Yep.

It's time to see the real mental state of the team. Will we choke like we have in the past 2 seasons or is the Juve of old back and ready to steam roll the small teams?

Must win for sure. Second game of the season and already a chance to go +5 and stay at the top of the table? Lets kick ass!

Have to say I am very excited but I can't help but notice some similarities to two seasons ago. We started off well winning four straight games, crushing Roma at home, proclaiming Diego a great player, and hearing the same comments about how our manager had a winning mentality, knew what it meant to play for Juventus etc.

We were even tipped by many as scudetto favourites that year.

The expected formation for Siena:

Brkic; Vitiello, Rossettini, Terzi, Del Grosso; Mannini. Bolzoni, D'Agostino, Brienza; Calaiò, Gonzalez

The defense is not too great and they have some decend players like Mannini, D'Agostino and Brienza but that's not really a team which i see playing in Seria A next season:tuttosport:

I speaking of our nasty little tradition of losing to the small teams when the teams ahead of us (or our direct rivals) choke we just so happen to choke as well when a win would give us the position of them.

you are talking of the big picture, I am talking of the little puzzle pieces that end up on the top of the table at the end of the year.

I agree to some extent, but the fact that Ciro was not really a 'coach' is also worth noting.

We had Marchisio,Melo and Sissoko behind Diego, and Iaquinta and Amauri as a strikers.
