in all honesty i dont see why u guys are upset?!?! i think juve played a great game. iam very proud of how we played specially nit he second half of the game. we were take by surprise in the first half hiddnik played it right they had to score early on so we they make us come out to them. we had good chances specially after marchisio got in. we were more dangerous, had more shots on goal, more passes, and we were very close to equalizing and they know it!!
in the second leg its a whole different story and iam sure if we play with some more heart we will can make it. to be honest i think juve played a bigger game compared to the one we played against arsenal back in 2006.
there were mistakes thats for sure, molinaro was a disaster tonight but u cant say juve were bad.

Im not sure quite what to feel here.. there is a sense of being upset but a lot of a frustation. However you got to give credit where its due chelseas midfield totally outclassed ours, Nedved, Marchioni and Amauri were the only players who I thought did well apart from that if we play like this again we have no chance. It reached a pathetic point as with a lot of our matches where we seem to push people forward and rely on solo runs from defenders or be it sissoko. Congrats to chelsea for hanging on even though we never gave as much as we should have. Even though the scorline suggests its still an open tie.. I believe today we gave a good indication of what will happen in the second leg, chelseas midfield and the annoying drogba with kalou's pace was more than enough for us. I know this is sounding like an ongoing cliche but molinaro has to be the worst left back that ever existed, terrible.
Heres my ratings.
Buffon - 6 He couldnt have done much to stop the goal apart from maybe reacting a little quicker or spreading himself out nevertheless he made a few average saves, such as the one against lampard.
Mellberg - 6 I dont think he was too bad he seemed a lil unsure at times but then he only had to handle anelka most of the times.
Legro - 5.5 Some jibberish uncertainties but made up with a few blocks
Chiellini - 5.5 Often had to come on the left wing to help out during kalou's runs , however I havent seen chiellini perform this bad in a while he struggled to handle irritating drogba and one incident I remember him shrugging drogba, that was frustratingly risky and could have given a pk away.
Molinaro - 3 Seriously absolutely pathetic! a clown I failed to understand anything positive i saw from him apart from one single clearance but kalou totally owned him and at one point i was hoping molinaro got sent off it.. embarrasing.
Tiago - 5.5 I question why he was taken off so early, yes he had a knock but what a pansy! He played a part in setting dp with a shot however his general contribution in helping in midfield was obviously lacking.
Camo -5.5 With a player like camo youd expect determination and a sense of drive but chelseas midfield had him controlled and with his ongoing injuries im wondering if he will ever be the same player again.
Sissoko - 6 What could have gone wrong. went wrong for him, his runs went as far as a brick wall, his passes mislead him and his control was shocking. I think the Palermo match got to him however to be fair it was never going to be easy with him having to catch both ballack and lampard and often getting strangled by obi
Nedved -6.5 Nedved is made for big matches and was one of the few bright sparks in the game. He made up more distance than any of the players and played a part in a lot of our attacks. He did hurry all too often in cases but at the end his desire can never be questioned.
Del Piero - 6 The fact is he more or less got owned by Ashley cole, DP just didnt have the space to do what he did best and his freekicks and corners remained harmless, he had a few attempts but seems far away from the towering Amauri.
Amauri - 6.5 Amauri gave terry a lot of problems and in all honesty if he had someone a little more supportive we could have maybe got a goal however he was always niggling at the defenders and seem upbeat a pleasing perfomance.
Marchisio 5.5 - He didnt add anything to what was in general a horrible midfield performance
Marchionni 6.5 Another bright spot he put some crosses in and even took a shot looked threatening and sharp but not effective enough.

Well I think we are just decent too day, not bad but not good due to pressure. But I'm really disappointed with our defence and passing skills. How come we were so sloppy, even Alex? The conceeded goal is Olof to blame, that's why after that he seems to be so frustrated and argue with others. Our best players today are Nedved and Tiago.
