it is good to hear that juve is playing entertaining football but we have also to score goals and defence to be solid .

I've watched the highlights and i must that we didn't play as bad as some dudes here are describing. We created many chances and we scored a beautiful goal. Iaquinta is missing a lot though, he needs to work on his concentration. Almiron is like WOW. we've snatched a good player.

we played well but we need to score and our defence look shaly in the first half we improved when we changed our starting 4-4-2 into a 4-3-3 altough Iaquinta wasted a couple of good chances
we certainly improved but you have to score in order to win

    From Times:


    As you would expect, the game itself was more muted than manic, as both teams opted for a stroll and a good workout in the absence of meaningful conflict.

    With Juventus also making several rotations, the fluency and rhythm was almost completely lost. As a spectacle the match was almost redundant as there was little excitement or indeed any opportunity at either end.

    Some of the best skills came from Alessandro del Piero, one of the many replacements. Late in proceedings he was unfortunate to take a little too long and tried to be a bit too clever in an attempt to equalise. After twisting and turning inside the area he took one move too far and the chance was lost.

    Then again most people know that you can't draw too much conclusions already. It's just that the people who whine post the same stuff over and over again...

    why could not win a team like sunderland ???
    when will trez and Trez, Iaquinta score ???
    why the defence still sucks even with andrade ??
    i think there is a gap between juve and milan-inter-roma and that ranieri days are limited with juve , he will not last till the end of the season.
    i dont think rijkaard could answer that

    I was at the ground. All I can say about Almiron is what I said earlier, he is a god. I sincerely hope he can translate it to big games (especially against Inter :yuck: )We should have scored up to six yesterday if the attack was sharper, but we need to find a replacement for Zebina like yesterday.

    Person who wrote that shyte is talking through his arse. Enough said.

    Some people think it's important to win pre-season friendlies for some reason. Can't figure out why either.
    I'd have liked to win as well...

    to ranieri : why cant you win a game ??? why do Juventus looks like Empoli ?????
    you got 1st class players ... not like Inter and Milan but really you got 4 world champions ... 1 former golden ball winner .... the best goalkeeper in the world ... and some very talented young players. what do you need more ??? why cant you just win on Sunderland ??? cant you see that your strategy is NOT suitable for Juventus fans? and he said that he is SATISFIED with the result !!!!!!!

    i wish that juve did not sack DD.
    Don't make a mistake by sending your valuable words to Rijkard instaed.

    This result is not a surprise. Check out the rest of the games:

    West Ham - Roma 2 - 1
    Aston Villa - Inter 3 - 0
    Atletico Madrid - Lazio 3 - 1

    Juve played a draw against one of the weakest teams in EPL.

    LOL. Makes you really wonder what is the true strength of Calcio. Or should I say true weakness?

    Serie A is a joke nowadays. It is used to be the greatest league in the world and now it is becoming like Bundesliga with all the stars leaving for stronger leagues like Spain and England.

    When was the last time an Italian club even made a great international transfer? 4-5 years ago. All the clubs almost went to bankrupcy since then except the rich, corrupted clubs from the North (Milan, Inter). Mediocre English teams like Manchester City, Aston Villa and Tottenham can compete with the likes of Milan, Juventus and Inter for players, but Inter and Milan are far, far beyond Chelsea and Man Utd in terms of richness.

    Future is not looking bright for the Calcio and sadly, for Juventus too.....

    I just saw that 2 last comments from m_elayyan on Goal.com posted by some other guy earlier.

    It seems that he is copying comments from Goal.com and putting them here. He clearly doesn´t know what to say. Pathetic. :lol:

    I also wanted to add that Ranieri will not be good for Juve. He likes to play attacking football but all teams he has coached so far had a poor defense. We will have to get used to it. Ranieri is not the man for big things but I guess Juventus board don´t expect big things this season. I am sure though that the fans expect the Scudetto immediately.
