Didn't see the first half hour, but anyway:
Palermo were so poor that the game was never interesting.
Ended up being little more than an execise in concentration and holding one's nerve. Still, refreshing to see Juve actually take advantage of an opponent dropping points.
Thought Juve lacked penetration with Vucinic and Qualiarella up front. Too much of the play was in front of the defence when they should have been looking to move behind the defence more.
Juve are really poor at making use of the wing backs in 3-5-2. Why is it that the RWB (whoever it is) plays so high up the pitch and quite narrow? I makes it almost impossible to get the ball to them and leaves Juve lacking width on that side.
Not using the wingbacks well also results in too much of Juve's play being focused through the middle of the pitch.
Still, handy to get a game like that where relatively little energy will have been expended.
