[Slow death]

Juventus 0 - 1 Empoli

without cristiano ronaldo it seems to me that in the next games juventus will just make me cry, as a juventus fan i'm very sad about this season, honestly it will be a disastrous season and i'm not seeing anything to improve in the future

Lazio 6 - 1 Spezia

 

Lazio was very inspired

Atalanta 0 - 0 Bologna

strange that Atalanta, who is known for scoring a lot of goals in the games he plays this time, has not been able to score 1 goal against a team that is not very strong.

What happen with Juventus tonight? will be shock after leaving by Cristiano Ronaldo and they loss with underdog team Empoli

Allegri seems trying a new strategy but unfortunately it is unsuccessful. I don't know why he didn't put Morata as the starter, Morata should play since the early of the match. I think one of the mistakes done by Allegri today, is choosing the wrong starting lineup.

what wrong with Juventus with two match without success win and get draw and loss.

Very bad start. They have 1 draw and 1 lose already. I think it is one of the worst early seasons of Juventus. With many quality players on the squad, they don't deserve to get these results. Now, all people must think about the coach, Allegri. Does he still deserve to manage Juventus?

[Ratash]

If Juventus want to give their fans believe that they can do without Cristiano Ronaldo, losing to empoli isn't it, Messi Left Barcelona and they haven't yet lost a La Liga match, juventus has had exciting Seria A reputation even before Ronaldo, I expected a win against Empoli today at Turin with stars like Dybala, chiesa, Cuadrado and more, I would be avoiding placing bet including juventus to win in it for now.

In my opinion the problem is more than cristiano ronaldo they were doing great even before he came and they won the serie A multiple times in a row so i think they have problems thats why cristiano left the team and weve seen that in this game even with all the stars and good players like chiesa cuadrado rabiot and many more  they still couldnt even get a point and with poor finishing skills they lack a good striker and it has been for a long time and as we know ronaldo is a winger he is just too good and score a lot of goals i think thats what juventus are missing a good striker and some new defensive strategies.

What an embarrassing result for Juventus! They couldn't even beat Empoli here and they even lost to them 1-0 home. I know that Ronaldo is not at the team anymore. But it doesn't matter in this game. Juventus shouldn't have difficulty in beating an opponent like this. They were doing awesome before Ronaldo came here also. They can still do so.

[nelson4lov]

What's going on today with high scoring results in top leagues lol, Lazio delivering 6 goals to Spezia, Bayern 5 goals vs Hertha and City 5 vs Arsenal!
Atalanta failed to get 3 points vs Bologna but the most surprising part is to see Juve 1 goal behind Empoli at least in this first half

I'm not surprised with Arsenal and Juventus's results. Juventus has been poor in the past two seasons and it was just Ronaldo that was aiding the team to win games. Now that he's gone, they don't have anyone that would be willing to go out of their way to help the team come out of difficult situations like they were after going 1-0 down against empoli. Before Juventus will adjust to not having Ronaldo in their team, it might be Milan's title already. Great games today.

Let's not judge by the first rounds. Juventus has enough time to improve the situation in the domestic championship. I don't think Juventus has enough time before the end of the transfer window to make important acquisitions in the defensive and offensive lines on the flag, so Allegri will have to make do with the material that is available at the moment. On the one hand, the club's management seemed to have foreseen the consequences of the decision not to renew the contract with Ronaldo after next season, but it turns out that the club was not 100% ready for the situation to unfold at such a speed. However, excluding the situation with Ronaldo on other lines, the composition was considered quite good before the start of the championship.

Let's not judge by the first rounds. Juventus has enough time to improve the situation in the domestic championship.

The last season is the first one Juventus lost Scudetto after many years. In previous seasons, they sometimes have bad starts but at the ends they won Scudetto. I agree that we should not under estimate the strength of Juventus.

I don't think Juventus has enough time before the end of the transfer window to make important acquisitions in the defensive and offensive lines on the flag, so Allegri will have to make do with the material that is available at the moment.

Allegri needs time to work with players and brings Juventus back to where they were in last one decade. Juventus will dominate Serie A again, if not in this season, it would be in next season.

On the one hand, the club's management seemed to have foreseen the consequences of the decision not to renew the contract with Ronaldo after next season, but it turns out that the club was not 100% ready for the situation to unfold at such a speed. However, excluding the situation with Ronaldo on other lines, the composition was considered quite good before the start of the championship.

I agree that the transfer of Ronaldo at very end of transfer season causes trouble for Juventus. They don't have enough time to buy other striker to replace Ronaldo. I think Juventus will have to find strikers in Serie A in the last days of transfer season. If they can not find any striker, their strength will be affected.

Juventus 0 - 1 Empoli

Bad days for Juventus, all gone now, they must forget,  time is running out. the only way to fix it is by buying another player to replace Ronaldo's position. but, It's hard with tight time, furthermore when buying Hazard, I don't know how much money they will pass, possibly over 28M and they don't get the profit.

maybe this session is time for AC Milan. they are more competent and complete from the last session. with Giroud, they look confident.

@blue snow what if Ronaldo realised that Juventus team had no potential to compete for the title, and that Allegri magic wasn’t gonna work this time and that’s why he left at the right time. Also refresh my memory didn’t RM buy Hazard as a replacement for Ronaldo just remind me how well it went, oh wait isn’t that transfer an absolute disaster till today’s date, so why is Juventus keen to repeat this mistake.

Inter Milan is currently the favorite for me this season. The opening game 4:0 against Genoa played great and game 2 was won 3:1 against Hellas Verona. One thing they will miss this season "Romelu Lukaku" 24 goals last season. As a replacement Edin Dzeko, I do not think so. I always thought there comes another star, with the 115 million of lukaku sale and the 60 million of Hakim you can buy someone very good player.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Juventus got another surprising result I'm afraid. They had one of their easiest game of the season but they were beaten by Empoli home 1-0. Actually Juventus still seemed the far better side. Empoli found the goal quite early and tried to secure a win. I was seeing it like not very probable but here we are. And the game of the day was Lazio - Spezia I believe. With Immobile's superb performance (hat-trick), they demolished Spezia 6-1.

[Woodie]

Just catching up with what happened yesterday and I see we have a surprise result, Juventus lost their home match to Empoli by one goal to nil. Could this be because of the Ronaldo effect? Hard to say but looking at the stats of what transpired you can see that Juventus threw everything they had at the game,they had over 20 shots at goal and enjoyed more ball possession, but unfortunately the day was never going to be theirs...Hope they move on and find their feet to win games.

Losing at home is really embarrassing especially against Empoli totally unexpected chaos is happening to Juventus
I don't know what's going on there but I hope this doesn't last long so that Inter can find a worthy competitor

Milan are going to have a home game against Cagliari tonight. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was injured for a long time but he bounced back today as it seems. However, it is not certain whether he would be fit enough to play in this game. This is still an easy game for Milan with or without him. I think that they will win this game by 2 goals at least.

[Karartma1]

Yesterday I think we all witnessed the worst Juventus ever seen on the pitch!
Juventus with only one point after two games it's something we could've never expected and I'm glad I didn't place any bet on that game.
Juventus supporters booed the team loudly at the end of the first half and at the end of the match for a performance not considered up to the mark. If against Udinese were two mistakes of the goalkeeper Szczesny to weigh on the final result, against Empoli was the whole team to not convince, with Allegri quite irritated and nervous on the bench. Allegri's not helping Juve right now while the top rivals of the Bianconeri keep on winning.

We are starting today's games with these ones:

Genoa vs Napoli
Sassuolo vs Sampdoria

Napoli defeated Venezia 2-0 on the first week. And Genoa are another easy opponent for them. Even if it is an away game, Napoli shouldn't have much problem on demolishing their opponent. When it comes to Sassuolo, they are the favorite team of this game. They started with the 3-2 Verona victory. And there is no hindrance for them to defeat Sampdoria here also.

[Altryist]

Juventus is very actively looking for a replacement for Ronaldo, the main candidates: the 24-year-old Brazilian striker of Manchester City Gabriel Jesus, and two forwards of London Arsenal - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexander Lacazette, and also returned from loan to PSG Italian striker “Everton” Moise Keene. If Juventus managed to get Jesus and Aubameyang, it would be a great deal for Juventus. Although Ronaldo is a great player, he is not getting younger every year.

Milan are going to have a home game against Cagliari tonight. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was injured for a long time but he bounced back today as it seems. However, it is not certain whether he would be fit enough to play in this game. This is still an easy game for Milan with or without him. I think that they will win this game by 2 goals at least.

In the first match Milan managed to beat Sampdoria, although without being strengthened by Zlatan Ibrahimovic. So I believe Milan can win
the game against Cagliari even without Ibrahimovic. Cagliari is in terms of player quality is still below Milan, but that does not mean Milan
can underestimate Cagliari. If we look at Cagliari when they faced Spezia, they fell behind by 2 goals first, but surprisingly Cagliari scored
two goals and the game ended in a draw. Moreover, surprisingly Juventus were defeated by Empoli, meaning Milan cannot underestimate
weaker opponents.

It is early to say which team will be favorite basing in the first round. Inter is doing great so far but its opponents weren't that fit. Lazio scoring big but I don't think they will keep performing that way for a long time. Milan is supposed to have a good season but didn't show until now so. All eyes on Roma under Mourinho management and for Juve 1 point from 6 is indeed a bad start but the team will count on itself without CR7 and might improve better under Allegri. We will have a better vision by the 6th round at least.

Great beginning for Inter Milan but two matches are not enough to say they will be fine without Lukaku. 36 more matches till the end and I think Inter Milan have to work very hard to get a position in top 4. Roma are likely very strong with Mourinho and they will make the competition for top 4 very tough.

It is early to say which team will be favorite basing in the first round. Inter is doing great so far but its opponents weren't that fit. Lazio scoring big but I don't think they will keep performing that way for a long time. Milan is supposed to have a good season but didn't show until now so.

We will have a better vision by the 6th round at least.

Roma and Mourinho have honey-moon time but Mourinho has problems to control his emotion and sometimes he triggers internal conflicts that are never good things for club. I wish that Mr Special will revive his career in Roma and bring the first Scudetto to Roma next year.

Lazio still rely too much on Immobile and they won't go far with this depedence. Immobile is not a striker for big matches and Euro 2020 is very good example for Lazio. He is good but not belong to best strikers.

Juventus will have a few tough weeks ahead to get rid of Ronaldo effects and go next but I think they will be back soon with Allegri.

In the first match Milan managed to beat Sampdoria, although without being strengthened by Zlatan Ibrahimovic. So I believe Milan can win
the game against Cagliari even without Ibrahimovic. Cagliari is in terms of player quality is still below Milan, but that does not mean Milan
can underestimate Cagliari. If we look at Cagliari when they faced Spezia, they fell behind by 2 goals first, but surprisingly Cagliari scored
two goals and the game ended in a draw. Moreover, surprisingly Juventus were defeated by Empoli, meaning Milan cannot underestimate
weaker opponents.

AC Milan still need more time to prepare for a team without Ibra but they have to do so because Ibra will retire next 2 or 3 seasons. That last match of Cagliari shows that they are very strong mentally and don't give up too easily. So AC Milan will have to play this match very carefully and if they are careless, Cagliari will punish Milan mistakes.

In this season, it's interesting to see how AC Milan defense system will work without Gigi Donnarumma.
