yeap he deserve that .. that foul reminds me one at WC 2006 when, de rossi swung an elbow into the face of USA striker Brian McBride....
Ha maby a bit less blatant than thato ne.. as that was one of the most blatant elbows i have ever seen...

but yeah it was pretty bad.. Leggro will look pretty badass tomorrow though

This game had a bit of temp to it but it did not erupt into anything huge.. but who knows what will happen next time.

Sissoko could've been useful today actually, Nocerino is not up for these type of high pressured games.
nocerino may not be all that good. but it's not true that he isn't up for these kind of games. he was good against both milan and inter in serie a. it's just he's probably not at the desired level yet.

I don't wanna blame Ranieri for this particular match, cos yes, one would say we are suffering from injuries and our squad ain't capable of challenging for scudetto or competing against Inter but I blame him for most of the decisions he has made since he hired as our coach. He didn't fortify the team by buying a good defender or a creative midfielder, not to mention he had showed his ineptness before when he asked for Tiago and loaned Criscito when we badly needed defenders. I've read some comments on this forum in which some ppl believed that he has done his job alright up until now but I think he has not. If we are challenging for a CL spot and we are in the third place now, it's because the likes of Ale, Buffon, Zanetti and Trez who keep saving our asses in every single match. But Ranieri's decisions (on and off the pitch) cost us in every match and I doubt we make it for the CL in the end of the season.

I used to think Ranieri was doing the best he could with what little he had... and to an extent that's true. However, its become more and more evident that he's simply in over his head. While he's been given a team with some world class talent... there's a huge gap after those players. He's relying on very weak players and expecting his big guns to bail him out every week. He's not tinkering anymore, he's making very odd substitutions and very predictable formations.

Even his transfer requests are puzzling. I'm not sure he should even last till the end of February anymore. Sissoko has to really shine, or he's done.

Shame, really. I had such high hopes on him.
i don't really blame Ranieri for anything or don't like him. but it does seem he is more lucky than good. You are right to say he does not have much to work with aside from the top players we have. I don't see him losing his job though unless we fail to make CL...

Also i don't see a coach like Mourinho coming to a club like ours. We can't afford him (i think he cost like 4 or 5 times more in salary) and he wont want to come after seeing how the management works.

    As for the comments about Nocerino not being ready for such important games yet, i agree yet i don't think he is too far away in terms of his mentality it is just his technique is a little behind. He will improve over time though.

    At least Momo has more experience that him and is used to huge games .. he has been playing in them since he was 19. At 23 he is a veteran compared to Nocerino, and Molinero( who is also 23 ahahah)

    people and rival fans are forever going to cast up juventus fixing league titles..... its horrible....... a person i spoke to who had limited football knowledge said to me : Juventus? is that the team that got disgraced for fixing matches... i wish we could change history but will we ever shake off that reputation...... i hope so
    Man seriously Fuck those people. Who gives a fuck what they think. Nothing is proven against us and we all know it. And even if we cheated before we were punished and went to serie B and fought back again and now we're in 3rd place even with all these crap players (molinaro, sali....) No team in the world can do that, thats just a fact.........

    My thoughts:

    I guess there is not so much to say except that the team did what they could but at the end of the day we got really out played by one of the best sides in the serie a, The ref... Aaah I mean Inter.

    Its funny how even Inter players did not ask for a penalty.

    Oh god...

    They are calling him Super Mario Balotelli...

    and i thought it could not get any worse for us than Cruz control or Cruz missile ..

    :inter:

    I hope Roma/ Us!! win the league and Catania win the Coppa

    Scary thing is, with teams like Roma and Udinese coming up... and with Chiello, Zebina, Andrade and Buffon out indefinitely... without a wily coach, brilliant showings from Legrottaglie and Sissoko (did I just say that?) as well as continued expert play from the stars, CL might be in serious jeopardy, and UEFA country could be closer than we'd want.

    People need to show a little respect to BIRINDELLI. He's been a great fighter for us so anyone who says fuck him, FUCK YOU.
    just like balotelli toyed with him.....years of experience were swept away by a teenager!!!
    we need to make some drastic chnages...this squad really lacks the drive to go forward right now
    biri,molinaro,sali,nocerino,and even nedved should not be in our starting eleven!!!!!
    i really hope that whole mediaset contract worth 112 million euros goes thru
    the way i see it without 4-5 world class players were nothing but a better version of fiorentina or udinese
    this is disgusting....up one man for nearly the entire game in milan...up 2-1 at home and they still managed to beat us

    i love juve...i still do
    but its hard to watch us suffer time and time again esp with players like del piero,trez,zanetti,legro stringing some good performances but with shitty players in our ranks and a with a coach that seems to only benefit mid table clubs im preying we finish in the top four bcuz we belong there

    our first casualty for next season imo has to be SECCO!!!!sold mutu for nothing...spent 22 million on two anonymous players...let balzaretti go when he is ten times the player molinaro is...spent 10 million on an injury prone player in andrade...thats 32 million gone down the drain when we couldve bought 1-2 franchise players instead
    if sissoko fails...i say the hell with secco and ranieri!!!!!!hes their last straw imo
    i dont think the board of directors will keep watching some rookie ruin our great juve

    i only hope todays game will put a lot of heat on secco.....he has to be the shittiest director in italy right now
