If only this guy was more consistent .
That makes as much sense as walking around Zagreb popping only red Skittles in your mouth and trying to dropkick the other colors while telling passer-bys that the red checkers on the BANDIERA Croazia should be removed and have, in their place, images of Arkan's face. You know, so that everything is more consistent.

Vlatko , you're more into the stats about Trez so i guess you're the man to ask this question :

In season 2005/06, Trez scored at least a goal in 9 consecutive serie A matches.
Round 9 - Juve-Sampdoria 2:0 , Trezeguet, Mutu
Round 10- Milan-Juve 3:1 , Trezeguet
Round 11- Juve-Livorno 3:0, Ibrahimovic, Trezeguet, Del Piero
Round 12 - Roma-Juve 1:4 , Nedved, Ibrahimovic, Trezeguet (2)
Round 13 - Juve-Treviso 3:1 , Mutu, Trezeguet, Del Piero
Round 14 - Fiorentina-Juve 1:2 , Trezeguet, Camoranesi
Round 15 - Juve-Cagliari 4:0 , Nedved, Trezeguet (2), owngoal
Round 16 - Lazio - Juve 1:1 , Trezeguet
Round 17 - Juve-Siena 2:0 , Cannavaro, Trezeguet

I don't remember reading about this as a record, but i also don't remember someone scoring at least a goal in 9 consecutive serie A matches.
Do you have more info about this and if it's a record ? And if it's not the serie A record, do you know who holds the record ?
Not that much into stats but I remember that particular record, I was sure Trez was gonna beat it but didn't. Batistuta holds the record for scoring in most consecutive games in a season, he scored 11 times in a row.

Consistency is the wrong word here .
Glad you realized that.

Yeah, Thank you. What a shame :frown:
He really deserved to become a record holder for his form back then. We couldn't stop winning and we set a record of points at half-season (17-1-1 , 52 points) but it was Mutu who gave us the win against Palermo and Alex won the three points for us against Reggina. If only Trez scored a goal in these matches, he would have at least equalised Batistuta's record.
The hat-trick he then scored to Ascoli after only 17 minutes of play would have been the icing on the cake.
I doubt anyone in near future will get as close to Batigoal's record as Trez did in 2005/06.

Yeah, it would have been some achievement.

It's a difficult record, to score 11 times in a row, a lot of things must fall into place; coach's decisions(you don't always get to play), injury free, no suspension and of course the whole team doesn't always score in every game let alone one player.. As things are now that record will stay in place for a long time to come and the owner of it is a legend, though Trez would be a great choice to take it over.

Unless Ibra breaks it. :D

He is one dimensional and that's a big deal for one simple reason . He depends on his team to have a good game so he could have a good game . If the midfield disappears , he disappears . In other words , if Juve is inconsistent , Trezeguet is inconsistent . The only thing that covers that flaw is the fact he scores goals , and that's great . But my only concern is when we play a game against a tough side and nothing is going right for us , and our team just can't create chances . Would you rather have a player like Del piero or Trez to turn the game around a steal a victory ?

You can call players consistent(strikers) even if they don't score goals because they do something on the pitch . You can only call Trez consistent when he does score goals and for no other reason because his performances are never really that impressve , it's the number of goals he scores that make him impressive .

So here's the thing , if Trez played for a team that couldn't set him up in attack , would he even be noticed ? Probably not .
I know it sounds stupid to call a guy that scores nearly every game inconsistent , but just try looking at trez and the way he plays sometimes . You won't get impressed . I knw what you're gonna say , it's not his job to give passes etc. but that's not true . players like Crespo , Drogba , Henry etc.. play in the same position as Trez but when they don't score they perform well . Trez touches the ball about 7 or 8 times in 90 mins , if he scores he had a great game , if he doesn't he had a bad game .

Consistency is the wrong word here .
Sorry revo, I will have to stand up here. Remember in Cagliari's game ? remember his goal. That wasn't even a chance, yet he scored. What makes Trez special that he scores from half a chance.. hell quarter of a chance is good enough for him .. Trez isn't one dimensional, only coaches want him to be like that. see him this season he actually exists (even for short periods) in the midfield, apparently Ranieri wants him to do another job other than being a poacher. Comparing him with those players is just wrong. they're out-of-the-box players. I would compare him with the likes of Toni and Van Nistelrooy. They're zonal players. Remember the latter in Man Utd ?? the thing he's done best is using his head on Beck's crosses. That was his objective according to Ferguson. Look at him now at Madrid, He's creating chances, having nice plays with Raul and Robinho. That's what his coaches at Madrid wanted from him .. Same goes with Trez. IMO.

In the end, as long as you consider Trez as our best scorer and a legendary Juventino, I don't really care if you think he's one dimensional or inconsistent. He does the job he's being paid for in my eyes and everyone's eyes .. :)

Omair has got a point, Trezeguet's role has changed a lot with Ranieri in charge. He's coming to help out the midfield & defense a lot more, pressure's opposing defenders and goalkeeper, something he rarely did in the previous years. I like it, he seems really eager to play, that year in Serie B has really charged up his batteries.

Well .. I think the reason coaches want Trezeguet to be one dimensional is because he is more or less one dimensional . If he could dribble past defenders , make good crosses , and give excellent passes , it wouldn't make sense to play him the position he is in . I think every coach plays his players according to their abilities and how they can help the team most . I don't think Trez has any hidden abilities , he's been playing for the team for about 7 years , if he could do more than he could I think we would have known by now . Since you have given Luca Toni as a valid comparison to Trez , let's compare them . I remember watching Toni at Viola and he was involved in most if not all of Fiorentina's goals . HE gets more involved in plays more often han Trez , if he doesn't score and he's having an off-game he uses his power or height to help his teammates out . So even if he doesn't score he still has a good game . If Trez doesn't score , this means he's non-existent or he hasn't touchd the ball yet . That's the only thing that bothers me about him .

Trezeguet would depend on his mates to assist him to score goals , but he really can't do much about it himself . even the goal he scored against Cagliari , I wouldn't call that half a chance , a difficult chance , maybe , but nothing less than a good chance . Camo headed the ball towards the goal and Trez caught it in mid air in a good position right infront of goal . What I'm saying is simply this . Why would Trez never be nominated for the player of the year category for instance ?
It's because he has limited abilities . It's not because of his role or position . That's just him , that's how he was and will always be .

He's a team player , if his team he plays well , but not vice versa . If Kaka or Fabregas play well their teams play well , the team is dependent on these players that's why they get nominated for the player of the year awards all the time .

because is inzaghi is like stern john, if you know who that is.
The guy who played for Birmingham city and is from Trinidad and Tobago ?
No , I don't know him .

I do know Inzaghi plays for the Italian national team and he scored 2 goals in the champions league final . I also think that other than scoring goals somehow , he can't really do anything else . A one dimensional player if you want , How is he any different from Trezeguet ?

ok, he's not as bad as stern john, but he's the same type of player. both are technically very crappy, very unathletic, goal poachers that miss sitters, yet they are heroes because they always manage to score the important goals.

doesn't sound like trez to me, except for the hero part.

Inzaghi was never a player I admired , actually I hate the guy . But I admit , he's a very good player when it comes to what he does best . In fact Trezeguet and Inzaghi are very much alike , they don't egt involved in many plays , they barely touch the ball the whole game but they somehow manage to score goals and save their teams . I don't know why its insulting at all to compare the two players .

because trez is a weapon, inzaghi is an incidental player. they are 2 different players but their job is the same. trez throughout his entire career has been a bigger threat than inzaghi, trez doesnt facilitate attacks thats why he may not touch the ball that often, he finishes the job like a striker should. inzaghi is not regarded as a pure finisher like a trez or zlatan even. 2 different types of players that you are comparing.

Except that Trez doesn't get caught offside ten times in a game.

trezeguet just doesn't try to break offside traps like inzaghi does. in that way inzaghi participates more in attack.

ok inzaghi is offside 10 times a game, but the eleventh is goal

but i hate how he only runs when he scores
