Good show of common sense by Del neri, and i hope its a sign of things to come...As the way he was speaking a week or two back gave the impression that DP would play whenever fit. That doesn't seem to be the case...perhaps he was misquoted before.

Diego and Amauri looked very lively together last week, so they should continue to start, until they look less useful. Then DP and Trez can have a pop...

I think that was before he got to see Diego in action.

I have a feeling that since Diego knows he will have trouble fitting in a 4-4-2 he has been giving his all in training to make sure he has a spot in this team.

Apparently DN seems to have noticed.

O'Neill:

“It’s been fantastic for the club financially and the whole experience has been fantastic for us to host one of the great European clubs in Tallaght. I don’t think it’s something anyone would trade for an easier life in terms of the league campaign.

“We’re more than happy to deal with this. The reality is we wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.”

“It will be difficult, but the aim is to get a victory. (But) we’re not under any illusion. The quality Juve have and the cost to assemble it and cost of individual players.

“It’s a different planet from the environment we operate in. We have to have belief. We never gave ourselves a chance to get that when losing an early goal in the first game.

“We have to be patient, we have to recognise the quality of the system. When we changed the system to 4-4-2 we had a period of the game where we had the upper hand.

“It’ll be difficult to score, but we’ll aim to do that. There’s no expectation on us. Sometimes, that’s a nice position to be in.

“It’ll be a good experience to play away from home against opposition of this quality, and it can only add to players’ game knowledge and education to play them at this level.”

Marchisio:

It is true, (Shamrock Rovers) is physically very strong, especially from corners. They can prove to be difficult for our defence.

“They have a very good opportunity. I’m sure they want to prove that they can play well against Juventus. To prove that to themselves and their fans.
