Napoli looked good....but let's also not forget the fact that this is a Juventus team completely different then last year's. We keep expecting great things from them because the are the reigning champions, but the difference is that wasn't these players. The midfield that played against Napoli was Hernanes, Lemima, Pereyra, Pogba. Pogba is a talented player but so far he's proven that he is in no way ready to lead a midfield for Juventus. Pereyra was nothing more then a sub last year. Lemina is a youngster with potential, but no way can he currently replace the void left by the departures. Having Marchisio and Khedira injured isn't helping either. Also, we haven't been able to see to what extent Tevez can be replaced as Mandzukic hasn't been perfoing and hasn't been playing consistently; Morata has been in and out of the team; and although Dybala is a bright spot, he's gone missing for long periods of time during games and hasn't been able to change the game and take over when needed like Tevez used to....which is very normal as Dybala is still so young.
As of right now, their midfield looks very mediocre to me. It's clear too see for everyone. I think a true assessment of what their team is capable of can be made after Marchisio and Khedira get back in the side. We know that one of them is proven in Italy, but the other one we'll see.
My whole point is, even if Napoli did look good, beating Juventus on this occasion wasn't anything special. In a way, it is comparative to let's say beating Lazio right now.
