Juventus in big danger of missing out on CL now. Just lost 1-0 at home to Benevento and if Napoli win later will only be two points off 5th and they have a tricky run in.

Fair to say the Pirlo experiment hasn't been a great success so far.

Saw the last 15 minutes and Benevento defended resolutely. Ronaldo is a greedy sod though.

I think they still have a game vs Napoli as well to play. Agnelli gets all the shit he deserves

Pirlo appointment makes sense but the wrong man

Our buddy Weston McKennie throwing a party where among others Paulo Dybala and Arthur Melo attended. All suspended by the club for the Turin derby this weekend.

Footballers are morons.

title race is over now but Juventus might struggle to get into the top 4. REarranged game with Napoli this week who will go 3 points above them if they win and have a much better head to head record

**** off Milan you dickheads.

Throwing away any chance they had of winning Serie A with shit results against mediocre teams (plus **** Inter).

More annoyed about them losing than I am about Villa.

Knobheads.

They lost it the 2 games vs Atalanta and Inter. Were torn apart but injuries in recent weeks didn't help

Kessie thiugh has become a top clsss midfielder, might be hard to keep him

Yea, Kessie was quite poor last season.. as in.. ineffective - he seems to have added that to his game (quite a few peno's though).  Hopefully he can kick on. 

Just so wasteful though, Tonali isn't looking comfortable either, after coming with a broken reputation of a wonderkid. 

Kjaer or Kessie probably my picks for this season - and Zlatan has definitely helped, when he's been available.  Rebic has to bring consistency too, he's wasted huge amounts of opportunities at key moments, as much as I like him.  Leao too, to a lesser degree. 

And whilst I'm at it, Theo's form has dipped somewhat, but he's been mostly fantastic this year - I'd love Villa to get him!

Calhanoglu I think has been as effective as Zlatan but also injured. Bennacer another one, cant keep them fit. They have a good young core if can keep Donnarumma, Romagnoli, Kessie, Bennacer, Leao and Saelemakers

Theo is great going forward but defensively poor, Chiesa tore him apart a few weeks back 😞

Bennacer seems a bit lightweight to me, but he's techically sound.  He does seem to become a bit of a shrinking violet if he gets pressured aggressively. 

As you say though, they've bought quite a few young "wonderkids" - it's how long they can keep them.  Calhanoglu looks like he either wants a massive pay rise, or out as well.. Which is swell considering where he came from not long ago..

I may be missing something here, has he been injured? Is this just saying he's fit? Have they got a big game coming up? If so I hope they lose.

Signed a 1 year contract extension. Contract now runs until summer 2022, same €7m per year salary as this year.
