Pavel Nedved admits he's been stunned by Juventus' slide this year.

Juve are languishing in joint sixth place after picking up one point from three games against Siena, Sampdoria and Napoli.

"I never expected a situation like this, going out of the Champions League in the group phase, the Europa League and the Scudetto race," he told Tuttosport.

"To think when I retired and saw the transfer campaign, I thought the team would be stronger than in previous seasons.

"They have the potential, they just need to know how to harness it productively.

"I always keep track of the squad, even though I don't go in the stands, as I feel uncomfortable being up there."
