Four draws and a loss to Palermo meant Inter suddenly opened up a gap. Then, either side of a 3-2 defeat to Napoli came a 5-1 thrashing of Sampdoria and a 5-2 win over Atalanta. Fans and media alike wondered which Juventus might turn up on any given Sunday After the past few games the answer seems much clearer.

This means despite integrating a rookie coach and five new starters, la vecchia signora hasn't missed a step.Which makes the current questioning of Ferrara a little premature in my book.

With Ferrara on the steepest of learning curves, he too will improve, as Leonardo is currently showing with rivals Milan.

Once the injuries heal and the team Ferrara wants is available the race will be on once again. All it takes is two wins, or even draws, in the next two games to completely alter the public perception of both coach and team.Have faith fellow Bianconeri, all is not lost..
