Toni 21 and 23 goals at 37/38 years old

Di Natale put together 5 consecutive seasons of 28, 29, 26, 20, 18 goals after he turned 33.

Whoa. Those are all relatively impressive stats. Especially, Di Natale's. Shows consistency well into his 30s.

What impresses me about Cristiano is not his goal-rate in Juventus but how under Allegri he is far far more involved in build-up play to their attack than I have ever seen him elsewhere and seems to enjoy such a subtle but massive change for him.

No one can criticise him of being selfish again.

I mean, not to be all technical but the Ronaldo Serie A is seeing has been the same Ronaldo for the now final 3-4 seasons at Madrid. He honestly became a legit team player and I really wished this was him from the start but whatever, people grow at different stages in their lives.

Onto more significant things,

Cristiano Ronaldo is the first Juventus player to score 10 goals in his first 14 Serie A games at the club since 1957, when John Charles did the same during his debut season after arriving from Leeds United, via @capuanogio #CorSport

10 goals and 5 assists in his first 14 games. Going really strong

The 15 G+A assists on top of how well he plays throughout the game and how positive the whole thing looks

Can we also talk about how good he plays with Mandzukic and vice versa? One of the oddest matches from a personality standpoint but on the field, they are amazing together.

Mandzukic is the perfect complimentary player to CR7.

-Drops back when CR weaves inside with his unorthadox runs

-Holds the ball giving CR a reference point

-Perfects his darted runs into the box which draws out defenders for CR to exploit

And in return CR is always ready for the selfless pass that results in a accurate snapshot by Mandzukic for the finish.

Everyone that plays around Mandzukic, plays well. He is the perfect partner for everyone we've had since he came here, except for Higuain.

That's because Mandzukic is a beast.

the perfect complement to CR is Benzema, how dare you? they won 4 CLs together, beat that

Fair enough but did you expect them to be this good together?

Mandzukic is on pace for his best Juventus season (comfortably too).

Personally, I was expecting it to be Dybala and Ronaldo sharing goals but it’s been Ronaldo and Mandzukic.

I just wish Douglas Costa was around for this

We talked about it when we signed Ronaldo in the summer. I was saying Mario might be necessary to make it all work. Mandzukic is a beautiful man.

Yes i expected it, it was easily predictable looking at your personel and at how CR plays. i posted about it on your forum, and half your fanbase wanted to beat me up

But did anyone think he’d be having a career year (for his Juve career), statistically?

I’m not talking about the things we all know Mandzukic to do on the field each game, press, win the ball in the air, lay the ball off, to be that number nine.

I’m talking about goals, which he’s well on his way to having his best season at Juve and I don’t recall anyone saying he’d be scoring more than ever.

Mandzukic does Mandzukic things but he’s also scoring goals at a better rate than ever and this is what’s been the best positive to me

He scored more goals for Bayern than he ever did for you so why would I be surprised

Yes such an increase in scoring as this I didn't expect. I didn't expect Ronaldo to be this proactive in setting up chances and also Dybala doing everything the team needs to dominate the ball.

I think Mandzukic's goals are just the result of a lot better play coming from Bonucci, Cancelo, Alex/De Sciglio, Bentancur, Dybala and Ronaldo all improving us from Last season. More so than anything he is doing personally.

Just wait until the limelight is on Mandzukic and not Ronaldo.......

another game that actually means something and he stinks it up

the numbers at Juve are deceiving so far

He was worse than Matri ever has been in Juve shirt.
Mising sitters and than Dybala scores a screamer but it's ruled out offside because of Ronaldo

"game that actually means something"

Juventus goes from first place in the group.... to first place in the group with the loss, whew

yes, because as mediocre as Ronaldo is, United are even worse

wonder how you'll cope now that you don't have United to 'no u' at as an excuse for Juve/Ronaldo being shit in the knockouts

How to know if a match means nothing to Juve ? Chiellini doesn't feature in it

CR7 missed an opportunity of stat padding, big tragedy this

Still 1st

here's some fap material for Firenze

Dybala just got Nani'd
