Cuadrado is a cheating tw@t. No way that was a penalty. He threw himself.

Should have had none.

Well technically speaking I think it was because the Chievo player got all man, no ball.

But Cuadrado obviously played for it and going for the dive was the only thing on his mind as he really had no where to go there.

I mostly blame the Chievo player for lunging, should have just ushered him out of play or blocked the eventual hopeful cross Cuadrado would have tried to play across goal

Wow. Three matches played, Juventus with 1 point. Couldn't get any better.

I think they'll struggle these first 2 months. Allegri doesn't have the Conte core to rely on anymore so it will be difficult for them when things are not working out.

And I was reading a bit of comments from other forums from Juve fans and even they are worried now since they don't have Tevez to bail them out as they freely admit that there were games last season where they were terrible and Tevez got them the points from a moment of brilliance (basically same thing we had with Ibra)

The problem is that I don't think there'll be any team who's consistent enough throughout the season who will be able to de-throne Juve. Roma usually start really well but then falter after Christmas. Napoli are just inconsistent - period. And us and Inter imo are not good enough to make a proper challenge

Agreed. But maybe if we or someone else holds up until Christmas and invests more during the winter transfer period...

We'd need to invest another 90M to be title contenders.

You think? I'm not that sure. One or two midfielders would do the trick for starters.

I don't believe that can be us. Sadly I think we just have too many weaknesses in our squad, not to mention a terrible mind-set that has been set in our players since Allegri. I just don't think we're strong enough to even get a CL spot.

If we had properly invested all the money we spent then sure, but we didn't even get one great mid who can be an orchestrator, I just don't see us being able to win enough games to do that.


True


With the way Galliani works, I think x-off is right

We need one top CB to replace Mexes who's not getting any younger and has had issues with coaches so he always seems to be starting from scratch each season so we never have any consistency at the back

We need at least 2 creative mids, one a regista the other a trequartista.

Without these 3 additions I can't see us doing anything of note this season

On paper Inter and Roma look the most likely candidates, but as I said before Roma are just fragile mentally, I can't see them pushing Juve all the way and Inter will solely rely on Jovetic for creativity now that Mancini pushed all his creative mids out the door. And let's face it, he's not a player you can rely on considering his injury history

Inter won again today...

Roma currently losing

But as it seems..they are barely winning..I saw the goal..and it was a big mistake from Chievo. Oh well..

Another 1-0 from them, meh. Well, 1 goal conceded in 4 games so far. At least they know how to defend.

Yeah, again, the bounce of the ball is going their way atm. They're on a streak and it's not so much about how they're playing (which isn't all that good) but having luck on their side and scraping the wins

Man...Inter are winning again..most of the other big teams flopped including Juventus, Napoli and Roma.

Inter win. Roma lose. Juventus draw. Napoli draw. Lazio win.

I think Inter is getting more and more serious.

But good God, Allegri did it again. Unbelievable.

Juve draw at home is really interesting i thought they would win this won clearly.


Frosinone Calcio have not won or drawn a single game since they came to Serie A and yet draw away to Juve last years winners..

They're doing terrible, but there's still a long way to go. Either way though, Allegri's choices are just incredible. Leaves Hernanes and Dybala on the bench and plays frigging Sturaro and Pereyra.

i think he just was very naive in thinking why put on Hernanes and Dybala surely my juventus team can beat these guys at home since they have not won a league or draw a game...and it backfired.

He's repeating the same stuff he did with Milan.

Urby anyone?

Typical Allegri really, the core that Conte built is no longer there to rely on, this is HIS team, unlike last season and he's showing us that we were right to think he's mediocre.

As for Inter, I'm not worried (yet). They'll mess up soon and it will crumble from there. They're mostly scraping each game, their luck will soon run out.

he did'nt get us to a CL but i think if he did we would have 8 by now..

Tonight's game is going to be decisive, I think. If Juve don't win this one either, then I don't think they have what it takes to win the league.

We'll see. I think it's too early to tell

I can't see Inter keeping up their current run for much longer, and Roma are too inconsistent.

Still think Juve have the best squad in the league and should (at least on paper) be able to win it

Napoli scored vs Juve, a goal by Insigne.


If Juve keeps on going like this, then the title race is basically open to everyone.

True. But I still think that they'll win it in the end. Sure the race will be a lot more open than in the last few years considering they usually win the title by December. But with most teams in the league being so inconsistent I think once Juve settle into a rhythm they'll see things out as usual.

Allegri's constipated face is always too funny

2-0

My my, Juve self-destructing here!

then juve answered quickly!

YES

I don't understand Allegri. Leaves Cuadrado on the bench. Plays Hernanes as anchor albeit he's never played that position before. Removes Dyabala who's arguably their most dangerous threat in attack, and replaces him with Morata, a CF, on the wing. And sticks to his favorites like Padoin and Pereyra. But then again, it's fucking Allegri. One shouldn't be surprised.

I will always answer these types of bewildered musings about Allegri with 2 words. Urby Emanuelson!

FT

Juve lose again.

Their only win being a game where the opposition scored an own goal, they were awarded a penalty and Genoa were playing with 10 for long periods of the game and then 9 men as well.

This is probably worse than his 3rd season with us

Too bad we're not playing them now

Inter getting royally trashed by Fiorentina.

It's these things that make me angry why we didn't win today.

Well, as I predicted, Inter not only come crashing down from their high but they do it beautifully. Expecting a meltdown from them in the coming weeks

Well, what can you do. It's not like we're going to be competing for top 3 anyway. It's still very early in the season and although this would have been a huge opportunity for us, there will be others, and hopefully by then we'll have improved and Miha will maybe have beaten some of the bad mental issues we suffer from out of the team

Anyone watching Inter-Samp?

Correa with an incredible miss!! Was harder to actually miss rather than score

How's Inter playing?

Inter losing.

I love when I'm right

Samp have been the better team, should be winning by more

Kevin-Prince Boateng has been called up for Milan’s friendly against Monza tomorrow, but Mario Balotelli is out.

It kicks off on Thursday at the Stadio Brianteo in Monza at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT).

Boateng arrived last week and will train with the Rossoneri until December 31 after being frozen out by Schalke 04.

Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic will also take this time to evaluate the Ghana international for a possible contract in January.

Boateng is included in the squad to face Monza and will wear shirt number 72.

Balotelli is still unavailable after a muscular problem ruled him out of the 4-0 defeat to Napoli.

Goalkeeper Diego Lopez is also out of action.

Milan squad for Monza: Abbiati, Donnarumma; Alex, Mexes, Turano (51), De Santis (52), El Hilali (53), Zucchetti (54); De Jong, Josè Mauri, Nocerino, Poli, Suso, Boateng (72), Crociata (56), Zanellato (57); Cerci, Luiz Adriano, Hamadi (55), Vassallo (58), Agnero (59)*

I for one did not know it was that bad a situation down in Schalke 04.

Sure. Be behaved completely unprofessional, just remember the photos.

which photos?

The ones where he was smoking, I think?

Tells you everything:

oh damn i didnt know about this.

Watch us give him a contract in January, he apparently played 45 minutes of our friendly against Monza the other day

Great. Just great.

And with shirt #72 nonetheless. What a time to be a Milan fan!

#72 or #27?

Because the latter used to be his, don't know what the former's significance is...

27 is occupied by Kucka, so he chose the opposite.
