[Coppa] Parma vs Juventus (16 Viewers)

[Juve per sempre]

Vinn...

I think Tiago wasn't that bad, sure he's not performing like Almiron, but I believe he'll perform soon, he's got it all. he just needs to adapt.

Of course he wasnt bad he played an average first half & a very good second & everybody saw that& even Ranieri praised his performence.
Tiago's job in a team is not easy to be understood by everyone ,he is not the kind a player who score goals,he is not the kind of players who make great assists & he is not also the kind of player who run & fight over every ball on the midfield & tackle everyone.
he is job in midfield is to make possesion & connect the defence to the attack & there are very few players outhere who can do this job right(pirlo,lampard,,van bommel,xavi,alonso etc......) & tiago is one of them.
He just need more time & he will give new prospective to our midfield but I am sure that a lot of people here wont start praising him until he scores or make an assist.
Forza Tiago

It seems that everything less than lifting the CL Trophy won't satisfy some of Juve supporters.

I'm not really sure what you guys see in Tiago tbh. I didn't see yesterday's game but the guy is an average midfielder. If it was up to me there's no way he would ever push Almiron, Zanetti or even Nocerino out of my starting lineup.

Man the guy only played officialy 1 match & 30 min. so far.
I had enough defending him,trust me he will get his startin place in the team very soon & he will prove to everybody that he is worse every penny.
Forza Tiago

lifting the scudetto will satisfy me.. and of coz.. beating inter merda..

 

[Vinman]

The exact formula that makes it a nice game, being owned and winning 3-1. Gives pleasure to my eyes. It upsets the opponent, their fans and you.



Vinman was never wrong, Tiago and Iaquinta are flops no matter what they do. Ranieri is a loser that will ruin Juve no matter what.

I guess you didnt read my whole post, as I gave Ranieri a rating of 6

If you are looking to make this a personal argument, go elsewhere, I'm not interested

so which one is it, did he play a good game, or does he need more time ??

I dont appreciate the insults of the previous post either...I see you shut off your reputation, are you sick of being neg repped by everyone or what ?

chill out

Tiago is not the Tiago of lyon thats for sure. He needs to get his game on with the quickness.

I've said it here before we signed him, Tiago has his moments. Lyon was the best thing that happened to him. But as far as quality goes, yes, I'd take him over Blasi or even Vieira in the 2005 Juve squads of yore, but that's not saying a lot.

I think people who expect him to come in as some sort of savior are going to be terribly disappointed. (I follow the Portuguese NT a ton, and I had mixed feelings about his signing -- but have committed to giving it a go and hoping for the best.) I also think a lot of juventini are holding him up to a standard that will ensure he will fail.

The reality is somewhere in the middle.

I'm not really sure what you guys see in Tiago tbh. I didn't see yesterday's game but the guy is an average midfielder. If it was up to me there's no way he would ever push Almiron, Zanetti or even Nocerino out of my starting lineup.

It depends on roles. I would generally prefer him over Zanetti. But he's not the role that Nocerino plays (he's not a snarling, aggressive destroyer).

imo i think he has the potential to be better than almiron but atm he is not playing at his best.

I'll go with that too.

na, Vinny, you gave Almiron & Tiago a way to low rating. All your ratings are, as if you have only seen the first half!

And btw.....where have we been controlled by Parma??? Maybe in the first 20 minutes, but after this, their performance was weak and they deserved to loose, as we were clearly the better team!

Well, I think that Tiago played quite well last night! In the first half he was nearly invisible, but in the second he was one of our best, I would say. I really like his movement. He is running clever routes when going forward. In the Livorno game, for example, I think that the Nedved goal was partly due to his running into the box, what irritated the defenders, what gave Nedved more time to shoot.

He is not our savior or the best mid we have ever had, but I think he will fit very good to our game. He is a team player, and noone who can turn a game by hhis own....

reputation!
these stuff are made for kids,I couldnt care less about it,I never gave a + or - rep to anyone,I am just here to discuss Juve & if someone start posting Bullshit & always slam the team just so he can feel Special,I'll tell him whatever I want!


As for Tiago as I said he played an above average game in overall,I saw most of his games with Chelsea,Lyon & Portugal & he still can do much much better than this but that doesnt mean that he sucked against Parma.
This guy is Pure class & u will see very soon what he is all about but I am sure not anyone can understand what he can do for a team cause a lot of people always look for 2 kind of players,either he scores & assists & be vital offensivly or he defends & tackles,& tiago is neither.

 

[tonykart]

Reputation points are so lame. I give them away now and again to people who really need them for their own self confidence. They are pointless and for people who take forums too serioously.

 

[Carlo D]

I keep on having to remember that we are what we are this season & that I cannot possibly expect the passionate Juve performances of season 2005-06 from our present side. Having said that, Parma were really poor & yet still we struggled against them for long periods of the game.

The important fact is that we won, of course...

He was average for Chelsea and played for a powerhouse in a weak league in France. Hard to judge him. He has a lot of good qualities, he is just not a great player. I think he is a good roster guy who would be utilized well throughout the course of a season. I certainly don't think he could ever be more important to us that Zanetti, Nocerino or Almiron. Nocerino is the only CM we had that has potential to be great. The others are just really good. Tiago is just average with the potential to be good.

It's completely absurd to label Tiago an "average" player. Sorry, but both of you didn't pay attention to his time at Chelsea and probably are dumbfounded by the fact Chelsea let him go. Mourinho wholeheartedly wanted to keep Tiago, however the player wanted to leave because Essien, in a class of his own, was purchased. 99% of Chelsea fans will tell you Tiago was a key player for them during 2004/ 2005 season where they won the Premiership and he had 51 appearances to boot. I remember that he did have a hard time at first in England, but after more and more appearances, he really started to show his worth.

But apparently you people don't want to give him time. Fine. I expect nothing more from a poster such as tonykart, though. I'm sure he didn't watch Ligue 1 nor the EPL during Tiago's stint in England, so his opinion really doesn't matter.

passionate Juve of 05/06!!
This team had 11 world class players & 9 of them played the world cup final & I was considering Juve that season as THE best team in Europe(in term of players) but when it comes to passion,I feel this team that we have now has a lot more passion than the 05/06 one.Just remember the Aresnal game in the CL or even the Bremen game.

I've said it time and time again, it takes a manager's mind to understand a player such as Tiago, not a biased supporter.

Cant wait for u to shut up everyone Tiago!
though I cant expect a lot of people here to understand what this guy is about

Oh yeah, I forgot he was so good and important to Chelsea that they let him go. I guess I don't understand how players that are important to a team stop playing for them. And Essien was just better... "class of his own", you mean better that Tiago who was average. Andy, you always question my intelligence, but you seem to struggle to grasp the fact that he wasn't important enough for Chelsea to keep.

Tiago is an average player with the potential to be a good player, as I said earlier. And NOTHING more. Almiron, Nocerino and Zanetti > Tiago Right now. I thought he would be better, but obviously he is a slow learner. That is fine, but you need to stop defending the indefensible.

There are Tiago fans and there is everyone else. Tiago fans really hold him in high esteem. I don't think he will ever be as good as you guys think he is, but I am sure that he will be a good element of our team sooner or later. I assure you that it is you Tiago supporters that are being unreasonable right now.

How many times do I have to tell you that TIAGO wanted to leave? MOURINHO wanted to KEEP TIAGO, but TIAGO WANTED to leave. Well-documented.

Is that so hard to understand? The reason why I question your intelligence is because everybody always has to baby-talk when discussing anything with you.

Again, this post just goes to show you know nothing about Tiago. He was more than an average player at Chelsea... that's why Mourinho started him and that is why he scored a few crucial goals and that is why Mourinho wanted to keep him.

But I'm through educating you regarding Tiago. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about, and considering you didn't respond to my claim that you haven't watched Tiago in Ligue 1 and the Prem, it's completely obvious you don't have a right to judge the player.

C'mon... you can't be serious. Why even pick up Essien then? If Tiago was so good wouldn't he still have a starting spot? Why would they do that. Common sense ratboy... common sense. I watch Ligue 1 and EPL all the time it is always on the TV in the states. I am not responding to that because I am above that. Who even says those things? It is childish. Argue the point.

Essien is in a class of his own, being the best destroyer in world football today. He was one of the top three destroyers during his last season with Lyon, so of course Tiago would be first choice from the bench but still a fantastic tool for Mourinho to bring on.

But shortsided Tonykart cannot put the puzzle together... football novice.
