A really weak Serie A from the winners down to the relegation spots.

And we still couldn't get in the top 4. We have a lot to fix. The one positive is that as things stand you don't need to be a good team to do well in the league.
Spot on, couldn’t have said it better.

to me it isn't. we had many close calls including last seasons and the pirlo season. lots of luck went our way those 2 years.

this time the luck ran out and when the quality was called on it wasnt there.
The quality was still enough to beat the likes of a relegated Verona or Fiorentina or Sassuolo over the last month, just a win out of those and we might have just made it again… aside from the mental aspect and quality issues it’s just as much the way we’ve prepared and been set up in those games that made it an even bigger uphill battle for us.

Also although i know you don’t like to admit it but the amount of refs errors that went against us was not exactly luck either, neither now nor in the previous seasons.

lots of words you mentioned but 1 win in last 5 and 5 wins in last 10 games playing once a week show there is no quality.

Nah man, we needed a penalty to beat Venezia last year or the one before.
And so on, Lion is right, we have been at the same spot for the past couple of years and we were fortunate to qualify, this year not so much. We were horrible i will not disagree, but had it not been for Di gregorio we would be playing in CL next year for sure.

Nobody disagrees on that notion, but what you don’t seem to factor in is the lack of quality of our competitors too.

hence the comment the luck ran out. they got some lucky calls, deflections, injuries and so on.

so when time came for quality of juve to shine, there was no quality to rely on.

We’ve had our fair share of luck too no doubt, but also just as much bad luck due to individual errors and VAR bias, which had been the case in each of the previous seasons too, even if those individual errors weren’t always as blatant or as recurring by one individual such as those made by MdG.

Let’s agree to disagree, i won’t even be defending the quality of this squad, not even compared to the Como’s or Fiorentina’s of this league because they are just not worth it.

but help me understand. you and others say locatelli, cambiaso, vlhaovic, gatti aren't good players. but now you say that juve has quality for top 4.

so which one is it? either the players are good, or they are not good.

They are simply not good enough to be pillars in a team that wants to win or seriously challenge for the Scudetto, but as evidence shows they’ve still been good enough for us to finish 4th with for many seasons in a row now.

There are levels to it, it’s not just black or white.
