Meh.
Fairly controlled performance, but it was hard to see where the goal was going to come for most of the game.
Was a very cautious display, in which Juve looked far more concerned about not losing than they did about winning. I certainly can't recall many occassions when Juve committed many men ahead of the ball in the search for a goal.
Although they went about it in a different way, I thought the general mentality seemed much the same as it was against Milan.
I've no issue with just keeping things tight and hoping for a chance to come, rather than really forcing things, but I'd only play in that way if I have a brilliant creative players and/or a reliable finisher. With Juve having neither of those things, they really need to be more pro-active in their efforts to creat chances, as they cannot be confident of winning consistently playing the way they have in the last couple of games.
Still, Juve did look solid and in control throughout - I can only recall the one dangerous ball across the face after a counter attack from Torino - whereas Juve did still create two clear chances in addition to the two goals scored, so I don't think you could really argue that Juve didn't deserve to win the game.
Thought the ref was very kind to Juve throughout.

Though I'm not sure there's a need to be more pro-active. I'd agree with it in most cases but not in the situation we're in right now, as there's no reason anymore to really go for the win.
