Good performance. Smart subs by Zach.

Are we missing Legro in the 2nd leg?

Yes Legro will miss second leg :frown:

poulsens strength is one touch passes and saying this is "mediocre" or not good, does really undervalue that .... if any player could play that decent one-touch passes the other team would have hardly a chance to ever see the ball, because it is rotated so fast ... but this skill can only be used when the others actually run and thats whats happening here ...

 

[blondu]

Calm passer, to put it better. We did need calmness in midfield after what Melo and Sissoko have been doing to us this season

Btw, isn't it sad to see how little this team needed to have a completely different season? When someone who's widely considered an average coach could make this team play football and organize it so well, one can only wonder where would have we been this year if those idiots in the board splashed money on a top coach.

i donno man, it ain't only ciro's fault...our weakness is still the defence, even if zebina scored...just pronouncing his name after all these years makes me wonder how on earth Juventus didn't found a guy to replace him (the same thought comes when i see grygera too) ..

 

[JuveJay]

Do you guys feel safe when Marchisio has the ball? I always feel nervous when Sissoko has the ball, I have the same nervousness when Melo and Camo have the ball because you can never know what will those two try. But when Marchisio has the ball it feels so safe.

I know what you mean. Less so for Camo, both he and Melo can pass perfectly when they keep it simple but try difficult moves, Momo is just terrible at times.

 

[Ken]

The discussion wasn't about anybody else besides Poulsen. And he's not a very good passer.

But he still deserves praise today for putting in defensive work and keeping it simple. And calm, as Alen said.

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.

 

[Juve_Kosova]

Poulsen was one of the best!. Made one bad pas after 2 min, and from that on, he was spot on all game! Canna, Diego, Candreva, Marchisio, Zebina also very good game! Well the team played as a TEAM!.. The first half was superb.

 

[IrishZebra]

Giorgio will probably make it....

 

[Nicholas]

Great win, that away goal was nulified with our third.

 

[JCK]

Anyone who thinks it's going to be this easy next week is mistaken. Fulham are dangerous at home and they were missing one of their most influential players tonight. With Chiellini and Legro absent we're going to have our work cut out for us.

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

 

[Stu]

He's a neat player. Doesn't try anything he knows he can't pull off. I liked how he hooked up with Diego a few times during the match, including that last Diego shot where Marchisio put in a nice through ball.

An efficient player.

Our best player so far this season imo.

 

[Tommy]

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

 

[JCK]

Great win, that away goal was nulified with our third.

Not really, I would say a 4-1 would have nullified the goal we conceded.

 

[Bjerknes]

Just because he doesn't play brilliant thru balls and cross field passes doesn't mean he is a bad passer. The short passing game is very important for a DM even if it is just to maintain possession instead of building an attack.

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.

 

[JuveJay]

Not really, I would say a 4-1 would have nullified the goal we conceded.

Yeah I sort of agree, 2-0 and 4-1 are quite similar, especially is you look like scoring as we do on that evidence.

 

[Christina]

Great game, it was nice to see the team perform well for once.

 

[Nicholas]

Not really, I would say a 4-1 would have nullified the goal we conceded.

Do you expect us to not score at Fulham?

 

[Marc]

Before hailing begins I want to say that Fulham sucked.

Go on now.

Did you catch the game on telly, dude?

 

[Ken]

Great win, that away goal was nulified with our third.

Meh.

If we were to concede an early goal there, I expect a real shakey performance and wouldn't be surprised to see us choke. It's still a bit difference from 2-0 imo.

Anyway, that's just hypothetically spoken, I don't expect us to give this away to a side like Fulham.

 

[Bjerknes]

Our best player so far this season imo.

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

 

[Klin]

For people saying that Poulsen is not a good passer, by keeping it simple doesn't mean it's bad. In fact, our midfield today was more organized and comfortable with him.

On the game, it was nice to see us scoring 3 goals in 1 match. It has been a long time. Though I believe we'll see a different Fulham at Craven Cottage.

MOM Cannavaro.
