Get your head out of your ass. If Buffon had made those saves, you would have jizzed your pants. We're talking about a keeper that normally make Chimenti look world class.
hehehe laughable. the finishing was poor nothing else. get your own fucking head out your ass

Odd game that.

For the first half Juve seemed so utterly focused on pressing Nordsjaelland that they forget they had to cover behind the pressing or try to play football themselves.

Juve then played what was, by and large, a perfectly decent second half, but failed to take chances and gave away a stupid freekick.


I don't understand the criticism of the 3-5-2 in this case, as much as I have repeated pointed out its limitations for playing in Europe.

Juve created more than enough chances to win the game comfortably and barely allowed the opposition a chance.

Still, I suppose everyone will jump on whatever long-standing grievance they have, as they always do after a poor result, whether or not it was relevant in this particular game.

Agree with this. Juve created more chances and were the better team, Nordsjelland created next to nothing. It's odd that Juve didn't win but you can be sure that if Vucinic or Bendtner were on from the start, Juve would have almost certainly won. Matri provides so little.

What do you think our chances of qualifying are now?

Yeah, probably.

Matri provides so little.
I thought Matri did fine.

Did a decent job of creating spaces and chances for Giovinco.

What I don't understand is Matri being deployed as the floating striker while Giovinco basically plays CF.

Juve are probably fucked if Chelsea beat Shakhtar.

If Chelsea don't win, Juve still have a good chance of going through.

Our midfield alone could win us the league in Italy, but in Champions League we need a forward that could bang in the goals. I hope we make it out of the group stage, it would give us a chance to invest in the transfer market and prepare us for the knock out stages.

Just got home. I'm so fucking pissed now, and I'm so embarrassed. We couldn't even beat the second/third best team in Denmark in a must-win match. Wow, fucking wow. We're laughable. Only one goal against this fucking shit team.

Buffon - Ok, this isn't your fault. You played a fine match, and the freekick really wasn't your fault.
Lucio - You're a fucking snail. Fucking Peter Crouch could outrun you, but at least you're pretty solid. You didn't fuck up, and at least that's worth something...
Bonucci - Typical Bonucci perfomance. Was great 95% of the time, but still managed to make a major fuck up in the first half. FOR FUCK'S SAKE, BONUCCI! It's like you're afraid of playing one decent perfomance... You were so fucking close to giving the goalkeeper an assist...
Chiellini - You weren't horrible, but the perfomance wasn't anything close to good. Aren't you supposed to be a fucking worldclass defender?!?!?!?!?!
Isla - I get it. You were injured for a long time, that's an excuse. BUT HAVEN'T YOU EVER LEARNED TO PASS THE FUCKING BALL?!?!?!?!?!? YOU'RE A FUCKIGN WINGBACK. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FUCKING CROSS THE BALL!!! MAYBE YOU SHOULD PRACTICE JUST ONCE A WEEK. It took fucking 70 minutes before you made a decent fucking cross. But good job on the assist.
De Ceglie - I can't believe it. You were actually decent today. I know, it is because the horrible Nordsjælland right back wasn't able to see that you were doing the same fucking thing over and over. But what the hell, it worked. Good job...
Pirlo - Decent match. Not fantastic, but definitely good.
Marchisio - Poor first half, but stepped up in the second half. Acceptable perfomance.
Vidal - Vidal, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?!?!? I know Vucinic wasn't on the pitch the first 60 minutes, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU CAN BE A FUCKING LAZY ASS INSTEAD?! Horrible, horrible...
Giovinco - At least your movement was pretty good, but for fuck's sake. You're playing as a striker. LEARN TO FUCKING SHOOT. How fucking hard can it be?!?!?!?!?!?
Matri - IS IT A JOKE?! You're so fucking bad that it's not even funny. I don't think you even did one fucking thing right today. Your ball control is fucking horrible, Bendtner looks like freaking Messi compared to you. God, I want Iaquinta back. Seriously, I don't even want you on the bench. You're so fucking horrible. I'll rather play 10 vs 11. AT LEAST WE DON'T HAVE YOU TO THROW THE BALL AWAY THEN.
Vucinic - Thank you for saving our ass. You were great. Nice to see that we actually have a decent striker.
Bendtner - Were actually not terrible or laughable. Should have scored on the header, but compared to Matri, you're a freaking magician.
Giaccherini - Were you even on the pitch!?!?!?

Pirlo was by far our best player. It's not even funny to put him in the same team as the others. The team did not show up in the first half and in the second we showed our usual selves in not taking our chances.

Buffon 6

Lucio 6.5
Bonucci 6.5
Chiellini 6

Isla 5
Vidal 5
Pirlo 7
Marchisio 6
De Ceglie 6

Giovinco 5
Matri 5

Vucinic 6.5
Giaccherrini 6
Bendtner N. R.

All in all we had a great time there.

Sadly I don't think we'll get out of the group now. I think we'll beat Nordsjaelland at home but I can't see us beating Shakhtar away. The worst part is that we could easily be top if we'd gotten a decent striker in the summer!
