What a frustrating result so far. Performance has been really good, clearly the better team so far today.
I wouldn't say Veretout was ball watching. The ball was cut across to morata and he moved over to cut off the far post shot. But in doing that, nobody was close to ronaldo at the top of the box.
Cristante as a free man in midfield has been fantastic and gave us full control of the ball, this is his real potential. Anything could happen in the 2nd half, including turning the game or losing 4-0.
Yep, a script we seen most seasons away. They just sit and counter. Everytime Ronaldo has half a yard it's dangerous while Roma have possession but going nowhere and it breaks down. Going into the game it would be better to flip the script. Play ugly, sit and make them come out. Just take a draw or try to get a counter or a corner. This plays in Juves hands every time.
I don't see how dzeko raises our level today; we've been the better side. Unless you mean with 15-20 left in the game for a defender/midfielder and we're still chasing a goal.
Might be one of the first times he regularly got near his pitch position that Atalanta had him playing so well in. That volley was very close. This was the potential he was bought for, not a controlling midfield come sweeper. Chasing shadows on the goal but hes not meant to be there.
Completely clueless in the final third while Juve’s defence are in training mode. Classic example of dominating possession with no end product. Corners have been woeful, failing to get past the first man or straight to Szczęsny. More urgency required 2nd half.
