First time Atalanta has beaten Juve in over 20 years, Juve drops to 4th place now with a chance of dropping further. Pirlo’s subs did nothing to change the game, he kept the same formation. I also hope Juve gets rid of Dybala, he’s offered nothing to this team this season.
It's a chore watching this team. Outside Cuadrado, De Ligt, Danilo, McKennie, and Chiesa, everyone affiliated with this side (including management) should have their place next year scrutinized.
It's been some time, in my memory at least, that Juve wasn't almost a mortal lock to win every outing. Some things in life were guaranteed, like having Guinness on tap in an Irish bar and should always be that way. This wondering if Juve will crash and burn thing has me confused.
I think we played quite well certainly not at our best. A draw would have been a fair result against a very good team who had home advantage. Positives Dybala didn’t do to bad considering he is not 100% fit and we played with intensity the whole game. On a negative note centre midfield had no quality but worked hard and Maratta was out mustled most the game and his hold up play was bad. I don’t think we missed Ronaldo as I think he would have been shut out quickly by a well organised Atalanta defence. Parma Wednesday and expecting a win . Keep fighting Juve, showed more fight and spirit today
The way this team be playing there is a real concern about us crashing out and not even making to the CL. Maybe then the ownership will kick agnelli to the curb. Pirlo can’t be faulted fully. They did such a horrible job. If they don’t make to the CL group stages then not many coaches would want to come. This team is a huge old elephant rn. Things must change and they must change quickly. If we keep struggling then there is a huge possibility we fire Pirlo before end of season.
Looks like Chiesa is going to be out for a while. Bad news as he’s one of our most consistent players
where did you hear this? Last I heard he was just missing tomorrow’s game and should be back for the next.

And Parma scores on the free kick. Buffon stood there like a statue, but to be fair the ball went right over a Ronaldo that sucked his head, he didn’t even jump to block the kick. He covered his face. Had he jumped he would have blocked that.
Juve have the perfect spot for a freekick, Parma’s wall deflects it. That’s what happens when you jump.
Bentancur has been ********ing atrocious today, possibly the worst player out there and that’s saying something considering how poor some other have been so far.
Half-time, pretty lackluster. Juve's had about 60% of possession and has done little with it. Ronaldo needs to learn how to jump when defending a free kick. Nice goal from Alex Sandro. Juve needs that win, then they'll be 1 point behind Milan again.
I've defended Pirlo about as much as is possible but there is no excuse not to win this game. If they don't win, he must go. You need to do something to light a fire under these players' asses so they don't miss Champions League.
First half again to slow in transition. We have had a few chances to play a ball between there centre half and left back but our centre mid don’t seem to have the vision to play that killer ball to get us in behind the defence.
