Well words are repeating them selves here. Juve was horrible today and we all agree on it. What's the next step? do we fire Ranieri? Do we question the entire squad for the spirit? or do we sign a whole new team?

Raniere was really afraid to replace DP and Nedved.

I think Tiago might have been useful tonight. But also, he might have been another fluke!
there is no way Tiago could have been worse than Camo in the CM today..

yes you heard me, guys we all love Del Piero but, he is not going to be with us forever. Giovinco should get his opprotunity at the spot he truly likes to play. I really do see an amazing player in him and if he can be the next Del Piero i would not mind at all. Alex is a hero and always will be one but we will not have him forever.
Giovinco is not a CF, why should he replace Alex? And if you want Iaquinta to start too, where will he play if Gio replaces Alex?

He probably means 4-4-1-1 where we play with one striker and Giovinco behind him. :confused:

I don't know if benching Del Piero will do good to the team. I mean, it's Del Piero. He always has these blockouts but his reply to the critics is always strong.
Maybe a simple conversation with him and hard trainings where Alex will combine with Giovinco and Amauri will solve the problem.

I'm not one of those guys you call Del Piero fanboys, but i'm pretty sure that punishing Del Piero for our bad displays will do more bad than good.
Good point Alen, Ill agree with you on that. I take my statement back besides the part that we need to prepare for life with out Alex.

You're too kind with Chiellini.
Only because I like him.

Anyway, looking at the bright side. I don't really think Zenit and Madrid will really have an easy game there to Bate as some of us think. The 1point they grabbed out of todays match will give them a big push.

Yeah, it was the same slow start last season. Perhaps sitting him out the next game and talking to him would help but I'm sure this Alex is only temporary.

He is just a kid.

A player is almost never the complete package when he first breaks into the team.

He is not terrible defensively and he will improve on it as we go throught the season.

Alright.. but if he does not perform he should not start. That goes for anyone. Juve need to have better players then players who might someday be possibly be decent or even good someday .. someday

We play games now .. and we need to win them now.

So who should start? Molinaro?

De Ceglie will improve quicker by playing lots. Since Molinaro is our alternative at LB, I say we stick with De Ceglie.

As long as he learns from mistakes, I can live with his questionable defending.

If I was Ranieri after the team played like this I would take them to a camp and make them train constantly ...

Then I owuld sacrifice one of the first 11 today in order to prove a point. The death penalty is not too harsh given the performance today. They brought shame to us.
