Ladies and gentlemen, Ciro is satisfied.

“Today it was crucial that we get a victory - a deserved one - with few real scoring opportunities, but never risking and always keeping control,” said the Coach.

“I am satisfied with the result and the performance. We can then debate on the quality of football at a later date.

“The tempo was pretty slow and it allowed Siena to clam up. We kept the ball, but passed it around very slowly and without the right timing, especially in the first half.

“After the break with the substitutions we found the right push to go for the victory. Is the glass half-full or half-empty? It's completely full.”
I'd agree with that at a stretch :snoop:

It's ok what he says, at least he admits the quality of football is not good which makes me optimistic. I'm just not too sure about what he says at the end, it's a little cryptic.

I was disappointed we didn't go with the 4-2-3-1 again. Not to mention no Giovinco. This is the game where we really should have taken it to them. We surely can't go with 4-2-3-1 against Sampdoria on Wednesday because their wingers will tear our full backs to pieces.

One thing is for sure though we need more creativity up front. Why not try Gio as a second striker playing off of Amauri or Trez? Oh, and that's 2 in 3 for Amauri now, hopefully he can carry this on.

Watching our build up play, I never get the impression that our style was learned in training.

The amount of times our midfield dally on the ball because of poor movement by the rest of the team, and the amount of times the receiving player fails to properly anticipate a pass or cross goes to show we have no real gameplan. We look completely lost out there.

I wouldnt go that far as saying Scudo is the must, especially seeing how we play. Inter still is the team to beat and they have far superior coach. But we def have to give Inter fight of their lives this season. Which i am not too sure about, with our inexperienced manager. I can live with a close 2nd place finish. But if Inter are certain to win the title a long long time before, then its sure failure.

I think we appointed the wrong legend. Conte is doing so good for Atalanta right now.
There's a difference between coaching a squad with massive expectations not only to win every game, but to play fancy football in the meantime, and coaching for a club of Atalanta's size.

Also, I see you try to ridicule Ciro's post game comments the way people (rightfully) did with Ranieri... I don't know. Maybe show a little more respect and not ridicule and mock a true Juve legend and a very honorable man.

Criticize his managerial ability all you want after these last few games, but why show this lack of respect today when he was the greatest coach ever just a few weeks ago?

We should never show hate towards our own...

I forgot that recently, but I have remembered, the others will too. :agree:

Criticizing is fine. Heavily criticizing too. Even name calling, insults and death threats are OK when it comes to someone like Molinaro who has no business being in this club in the first place. But when it comes to someone like Ciro Ferrara, you just need to think before you chose your words, that's what I think.

Tempers run high sometimes though, especially considering that we are all Juventus fans first above all else.

If one of our brothers must be cast aside for the good of the family then it sohuld be done, but it's not that time, it's time to put our faith behind one of our own and give him untill the season has concluded.

There is a difference between coaching a team like Juventus with all the stars they have and coach Atalanta who were dead last in the league.

And chill with the whole theory of me trying to ridicule Ciro. He's should know better then to go back to a failing formation and picking wrong players. Fine, he was a legend on the field but he's not a legend on the bench.

Ciro is starting to remind me a lot of how Ranieri used to run things. He's sticking with a failing formation, he's neglecting a talent like Giovinco although he performs, he's too damn defensive, he's picking weird players and he thinks everything is good when it's not.
