so i slept one night over the result. here are my thoughts.
All in all 2:1 is not a bad result, as we are strong in Delle Alpi and have not conceded there this season and won all our games there.
Also we are typical for this kind of away games in knockout stage.
But due to the fact the Pool had many injuries and is not at the class like Milan, Chelsea we should have gotten more than a 2:1 lose.
I think there were many factors that we had a terrible first half.
I think everybody underestimated Liverpool (also Cap).
the suspention of Florence game didn't do us a favour either
we played with Neddy and not the 4:3:3 like in the last games.
some players underperformed
nearly every player lacked determination
Liperpool was more agressive than us.
my ratings:
Buffon: IMO he is not really to blame for the goals, but on his days he could have saved one of them.
Zebina: should have marked Hypia at the first goal and didn't do much for the game
Thuram: looked shaky at times especially in the 1. Half, better 2nd half
Cannavaro: good game + goal
Zambrotta: decent 1 half, better 2nd one with the assist for the goal
Camo: didn't see much of him, underperformed like many yesterday
Blasi: was just weak, should be replaced by another player
Emo: i think the slip away in the first seconds shocked him and he played under his standards
Nedved: maybe it was a fault to start him, as he wasn't 100 % fit, but ok 2nd half imo
Zlatan: could have done better in times, lacks finishing and luck at the moment
Del Piero: IMO played not good and not bad, moved well with Neddy and Ibra and got a goal disallowed
subs:
Pessotto: should be used in the return leg imo instead of blasi
Cap: underestimated Liverpool and maybe should not have subbed Del Piero so early
all in all i think that our chances are still alive, everybody knows exactly what juve is capable to do in Delle Alpi.
I think we saw if Juve really played Liverpool didn't come into the game and with a little bit of luck (post, disallowed goal) we could have drawn the game.
If we win the battle in midlefield in Turin we will go throug, but players like Emerson, Thuram have to play at their standards. also i think Nedved will be getting better match by match.

guys relax dont worry about the next leg. Put in mind that these players have not played in almost 2 weeks and they traveled to England to play a young and fast team like liverpool. Did you expect Juve to come out flying? I mean Nedved hasnt played for like 2 months and hasnt played with his teamates for longer. Let them get back into this weekend vs Fiorentina and we'll do a lot better. Also Trez had a shit week with France and im sure hes going to try n snap out of it and same with Emerson who RARELY EVER plays a bad game nvm two. Give them time to gel together again play another game get momentum and we'll go to Delle Alpi on Wednesday and take out Liverpool. If they could stop them in the 2nd half after the way Liverpool started, im pretty sure they can do that right from the beggining in Italy. Juventus will make it through dont you people worry about it Capello knows what he is doing and he has got Liverpool worked out in his head. The xplosion of the Old Lady will happen on Wednesday so to Liverpool fans, watch out cuz Juve want this trophy real bad and i dont think theyre gonna settle for a loss in Italia.

It's you that was watching a different game, my friend. Zlatan hit the post after a good solo effort? What shite are you talking? Del Piero headed the ball to Nedved who passed it to Zlatan who shot and struck the post, solo effort my ass. Who started the play where 'Del Piero got a perfect pass leaving him free with the keeper'? That's right, DP did. He also started the play that saw Ibrahimovic hit the post but you wouldn't have noticed that. You wouldn't have seen his neat turns or touches. To say that his goal was clearly offside is complete bullshit. Replays showed that he was level with the defender meaning that it was a perfectly good goal. Apart from hitting the post what did Zlatan do? When did he beat two defenders 5-6 times like you say he did? Ibrahimovic had a very ordinary game and deserves a 6 at most.
Juve believe in Euro victory Wednesday 6 April, 2005

Alessandro Del Piero and his teammates remain confident of eliminating Liverpool from the Champions’ League, but Jonathan Zebina could be out for some time.
Fabio Cannavaro’s away goal in the 2-1 defeat at Anfield Road has given Juventus hope of reaching the semi-finals.
“I am satisfied,” said the defender whose header beat Scott Carson at the near post. “I think this scoreline gives us a great opportunity to turn the tie around, whereas 2-0 would have been very tough. We paid a heavy price for the first 20 minutes, though apart from the goals they didn’t really create many chances.”
Del Piero was substituted yet again in the Champions’ League encounter and explained the reasons behind that sluggish start.
“We were very tense going into the game and were under pressure for the first half-hour,” revealed the captain. “We had a great reaction after that and it’s a shame my goal was incorrectly disallowed for offside. The 2-1 result gives us the chance to qualify.”
Gianluigi Buffon could do nothing about the volleys from Sami Hyypia and Luis Garcia, but is also in confident mood.
“I must compliment Luis Garcia for a stunning strike. A goalkeeper always believes he could’ve done more to prevent goals, but in any case we will have home advantage in the second leg and 2-1 is a good result for us.”
Fabio Capello will have Alessio Tacchinardi back from suspension for next week’s game in Turin, but Jonathan Zebina could be out for some time.
The French fullback pulled up with a suspected thigh strain and it’s reported he’ll be sidelined for at least a month.
I think we should use Taccinardi instead of Blasi depending on the system we play.
Can Pesotto replace Zebina?
