Ivan Juric believes Genoa deserved more from their 4-2 defeat to Juventus, but “mistakes are proving costly.”

The Grifone had been 2-0 up within 12 minutes thanks to a Miralem Pjanic own goal and Andrej Galabinov penalty, but Paulo Dybala got Juve back on level terms by the break, eventually winning 4-2.

“I think we played well even after going 2-0 up and especially when it was 2-1 had many scoring opportunities,” said the Coach in his Press conference.

The Grifone had been 2-0 up within 12 minutes thanks to a Miralem Pjanic own goal and Andrej Galabinov penalty, but Paulo Dybala got Juve back on level terms by the break, eventually winning 4-2.

“I think we played well even after going 2-0 up and especially when it was 2-1 had many scoring opportunities,” said the Coach in his Press conference.

“It’s disappointing that the equaliser was somewhat fortuitous, but we made a big mistake in the second half on the third goal. I think my team deserved more, as I saw many positive elements.

“Both Adel Taarabt and Goran Pandev did good work and we didn’t run that many risks at the back, but perhaps we need to sit a little bit deeper than usual with our characteristics.

“I had seen a good performance against Sassuolo too, but some mistakes are proving costly. We were unlucky in some situations this evening, but these two performances bode well for the future.”

However, Juric warned he expected more buys before Thursday’s transfer deadline.

“If the squad were to remain as it is, I would not be happy. I think we’re missing some things and need to evaluate situations, along with getting players like Ricardo Centurion and Gianluca Lapadula fit.

“I won’t say I am interested in Stefano Sturaro, as he is a Juventus player, but we’d certainly like someone with his characteristics.”
