Well deserved win for Fiorentina, they controlled the entire second half

Honestly other than the first 20 minutes or so I thought they controlled the whole game.

Empoli are insanely bad. I don't even think that firing Zanetti would help, they just have an awful squad.

Frosinone, however, are very good. They really impressed me against Sassuolo today, and that match is probably the most entertaining one I've watched so far this year. Di Francesco really seems to have everyone bought into his system.

Milan vs Verona was such a borefest. Hopefully Maignan, Hernandez, Calabria aren't injured for too long.

It was a poo poo match but I can would blame that on the 3-4-3/3-5-2 formation that Pioli decided to play. Agreed that we desperately need Theo back, though I thought Florenzi played well in Calabria's position.

Unironically hoping to see Adli get his chance since Krunic is going to be out for 2+ matches, but I bet it'll be more Pobega.

It's a shame Roma won today but it was probably inevitable.

I also think Allegri and Mourinho are bringing teams down to their level extra bad this season; the Atalanta - Juve match was abysmal.

I think the global embarrassment caused by the Sassuolo match has caused Juve to Allegri harder than they've ever Allegri'd before. Today's performance was probably the worst of the Allegri 2.0 era, and the midweek victory over Lecce wasn't much better.

Hell even Szczesny said to reporters after the match today that the team realized early in the 2nd half that they should stop playing and just ensure that they get a point. The players are fully indoctrinated to the Max mindset.

Fiorentina look pretty good so far and they'd be in third if they'd held onto their lead last week. The next six games are going to be a real test to see where their ceiling is (included are Napoli, an underperforming Lazio, Juve, and Milan).

They were doing so well earlier too playing aggressively. Ah well.

The problem with the current allegri iteration is that everyone knows how it ends if they sack him. Who can replace him at the price Juve can afford? You’d have to take a huge gamble on someone like Di Francesco (who has shown he can be good but he can also be insanely bad) or get someone from another league, which is likely even harder to get right. I can’t imagine Juve’s next manager is going to be a big name given the financial issues at play.

Allegri’s Jihad-ball is good enough to get to the champions league and that’s what will keep him in place until his contract is up.

In keeping with tradition, the next Juve manager is probably gonna be Italiano :sigh:

Actually having watched Roma games, they actually attack alot and are not playing like a typical Mourinho terrorist football especially this season, they rank high in alot of attacking stats even before the 7-1 win over Empoli. The only game they looked meh was vs Milan but I would say Milan is a level above them so it wasn't that bad. The Genoa game they were the better side for most of the game and score 4-1 makes it seem like they got destroyed. Worrying thing is that Roma has faced mostly weaker teams so them dropping this many points is worrying once their fixture gets tougher. Also last season they had one of the best defenses but this year they can't seem to defend at all.

Ya my guess would be Italiano. I feel like this was the perfect season to get someone like Italiano, no European football, basic expectation is to get to CL thats it. He would have 1 year to get Juve to play his style and not worry about Europe. I am surprised Italiano is still at Fiorentina honestly, he seems similar to De Zerbi at Sassuolo to me a few years ago.Thiago Motta also has done well with Bologna with not much. Gasperini might just stay at a smaller club with lower expectations, he looked horrible at Inter but lookd great in Genoa and Atalanta.

Also De Zerbi is an outside shout, I feel like Man United and Juve might be options for him by the end of the season. I watch a lot of his interviews and i feel like he knows they kinda hit their limit with this squad, he is complaining way more about fixture congestion and his squad this season. I definitely feel like he will leave after this. Its gonna be really hard to top last year's position.
