Napoli V Juventus

Well, we all saw this coming. For the last few games at least they were riding their luck and only Andrea Pirlo's free- kick and the ever enthusiastic Carlos Tevez came to the rescue! But when Pirlo was muzzled for large portions of the game and Tevez wasn't their they showed a little weak, which Napoli had the quality and " killer instinct" to capitalise on. Fernando Llorente had a poor game as his touch was poor at times, it may be tiredness but I think " The Lion King" has forgotten how to roar as he has become slightly reliant on passing the ball to Tevez and seeing him score.

 I think this over reliance on Tevez may be affecting Llorente. Antonio Conte must not fall into the trap of depending on one player, yes Vucinic did make a difference when he came on but Juve were still not showing that killer instinct and were giving away possession too easily. Arturo Vidal had a particularly bad game. Injuries have tied Conte's hands which means he is forced to play basically the same starting 11 for each game, and as we have seen recently, this will take its toll. But as Gigi Buffon said how they react to this defeat will tell us whether they are champions.

  FINO ALLA FINE, FORZA JUVENTUS!
