Juventus boss Gigi del Neri has declared they're not in freefall.
Juve's chances of achieving any silverware this season are extremely slim after elimination from the Europa League and Coppa Italia.
"From the outside, people see the glass half-empty. From the inside, we consider it to be half-full," said Del Neri.
"It's not true that we are out of the running for everything. In the League we're still on track for our planned objectives, which is to remain close to the leading group ahead of the final sprint for a Champions League spot.
"Juve deserve respect for what they are doing. If the teams just above us are considered to be in great shape, then why should Juventus be described as in free-fall?
"So far I cannot rebuke my team for anything. We take responsibility in front of our fans and are disappointed by the elimination from the Europa League and Coppa Italia, but we can still do well. It's not as if Juve get to the Coppa Final every year usually..."
