[The Curr]

Like that's important, he was awful during important matches

I didn't say that it was important or that he wasn't awful during important matches.

You aren't too bright, are you.

 

[Boksic]

I watched Amauri in Jersey, and he was our best player.

So your post is nonsense.

Yes my post must be nonsense because you watched him being the best player in a meaningless match against poor opposition when most of the team is away on international duty.

 

[Esteban]

Amauri sucks, that's all that matters. Sell!

And they still beat us.

But lets be honest here, your comment was dumb. I showed why it was dumb. Just accept that and move on.

Not really, Andy.

I don't think you can truly see how good, bad or otherwise a player is until you actually see them.

On TV you only see what they are doing when the camera is on him, but you get a far better idea of a player when you see them in the flesh.

I've only seen Amauri twice in the Stadio once this season and once last season. The difference in a player a year on was frightening to be honest. However I think Amauri can still do a role at Juventus. I'd get rid of Iaquinta before him.

 

[Bjerknes]

I think that's bullshit, but I'll humor you for a bit, Red.

Since Amauri was our best player last Sunday, and I saw him in the flesh, that means I can genuinely say that he isn't as bad as folks say he is.

Boksic is just wrong, whatever way you take it.

I'm not speaking about Amauri in particular. I think we both know he hasn't been half as bad this season as most people round here would have you believe.

I believe it is far harder to judge a player based on watching TV. You can easily see more tangible things like their technique on TV, but it is much easier to judge things like awareness, positional sense and off the ball movement when you are in the stadium.

The only reason for that is because sometimes the camera view doesn't show the player in question.

But when the player is in view, there is no difference.

So I will respectfully disagree in that respect.

Either way, Boksic is still wrong.

Exactly.

I want to know if a striker is making a run when the CB is in possession and I want to know if the CB is still concentrating and marking his man when the ball is at the other end of the pitch.

I find just seeing the small area of the pitch where the ball is at any given time rather frustrating.

Obviously being at a match is much better than watching the tele.

My whole thing in this is just that with what Boksic said, it proves that Amauri isn't that poor. He was a beast against Red Bull -- fast, strong and threatening.

 

[Luca]

'he was a beast against red bull' really does say it all

 

[Bjerknes]

Okay, but we still lost, Del Piero was mediocre, and Boksic is still wrong.

Amauri in the 2008/2009 season was a beast when everybody played well. He underperformed last season like 95% of the team did. I don't understand why everyone scapegoats him.

 

[Bjerknes]

Because folks don't have the brain capacity to understand complicated matters. That's it.

 

[Nicholas]

Impossible.

I understand what you're saying mate. But you're talking to the wrong guy, I'm 100% anti amauri and have bben since before he even moved here, I've seen him in the flesh and I must say my opinion of him in my view was totally justified, the best I've seen amauri was on tv when he threw himself like a wild dog at john terry last season in the champs league second leg, a time when the while team was giving all they got.
Is amauri that dependant on team morale?

No problem everyone is entitled to their opinion. His first season he was a monster with us and the Anti-Amauri brigade could not deny it so kept quiet. They soon came out of the woodwork this season though which I thought was abit weak from them. Granted people doubted him, for me in his first season he silenced the doubters.

That means nobody should care what you have to say. Way to discredit yourself.
