We are into the final month of the season. There are 12 points left to earn. As of this moment, the next 2 points eliminate Napoli. The next 4 points eliminate Roma. Do we take scudetto numero 6 at the Olimpico in Roma? We also have two games against a pesky principality. A big month as always is May. Serie A 6 May - Torino 14 May - at Roma 21 May - Crotone 28 May - at Bologna Champions League 3 May - at Monaco 9 May - Monaco
its better if we win Scudetto next weekend instead of this one....that way we'll hopefully be done with Monaco and can really celebrate. otherwise if we win this weekend (beating Torino and hope Roma lose or tie) then we cant really celebrate cuz of Tuesday's game.
Well even if we do win it this week, we won't know until Roma-Milan finishes. So we won't be able to celebrate anyway until after the Monaco game. If Roma beat Milan, then we will probably win it at the Stadio Olympico next week, assuming we don's lose to Roma.
For the derby .... Juventus: Neto; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Benatia, Asamoah; Khedira, Rincon; Cuadrado, Dybala, Sturaro; Mandzukic Juventus bench: Buffon, Audero, Dani Alves, Mattiello, Barzagli, Chiellini, Mandragora, Alex Sandro, Pjanic, Marchisio, Lemina, Higuain Torino: Hart; Zappacosta, Rossettini, Moretti, Molinaro; Acquah, Baselli; Iago Falque, Ljajic, Boye; Belotti Torino bench: Padelli, Cucchietti, Carlao, Castan, Barreca, Avelar, Benassi, Valdifiori, Lukic, Obi, Iturbe, Maxi Lopez
Asamoah looks pretty good out there today which is a surprise, he looks calm on the ball. Lichtsteiner looks not so great, had a decent shot on goal tho.
Well Torino complete shut down Cuadrado for the most part, everytime he has the ball he gets triple teamed. I think we should sub off Cuadrado. Torino has been playing physical the whole match, they are just going at our guys.
can we just adknowledge how well Asamoah has done today... really surprised to see him looking so calm on the ball and playing good passes. Great line pass down the top of the 18 right there
Thank god Higuain bailed us out! I'll take the 1 point... But what a shitty performance by the team, I'm sure Allegri is gonna fire the guys up after the game for the game against Monaco coming up. Cuadrado was just piss poor, Sturaro was a non factor, I still can't believe we extended him. Benatia was mediocre, thankfully we had Bonucci in there. Overall the whole team just wasn't in it. Mandzukic had a pretty bad game as well, he didn't do much the whole game, not sure if he needs to sit out few games.
We saved a point. Home winning streak ended. Time to start a new one.We are 8 points clear of Napoli, 10 of Roma who have a match to spare. There are 9 to play for, so next week we can take it.Torino always play us tough at home, harder than at their place. They must like J Stadium.
Another big game goal for Gonzalo! Thank God. I didnt want to break our undefeated streak like this. Its amazing how this team plays so different when theyre fully focused. When were not then we play sloppy and cant create chances.
