. Then why bother? There literally is no reason to watch our games anymore. That's honestly how I feel. I'd rather have a BBQ with my friends, watch a movie, go out drinking, do some work, or get some sleep.

Juventus used to be a priority, but they've now become an unwelcome and tiring distraction.
It's not one thing mate;

1) Current Juve is shit
2) Modern football is sterile, corporate and plastic
3) You're old AF now and we all have nostalgia for things we enjoyed as youngsters

If current Juve were good, say Serie A was the equivalent of the PL and we were like Man City, you'd still enjoy it for the quality of football, but it's a lot more sterile now, more joyless. Trying to watch this Juve in this Serie A is like a different sport to 90s Serie A.

I'm watching the replay, missed it early this morning. Fuck me, I get that it is wet but our skills are absolute shit. That first half was fucking shit. No idea how to attack or build up play or do anything.

I dont even want to watch the second half.

Fuck allegri off...he is incapable of making this team play football. We run around like headless chicken shitcunts!

Does anyone else feel like supporting Juve is just an old, bad habit now?

There's very little about the club that I recognise when I started supporting it (in Italy during Serie B season). We've been a lot worse in a footballing sense than we are now. But since the club 'modernised', focusing so much on marketing and boosting its share price, alienating the real fanbase with high ticket pricing and stadium bans (only time you hear the crowd is after a goal for about 2 minutes) - in a lot of ways, the club is now superficial.

It sounds stupid for a person that hasn't seen Juve play live in 15 years, but the lack of atmosphere at home games is a turn off. It symbolises how culturally sterile Juventus has become. Football fans, especially Italians, need to express themselves at games but the only options available to them these days are to buy tickets and merchandise and clap politely. Surely their passion motivates the club's members (coach and players especially) and contributes to the clubs identity. If there is such a thing as Juve DNA, it's definitely missing a chromosome.
Their marketing over the past few years is some of the most cringeworthg stuff I've seen. Trying so hard to appeal to this generation of fortnite kids with players like the amazing Danilo and Rabiot. Not to mention how they milk our prized afro-american poster boy Mckennie for tik tock likes. It's unrecognisable from the club I grew up watching. A club that oozed professionalism and maturity.

This decline all started with Agnelli unfortunately and the JJ rebrand. He was too concerned with the product as opposed to the community.

Rocchi has suspended both Di Bello and Fourneau (VAR) for the next rounds of Serie A for the missed penalty awarded to Bologna against Juventus.His other penalty decision were deemed correct.

Seems like you’ve been red-pilled and have escaped the matrix. Welcome to infinity bradar

dominated possession and had 8 shots in the box, more than vs udinese. Also had a superior xG/xA. Bologna actually had half the xG as Udinese last week. Then the missed calls, Juve probably couldve had two penalties, Bologna one.

There are obvious weaknesses, but they're still playing a different way. Loca as an isolated orchestrator is gonna be an issue, as is the right flank. Idk how you improve the first one (maybe uhh dont sell your one true regista!) but they still have time to get Holm or another RWB/RW

Chiesa can play RW and we have Kostic and Illing for the LW and we also have two CMs who like to play from the left Pogba and Fagioli.

Even Miretti will inshallah run 20x a game and leave space for Kostic or Illing to cross. I think we would be ok without Chiesa there.

It's not hard to balance the attack.

The story is a bad precedence. They wrote about missed Bologna penalty but not for missed Juventus penalty. It's Corsport anyway.
