Dropsh*tting again? Numbers do not lie, though, so let’s have a clearer look to debunk some myths:

http://www.footcharts.co.uk/index.cfm?task=basics_fouls&league=SP1&venue=T&season=12/12/2019

1- Top teams from PL, La Liga and Serie A all average 7 shots on target per game (City, Lpool, Real, Barca, Juve) ... therefore it is a matter of conversion instead of number of chances, right??

2- Top teams from PL are involved with half fouls per game (7 for / 7 against) compared with Serie A (14 for / 14 against), with La Liga tops being at 12/12 ... hence the “free flow” & pinball impression against the slow & farmers’, right?? If referees whistle 28 times per game, the effective time played is much less in Italy than England.

3- it is not reported there the number of knocks or contacts, which is more than double in Serie A... this also explains very well why so many Serie A players are sidelined week in week out because of pesky / traumatic injuries, right??

If you all want Tapinaldo scoring galores, you need to convince the Pinball League to pay him €31m/year net.

Funny how much crap you talk about Ronaldo when he has single handedly dominated your club on multiple occasions. You look at stats a lot and dont take things at face value. Watch Juve play and its like watching paint dry the chances they make that your claim they need to "convert" are not great chances. There build up play is poor and there creation in the final third is not good either. The very last and I mean very least of your worries is Ronaldo.

Also judging by the Juve forum you are in the minority of people who believe he is the problem. You don't have a world class coach you have a decent one who does not know what to do with the pieces around him.

"Tapnaldo" is not only a false statement but also a wildly stupid and childish one.
 
"Tapnaldo" running rings over your Juve. Have some more respect.

 
Sunset boulevard, you know? The day he flies to China, Dubai or the US, goals galore will happily happen again.
 
:lol: the football IQ of some on here is lower than I thought.

Its ok "Sarri ball" will save Juve....come back Allegri you are forgiven.
 
“Tapnaldo” as the kids say, at it again with his 3rd game in a row scoring. Seems to be hitting form at the right time.
 
"Tapnaldo" at it again it seems.

Maybe Italy is the new USA, and china? Those are the only places goals galore will happen again apparently for him.
 
Thought that was nice 2 finishes today. Hes still very mobile.
 
His quality was never in question. He’s still the same player he was 2 years ago for me. He just needs competent personnel around him who can supply him with the correct service. Even after today’s game, I’d still argue that there’s still another dimension they could get out of him if they had able crossers of the ball to utilise his aerial prowess. Juve rarely exploited the channels or crossed the ball today. All the play seemed to go through the middle.

This is great though. Juve were lacking this kind of football last season. A lot of crossing, but very little of actually playing some goddamn good football to get through the middle of the field.

Today the game was all through the middle, and they can actually pull off this kind of football as well with Dybala playing behind both strikers, which for me always has been the right place for him to play in this team.

Now what Juve and Sarri need to do is mix this up with crosses. As shown vs Atlético last season, Ronaldo can win games with his head, as long as they put balls to him. Last year Juve's game was too much crossing, this year is too little crossing. Mix up both styles and keep playing these 3 fellas together, with Douglas Costa mixed in as well, and we might start seeing them have a chance at the CL.

He will score goals if team provided him with chances. Last night he could have scored 3 or 4 goals if lucky (one hit the post, the other force a good save from keeper). His finishing and movement is still top top class, and he also will creates chances for his teammates (usually with quality cross). The only thing he has regressed maybe is his athleticism and stamina recovery, and abit of pace. He is still quick enough to make good movement running into space ahead of most defenders though. But it seems he need to take longer time to recover from each sprint/run, when compared with his peak.
 
Funny how certain users tried to convince everyone that Messi overall much superior contribution is only an aesthethical thing since apparently it is way easier to create chances for Cristiano which is why players like Kroos, Modric and Marcelo look so fantastic. Just cross the ball roughly into his dirextion and he'll magically end up in the back of the net. But when things don't work out for him, it's suddenly that Juve are too destructive.

Not a dig against Cristiano by the way, just against some of his fanboys. He's doing great at Juve, IMO, and I expect him to keep going for another two years. Scoring tgis amount of goals is more than you could ever expect at his age so nobody should ask him to create the chances on his own on top of that. The criticism was too harsh the last few weeks. Almost seems like some in here never learn.
 
What a jumping header. Once Juventus start putting in cross, Ronaldo will start scoring those header.
 
Where is that Juve supporter who said “Ronaldo could only score goals in China now”? That comment did not age well at all.

But dam Ronaldo is hitting his from at the right time per usual!
