    It is time to acknowledge at least 2 things:

    1. Players that look like crap on other teams usually play much better when they come to or play for Juve compared to where they were or where they are currently playing. Cancelo, Mandzu, Tevez when he was here, Vidal, Caceres, and yes Paul Pogba. Amazing what playing for a club and coach with organization, a plan, tactical ability, a concrete role and discipline can do for a player.

    So, when our Club gos out and buys a player we don't rate, perhaps we should give them the benefit of the doubt?

    2. This is going to kill a few people on here, but we have to acknowledge that MDS has been a solid addition to this team when he is healthy. Once again, Max has a knack with certain players like MDS and Matri that gets a he!! of a lot more out of them then others do.

    Wins like today are why win Scudetti and everyone else cries in their prosecco.

    He has turned out to be a Juve Warrior like Chiellio in the back.

    Mario is having such a great season this year!
    By far our number two next to Ronaldo.
    Now if Dybala would star scoring more we would be all set.

    What I worry about is our defense, the last 2-3 games our defense has been shaky and very unreliable.
    I hope stability comes back when Emre and Khedira come back.

    Any chances for Spinazolla these days?
    Next 4 games are big games so surely Allegri will play the usual cast

    Great win as the march goes on. This is such a strange team. We've won 18 of 20, but it feels as if many of those were wins that were just grinded out like yesterday. On the whole, we were clearly the more positive side, pushing to get the win. However, you can argue that they had as many good if not better chances than we did. We were fortunate that Gagliardini hit the post because it could have been a different match had they scored there--yet, we continue to get those breaks and the wins, particularly in Serie A.

    I'll admit, I was concerned when we brought on Cancelo for a significant sum. How could we have paid so much for a fullback that wasn't even first choice for Portugal? However, he has proved to be worth every dime and more. If I were starting a squad tomorrow and had to pick a fullback between he and Alex Sandro, I would take Cancelo. Let's not forget that many of us wouldn't have sold Sandro for 70M just a couple years back so this says a lot.

    On an unrelated issue, how par for the course is it to see Spalletti making excuses about the loss yesterday? I would expect no less than such pathetic conduct by an Inter manager. You lost because we were more positive and have the better players. In a game where Ronaldo, Dybala and Pjanic were not at their best, we were still able to have a guy come through.

    Yes but....we have given ups 8n goals all season in Serie A. Top in that department by a long way.

    Tied for most goals scored also with 32.

    I feel that he was a much better player with his previous club.;)

    Good, I think Perin could be better than Szczesny if it wasn't for all the injuries. Lets see what he can do

    This ref has no control, Torino could easily have 2 yellows, then a guy runs into Ronaldo and they get the free kick lol

    The ref has no control of the game, the play acting by the Torino players is shameful. Then all the little things they do off the ball that they’re getting away with, it breaks any flow to the game.

    So is Dante just gonna blame the ref every single game we play like shit? Lol. We added Ronaldo to the team and it's made zero difference

    Nah, I won’t slag this team continually like you do.

    I also realize this team won’t roll over everyone, especially since Ronaldo joined the club and complain when they don’t. This is a derby at Torino, of course it’s going to be scrappy and difficult. When aren’t the derbies that way?

    Penalty to Juve after a terrible back pass by Zaza.
