Player Ratings: Juventus 0-1 Udinese, Alex Sandro’s nightmare, Chiesa lacks confidence

Juventus suffered a 1-0 home defeat against Udinese on Monday with Alex Sandro and Federico Chiesa among the most disappointing players at the Allianz Stadium.

Juventus

Szczesny 6 – Can’t be blamed for Udinese‘s goal.

Gatti 5.5 – Shaky in the build-up and not too confident defensively.

Bremer 6 – Received a yellow card in the first half for a foul on Samardzic, but it didn’t affect his performance.

Alex Sandro 4 – The Brazilian gifted the goal to Udinese with a clunky attempt to clear the ball in the first half.

Weah 4.5 – The USMNT winger started his first game in a month, but was never really dangerous and played more in central midfield than down the right wing. It’s no surprise he was the first Juventus player to be subbed off. (61′ Yildiz 5)

McKennie 5 – One of the most disappointing games of the season for the American midfielder who played the second part of the match as a right-back.

Locatelli 5 – Juventus didn’t move the ball quickly enough in the middle of the park. (77′ Nicolussi Caviglia 5.5)

Rabiot 5.5 – One shot on target in the first half, but played too far away from the goal after the break.

Cambiaso 6 – A decent first half where he created one goal-scoring opportunity wasted by Milik. A selfless performance from the Italian full-back, but not enough to win the game. (84′ Cerri N/A)

Chiesa 4.5 – The Italy international clearly needs to get his confidence back. The start was promising, but Chiesa only produced one shot on target and in the second half, even his crosses were disappointing. Not enough. (77′ Iling-Junior 5)

Milik 5 – The Poland international returned after a one-match ban, but wasted a big chance to level the score in the first half. Okoye denied him later on, and when he finally found the net in the second half, he was offside.

Coach: Allegri 4.5 – Juventus clearly lack confidence right now. Enthusiasm seems to have vanished and it was reflected in tonight’s performance. Third defeat this season and one point in the last three games. Disappointing is an understatement.

Udinese: Okoye 6.5; Perez 7, Giannetti 7.5, Kristensen 6.5; Ehizibue 6.5 (65′ Ferreira 6), Lovric 6.5, Walace 6.5, Samarzdic 7, Zemura 6.5 (66′ Ebosele 6.5); Thauvin 6.5 (77′ Brenner 6); Lucca 6.5 (77′ Success 6). Coach: Gotti 7.5
