Surely, EDB is out tomorrow. He can't survive such a thrashing. Not at fault at all though, as they didn't buy well in the summer.

I thought when they signed Olsen that he would be a backup. Never thought they would have him as first choice. His range on the line is terrible.
Think they got carried away by how good he looked behind Sweden's defence. Off his line he's nowhere near Alisson's level.

To be fair, Granqvist-Lindelof is one hell of a CB pairing. Even Karius would look midly competent behind them.

I agree but many international sides make players look better than what they are. It would be like signing the Northern Ireland keeper due to how good their backline has been over last 5 years.

Luis Muriel can be such a beast, when he decides to turn it on. Hope he stays in Serie A next year.
He seems to really be enjoying himself over their. His debut goals were world class.

Atalanta take a deserved lead over Juve.

Juve have been really sloppy two games in a row. Really struggle without Pjanic.

ZAPATA 2-0

Cancelo can be such an idiot sometimes. Great dribbler most of the time, but fancies dribblig a bit too much.

2-0

Allegri taking his jacket off. Players won't enjoy the half time talk. Nevermind, he is sent off :lol:

CL against Atletico without Chiellini and Bonucci would be fun.

No Pjanic and Juve might aswell play without a midfield.

Pjanic out, Bonucci out, Chiellini out, Manduzkic out... plus they benched Douglas Costa and Cancelo and for some reason sold Benatia.

Allegri has managed this team terribly in the past few weeks.

Playing a Rugani-De Sciglio centreback partnership 2 days after selling Benatia is hilarious.

I've not been watching Juve much but I still think Ronaldo needs a rest. He's played pretty much 90 minutes in every single game.

And Zapata finishes the job. Wouldn't be surprised to see Allegri walk after this season, unless Juve at the very least make it to the CL final again.

Turns out gifting goals to the opposition isn't a great strategy.

This result could end up being good for Juve, they needed a wake up call before Atletico tore them apart.

This Zapata fella is quite good. Him, Piatek and Chiesa are on form this season, they wont stay long at their clubs.

Atalanta were just too hot to handle, Zapata is an absolute machine.

Atalanta are the most fun team to watch in Serie A.

Also Duvan Zapata scored in last 10 games (in all competitions), 10 games - 17 goals.

Scored 4 vs Juventus in 2 games
1 vs Napoli, Roma, Lazio

Quagliarella scored in last 11 league games. Scored 14 goals

Juventus were due to lose badly. They have been shit since december. You can't always count on your best players to save you.

Not hating on Juve fans here, but last night's performance was one of our classic mourinho "master classes". They were absolutely dire and looked lost when being high pressed by Atalanta.

It should also be taken in consideration that they're missing a few players but hey, that was a pretty awful performacne.

Aye it's been a pretty trash game so far compared to the other QFs.
