Juventus have performed well in their first two matches and are capable of winning. was done However, we did not see Juventus players play well against Roma. Juventus could not win the match, the match was a goalless draw. I'm not sorry that the match was a draw, but Juventus' performance in this match was poor. Although the match was Juventus' home match, Juventus players were not able to perform well. And if Juventus' performance is so erratic, it will not be possible for Juventus to dominate Serie A.

Juventus look to play very disciplined under their new head coach Thiago Motta, but their problems are in attacking. In the first big clash in this season with Roma, at their home stadium, Juventus lacked of ideas to surprise Roma's defensive players and failed to invade into the opponent's defense and had to accept a draw. They have some good new attacking players who joined in very last days of summer transfer season, and these players will need some more weeks to adapt to Juventus.

The season is just starting, so we have to expect some funny results. Atalanta's loss to Milan was a surprise because they are the reigning Europa Champion and have some of the best players. The goal margin was too much for such a European champion and it shows that something is wrong with the team. Maybe they were a little bit distracted by the transfer window but thank God it is over.

This big defeat from Atalanta is a big shock for them as well as for us, because they did not play too bad against a very strong opponent like Real Madrid in UEFA Super Cub weeks as their debut in this season. This big defeat is like an accident of Atalanta and they will be able to recover from it as the season is long enough and gives them enough time and opportunities to come back after not too good start in this season in Serie A.

Roma might have some performance challenges in recent games but the club is a force in Seria A. Roma finished sixth last season and is currently competing in the Europa League. So I am surprised that the game ended in a draw. Genoa have always been an average team. They ended last season in the eleventh position and have clinched just four points in three games.

Roma struggled in early of season but a good performance against Juventus in a home-away match before the international break can give Roma confidence back. These break days for FIFA matches are also helpful for Roma to work in training sessions and prepare better for next matches in Serie A. They of course have some players who were called for international duties like other big clubs, but in general recent days are good chances for Roma and they can play next matches in Serie A better.
