Gianluigi Buffon
Made 2 decent stops and was rarely troubled otherwise, even when Juventus went down to 10 men.
6.5
Stephan Lichtsteiner
Looks like a new player playing in a back 4. Worked tirelessly and kept Keita in his pocket the whole night. Impressive.
6.5
Giorgio Chiellini
A perfect defensive peformance, kept the Lazio attack at bay with well timed tackles and clearances. Looked more of a leader than in previous performaces. Powerful.
6.5
Leonardo Bonucci
Made a few sloppy passes and clearances early on but was steadfast afterwards, Made some great headed clearances and improved as the game went on. Confident.
6.5
Simone Padoin
Another game at left back and another solid performance, despite the sendng off. Unfairly booked twice for two debatable offences and was brilliant up until that point.
6.0
Claudio Marchisio
Provided a perfect assist for the Tevez goal and does what he does best – Spread the ball around with ease and tracked back to help the defence when needed. Superb.
7.5
Andrea Pirlo
Another fine performance with 94% of his passes completed and kept Juve ticking over with a brilliant range of passes all over the pitch. Maestro.
7.5
Paul Pogba – MOM
Scored two gorgeous goals and deserved a third when his shot hit the crossbar. Absolutely immense performance tonight and Pogba looks to be relishing playing in this new look Juve midfield.
9.0
Roberto Pereyra
Played a peach of a though ball for Pogba’s second and caused all kinds of problems for Lazio from the first minute. Seems to be growing into his role and becoming a firm part of the starting XI.
7.5
Carlos Tevez
Ran and ran…and ran. Gave 100% for the entirety of his perfomance and scored yet another goal to go with his brilliant assist for Pogba’s opener. Apache.
8.5
Fernando Llorente
A frustrating night for the striker where he struggled to make his mark on the game. Tried to hold up the ball when he could and pulled defenders around to create space for his striker partner.
6.5
Substitutions
Alvaro Morata
Came on with the result already guaranteed and managed to cause Lazio porblems make his movement, even when Juve were down to 10 men.
6.5
Federico Mattiello
Came off the bench and gave another great cameo performance firing a great volley that bought a save from Marchetti. Futuro.
6.5
incredible game from Pogba. Just an impressive performance, just gets better with each season. We need to make the last 8 of the L to keep him around. Mattiello was great as well, almost a goal on his second cameo.
Defence also improving a lot. Better with each game, Bonucci and Chiellini far better in a back 4.
im gonna say it #InAllegriITrust
players seem to be in top form, hes finally left that difficult 3-5-2 formation, what hes saying to the media is class and he even trusts the youth.
i was so pessimistic about him coming in, but hes quickly changing my mind.
also, i love Conte and am grateful for what he did, but now, i feel it was the right thing for him to move on. he has a sick obsession with the 3-5-2 and he continues to show it with Italy. plus his coaching style has become overly controlling.
First the scudetto and Quarter Finals CL then Hail Allegri
hes doing faaaar better then i expected. we re playing football similar to that of Contes first season. thats praise worthy imo.
Exactly.. he has to prove much more than this. Well 2nd round cl and depending on which opponent we get.
I just hate to see his stubbonness carry on with the azzurri.. Seriously playing cerci, Candreva and El shawaary in wing back positions.. What the f*ck
Also hey john, how you doing? It’s been a while
Candreva actually did well as a wing back. great at sending in crosses
his stubborness will be the end of him. i dont know what happened, his first season with us, he used 4 different formations and had a team that played some of the best football ive ever seen. he has regressed in his coaching developmemt o guess.
and hello bestie. its been pretty borimg actually. ive done nothing of interests, unless you count working part time, watching shows on my phone, or a side of football interesting. i would go on an adventure to iceland, like that guy from switched at birth(a show), but i dont have that money! did you know they believe in elves in iceland? thats so cool. one of the reasons why i wanna go over there, plus i heard its a magical place and northern lights is something i need to see in my life time. oh and im finally found a way to watch Game of thrones last night! but i wasnt in the show watching mood and preferred listening to music.
You’re gonna tell them there are no elves and ruin their believes? 😀
No, i too am a believer of mystical creatures!
Excuse me. I did not mean to tell you they are not real.
You…… you’re alive 😐
also, it seems that Allegri has lifted the curse of the black shorts :p
That’s the Conte’s black shorts curse. 🙂
that’s why he chose to coach the azzuri’s, they don’t play in black shorts 😉

Can’t wait to see Juve agianst Atletico……but I have to pace myself, first Malmo … Forza Juve, Forza 4-4-2 or 4-1-2-1-1-1 or 4-3-2-1 or 4-5-1 or … heck I don’t care, Juve-Parma 7-0, Juve-Lazio 3-0 I love it 🙂
