funny that people curse montero now. imo he wasnt worse than thuram yesterday. and if we had tudor, would that have changed anything, its wasnt the defence that was our problem, it was the attack. though kinda its hard to blame them, pool played top class catenaccio yesterday. the bisgest disaster yesterday was capello and if it was up for me, he would be banned from football for life!

It was up to Capello to deal with Liverpool's catenaccio, instead he put Appiah for Camoranesi and insisted on a weird formation.

This is what I posted after the Fiorentina game....and unfortunately, it held true.............

Our team isnt good enough....

our coach isnt good enough...

and Moggi and company arent good enough.....................

We will now see Chelsea systematically destroy Liverpool, the way we couldnt in 2 games....

I'm not too upset, I mean the 2 best teams out there this season- Milan and Chelsea, will end up in the final

we didnt deserve it this year...

Now, let concentrate on losing the scudetto next........................
i remembered that post just after the match. man, you have no idea how much i hated you.

well thats what i meant. i dont blame players, i blame capello. 5 man midfield and still no service to forwards. what the **** can zlatan or del piero do when they7 have the ball 40m from goal with 3 defenders around their neck?

OHH PALEASE.......one of u were talki about referees favouring L'Pool..............the refs were absolute CRAP....i agree especially toward Juve but the Serie A mtches have been a disgrace with regards to decision FOR Juve.

BTW PPL.......throughout this season.....many....yes....MANY have been braggin about how good Zlatan is.....oohhh Zlatan this ZLatan that......Zlatan 0 goals in the CL is more like . Of course he finds it easy to score goals against the Brescia's, Atalantas and Reggina's of this game......but unlike the real 'good' ...yes 'good' players in the game......he cant score goals when it matters. Was it not Zlatan himself that said ' only injury can stop me from being named World Footballer of the Year'....ERRRR tryin scoring in the champions league.

Take Sheva for example......ALWAYS scoring in the big games....they are made for him.....2 months out....and he comes back and scores 2 goals in the Inter tie to lead Milan through......always scoring in the big Serie A games i might add also.

The moral of this message.......not to rub salt in to the wound (well maybe a little because of the constant braggin all season).......but to be careful about what u say......everyone is bias........but be realistic.

PS.

Stu, it wasn't all a long ball game, that was just the last half hour. Before that we saw possession after possession wasted as neither Zlatan or DP could come up with anything at all. It sure would have been nice to have Cassano if he were able to get some shots on goal for us.
Even though I do think Cassano would help our cause, the midfield is where the problem is at. Yes in the first half Ibrahimovic and Del Piero were getting the ball at times, however Liverpool closed them down quickly. They needed support from the midfield but it took too much time for the support to arrive. This team also lacks movement like none other; we play such a slow game that it's very hard to create any chances for ourselves, especially without a creative spark in the team who can pick out players up to 50 yards away a la Pirlo. Instead we resort to hopeless long balls. Zlatan and Alex were getting the ball, however there is so much they can do when there are no players running through or no players arriving in the box to receive crosses. And that's another problem there; we play with two mobile strikers, however the only scoring opportunities come from crosses from the wings. We do not have the power to speed up the game when we need to, and that's why we could not beat Liverpool.

We need a new midfield.

i think that our main problem is the midfield , we have a poor mid not to say more . Imagine a player like R Olivera playing in central mid where he suxed much !! just compare between our mid & milan's , the result is harmfull cause their players outclass ours by far and yesterday's match proved that !!

Well what can i say, it was to very good games, enjoyed both immensly.

I read this thread last night and was going to post but thought better not to under the circumstances, so i have waited for today.

some of the posts in here are a little overboard, Juventus are a great side with some fantastic players, I believe it was Rafa's tactics that won us the two legs, under Houllier we would have certainly lost.

So don't be hard on yourselves Juventus just came up against a Liverpool side who is now under a master tactician, some may say out of the Capello mode.

anyway enjoyed both games and hope we meet again and i'd like to thank the majority of Juve fans for their impecible behaviour, not too much trouble, less than i had expected anyway

Good luck for the scudetto, you can be assured that us Liverpool fans would sooner see you win it than the Milanese

finally.........You'll Never Walk Alone and Forza Juve

no hard feelings Andy lad

Yeah Benitez really made your side into one of the best in Europe. He's one of the top managers in the world now.

Congrats and good luck with Chelsea.

It was wierd seeing Alonso playing more a of a defensive role than he usually does. I think the decision was that he should sit because the guy obviously wouldn't last 90mins with his usual box-to-box style. The criticism some of our Spanish lads got at the beginning of the season really helped him out because i don't think Gerrard ene goes in for as many diving tackles as Alonso did last night!

I wish we had Xabi Alonso on our side. He would be a great partner for Emerson in midfield. Whether he would succeed in Serie A is another story though..
Hands off ;)

Btw I'm pretty sure he'd succeed wherever he played. The world's going to hear a lot about Xabi over the next few years.

so theyre one of the best in europe now, eh? :D
They beat us, so yeah they are. Benitez knows how to succeed in Europe with his time at Valencia.

He just has not learned how to play consistently in England yet.
