Mentality. That's the biggest issue with this squad.
Injuries and tactical setups can't be used as a reason for why we are throwing games away against provincial sides. What happened against Venezia is 100% a mentality problem.
We keep playing to the level of the opposition. This has been a problem for years.
Motta needs to fix this first.

The same as they are for any Juventus coach or team. Fight for the title, do well in Europe and try to play with grinta and passion. I don’t care if it’s Allegri, Sarri, Motta or fucking Graham Arnold coaching. At Juventus that is the standard, that’s our history and that’s our culture. But for wayyyyy too long now, certain people in charge have tried to change the way we do things and now look at our results.
Exactly my thoughts. He doesn’t have the best squad, he has had bad luck with injuries… but I think he’s brought on a lot our problems with his decisions on game day as well
Surely the club would think the same as well in terms of missing out on the top 4(5?)Not having CL money for the 2nd time in 3 seasons would be catastrophic for us.

Of course. No sane person is actually going to believe Motta would still be here next season if we miss out on the CL.
A coach who's been successful (with us) in the past might get a pass when failing to qualify. But a newbie like Motta? Not a chance.
Then again, maybe I'm just thinking about how the old Juve used to operate.

Stats says we are playing almost the same type of football that Bologna played during his stint - just a bit better in possesion, while creating a lil bit less chances.
So he's done his job, other than results. I think it sounds like our expectations were high. I'm the first to put my hand up to say mine were and assume his football will take us to new heights. Of course there's time to oil that football and make it look a little more pretty but the attacking stats is alarming, especially when you compare the quality of players bologna had to ours. We invested heavily in attacking players, I'd expect us to up it. Anyway hopefully with time we might even start to see something a tad pretty.
This is our 3rd time we are going for a manager that has a non defensive style of football. Pirlo, Sarri and now Motta. Motta and Sarris is more possession based, but it shows it takes more than a coach to change a clubs defensive philosophy. Right now though, we are barely winning, and at the end, that's the only thing that matters.
Yeah you expect better results with better players, that's standard. I think there are various reasons for the results and partly due to how he had set up, but not sure anyone should have expected a massive change in playing style. Just having a coach who wasn't jaded or on a mission to fight the world was potentially nice.
I didn't see any real effort to kill the game against Venezia when we were leading 1-0. Do you think the players put in an acceptable performance? We needed a last minute pen to get a draw against 20th position Venezia at home.
We shouldn't be waiting until the last 15 minutes of a match to try and attack.
The same focus needs to be there regardless of whether the opposition is Inter/Manchester City/Napoli or Venezia/Lecce/Cagliari.
