See my above posts. Juve are undefeated and have nothing to show for it. It sounds great and looks great. The consistency to WIN and take 3 points instead of dropping 2 points against teams Juve should beat could be a difference maker come end of May. Yes, they've exceeded expectations but Juve have a legit shot at winning this thing which is why they (and we) shouldn't accept it.

Hopefully once CL starts up again we'll start to see Milan and Inter drop some points.

Milan have injury problems and a tough schedule in the next few weeks: Lazio (A), Napoli (H) and Udinese (A) before the middle of February.

Juve's schedule isn't easy, but is easier.

They probably need to be five or six points clear of Milan this time next month if they are to win the tile, I'd say.

Juve have the most draws in Serie A

Udinese have to run out of steam sooner or later, as they started their season really early with European qualifying games.

Inter are doing well now, but I can't see them sustaining it very long, so I doubt they'll seriously challenge.

It's still Milan's title to lose, as far as I'm concerned.

Here we go, Juve lacking the killer instinct. Its going to be a rough second half of the season.

Atalanta 0-2 Juventus .

You're gonna continue to accept the strikers not scoring any goals? How long can Juve depend in their midfielders to score. Another important point: consistency in staying health.

I'm sorry, I didn't know it's only considered a win if a forward scores... And who's injured?

[red]

Marchisio and Pepe both picked up knocks.

Neither expected to be fit to play Roma in midweek, but unclear how long they'll be out for.

[Bagg10]

Marchisio's fb says it's nothing serious. And as well as Pepe has been playing he's not a huge loss.
Giaccherini is playing better and I wouldn't mind seeing Elia or Estigarriba (or even Krasic :X) play.

[juventino_italiano]

Vucinic stinks...I'd rather quagliarella in there, is he back from the cheekbone fracture?

[red]

Not too bad a showing tonight, given that there were a number of fringe players playing.

Juve still don't look good working the ball out from the back when playing the 3-5-2, but at least they are still pretty solid with that system.

Chiellini fouls Lamela off the ball and pulls him down on top of him, then proceeds to roll around like a queerbag after Lamela kicks him in the upper leg. No doubt Lamela was stupid, but its an understandable reaction considering he was ridiculously hauled to the ground. Did Chiellini even get booked? If the linesman seen Lamela's kick then surely he seen what led to it.

Not entirely clear, ha. Roma gain possession of the ball and look to spring a counter, Chiellini stumbles over himself and then drags Lamela down with him – he wasn't going to let him run free down the wing. No excuses for Lamela, what he done was wrong and stupid, but Chiellini is no angel.
