Amen, brother. I mean, does Appiah's mom work at the Gazzeta or something? He was about as useful as driftwood out there. Just about every forward pass he made rolled harmlessly to Frey. Complete filler. He could have been the arbitro and had no impact on the game's result. Buffon's score...

And starting the first half with the dreaded 4-4-1-1, I'd also have to add "out- coached". That said, to go into the home stadium of a CL-level contender and come out with a tie isn't necessarily shameful. A blown opportunity this season -- as it has been against many top teams where we only...

I'm normally a fan. But, IMO, he flat out did not show up for today's game. Not looking for the pass when it came to him, poor shooting choices when he should have passed, and turnovers when he tried to pass. He cost us a few good offensive opportunities in the first half. He's capable of a...

It actually looked to me as if he were just outside it. Maresca had such a pathetic game, he probably would have sent the ball into the stands if he took the kick anyway.:down:

Gila was held in check for most of the first half of the game. The defense -- and largely Legrotaglie, IMO -- did their jobs. By the second half when Juve added a forward and started to press more, the backfield had greater exposure but didn't really step up to the challenge ... and on one such...

Definitely an exciting game, even if I am getting a bit tired of starting games a goal down as a regular habit this season. And as I said on this thread before the game, the 4-4-1-1 does NOT give us a sufficient offensive threat. It was only until we got out of that when things started to...

Absolutely. I worry anytime we come out with a formation (particularly fuori a casa) that depends so heavily on our defense to win the game for us. This has proven to be a risky scheme all season. ...Or at least ever since Trez got miffed for being pulled for a defender at the close of...

OK, now I'm a little worried. This 4-4-1-1 formation has produced little offensively whenever we've needed it. Nedved has taken a few direct shots himself, but, IMO, his accuracy hasn't been great of late. And he hasn't been getting passes/crosses over to Trez or Di Vaio (Camoranesi has done a...

I may be a Juve fan first and foremost, but there's something I really love about Parma. And it's not just because Juve signed so many great Parma expatriates over the years. ;) To me, Parma represents the "canary in the mine" for the health of Lega Calcio. They don't have the major media...
