Sevilla 1-0 Juventus – Profligate, yet spirited
December 9, 2015
If there was one player who would put us to the sword and still leave me smiling, or rather, avoiding the eagerness to roar and smash the screen, it was Llorente. I have always liked the Spaniard, not just for his selfless build-up play, ability to bring others into an attacking move and his outstanding […]
The Spanish Inquisition – Seville v Juventus Preview
December 7, 2015
When the draw was announced for the group stage of the Champions League I will admit I was a little worried. And this was before I watched us slump into a lethargy on the field domestically as the season drew close enough to embrace. For Man City with their billions bankrolling a fine selection of […]
Juve sign Alisson?
December 6, 2015
Gianluigi Buffon is not only a legend of the game, one of the finest goalkeepers ever to don gloves, he is also continuing to perform impeccably at the top level. He has proven a Titan for the sport and our club and we are so very fortunate to have him. His passion for Juve, his regal […]
Lazio 0 – 2 Juventus
December 5, 2015
Player Ratings Buffon Evergreen and majestic. Santo Buffon had a quiet night. Came for crosses with authority, handled the two shots which went straight at him with ease and tried to play the ball out short from the back whenever possible. Untested. 7 Lichsteiner Never troubled, firm in the challenge and tried to support the […]
Juventus Youth Sector Health Check – Are we failing or succeeding or somewhere in between?
December 1, 2015
Whilst Mandzukic was volleying home the winner against Manchester City and signs of life were appearing all over our senior squad offering, the little ones were striving in tandem, in a parallel realm… For those of you unaware, the UEFA Youth League is an U19 tournament which mirrors the champions league group stage. It has […]
Palermo 0 -3 Juventus
November 30, 2015
Palermo 0 – 3 Juventus Entering this game with a semblance of form and confidence after despatching Man City mid-week and our recent results – if not our performances – improving domestically Allegri decided to stick with the 3-5-2 swapping only the wide men. In came Evra and Cuadrado for Lichsteiner and Sandro. Setting themselves […]
Juventus Loans and Youth UPDATE – November 15′
November 18, 2015
Whilst the senior squad has been haphazardly drifting through troubled waters, dealing with the departure of key players, suffering our worst injury crisis for many moons with the new recruits failing to seamlessly fill in the gaps of talent and form, it is perhaps high time we turned our attentions to the youth sector. Hope […]
mangled muttering – Can juve turn the corner?
November 10, 2015
I suspect you would have got brilliant odds on Juve finding themselves 9 points off top with 12 games played, having only just managed to scrape together back to back victories for the first time season, in November. Yet does the recent run suggest an upturn in form is on the horizon? My instinct is […]
And so it begins…At last.
October 5, 2015
Finally it seems almost safe to look upon the season with hope. It has taken 6 weeks of torment, our worst start to a league campaign for 40 years and we find ourselves 10 points off the summit. Yet still, I am sure I am not alone in sensing a change in our fortunes. Losing […]
The trouble with Juventus…
September 15, 2015
It has indeed been a truly wretched start to the season. Whilst my focus has been very much elsewhere the tribalism I feel towards the club has remained potent enough to maintain a keen vigil even when consumed with other happenings. Supporting a club is supporting a cause, perhaps not the most righteous or heart-felt, […]
