Standard Juventus scrape a tough fought 1-0 win over Genoa

It’s far too early to evaluate Igor Tudor following Juventus’ hard-fought win over Genoa this night. Nevertheless, the gamers can definitely be assessed, and based mostly on right now’s efficiency, there seems to be little indication of any enchancment in comparison with what has come earlier than.

Each Max Allegri and Thiago Motta in the end did not mould this Juventus squad into winners of main honours, and it’s starting to really feel as if no supervisor will be capable to remodel this group into real title contenders.

Sure, Juventus secured all three factors, which is in the end crucial consequence, and a top-four end stays crucial. Nevertheless, what’s the level of qualifying for the Champions League if that is the extent of efficiency that continues to be delivered?

After yet one more underwhelming efficiency, it’s troublesome to really feel optimistic about their probabilities of securing victory in Rome subsequent week.
