well...
Not a great deal to say as i cant be bothered to argue about it.... especially as i think i saw a very different game from the stands than many of you seem to have seen on the tv.
firstly.... i had forgotten jus how good a stadium that really is.... fantastic!!
those complaining about the way we played.... have you actually been watching juve play anytime in the last 20 years.... that was always gonna be the way we played... that is juve.
those that say we should have attacked.... again do you watch juve?
you also seem to have forgotten that we werent playing some serie c wannabes ,we were playing real madrid... probably the best team on the planet.
Personlly i was very happy with the performance... we were generally solid, probably unlucky not to score another and maybe the odd decision went against us, but thats football.
The criticism of dp i find over blown..... from the stands he appeared to play a good game (everyone else there was also in agreement).
What maybe you couldnt see on tv was his movement off the ball and how hard he worked tracking back.
My only dissapointment with dp was that he should have scored with one of his chances and he seemed a little nervous in the first half hour, but overall a good performance and as good as pretty much every other juve player.
You also dont mention the inneffectiveness of conte and tudor in the mid meaning that nedved and dp were playing too deep the whole game.... how can they create if there having to play in there own half all the time.Also not helped by his link man in nedved who had a very quiet night.
Yet for all the criticism you dont have a moan about nedved who was very poor and was also poor against roma, brescia , barca and lazio.
where as dp played well against brescia and most of the roma match and probably won us the league with his 4 goals.
Personally i dont blame nedved for the madrid game either as it came down to a poor midfield combo plus being against a very good side and also nedved obviously playing with a knee problem.
You also fail to moan about trez who was quieter than either nedved or del piero.... though strangely i even defend him as for once he tried and his movement was generally good.
You all forget these guys are human beings and you often seem to expect unbeleivable things from them.
And worse you seem to at the slightest thing turn on our players and forget the great things they have done for us.
Staying on dp... look at this season where he was great up until his injury, since he has been a bit on and off, but outside of barca and lazio(where noone played well) he has been solid, and i tell you if not for him there is no way in the world we would have come close to winning the league this term.... yet you all still like to ***** about him... unbeleivable!!
Anyway, to me a good performance, better than expected result and in a good place for the second leg.
My only dissapointments with this game were the tudor - conte mid which didnt work and camo's poor display... something that worries me slightly as its now been a long time since hes shown any sign of what he showed at the season opening... hopefully he will find his feet soon.
Anyway cant wait to be in turin for the next leg!!!
some of you should go see a juve game live..... serie a for me is the one league where you really need to see it in the stadium to truly appreciate it, you miss so much compared to other leagues when you watch on the tv.
