Juventus 2022-23 Season Ratings: The Forwards

Following up with our season-ending Juventus grades, we now take a look at the forwards.And like pretty much every other position group, they had a mixed bag of a season.As I analyze this group, I can only think of two things:


Goddamn, did Juventus struggled to score - 44 goals by players in this position group and only one of them with over 10 scores;
And how many big names but little production they got out of them.

Juventus 2022-23 Season Ratings: The Goalkeepers

The 2022-23 season saw a lot of bad things happen on the field when it came to Juventus.The goalkeeper position was not one of those bad things.A season that saw a whole lot of wild inconsistencies from pretty much every position group doesn't include the likes of Wojciech Szczesny and Mattia Perin, the guys who very much are two of the best at their position in Serie A. They are, as deemed by our very own Hunter Sharpless, the best goalkeeper room in all the land, with somebody like Carlo Pinsoglio there to be the goofy best friend to everybody no matter how little of the field he knows he will see each season.

Manu's Grab Bag: The end, at last

In a lot of ways, it made sense that Juventus finished their season by playing out an uninspired, drab, barely there victory over a team that they are much more talented than in their third kits that had no link, nor identity with the history of the club.If that wasn't the 2022-23 Juventus in a nutshell ...
I can't remember the last time the general feeling of the Juventus faithful was of relief that a season has come to an end, much like you would do with a long sickness or maybe an injury rehab.
