Milan is not out of the Scudetto. Neither is Napoli. It's going to be a clearer picture when gameweek 19 ends.

We have only 1 really reliable striker (who can score even on a bad night) and a player who is playing his second season as a striker. We don't know the ramifications of Pavard's injury. We don't know when Dimarco's slump ends. What if Hakan gets injured? Or Sommer?

The season still has a long way to go, but so far we proved we can do this.

I dont feel sorry for Fiore. Its so obvious they lack quality upfront to harm rubentus.Well, when you sell your best strikers to them you deserve spanking against them every time you play. Fuck off

Honestly, still don't see juve as serious contenders. Their game plan is just too pathetic. This grind and defend stuff can work if you have huge individual quality, which they don't. Probably good enough for a comfortable top four spot, and that's it.
tbh though if they keep grinding out 1-0 wins all the time, what are we gonna do? They're going through their bad phase right now, with some reinforcements in jan i know they'll still be allegriball, but at the end of the day, 95th minute 1-0 wins are 3 points on the board

i dont think they're a good team at all, but i think we can definitely be a bit worried about their threat.

Rube can win scudetto playing like this. They play same like Conte's Inter. Ugly football with ugly wins.

Inter played some champagne football under Conte. Don't fall over that "ugly football under Conte" propaganda.

Gobbi plays nothing like Conte's Inter. We were far more entertaining.

Ugh. Juve plays ugly, unfortunately they are dangerous too. Beware! Fiorentina 25 shots, 4 on target with 69% possession. Juve:4 shots, 3 on target with 21 fouls and 3 yellows.

What propaganda you are talking about? I watched all of that stinky decadent grind football. Yea, it gives results in Seria A, like in rube case. Champagne football? You are blind or you are joking.

There is a kind of "anti Conte's Inter" propaganda that has been going for a while among Inter related pages. Gotta admit that he failed miserably in European competitions, but his football during that time he coached Inter was quite entertaining though.

I'm actually deep serious. We had so much authority, we knew how to handle different situations (we do still) and most importantly we won Scudetto at that time.

Conte was defensive but i don't remember that we defended with 9 players. Juve today was acting like Inter 2010 against Barca.. but that was prime Barca and not fucking Fiorentina:lol: still remember how milanisti were crying about our conte football, wonder what they think about allegri that is much worse.

Fiorentina useless bag of dicks. Always gifting Juve 6 points, always selling them their best players.

If Juve let us have that much possession, it'll be a nightmare for them with the way we're playing at the moment.

However, Allegri has consistently wrapped up Inzaghi in the league over the past 2 years (obviously we've done them over in the cup), and Allegri's black magic is not to be overlooked. It'll be a horrible game I reckon.

How did those Bernardeschi, Chiesa, and Vlahovic transfers work out for Juve?

I don't know what kind of champagne you drink if you call Conteball Champagne football. It was effective and it worked for us those 2 years in the league but long ball to Lukaku -> Hakimi all the time wasn't pretty.

To be fair, that was only last season, was it not? In Inzaghi's first season, we took 4/6 points versus Juventus: 1-1 draw in Milano, and a 1-0 win in Turin.

Obviously, still a really tough matchup for us.

Oh that's much better than I remember! Hopefully this season looks more like that, as Inzaghi does usually love playing Juve.

Not true. We used to play very direct football whilst making beautiful combinations in the midfield. We moved the ball very well around the pitch and both Lukaku and Lautaro were a joy to watch with their unpredictable movements and first touches (mainly Lautaro). Bastoni was also far more decisive at that time with his through passes and so on.

I'm not going to bring up particular matches to prove you, but we did play nice football under Conte as well.

We need to accept the hard truth. Conte has managed to bring back the winning mentality among the players. Limone has done very well recently, but the foundation was there.

In fact we used to score VERY easily. These deep runs from our wingbacks were deadly as hell. Of course credit to Hakimi for doing incredible things but it's unfair to discredit Conte's work that he has done here. We had a proper plan. I'm not saying that we don't have anymore, but at least give credit while the team was getting the job done whilst pulling beautiful games.

Ugly football under Conte is a big lie that only ignorants buy it.

The victory we did get was straight up terrorist football where we looked horrible.

Yup - our one win under Inzaghi against Juve in Serie A was by far our worst performance against them. To be fair though, we did get unlucky in the home game that season, as they equalized from a very soft last minute penalty given by VAR. Although our win against them was also a somewhat soft penalty given by VAR :D

The market is not worried.
Let’s hope we stay consistent and injury free.
