[Europa League] JUVENTUS 3-1 Fulham (Mar. 11th 2010) (11 Viewers)

[Stu]

Why is Chiellini missing next week? And I totally agree, the encounter is very far from being decided.

Isn't he hurt?

People here are underestimating Fulham based on their performance tonight. Just ask Liverpool and Man Utd what happened when they went to the Cottage.

wonderful night. We are definitely gonna qualify into the next round

I have watched Juventus throw away far too many 2nd legs to be so confident, especially to English teams.

If he got injured on Sat and is out for a week how will he not be back 10days later?

 

[Alen]

Fair enough, but I'm guessing when Alen named him as a good passer he had our other midfielders in mind to compare with, and not the likes of say.. Xavi.

Anyway, we understand eachother it seems.

Yeah, it really wasn't needed to make that debate so long. I should have made myself more clear.
Poulsen is very good passer for a DM. Which means short passing, keeping it simple and calmness, with an occasional deep ball.
Incomparable with what is widely accepted as "good passer", of course.

 

[X Æ A-12]

But connecting on simple passes doesn't make him a great passer. Earlier in the season he was trying more difficult balls and he couldn't pull them off... because he isn't a quality passer.

Keeping it simple makes him a smart DM doing his job.

Well I never said he is a great passer but consistently finding a teammate in a crowded midfield with no time on the ball even if he is only a few meters away is nice to see after suffering through some of Melo/Momo's poor performances. I guess my standards have been lowered somewhat this season but I hate seeing possession given away so foolishly

Don't even know why I am saying this tho, I dislike Poulsen and would be happy to see him leave this summer

I agree with Stu. Fulham is good at home and Dempsey will probably be back starting, hopefully getting his form back.

 

[Ken]

I love how we all keep coming to the same conclusion about Poulsen, yet keep throwing arguments back n forth about his ability to pass the ball. Let's move on..

 

[Stu]

I'd say Diego has been the best, but Marchisio has been consistently decent. Went missing at times but it wasn't a disaster.

Diego had a mediocre patch before Christmas.

Great game, etuhu goal was very lucky.. FORZA JUVE

 

[Nicholas]

Greening and Etuhu both man marked Diego, that will not happen in the second leg and he will have space. Rest him this weekend.

 

[JCK]

Do you expect us to not score at Fulham?

Anything can happen.

What I meant is that 3-1 is not similar to 2-0 rather 4-1 is more similar to 2-0.

Do you expect us to not score at Fulham?

every game differs man..and after what shows juve pulled this season you don't know what to expect.. But i'm sure zach with his tremenduos experiences (he had tons of these kind of away games) will prepare the guys for what they'll face in england.

 

[Alen]

I agree with Stu. Fulham is good at home and Dempsey will probably be back starting, hopefully getting his form back.

Can we hope Dempsey to do it after Thursday?

 

[JCK]

Just to make the game more exciting.

 

[Bjerknes]

Diego had a mediocre patch before Christmas.

As did all the other players as well.

What?

 

[Stu]

If he got injured on Sat and is out for a week how will he not be back 10days later?

My bad I thought he was out for a month.

I agree with Stu. Fulham is good at home and Dempsey will probably be back starting, hopefully getting his form back.

Murphy will make a difference too. Greening being suspended means they still won't be at full strength but I expect them to be a whole lot better than they were tonight.

 

[Bjerknes]

Can we hope Dempsey to do it after Thursday?

OK, that's fine with me.

You mean after Fulham get knocked out

Agreed. And how gay is your pic?
