.. Don't panic!!!! Now is the time to remain calm and show unity.
Things are not going as this Old Lady would want, first crashing out of the Coppa Italia and now this, chances of Juve getting their hands on any silverware are slipping away. One has to bear in mind all the injuries the Bianconeri have, this was a team that obviously weren't used to playing with each other, and that lack of familiarity leads to mistakes which the opposition team can then pounce on.
Chances were aplenty and it was evident both teams wanted a win, but just because you want it, doesn't mean you will get it, as Juve were painfully made aware. It was end to end stuff,Udinese played very attacking football and shown no sign of giving way. But it was Juve that struck first with a magnificent volley by Claudio Marchisio, he had also scored in the 4-0 drumming of Udinese earlier in the season.
However celebrations were cut short as Zapata had equalised for Udinese and the fight was on yet again. The match was getting very heated and it began to sizzle when Alexis Sanchez put Udnise ahead. And lo and behold frustration reared its ugly head, and in the 87th minute Leonardo Bonucci was sent off. Juve were down to 10 men but they didn't suffer any disadvantage, because just a minute later Alexis Sanchez was sent off. But Juve could not conjure up any kind of fightback and it ended with Juve being booed off.
Juve know sit seventh with Palermo to play in midweek an if they want to stop this free fall, they will have to do something about their defending, they can't back off and give them space, they have to keep tight and remain focused!!
