They are certainly very comfortable here, 4-0 now. Fiorentina haven't really troubled them at all.

It wasn’t a contest at all.

Barca for me tonight. The other games seem to be going as predicted.

Gundog missing a couple of decent chances so far. Cancelo on the bench, probably having a tantrum.

Had to chuckle at your last statement.

Last game I saw of them, was the Villareal one but I watched the game during the week. Quite a good one as it had goals but their games can be drab as hell.

Vlahovic, fails to make it 2-0 from the spot. Missed pen but Empoli are not exactly causing Juve any trouble.

Goalie did well to save it, perhaps not the best penalty but he reacted well.

Vlahovic had so much promise at some point. Well, maybe if he played under a different type of coach, things would improve but he doesn’t look as confident as when we played for Fiorentina.

No he hasn't really set the world on fire at Juve. At one time it appeared as though the footballing world was talking about him and Haaland, who was best and where they would both turn up. I remember reading an interview with him where he said they were very similar players and it was difficult to say who was best. That certainly isn't the case now.

Similarities in hype but their play styles are so different.

Doesn’t matter now. One is a cyborg and the other a mere mortal.

Osasuna equalise against Barca. Lovely goal too.

Didn’t see Lecce finishing 4th before the international break but they’ve done well.
