[Serie A] JUVENTUS 2-0 SPAL [November 24th, 2018] (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Hust
- Start date
SPAL lost their momentum, they are terrible lately and the fluke win vs Roma was more Roma`s fault than some masterclass by Semplici and his players. Gomis is not a good goalie, of course he can make the game of his life against us Marchetti style, but if he has a standart game, 2-3 or more goals should be expected, regardless of who plays for us and who rests for Valencia.
The only positive that I see when I watch SPAL is that Antenucci and Petagna seems to have good understanding on the field up front, better than Petagna and Paloschi, also Mirco scored 2 goals in a row (vs Lazio and Cagliari), so I guess he will be preferred to partner Petagna vs us. Their midfield is filled with older players, bar Lazzari who is 24 the rest are around or over 30 (Missiroli, Valdifiori, Schiattarella, Everton Luiz, Kurtic is soon to be 30)...
They wont be able to cope with our tempo, our flangs (Sandro,Cancelo, Berna, Costa, Ronaldo, Dybala) - any of those players who play will be too hard to stop and eventually they will give up and collapse. Cagliari scored 2 goals in second half to earn a 2:2 draw after being 2:0 down, Lazio scored 2 goals in second half, Frosinone scored 2 goals in second half, thats three games in a row where the team loses focus, gets tired and concedes twice in the second half. Something like that should be expected here...
I wish Berna, Spinazzola and even Kean to participate in this game, even as a substitute, a tough cycle is about to start, Valencia, Fiorentina, Inter, Champions League last game, Torino, Roma, Atalanta, Sampdoria... cool way to end the 2018.

34 out of 36 points is a record (yet some are complaining). Made the most of the "easy" schedule. The period after this int'l break will be huge with all the tough games.
If we win most points, we will have won the league and won't have to worry about the return fixtures in April & May and will be able to rest players for CL.
Can be season defining period for both Serie A and CL.

It's good that we've already played Napoli, Lazio, Milan. 3 of the top 6 teams right now. Only Roma(a) + Inter(h) left from the top teams. Fiorentina, Atalanta, Torino away are tough fixtures too, I suppose, but nothing we shouldn't be able to handle.
Luckily, our remaining CL fixtures should be easy peasy, and we're already basically through, so that doesn't add much to schedule difficulty. We had our 3 toughest matches alread with the 2 ManU matches and Valencia away.

I saw Matheus Pereira is doing well. 5 goals-2 assists I believe.
