The subs wasn't bad, but if it was up to me, i'd take Neddy out and Replace him with either Zala or Trezeguet and Put back Dp where nedved was.

Some notes after seeing the game.
*Byebye Blasi.
*First time Emerson made a really bad match under his Juve-era.
*Buffon's mistake on the second goal.
*Del Piero looked extremely weak. "BUT HE IS SOON BACK !!!!!!!" "FORZA DP!! PENALTY KICK GOAL VS ATALANTA - THE KING IS BACK!!!" Ye... right.
*The Pool defenders looked a little shaky when Zlatan had the ball close to his feat. Wonder why.:cheesy: Too bad he didn't give them much reason to be shaky tonight.
*Thuram was the Man of the Match. Including both sides.
*We need a playmaker.
*G'night.

Capello curses sluggish start
Fabio Capello is cursing Juve’s sluggish start to the Champions’ League quarter-final, but believes they’ll eliminate Liverpool.
“We just didn’t play for the first half-hour,” noted the Coach after a 2-1 defeat at Anfield. “We had the chances after that and didn’t have the luck to take them, but for the opening 30 minutes Liverpool were the only team on the field."
"We weren’t aggressive or accustomed to the constant pressure they were putting on us, but once you push Liverpool then their defence does give way.”
Sami Hyypia took advantage of a defensive error from a set-piece – just as Real Madrid had done in the last round – before Luis Garcia turned in a spectacular goal from 30 metres.
“When you strike the ball from distance then you always hope it’ll end up like Luis Garcia’s goal,” smiled Capello. “This was a difficult game against a team that really plays its best on home turf. Our approach was wrong and I take responsibility, but I am satisfied with our performance after the break.”
The half-time substitution, introducing Gianluca Pessotto for Manuele Blasi, proved crucial as Juve were a different team after the break.
“Pessotto is the kind of player who can get the ball moving quickly, but above all covers Gianluca Zambrotta on his runs. I liked the performance in the second half and the team as a whole really got back on track after Liverpool’s second goal.”
Juventus must win at the Delle Alpi next Wednesday evening, but a 1-0 result would be enough to see them through on the away goals rule.
“Our finishing left something to be desired, but I believe that after our first half showing this counts as a positive result,” continued Capello. “It’s not easy to find the right mindset after being away for a while and the break for Easter and then the Serie A postponement didn’t help us.”
The Bianconeri could easily have drawn 2-2 at Anfield, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic hit the upright and Alessandro Del Piero had a perfectly good goal disallowed for offside. Pavel Nedved was also making his comeback after suffering head trauma against Madrid in late February.
“Every time Zlatan gets the ball he is crowded out by three players. He’s not very lucky with his finishing at the moment, but he is a very important player for Juventus. Nedved is a special player and I was fully satisfied with his performance. I’d say that for the final hour the whole team did well.”
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has not hidden his admiration for Capello and gave his view on beating the tactician.
“We were aggressive and needed that for a game like this against Juve,” said the Spaniard. “I am happy with the first half, but the Bianconeri were better after the break and maintained possession well. We have a week to get some injured players back, such as Jerzy Dudek, but it’ll be difficult for Xabi Alonso to return in time.”
Juve star Gianluca Zambrotta gave an insight into the locker room atmosphere at half-time. “Capello was extremely angry during the break, but he didn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know about our own performance. It was clear for all to see that we had to wake up.”
“I think we stepped onto the field without the right determination and were always second to the ball,” said the fullback. “We realised we couldn’t carry on like that and came on for the second half with a different psychological approach.”
“We proved in the second half that if we put Liverpool under pressure then they will struggle. Considering how it was going, we can be happy with the 2-1 result and clearly there are regrets as we should’ve done so much better.”
This was the first meeting of the two clubs since the Heysel disaster and several former players – including Michel Platini and Ian Rush – walked out before kick-off in a show of friendship.
“I wanted to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this tragic event with the two sets of fans,” explained ex-Juve star Platini.
“Liverpool were exceptional in the first half, but I think Juventus will qualify as they are the better team and started to prove that after the break. With the disallowed goal and Zlatan Ibrahimovic hitting the woodwork they had some great chances.”

We played like crap in the first half. The defence was very insecure, the midfield was not containing their attacks and the whole thing was a shambles. Zlatan and Del Piero both should have done better to score but those were the only chances we had. Sadly, that completely set the pace of the game and in the 2nd half we played much better but nowhere near winning. It's humiliating to lose to a weakass team like this, they didn't even play their best lineup tonight.
And Del Piero had a perfectly good goal disallowed.

I hav to say, that I am confident, taht we will go through! We didn't have a game since two weeks or so, thats the point why we fvcked up the first half. Pessotto should get a starting shirt. He was awsome tonight. Same goes to Zambrotta and the Rest of the team that played in the second half.
My friends and me watched the game, and we came to the conclusion: Juve will go easily through. Liverpools goals werent really because they were the better team, it was luck. Garcias goal was pure luck, Hyppiä`s (or however you spell him) goal was also quite lucky. However, my point is, that we scored also scored 2 goals and Ibras shot on the post was great.
Mark my words: We will go through!

geez, check my posts and you'll that your mistaken, Dp is my fav player, yep thats right, i didn't give him 10/10 and i just said that the Subs wasn't bad idea,
Anyhow i was Defending him when someone posted that he did nothing, I replied to him that he did OK, "Disallowed goal, nice combination with Neddy, getting fouls, setting some nice counter attacks" This doesn't mean you have the Right to bash me, I didn't say Screw Trezeguet because he came instead of Dp, i just thought Dp did Okay tonight, and there's no need for some members to Bash him...
Think Twice before you judge somebody and bash the AZZURRI7.

It was a horrible first 30 minutes. There was no midfield. What the hell happened to Emerson! Blasi was totally useless. Even Cannavaro looked sort a poor on the pitch. Liverpool were really lucky to have gone out of the match as winners, lucky goals scored, perfectly onside goal disallowed, Zlatan hitting the post.
I dont think Liverpool will or should get those kind of luck again in turin. A packed stadium, everyone playing at the highest, and pressing on Liverpool from start of the game till end of it should be enough to go through. Liverpool isn't good enough to stop us. I'd be really disapointed and shocked if we get eliminated from such a team.
