Juventus played out a goalless draw against Roma at the Allianz Stadium this evening, a result that left the Bianconeri reflecting on missed opportunities.
Under the management of Thiago Motta, Juventus entered the match with high hopes after two convincing 3-0 victories to start the season. However, the team struggled to find their rhythm against a resolute Roma defence.
The match was marked by a lack of clear chances, with both teams managing only one shot on target throughout the 90 minutes. Juventus dominated possession but failed to convert it into meaningful opportunities, showcasing a frustrating inability to break down Roma’s organised backline. Motta’s tactical approach, which emphasises attacking football, seemed stifled as the players struggled to execute their game plan effectively.
There appeared to be a lack of creativity and ideas at times and this could be an issue against bigger teams, it is easy to get big wins against the minor sides but the lads will need to find a way of breaking down more organised defences if they are to mount a title challenge.
Despite the draw, Juventus remains unbeaten in their opening three Serie A matches, sitting on seven points. The team will need to improve their finishing as they prepare for upcoming fixtures.
I don’t know what happened since the last match. Why didn’t we want to attack for 70 minutes??? It was horrible to see, it seemed Allegri’s team is back.
It seemed that we wouldn’t have scored a goal in 24 hours. This shit needs to be forgotten quickly, the guys should work a lot…
It reminded me Allegri 2, very tedious game.
We can’t even go through the midfield in the first half. Both Loca and Fagioli are average players and u can’t play them together as two anchor. They can neither dribble nor run forward, which is very hard to break an organized defense.
DV9 is disappointing in more than half of the games he played but hard to get rid of by his ridiculous wage. He is way too slow and keeps wasting chances. Might be the worst transfer ever.
Agree. 🙁
I said before the season that Fagioli is overrated. And Locatelli is an average midfielder too.
I understand that Koop is just arrived, but I didn’t understand why wasn’t Douglas Luiz in the starting 11. But the least understandable thing for me was how everyone could have such a bad day at the same time. I didn’t see a good pass in the match.
Fagioli and a couple of others were supposed to be a link with build up but there was all kinds of errors, that`s why it might seem like we were broken at times. We have to be patient it`s only the 3rd real test for a new team, we will get better.
Chill guys, give him time. the team is new. in the second half none of the players had played a single match together before. I think Motta’s team is good. Juve shouldn’t have let Chiesa go so easily though. He could easily break defenses. Yildiz doesn’t really pass when he should , Mbangula is a good player but it’s different against better teams. It was no way like Allegri. Allegri would order players to defend . These guys were trying to charge against Roma, there was just not enough creativity and boldness in attack. Juve will improve for sure, and will get better results compared to Allegri to this season. I’m sure. But we will miss Chiesa for sure
