Posted in another thread. Trying to save time here.

Folks are not capable of objectively looking at the situation. Iaquinta bagged his goals at the beginning of the season when we were clicking and playing well, or more specifically the months of August and September. Diego, Melo, the entire midfield and defense all looked pretty good during that period. Plenty of chances were created and Iaquinta missed several of them.

Then Yak got injured and Amauri filled in for him, scoring four goals in four starts in October. But unfortunately after October, it was all down hill from there, with problems arising in the midfield and defense, along with horrendous defeats against Napoli, Bordeaux and Bayern. That took the wind out of our sails and no, it wasn't Amauri's fault. THE PROBLEMS BEGAN IN THE MIDFIELD AND DEFENSE.

So anybody claiming that Amauri is at fault for our horrendous season, or that Iaquinta has totally outclassed him this year, is either intentionally spouting nonsense or hasn't watched the games. The chances in front of goal dried up after Ferrara went to the 4-2-3-1 but then reverted back to the 4-3-1-2 after good results and lots of havoc in our opposition's end, basically throwing our stride off kilter. Then after that we struggled to create chances and everyone infiltrated the Amauri thread blaming it on him.

Many people here will make you believe Amauri is the worst striker to have ever played for Juventus, but that in itself is clearly propaganda considering some of these clowns weren't even born yet to see the brilliance of Paolo Rossi. And if folks were following closely, Amauri would not be the most hated player on this forum.

At fault for our season? No. Abysmal to score 7 goals in 37 matches? Yes.
How many of those 37 matches have you watched?

Because if you have watched us since October, you'd know we at times create NO CLEAR CHANCES in front of goal. Hell, we struggle to create any chance WHATSOEVER in some matches.

You can't rely on statistics to get a decent idea of what has happened in the past. One has to get the full picture, which none of the folks who come here day after day fully understand.

And again, I'm not saying Amauri has done well this season, for anybody who doesn't understand perspective.

You did forget to mention that Amauri played numerous matches before October, without scoring a single goal. Back when we were creating a fair number of chances.

Amauri is by no means the worst striker ever for Juve. But for as long as I have been watching them, he's definitely one of the worts guaranteed starters.

Sure he did, but it doesn't mean he played poorly in all those matches, and it doesn't mean he didn't add to the team. He sat out a couple matches those months as well.

Then when Iaquinta went cold and went out with injury, Amauri started scoring. Could it be that Iaquinta was holding him back?

Our first major loss came at the hands of Napoli at home. Do you know who started that match? I'll tell you what, it wasn't Amauri.

It's so easy to come up with these half-wit connections that simple minded folk love to address, but isn't that simple.

Spot on: why so many cling onto the hope that Amauri anything more than a short Peter Crouch is beyond me. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and he is a right pudding.

I'd say he isn't even worth a squad number.
