Thanks Mark83 and Sateeh for your compliments. About the right back position, Zebina doesn't see to be available for this match, so I would go for Balza. And about the CM positions, putting both Paro and Marchisio would be a very risky move because they're both young and lack experience...

Nedved has ball-winning abilities, which Paro doesn't have. And in such an important game, we need a ball winner in midfield, Nedved would fit the role. And what I mean by Trezeguet scoring from a setpiece, I mean head the ball in or tap it in from a freekick taken by another player ;)

This is going to be a tough game, especially without Zanetti and Giannichedda. IMO, we should keep the 4-4-2 formation, the new players still need a bit more time before we can start using different formations. So who should be our centeral midfield paring, I think Nedved and Paro would be...

It would be absolutely crazy to even think of sacking Deschamps so early and after only just one match. The team is already unsettled by the new environment and pressure of instant promotion despite the slightly large penalty. The problem is, if it wasn't for Boumsong's goal, most people...

I think Italy winning the world cup would ease off the punishments a little bit, regardless of an comments otherwise. My prediction is that Juve will be relegated to Serie B if Italy doesn't win the world cup, but if they do the FIGC may be content with a point deduction and maybe stripping...

I agree with you. Zidane is a player who made a huge impact at every team he played for, and was always sorely missed when he wasn't playing for his team, whether it was Juventus, Real Madrid or France. And as you pointed out, one of Zidane's best skills is his simple, yet effective game...

This is certainly not the same Juventus that started the season. I think there are two main reasons for that: - Capello has played with the same formation (4-4-2) through the whole season. Everyone knows how we will play even before the match starts. Our strengths and weaknesses are clear to...

I completely agree with you. Unless we want to follow Inter's example in signing loads of players and ending up spending the whole season trying to settle them into the team, we should only sign 3 or 4 players, with only 1 or 2 of them in the starting lineup. We've already secured...

The 3-0 scoreline gives the wrong impression about the game. Bayern were in control most of the time and has a lot more chances. The own goal they conceded made them a bit too nervous. They wasted some unbelievable chances. It was still 1-0 almost 15 minutes from the end, Bayern went forward...

I think Capello should leave. Although I can't deny that Capello is a legendary manager who can transform any team into a successful one. But I think he doesn't really care much about Juventus in the long term, he's just here to get the 3rd star and claim credit for it. He can't care less what...

I see most of the forum is pessimistic, just like every time we're knocked out of the Champions League. :( I admit that both legs against Arsenal were extremely disappointing performances, and the matches against Treviso and Roma weren't much better. Scoring only one goal in 4 matches, and...

Thanks, I hope so too :) And thanks Phrozen. Although I believe Arsenal's midfielders will panic if we manage to score early. Henry's certainly a great captain, but we'll have to see his influence in case Arsenal concede early. And about the English mentality, I agree with you. But can you...

I haven't been posting here for a long time now, althoughI've been reading new posts on a daily basis. But since this is probably our most difficult match of the season, I decided to post my thoughts. Of course, last week's performance was a complete disaster. Camoranesi's pointless red card...

Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos. Both are extremely arrogant and overrated. Gravesen seems to have a terrible personality too. I'd say I hate those 3 players.

I've been a big Chelsea fan for sometime now (Since 97). I can't deny that I'm happy to see Chelsea emerging as one of Europe's top clubs. But I have to admit, Chelsea was much more entertaining in the old days. They were always great to watch, until Mourinho came along. Mourinho may have...

Our first big match of the season. Up until now Juve has been very solid, especially in midfield. But we're yet to face a team that can at least compete with our midfield, Inter will be our first challenge. Although Inter have some good forwards in their squad, they've only managed to...

Deschamps may have not made any big achievment in Monaco other than the Champions League Final. But he took Monaco to a new level after he took charge of them. He turned things around, Monaco were in very bad shape when he came along. Within a season or two Monaco were back in the top teams in...

Thanks ZhiXin. And thanks Paolo_Montero, I still remember you well, if my memory serves me well your name is Tom, right?

I think Wenger would be a good option after Capello leaves us, in case Deschamps isn't available. Wenger has a lot of good qualities that would make him a very suitable option for Juve. First, he's good in spotting potential stars and knows how to make them make it into the first team. That...
