Parisi should have cut that ball out, I don’t know why he hesitated

Nonsense, it was a good move by Lukaku. This isn't Foosball, you are allowed to use your body/arms to get into a better position. If anyone thinks that's a foul then it's true what those old heads say, people have gotten soft.
If Adriano or Vieri did that move I’d be praising the shit out of them. And we’ve seen them have stronger physical moves than that to score, this was nothing in comparison.

Gobbi are very difficult to break. Their football can be ugly but it works for them. Teams have to spit blood to break their defence, except Sassuolo :lol:

Ref is a piece of shit. How many harsh fouls Kostić needs to do to get yellow card?

This is the best I’ve seen Juventus play in the build up. They actually look like they have patterns of play.

In usual their game isn't as competitive as it seems tonight. So blame it on Viola's incompetence to make gobbi look somewhat entertaining.

But their defending is damn good. We need to boost our levels because it's gonna be a heavy battle.

Embarassing stats for Rube, 1 shot 1 goal total defending only 000000's, but still leading.

Nobody grinds results like Allegri does. It's infuriating. Horrible football.

Juve will get another at the 60th and that’ll be that. I’m going to play Uncharted 4 again.

Viola was close to equalize it. Biraghi's freekick and Ranieri's header just now. I don't see them coming back in this one, sadly.

Hopefully I am wrong.

Fiorentina can get a draw here. I don’t see a win for them but I could see a 1-1.

They can also concede, very easily.

Gobbi are just poor offensively in overall, otherwise Viola gets exposed so much in the back. It's normal to get caught off guard at the back while going all out attack, but you need to be at least smart enough to cover areas in case you get exposed, sadly Viola lacks this big time.

But a draw would have been a pleasant result considering how things went so far.

seems like it could be a 2 horse race for this scudetto. Milan for now is out, they need to start winning games and hope that the 2 teams will start droping points.. next games gonna be crucial for everyone. If Milan continues playing like this soon they are out. IF they win the next 2 games and Juve Inter ends in a draw, things look diffrent again probably.

Don't have one.
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.
