Played very poorly, it's very discouraging I thought their performance against Udinese would really spark them and help them grow as a team.
I really dislike Palermo, especially their President who always has comments for Juve, so it makes the loss that much worse to me

It was just one of those games where nothing goes right but credit to Palermo they played very well and attacked Juve from the start, smart idea with how poor the defense has been
Adding these 3 goals that's:
1 conceded against Bari
3 to Samp
0 to Udinese
3 to Palermo

And Juve has scored
0 against Bari
3 against Samp
4 against Udinese
1 against Palermo

Just doesn't cut it

Not even including the 3-3 with Lech

I thought Molinaro was very inconsistent but he is better than De Ceglie and better than Grygera, we will wait and see how Traore does but he started off poorly in his Juve career already being injured.
Molinaro is no Maicon though, not even close.

I miss Thuram the most
I like the pairing of Chiellini and Bonucci
I like Motta going forward but he's been made mediocre a few times already defensively, especially by Cassano.
Grygera offers nothing going forward on the left, De Ceglie offers something going forward but lacks defensively for sure.

They need a real strong striker, Alex is my favourite player but he is given a far too large responsibility and lacks the pace to really lead the line however deadly he may be on set pieces.
Krasic is the best buy and Marchisio and Melo have turned out to be good partners in the center.
Pepe is another disaster technically but he runs his legs off and plays with his heart, I much prefer Candreva or Giovinco though.

Sissoko has been inconsistent as well, he looks sloppy at times but I'm a big fan
I think the cost to keep Caceres was too high but I liked him as well.
I miss Diego, Giovinco and Candreva as well.
Caceres even played LB for Uruguay and did well could you imagine:

---------Diego-----Amauri---------
-Candreva/Gio-Marchisio-Melo-Krasic-
-Caceres-Chiellini-Bonucci-Motta-
--------------Buffon--------------

With Aquilani, Quaglia, Pepe coming off the bench
I think this would be a dangerous team

Delneri talks with Pepe and proposed him in external defender ^^^ ( I think this last week XD )
Grygera for left defender
Delneri s not satisfied with Motta

Pepe as a defender? Trying to do what they did with Zambrotta

This next week could really show what kind of team Juventus is:

Juventus - Cagliari 9/26/10 7:45 PM BST
Man City - Juventus 9/30/10 8:05 PM BST
Inter Milan - Juventus 10/3/10 7:45 PM BST

I won't say it's make or break but it is important for the pride of Juve to get results in these games
Too much defeat will demoralize the team as we saw last year, they ended the season with nothing to play for
