Not much to say about the game, since it was done as a contest very early.
Juve were adequate, and I'm sure they could have stepped things up if they'd had to.
They really need to sort their defending of set-pieces. If they keep letting the opposition win the first header, they are asking for trouble.
Is it just me or do we have a more indifferent approach compared to last season so far? Sometimes I wonder where all that grinta has gone. I thought about this since our friendlies, we play with much less intensity yet we win everything. Is this a way of saving our energy or do we lack Conte motivating everyone on the sideline?
Takes some time to get back in the groove and the heat won't be helping.
Also, Juve didn't play with a huge amount of pace and aggression last season when playing 3-5-2 either. It was far more about controlling things and grinding teams down then as well, not like 4-3-3 when Juve did play with fantastic intensity which a lot of teams just couldn't live with at all.
Still, it's a good thing that Juve can win when playing without so much intensity.
Last season Juve had to be 'on' constantly and they ended up expending more energy that they really ought to have needed to to win games because of it.
Will be important now that they are in the CL to be able to win games without having to play flat out too much of the time.
