Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri questioned his players' mentality after their 2-1 defeat of Genoa.
A stoppage-time Cristiano Ronaldo penalty saved their blushes.
Sarri said, “In terms of characteristics, I think this team is suited to playing with a man behind the strikers, rather than three upfront. This is a system that rather penalised Paulo Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Douglas Costa has played as a trequartista too, especially at Shakhtar Donetsk. He's only been back for two days, so we didn't have time to test him in that role.
“This is a squad that won eight consecutive Serie A titles, so I think they might be lacking a bit of determination, both going forward and defending."
