We're not talking about Trezeguet here; we are comparing Ibrahimovic and Del Piero, two similar players of different stature. If you were following along with the discussion we're not talking about strikers in general, only these two respective players. Both take roles of picking up the ball...

It doesn't matter if the ball blasted up or down field, what matters is what each player does to obtain the ball and what each does when they have it. Now you're suddenly trying to defend a player's performance because the team is not helping him out with the proceedings on the pitch...

Again, you must look at the broad scope of things here. Ibrahimovic has created more, become more of a presence on the pitch in certain matches, and seemed to be involved in the matches more as well. Don't want to have to look over all the goals that DP has scored and tell you what sort of...

Obviously.

They form the best central defensive duo in all of football.

Incorrect denco. Indeed I have used stats to prove different things, making sure that I pointed out how Zlatan has assisted on many of our goals. However you cannot really judge based merely on statistics; you must look at the broad scope of things, how each player has played throughout the...

No. One of these days we will be playing half-arse and will get caught out by some mid-table side like Fiorentina. If we keep giving minimal efforts like this one of these days luck will not be one our side and we'll drop points because we were not playing hard enough. That's why I don't like...

Del Piero has been good, but not great. He earns the title "most decisive player in Serie A" from the use of statistics. I just don't want people to get the wrong impression from this terminology.

My ratings on the night: Buffon 6.5 Zebina 6 Thuram 7 Cannavaro 6.5 Zambrotta 5.5 Camoranesi 6 Emerson 6.5 Blasi 4 Tacchinardi 6 Zalayeta 5.5 Ibrahimovic 6.5 Del Piero 6.5

Indeed, after the winterbreak he has been good. However, before the winterbreak, he was rather disapointing. It's not like has lit the Serie A on fire this season. You seem to have a selective memory.

Oh my, not this again. His overall performances this season have left something to be desired. :wallbang:

One of these days its not going to work. I hate seeing lackluster performances against Reggina and the like.

Indeed, maximum result with a minimal effort. I really don't like the sound of that.

Well it's a tale of two halves here. In the first half we are absolutely pathetic, not being able to create one chance at all. Second half came about and finally we were able to create some chances, however it's still not that great of a performance. Juventus should beat a team like Reggina...

THANK GOD Tacchinardi is on, hopefully for Blasi.

Good stuff. We have had most of the posession, however all the highlights on TV were from Reggina. Not a single highlight for Juventus at all except for Blasi skying the ball over the bar.

At least Zebina can control the ball and make good decisions with it, unlike Blasi.

You have got to be kidding me. Blasi has the worst touch on the entire team. How is he supposed to do anything in traffic right behind the strikers? He would just give the ball away every time he gets it. Actually he would probably get the ball a lot less than he is now so it might be a...

Well another pathetic first half of play. Really, we did not create a single chance in the first half and nobody seems up for the match. Reggina has packed there defense and since we fail to create many chances against weak opposition we're having a very tough time as well now. All our...

Well here we go.
