Same old story: yet another player who doesn't have the mental toughness to take the pressure of playing for a top club.

But we should surely bring him back just because he was "good" today...

I thought Hleb was very wasteful and made a lot of poor decisions.

Then again, I don't rate Hleb, so that may have been a good game for him.

How can you not rate Hleb? He's actually the sort of player you should like, considering your views.

How can you not rate Hleb?

I don't like his playing style.

He links the play nicely, but I want more than that from a player who spends so much time in the final third.

He just isn't decisive often enough for my liking.

I don't rate him all that highly myself. Wasn't all that disappointed when he left. Too inconsistent, too fragile mentally and generally a Class A choker.

Back to today's game, While he did make a few bad decisions here and there, he was the creative spark in Stuttgarts side today, he just toyed with Puyol all game long and gave a few nice passes to his teammates.

Ranieri must have ruined several players then...

I doubt. Molinaro was Ranieri's "son", remember?
Maybe the older players were the ones who didn't give a chance to Moli, yelled at him whenever he made a mistake (I remember Nedved doing it) and they killed his confidence.

Actually, I think Red got it. Moli didn't have the mental strength to make it in Juventus. I don't expect him to do good again for Juve so I'm just hoping that he impresses in Germany so Stuttgart will buy him.

 

[king Ale]

Honestly i don't want anyone from their team. If molinaro looked that good imagine how their players will look in our team.

It would have been true if Molinaro was good only comparing to other Stuttgart players. But he did a really decent job in a top-level game in Europe against Barcelona.

Exactly. He had many wrong passes which let Barca start counterattacks.

Agreed.

Now here's a question that will rock the nation, how did the 4-4-2 function in the first half? Red? Alen?

Nedved is the bad guy now? Funny.

He just sucks as a player. That's the bottom line.

Good for them.

 

[only-juve]

That's not a fair assessment at all. Weird statement. This team here could use the likes of Hleb and Tasci, that's for damn sure.

Not everyone who looks great in one team would be great in another. My point is, imagine if molinaro who i'd say 99,99% of juve fans wanted him out is looking like a class act in their team how would the players that are performing well with them would look with us?

Stuttgart did very well, but I don't think it was neccesarily due to the 4-4-2.

It was more to do with the aggression and pace they showed and how quickly they got men forward.

 

[Alen]

Nedved is the bad guy now? Funny.

No, but he did yell at Moli a lot.
Can't really blame Nedved cause I know I'd have yelled at Molinaro too, but it's a fact that Molinaro looked really scared and insecure while at Juve and it's hard to believe that it was due to the coach who always played him.

Meh, you missed my point.

 

[SABSAB]

Bah Stuttgart could and should have won this one

Says the Grygera fan.

I fail to see how that is relevant to my dislike of Hleb's style.

The question is just silly, especially since it is just one game we're talking about. I'm not going to waste time explaining why it's retarded to judge one player because of another player's performance, so I'll just leave it right here. Waste of time.

Says the Grygera fan.

at least he's better than zebina

Grygera doesn't produce goods in any third, yet you like him.

finally i saw the barca that ciro was talking off. this is the barca he wanted us to play like ... and he partly achieved it ...

very disappointing barcelona today, for my liking... (or should i claim they are overrated?)
