This was rescheduled due to the snow and thus you could see Juve were not planning with the same accuracy in their play and were often sloppy in their passing and allowing Parma to get possession of the ball. If The Old Lady had one this they could have returned to the top of the table with a game in hand, yet Juve dropped two points and remain a point behind Milan, who are currently on good form and getting better at the right time.
Juve had over 6o% possession with 17 shots but only 4 were on target. The game was at a very high tempo and went by very fast, but the problem with having this quick style of play is that you start to lose patience. And this is when you can get sloppy and give away cheap free-kicks in dangerous areas, and Parma can do some serious damage- don't let their mid table situation fool you as " the Atomic Ant" almost punish Juve on a couple of occasions, his close ball control is amazing, we should have never let him go, but hopefully if he gets more playing time he will only get better and that can only be good for the Azzurri.
At the dying ends of the game, Andrea Pirlo claimed that he should have got a penalty, I saw that and as a Juve fan I can sat that it wasn't a penalty. Just the way Pirlo went down after getting the slightest of touches, he went down as though he was shot- it was embarrassing especially from such a talented player like him, and he even had some very good shots on goal!
And the scenes after the match, with pink shirts surrounding the referee-that is something I hope doesn't become a regular thing. Show everyone you still have what it takes by beating Catania on Sunday! Don't whine to the referee.... leave that sort of play for Inter!!!
