This is the shittiest Juventus side I've seen in the last three or four years. I think even Allegri's last year at Juve wasn't so dreadful.

I don't know who's playing there against Torino, but it isn't Juve.

Is it Pirlo? or the players? or both?
Juventus should on paper be one of the favorites on all fronts but instead they feel dead inside.

I think it's mostly the coach. The team managed to turn it around, but honestly they look confused on the pitch, the team isn't balanced and the constant rotation of roles is not helping.

Thankfully Alex Sandro is back and is giving the team more defensive solidity and balance, but honestly, Pirlo needs to get his shit together, stop it with hybrid formations the players don't understand and that he does not have time during training to explain, and go with something more simple, more defined roles on the pitch that's easier for the players to execute.

Pirlo is the stubborn type I feel he won't change and instead ask the players to get better at executing his vision.
Yes he will either get sacked or relegated back to the youth/second team.

Honestly I'm just tired of the yo-yo performances, it feels like the team gets results despite of the tactics and not because of it.

There is a rift between the players and the manager that is clear for all, what the club will do about it is the question: sack the manager or kick the players out.
Most likely sack the manager.

Mino Raiola: "Zlatan is in such good shape sometimes he continues to do push ups when I am sitting on him, and you know I am not light. He can play on until he’s 50 years old, but he only wants to play at the top level."

Raiola: 'Ibrahimovic is 90 per cent of Milan' | Football Italia

Agent Mino Raiola maintains Zlatan Ibrahimovic âresuscitated Milan and is 90 per cent of that team,â while his time at the LA Galaxy was âa pity.â The 39-year-old is currently the Serie A Capocannoniere and his teamâs leading scorer in the Europa League too.

[OptaJose] 2 - Atléti have only conceded two goals after their first 10 LaLiga 2020/21 games, the joint-lowest figure at this stage of the season in LaLiga ever (alongside Deportivo de La Coruña in 1993/94). Invulnerable.

[Romano] Mino Raiola to Tuttosport: “I can say that it’s over for Paul Pogba at Manchester United”. 🔴



[Romano] Mino Raiola: “I think that the best solution for both Pogba and Man Utd is that he goes in the next transfer window. If not, the Old Trafford club know that they risk losing him on a free transfer as it is not Paul's intention to extend his contract”.



Please don't come to Real Madrid

[Romano]Raiola on Haaland's future:“I can’t talk about Haaland release clause. Rumors say Real Madrid want him? This is not new to me... but he is very happy with Borussia Dortmund. Erling wants to win the UCL. When he’ll leave the club, it will be for his ambition and not for money”.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has “the talent of Lionel Messi and the willpower of Cristiano Ronaldo”, says Mino Raiola, with the AC Milan striker told he would have eight Ballons d’Or if a public vote determined the recipient of that prize.

I don't think he will.

Luka Modric is willing to continue even with a reduced salary, knowing that the economic situation is tightening. His wish, so often expressed is to retire at Real Madrid. And at 35 years of age and at this level, he is showing that he still has the sense to be an important player.
