At least we got 1 goal in return , if we failed to win the Coppa and Out of CL spot , i demand the resignation of Ranieri . :faq2: this man sometimes does special but sometimes he just a man who's talking too much on the Media .

I should have known this would be 2 bizarre hours when I saw Biri, and not DP with the captains armband, and had to sit through 90 minutes of terrible commentating on GolTV

Our reserves are piss-poor for the most part, and Giovinco and Marchisio proved that they belong in Juve jerseys, unlike Almiron and Tiago

I watched our midfield get run over too many times today, and I saw too many shit tackles and fouls from these "superstars"

Tiago= no skill, heart, strength or desire

Almiron= where the fuck do I begin ???

Ranieri at least got one thing right this season, leaving Tiago and Almiron on the bench for Zanetti and Nocerino

Now, he needs to smarten up and sell Almiron back to Empoli, and bring back Seba

I think playin them together was the mistake,they do exactly the same role on the pitch,u cant play 2 players who play with the exact same way in one team.
Tiago was one of the best players on the pitch in evry game he started in Serie a(I think they were only 2 or 3 games).
I dont think that slaming him is the right way to go,honestly I didonly see the fist 30 min from the match so I cant argue about his form yesterday but I am confident that if he played beside either Zanetti or Necerino he will perform & bring great creativity in midfield which we r lacking.
As for Ranieri,I'll keep him this season,I think he can bring us a CL spot,but if we want to win anything in the future,then he is not the man,he was never a winner & he will never be one.

And these are player ratings from some mad Italian fan from Juworld.net

Even on the Internet I can see steam coming from his ears. :lol:


EMPOLI-JUVE 2-1: CHE SCHIFO!! MENO MALE CHE C’E’ IAQUINTA!! - di Francesco Capone da Procida

La Juventus perde ad Empoli per 2-1 dimostrando l’inadeguatezza delle seconde linee.....con una prestazione orrenda fino all’espulsione d’Almiron,poi per fortuna con l’ingresso di Iaquinta le cose sono cambiate di molto!!

Eccovi le pagelle:

Belardi(5,5):anche lui dà insicurezza rischiando di far prendere il 3-0 con un passaggio assurdo,poteva uscire sul primo gol...Non bene!!;

Birindelli(4,5):eek:rmai la sua carriera alla Juve è finita e deve rendersene conto...Giovinco lo scherza!!!;

Grygera(4):dire imbarazzante è un complimento,fà un’entrata da kamikaze che meritava l’espulsione,in affanno anche nei più semplici tocchi...Non ci siamo!!

Legrottaglie(4):irriconoscibile,viene scherzato sul primo gol,s’addormenta nelle uscite e non ci mette quella cattiveria giusta..Poteva giocare Boumsong a questo punto!!;

Salihamidzic(5):non s’è mai visto e questo vi fà capire che prestazione immensa abbia fatto...Però la sua qualità non eccelsa in questo contesto si nota di più!!;

Marchionni(6):l’unico che prova e spesso riesce a saltare l’uomo o farsi commettere falli..Ci mette voglia,anche se non sempre la qualità è immensa!!;

Almiron(3):è un voto di stima per un giocatore imbarazzante!!Non tiene un pallone,non vince un contrasto,si fà saltare con imbarazzante facilità!!Per fortuna viene espulso cosi segniamo....2 gol preso ed espulsione da farlo fuori dal calcio..Vergognoso!!;

Tiago(5):solita prestazione con poca personalità alla ricerca di passaggi prevedibili che riesce anche a sbagliare....Preoccupante e chiedo scusa a Ranieri per aver criticato il suo impiego!;

Criscito(4,5):meno male che era Coppa Italia altrimenti sai quante critiche sarebbero sorte,veramente in balia degli avversari;

Palladino(5):un’accelerazione e nulla di più!!Probabilmente è adatto a fare il trequartista o l’esterno,mentre per la punta non ha le caratteristiche adatte per sfondare!!;

Del Piero(6+):tanto impegno,voglia di fare ma a volte si perde in sè stesso...Corre come non mai,cerca di dribblare gli avversari che alla fine lo controllano abbastanza agevolmente,però alla fine s’inventa il colpo di genio della punizione a sorpresa come l’anno scorso per il gol di Palladino contro il Treviso...La classe non tramonterà mai!!

Sostituzioni:

65 Iaquinta(7)x Palladino:indispensabile in una squadra senza gioco...Con la sua lotta riesce a far diventare giocabili balle senza logica,come sempre previsto quest’anno da Ranieri....Altro gol e come avevo detto io è una grande soluzione se parte dalla panchina con gli avversari stanchi!!!

65 Molinaro(6)x Grygera:partecipa alla rimonta!;

68 Nocerino(6,5) x Marchionni:porta grinta,voglia di lottare ad un centrocampo imbarazzante!!!

Allenatore:Ranieri(4):ha proposto una squadra con un centrocampo troppo molle,un atteggiamento imbarazzante...Non si vogliono vedere queste prestazioni in un torneo che ritiene importante!!

Arbitro:Farina(4):la solita mediocrità che negli episodi importanti ci penalizza sempre volutamente..Un rigore netto non dato per fallo di mano di Raggi...numerose punizioni non date e via di seguito....Non lo vogliamo,anche se ha commesso un errore anche per l’Empoli non espellendo Grygera per un’entrata da dietro....Ma è proprio amico di Collina per arbitrare!!

P.S:Complimenti all’inter per l’ennesimo furto passato in silenzio perchè è troppa la superiorità!!Rigore farsa dato per fallo su Stendardo,vuoi vedere che D’AMATO farà carriera??????????

Just wondering, did Empoli's first goal cross the line?
I don´t know but even if it didn´t Farina would see it as a regular goal. Farina is a terrible referee and he hates Juve. If anyone remembers him from Juve matches in recent years, he´ll know what I´m talking about. I can even show you his stats.

Do you know how many yellows he gave?

Also Almiron got sent off for two yellows, first the foul and second for complaining, and in the first half an Empoli player, i believe Pratali, did the exact same thing, and was swearing at him cause i saw his lip movements, yet all he got was a yellow for the foul

I don´t know about yellows but I´m sure he wasn´t lenient. There were some dubious calls even last night but I am not sure I should talk about this anymore..... because apperently, when you do talk about these things you are a whining Inter fan. :melayyanandmessi:

Giovinco Not Ready For Juve Yet, Says Ranieri

Juventus Coach Claudio Ranieri saw his side beaten by Empoli last night in the first leg of the Coppa Italia, thanks to an extraordinary performance by Sebastian Giovinco.

Even though he was not on the scorsheet, Juventus owned Giovinco was the man of the match in the Coppa Italia clash.

However, Ranieri has no intention of recalling the young star in January as he wants him to get playing time with the Tuscan side during this season before joining the Old Lady.

"I wouldn't make an Almiron-Giovinco exchange," commented the former Parma coach at the end of the game.

"If I did so, I would not be giving too many opportunities, as he would only train with us, and this wouldn't be good for him."


With regards to the game which Juventus lost 2-1, Ranieri was not very satisfied.

"We pass the ball horizontally too much and this helped them," he declared. "I'm not disappointed, as I got a response from those who have played less this season.

"We had the reaction after the red card and thanks to an invention of Alex [Del Piero] we managed to score a goal which allows us to believe in our chances

He meant we don't move forward, the ball just goes from the left side of defence/midfield to the right side and back again
