As I said during halftime: interesting game for us, probably our most interesting one so far. I assume Ciro saw the same things I did and hope he now has a better idea of what works and what doesn't work.
Our new guy Caceres definitely has potential, but I can see why he barely played at Barca. He is a walking definition of "not ready for 1st team football".
Canna did okay so far in the previous friendlies I saw and also in the first half today, but his second half was worrying.
Molinaro was nowhere near as bad as you guys make him out to be. Sure, he was maybe a little slow in his reaction on the second goal (not that the goal was his fault though, not at all), but keep in mind that he just returned from an injury. I don't think his fitness level is up to par with the rest of the team.

can't judge him from once time.He need to learn the language and continue with this good clean tackles.
Defending was a bit nasty but I want to see Caceres as a CB now. See if he is more comfortable, no matter if he can play out wide.
I don't like the fact that our strikers had to go out wide today to hold up play. There wasn't really anyone to make something happen for them and I think we needed an extra midfielder on to help make more things happen in the area.
I like Zebina a lot after pre season so far, really making right back his starting spot.

Are you kidding? What about the rest of our defensive mistakes? Are they all his fault too?
:edit: this quickly rose in the ranks as one of the worst game analysis's ever
no, i am not enjoying it (if you mean the game).
my girlfriend just asked why she did not hear me curse, when juve is losing 1-4.
its just a friendly, yes....
what i do enjoy is that pretty much everything from the tactic gurus here that was predicted to be better when ferrara is in charge was negated in this game (and a few before too). i know, they will not even notice that they do talk shit and next opportunity they will talk the same cheap crap theories over and over again thinking they ate the wisdom with the spoon.
i am not trying to do the "cronios"-job here, i am just disgusted of how much simple mans theories are spread and sold as game knowledge like "if the coach was a defender, then the team will defend better, playing under him"... i could go on and on now, but that is not the topic here.
i hope caceres gets told a few things about positioning by ferrara
tahnk you ... pretty much SPOT ON

It's k to lose in pre-season no one is angry about that...what I'm angry about is the fact that we were made to look like amateurs and could have easily let in even more. The midfield was completely overrun and we were playing 3 v 5 there hence the defence was under constant pressure. There was no pressing by the midfield whatsoever...
