even carrera said that we haven't found our 'tempo' and that we were hungrier last season, that is only understandable as it's only been 2 matches since the season has started. it's important we win these games without putting in too much effort to save our energy - we will DEFINITELY need it for CL which can be very physically taxing

The easiest win ever!
No actually Fiorentina dubbing of 5-0 last season was even easier... but this came close.

True, I believe that's what Conte has been focusing on - winning games with maximum efficiency.. we were unable to do it last season, we were exhausting the shit out of ourselves.

We shouldn't get our hopes high, but beating Milan's record would be unbelievably satisfying.
Seems impossible tho... let's at least beat Arsenal's (49 games) first ;)

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.



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.
Spot on. This could be a problem against Chelsea, they are very dangerous at set-pieces. Napoli players remember that well from last year.
