December will see us in a series of difficult matches. The one that would be considered easy will likely be rescheduled in January since the Supercoppa is scheduled for the next day. The Juve site shows the Crotone fixtures on the books as well as the Lega Serie A one. I did not find anything about when it will be rescheduled. This will be a big test and if we pull through well, it takes us into a good position for the new year. Serie A 3 Dec - Atalanta 11 Dec - at Torino 17 Dec - Roma *22 Dec - at Crotone Champions League 7 Dec - Dinamo Zagreb Supercoppa 23 Dec - Milan
Pjaca, Dybala, Bonucci, and Barzagli should all be back by the time we hit the round of 16 in the CL.
We must fire on all cylinders. Atalanta are in good form. Torino are having a really good season, and are a huge threat. Roma is second place in Serie A, our direct rival. Dinamo Zagreb is easy but we must win in order to guarantee first place. Some really tough games, but I am confident we can beat them if we give 100%. I am a little worried about the Torino game though.
Dybala will be on the bench tomorrow, but the likelihood of him playing is slim to none, that's according to Allegri.
Guys, Pjanic just called me and told me why he wasn't performing well. He told me that he is saving it all for Roma. He wants to score at least 2 free kicks against them and aim for man of the match.
Well Allegri said maybe, he didn't say for sure, and he was very clear that he wanted to give him more time and not start him. He probably left Dybala out just to avoid temptation of using him before he is actually 100% fit and ready.
"Paulo trained with us yesterday and will likely be called up for Juve Atalanta, but it's unlikely he'll play."
Well he can score free kicks. We need him to do the other stuff. Its not like we have that fancy player that can even pull free kicks in dangerous spot these days. Maybe once Dybala is back
With all the injuries we've been getting Dybala really needs to avoid being tackled though, not aiming to get tackled in spots to make Pjanic useful.
Can't ********ing wait for this one, mainly because i need to see what kind of reaction the team will have
#Juventus XI: Buffon, Lichtsteiner, Rugani, Chiellini, Alex Sandro, Khedira, Marchisio, Sturaro, Pjanic, Mandzukic, Higuain. #JuveAtalanta— JuventusFC 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@juventusfcen) December 3, 2016
Keep an eye on left winger Spinazzola, who is a Juve youth product on loan at Atalanta. He stated his dream is to return to Juve.
Juve Stadium practically goes pitch dark for a moment of silence for the Chapecoense team. Hint of green on the billboards. Nice effect. Even more amazing is the stadium lights are brightened up immediately afterwards. Having sat in a stadium when the lights went out and having to wait as they warm back up, that is something else.
That last foul on Chiellini is the bullshit that refs have allowed all season against us. The card needs to be shown on that.
LOL - Is this is what you have saved and paste it as your only post nowadays. I hope you paste it often this afternoon.
