Sell Almiron, sell Grygera, bring back Marchisio and Giovinco and buy one good central defender and this team will make wonders.

Good that Iaquinta scored a goal so we will actually have a better chance to qualifying further.

YES - YES - YES - YES - YES.

Why was Birindelli captain?

Either you're a dumbass or you don't watch Juventus that often. Tiago was great the last time he started a Serie A match and wasn't bad on his Serie A debut start.

There is no other explanation for this besides Ranieri not giving them more of a chance and benching them no matter what they fucking do. Fuck Ranieri.
Actually Tiago was good today but Almiron was like a black hole sucking up everything good his team mates were doing. I am sure he will not start ever again, I might say his chances to make the bench are also slim.

I'm not too worried. This is just a blip, but Ranieri's an idiot for fielding two midfielders who aren't meant to play at the same time. If you're playing Tiago or Almiron, it's one or the other along with a defensive midfielder. Even I fucking know that...

The only reason why I liked Ranieri is because he used to rotate the side and give every player a chance to perform. That's what he did at Chelsea, that's what he did at Valencia. But now at Juventus he never changes the side, never changes the tactics, never gives anybody a chance.

So fuck Ranieri and get his worthless ass out of here.

I didn't see the game but I agree, Almiron and Tiago should not play together in a 4-4-2 system. Just doesn't make sense.

And nobody shoud shoulder the blame besides Ranieri.

As Holdon said, you can't judge a player who is benched unjustifiably all season and never given a chance, even as a sub.

It has an easier way. Get rid of Ranieri at the end of the season and hire one who knows it's stupid to spend lots of money on a player and then bench him without giving him a decent chance...One who knows it's stupid to play with 11 bench players in a match.

That's correct, I expected a lot from Almiron because I liked him during his period in Empoli. But obviously Ranieri doesn't need him, so it will be a win-win situation if we'd sell him.
