Their defense looked rock solid on saturday.chelsea had so much trouble penetrating their half.they actually can man mark the opponent, drogba looked useless and anelka helpless.
On the other side our defense better outperform themslves on all departments or we'll be an embarrassment.

we are facing the toughest opposition from this season...i hope we won't lose for the sake of our morale and for the fact that we play printer next, and for the fact that we will have 1 point from 2 matches on the tables. We gotta make our life easier for the future months.

Defense. That's the most part I'm concerned about when I see their forward line up. Any slip ups against them and we will be punished. Hopefully we manage to get some away goals too.

Let's hope they underestimate our squad, but with Mancini on board I'd very much doubt it.

Amarui and Iaquinta can hardly put together 3 matches in a row these days - always one or the other or both are injured.

In any case - If Juve can tighten up in defence (big if), you never know what might happen

I will be pessimistic about this one and would love nothing more than to be proven wrong, but I think our defence, as they have been doing all season long, will fuck us up. Didn't look remotely strong vs cagliari.

Our defense must be careful, they have a few injuries no?
The only people still injured at the back are Kolarov and Bridge. Richards will probably be available on the bench. Their first eleven are back, just in time to play against us and they also got an extra day to rest :frown:

I'm on the fence with this one. Tevez can really rip our defense a new one. If our midfielders can actually dominate the middle of the park, we should take city down.

Funniest thing is we lost heaviest to the weakest team of them all, Fulham...

Even w/o these results, it's plain to see Juve currently cannot compete on any high levels. Lech (who?) was enough proof for that
