When looking at Juve's situation under the microscope:

- De Ligt out 3 months
- Sandro out 2 months
- Dybala not fit until yest (nowhere close to 100%)
- McKennie Covid
- Ronaldo Covid
- Chiesa, Kulu, Arthur, Frabotta in a new team w/ no preseason
- New coach with 0 experience

Despite this, we have played far better than we did last season, are still undefeated, won our first CL match with ease, and have given some valuable early minutes to players like Frabotta, Kulusevski, Portanova, Vrioni, etc.

I can't say I can complain too much at this point.

The most damaging this to this team at this point, is the toxicity of our fanbase.

I understand the desire for constant results, given our domination over the past decade, but this isn't FIFA. Outside factors absolutely affect the way a team plays and performs.

And this year, unfortunately for Pirlo because it's happening at the worst possible time, he's been dealing with a ton of those factors. He was dropped into a team low on confidence, with no preseason to build that and chemistry, and with a sack of injuries.

Patience is key.
