37% possession and pass accuracy of 81%. Our passing is atrocious and it’s a very lame first half. Zakaria has offered very little. Maratta has spent more time on his ars instead of his feet. Great goal from la joya but the last 3 games he has looked uninterested. Can’t say I blame him. Give it till the hour mark and if there is no improvement in the way of urgency and tempo I think we should bring onDV7 and perhaps change to a 4-2-3-1 to be more offensive.
Other than the goal Dybala has done nothing. I'd say Zakaria has been Juve's best player so far. Then Tek.
Not sure how that's a yellow on De Sciglio, who got all ball. Speaking of De Sciglio, my dead father could put in better crosses than him tonight. They've been atrocious.
Glad we won…Games vs Sassuolo are always hard. These guys always play us hard and always have trouble beating them. This goal will give Kean more confidence as he grows.
Poor all round tonight. We gave them way to much room in and around our 18 . Not one player went out to narrow the angle or put in a challenge. We just backed off the whole night. Midfield was lathargic and lacked energy and composure. A lucky win didn’t deserve it but we can’t afford to keep playing on the back foot for 90% of the game like tonight. A bit more composure and clinical we could have been on the end of a hammering. Tek was MOM for me.
We won. That pretty much locks up top 4 and puts us 1 point behind Choke-oli. Winning against a full strength Sass on their pitch with a patched together lineup is an accomplishment. Think of all the teams this weekend who couldn't do the same.
"We were trying to bring home a draw, which was important as a result." [Allegri] This is the loser mentality he feeds us. What happened to "winning is the only thing that matters" ?
LOL. And OF COURSE Inter lose to Bologna! If we convert 1 of our many chances against them and they don't get that cheap PK, we would be right in this race still. Milan may actually win it now despite theme punching above their weight all year.
Today's make up games pretty much lock up at least 4th for us. We could possibly go as high as 2nd, but 3rd or 4th is more likely.
True, but you always want to finish as high up the table as you can. A strong finish and maybe we gt off to a much better start next season.
