Coppa Italia: Juventus - Empoli [Jan 15, 2008] (28 Viewers)

Marchionni was excellent today. I dont see why he doesn't get a bigger role in the team he is always great when he plays. This was a very strange football match Juve could have had 8 or 9 goals if not for some embarrasing misses. The defence was awful. Molinaro was killed out on the flank and Boumsong was terrible.
When in form Marchionni is a great player. the reason he does not get a bigger role is he has terrible luck with injuries. Lets hope he can stay fit and be decisive for us in the 2nd half.
Boumsong was not too good but played a bit better towards the end of the game. Maby with time he will play himself into some form. He played fairly well in preseason but then injured him self.
I was shocked by the misses from Ale and Sali but lets hope it will make them a bit sharper in Serie A. We got away with it today.

At HT it was clear we needed some type of spark, but because of injury and suspension, the best we could do was bring on Brazzo for Tiago (who was invisible yet again). Poor choice by Ranieri. I would have brought in Del Piero, played him behind Palladino and Iaquinta, with Nedved and Marchionni as the 2 attacking wide players. The management are fooling themselves if they think we dont need any1 in January. A player like Giovinco would be very useful.
Gyrgera was horrible. Terrible marking on all 3 goals. Boumsong was shit as well and Molinaro looked lost. Birindelli was the least bad of the 3, but he didn't really contribute much, he just made fewer errors compared to the other 3.
The goal where Molinaro was outpaced for the cross, that could have been avoided had Boumsong and Molinaro not gone after the same guy. Boumsong should have pressured the player with the ball, while Molinaro covered his tracks, which would have taken care of the player running down the side line. Its elementary defending, and at that level, those types of errors should never happen.
If Chiellini or Legro get injured, we screwed. Conceding 3 goals to Empoli at home is pathetic.
Iaquinta and Nedved were MOTM. Marchionni was impressive as well, but he faded in and out of the game after a very good opening 20 minutes.

its never good to loose, but to get humiliated and by inter is 
Oh man, it's even funnier reading it again and thinking what it would be like to read this forum 2-3 years ago with a post like this.
