His half-time team-talk must have been great...and long. The Merdazzurri players were on the pitch already and after 5 minutes Farina walked into the players tunnel to look where the hell our heroes are:D Psychological games,Mr.Ranieri:p?
Good job again,Claudio.Seems like he is improving as a coach.

where are the ranieri-haters now? everyone who watched the game can agree that we made an AWESOME game last night. everything worked fine, chiellini, del piero in best form, and off we go. This was an important one, and inter didn't even play that bad, we were just that spark more clever in our game. A lot of credit goes to CR for this one (besides DP, Chiellini, Buffon, ...). Should we continue like that, i think i can live with the idea of CR as our coach. It's a bit sad though that some guys here are the first to call him names when we lose or draw, and then praise him for every win... That's a little too easy fellows...

Yes Ranieri deserves credit for it.No one should take it away from him.I still think we need a better manager if we're going to challenge for titles in the next few season.One great game does not make a great season.We need someone who can do it consistently.

But can Ranieri do it on a consistent basis?Lets wait and see.

jeez-oh you guys are worse than the residents of springfiled

"that guys sucks" everybody grabs pitchforks and tries to kill him

"that guys alright" everybody wants to hug him

teh simple matter is that you guys have been too harsh on ranieri, he is doing a decent job with probably the weakest Juve squad in living memory. that said he is not the man to lead us into the future but give him this season and let us gain CL qualification.
yes he did well last night but this is mancini and it is like outsmarting a baboon,when it really matters ranieri will not have the tactical nous to lead us to a title but he is doing exactly what we wanted him to at the start of the season

He is doing a decent job, I'm just soooo pissed with his inconsistency. He built a strong squad, we could see it yesterday, but we need a coach that'll help us win games against Empoli as well. If Ranieri learns how to do that (plus if he ends with his stupid media comments) I'll be glad to keep him.

actually i dissagree, we DO NOT have a strong squad. we ahve a strong 11-13 at a push but we have nowhere near the depth of squad taht we had in recent times. though he does make some strange decisions we do not have a scudetto-challenging squad yet,there is simply not enough quality in depth

We DO HAVE a team that can work harder that any other team in the world. And that is often what is needed to win the league. If only we could play like that against all teams...

We don`t have that strong team at all.Our bench is very weak most of the time.Team have higher moral when plays some derby,especially the one against Inter.

Right, Ranieri became a good coach just in the last few days. You ass-packers amaze me. Go cry about something else.

How you like Ranieri now, mother fuckers? Hehehe.

Seriously, I think it's like Ranieri said, we play our best against the big clubs because they try to attack, leaving us space to do the same. This Juve is not Capello's Juve that was constructed to slug it out with the packed-in defenses of the Serie A minnows. That's why Cap always won in Serie A and always floundered in Europe. We need to srike the right balance because there are many more minnows than giants in Serie A.

I trust in Ranieri. Yeah, he might be done some mistakes, for example, doing the frist XI or some subs - but we are in the 3rd position now, which is kind accomplishment even if we are Juventus. He recovered Legro who was a ghost season ago, the team has changed and has become more humble and fights for every sinle ball in the pitch, I don't know if he asked for Sissoko and re discovered (?) Chiellini as a CB.

You have done well, Claudio.

* I'm not saying because of the result against Inter

I still don't trust in Ranieri and still want him out. We won the match yesterday through the brilliance of our captain and fighting spirit that all Juventini possess in a match against those thuggish clowns. We will get back to dropping points once our natural passion goes missing again and our champions are unable to make a difference. Guaranteed.

Lets not forget we did drop points against the likes of Napoli and Udinese, having trouble beating the better sides home and away. However, matches against Inter and Roma bring out the best of us because we can't stand those clubs and our bellies are filled with fire whenever we meet on the pitch. We despise those clubs. We want to destroy them. The way our entire bench celebrated the goals yesterday tells you that our club exudes class and confidence united against our enemies, with that Juventino comradery providing us with the passion we need to beat anyone. This is the Juventino heart, not the work of Ranieri.

So our players should be more motivated when they play against "small" teams? Because that means that we lack of taste for victory, that we don't fight a ball in the same way that we do against Inter or Roma. That's maybe 40% Ranieri's fault. The player should be motivated, with taste of victory - the coach just might be like a "complement" of that motivation.

But it's not about being motivated against the likes of Empoli. We should beat them either way. And the reason why we don't always win those matches is because of stupid tactics that won't work when the opposition sits back all match long. You have to pull some strings and give our champions a little freedom.
