My player of the game : Iaquinta
He scored 2 goals and creted the penalty. The best game for him this year.

Nedved also was briliant and he added creativity in our midfield. Without him we would be nothing tonight.

Boumsong was totaly down. Chiellini should have played all the game.

If we won this match, we won it because of Nedved and Iaquinta's presence ONLY! I can't believe we left this match at luck, say whatever you want, but we played like shit. Our midfield is a complete joke, they look like they never trained together before, and this is their first ever match.

Belardi: Why is this guy playing? isn't he as the same age as my father? he is a shit, why we bought him, why are we resting Buffon? Is he tired :faq1:

Boumsong: yeah, I think enough is enough, he just looked like a clown there. The master of errors, and he gets paid loads of money for being clown??

Tiago didn't impress at all, but I think he had a little better performance, still there is no reason to keep him, as he is not the guy we are looking to, we need creativity, our major lack that only 50 year old nedved has and once-in-a-month-gets-injured Camo has!

Marchionni: Keeps disappointing, I have seen much better performances of him.

Nedved: I can't believe that this guy is over 30. one words that describes him "GOD"

Iaquinta: A true fighter, call him lucky or whatever you want, but this guy makes his own luck with hard work! Stop benching him Ranieri!

Del Piero: crazy misses, but his presence added creativity to the game, and worked great against a tired Empoli.

Ranieri: I really don't care anymore if he gets sacked. I prefer it at the end of the season, when he takes us to CL spot, that's all he can do guys, I believed and still believe that since the day he came. I would support him, but his view to the game (which is defensive as it seems, and not creativity or attacking minded) made me lose my patience..

We were very lucky guys, very lucky! We owe this qualification to Nedved and Iaquinta ONLY!!

The most entertaining match i've seen in a while.
We deserved to score at least 8 goals and we could have easily scored 10 goals tonight.
Empoli scored 3 goals from 3 chances and it was our pathetic defense tonight the reason why they scored their goals.
Kudos to Nedved and Iaquinta. Those were world class performances from the 2 of them.

Bellardi 5.00
3 shots , 3 goals
----
Birindelli 6.50
The guy was the only decent defender during the entire 90 minutes. Although, Empoli didn't really attack from his side
----
Molinaro 5.00
He did run more than anyone else (not counting Nedved) but he really has no clue what's he supposed to do most of the time. I defended him a lot once, but he's hurting our team. I don't hold him responsibile for the first goal even though it was his man that outran him and crossed the ball. But for the second ball it's all his fault. He saw Empoli's winger and yet he decided to cover space insted of running after him. Of course, after the ball was passed to the winger he had no-one in front of him and he had all the time in the world to make a cross.
Our man Molinaro was only watching the Empoli players score a goal, 10 metres out of the position where he should have been.
For the 3rd goal he was again nowhere to be seen eventhough everything happened on his side of the pitch.
He's been awful defensively and slightly worse attacking-wise :)
----
Chiellini 6.00
I just hope he's not injured. He's been the one leading our defense until the injury and then everything felt apart when Boumsong replaced him
----
Grygera 4.50
He couldn't have been worse. All 3 goals were scored by the man he was covering.
----
Zanetti 6.00
Lost a lot of balls in the first half and didn't defend the midfield well. He was a wall in the second half
----
Tiago 5.00
Very disappointing performance again. I'm really sorry for this guy because i really like him. At least he found himself in 2 chances tonight. But it would have been better for his confidence if he didn't have these chances
----
Marchionni 7.00
Great in the first half. He changed positions all the time and combined well with Palla, Nedved and especially with Iaquinta. His goal was a joy to watch.
Great job Marco
----
Nedved 9.00
Probably his best match this year. He was everywhere. Scored, assisted, made at least 3 clear chances for the others. He fought for every ball.
I'm serious, if i didn't know how old he is i'd have sweared that i was watching a 26 years old world class midfielder tonight. Our alpha and our omega in the midfield.
----
Palladino 6.00
He's done less than everyone else in attack. Solid performance but far from special.
----
Iaquinta 9.50
As Jack called him : Bulldozer !
Where should i start.... he won every single duel, he won at least 10 balls, he fought like a lion, he was always putting presure on their defenders and they were panically shoting the ball, he created many chances, he played in the center, on the left, on the right, the penalty for 5:3 was made over him, he scored 2 goals, he scored a cracker for 3:2. Last and not least....the fans adore him :)

Subs :
Boumsong 4.50
:lol2: :lol2:
----
Del Piero 6.50
Scored the decisive goal from PK, had 2-3 great first touches, but that chance he missed :(
I only hope it won't influence his performance on Sunday. Overall very solid
----
Salihamidzic 6.00
He also ran a lot and he was involved a lot in attack. But like Del Piero, he just shouldn't have missed his chances. He's giving his all for our team and i like it.

My ratings:

Belardi 4
(version of Scooby doo, scared of every single ball)

Birindelli 6.5
(Our only decent defender tonight)

Grygera 3

(Next time when Legro is injured, put Trezeguet or Del Piero as CB. Would be much better and safer. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE)


Boumsong 3
(I feel sorry for him most of the times, but wtf was that tonight :lol:??... cinema? circus? oh my god)


Molinaro 2.5/3
(In the name of Allah, Prophets, Jesus Christ, Mohammad, take him OUT NOW.... he freaks the shit out of me each time he plays.... Iaquinta was struggling against 2 defenders and Molinaro was standing watching him like nothing is happening...)


Tiago 5

(Wasn't that bad, first 20min he done pretty well, he's just being unlucky to me)


Zanetti 6.5
(Our motor in the middle. 2nd goal started pretty impressive and smart from him)

Nedved 9

(MOM...One in a million Pavel:touched:...strength, power, stamina all these are in this man....long live Pavel)

Marchionni 7.5
(Our best player in the first half, well done Marco for scoring and assisting)

Iaquinta 9
(Patriot...Patriot...Patriot)


Palladino 5.5
(He tried alot but never managed, hard luck Palla)


Del Piero 8
(Calm like usually, experience always saving us....never try to lob the keeper when the opponents just keep scoring:D)


Salihamidzic 6.5
:lol2::lol2: wtf was that at the end

    Before we get the penalty observe what Boumsong does and then afterwards look what Molinaro does and remember me :D

    I lost the patience with Ranieri and our management, I have been defeding them alot, but enough is enough, I had it, and I refuse to see another Juventus match just to suffer like this.

    Stop Killing my team!!!
