I don't think he could've done any better on that goal.
I thought he probably should have saved it.

Wasn't that powerful a header and was from a fair distance out.

IMO the header was a difficult sav and the crossbar shoot was as tough as the one chelsea and norjalland scored.... superb taken free kicks.

I hope he's yet on the declining slope. His performance lately says otherwise though :sad: Damn how could we live without him on the pitch...
But this has happened before: season before last he was inconsistent, last season he was remarkable, and now this season it again seems as if he's hit and miss. At the same time, a lot of the goals he's let in have been beyond his control.

“PSG are a lucky club, they have a lot of money,” he stated. “But, in football, the richest don’t always win.
“Some clubs have less money, but they spend it better and the history of a club also counts. Perhaps in 50 years they will talk about PSG more than Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus – but not now.”
PSG have a number of Italian internationals in their ranks, including former Pescara gem Verratti and ex-Palermo 'keeper Salvatore Sirigu.
“Marco is today a first team starter in a big club, that is in the Champions League, which is what they promised him in Paris. In Italy, nobody had the courage to offer him the same,” Buffon noted.
“Sirigu? He’s a good kid, an explosive and reactive goalkeeper. Sirigu did well by going to France.
“It’s a very delicate role in Italy where you can do well for six months, make two errors and then be replaced. Salvatore cut the umbilical cord with Italy and that is a good thing for his development.”
Buffon is currently on international duty preparing for the game against France, a tie where he will come up against former Juventus boss Didier Deschamps.
“It’s not a surprise to see him as the French manager. He was already a Coach on the pitch. His footballing philosophy isn’t Italian, it is European seeing as he played in four countries. He put the best of those experiences in his suitcase.
“France? I like Karim Benzema and Franck Ribery to death, but they can do even better. For me, they have the qualities and the potential to reach the level of Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.”

Buffon has a couple of shaky moments, and people begin to criticize him. Yeah, let's just forget all his years of loyal service to this club :howler:

However, when far less accomplished players (Matri, Bonucci, and even Marchisio) have a bad game or two and are criticized, their lovers come out in full force to protect them, and find excuses and justifications for their poor performances :rolleyes: Oh, and let's not forget the one eyed special one, who is beyond reproach :p

Hypocrites :D

Of course not. Read what I said again, comprehend it, and you'll realize I'm not against criticizing any player, as long as it is justified. Moreover, some members will go to great lengths to defend certain players (because of their love and bias towards them), even though those players have been far less influential and important for Juventus over the years. Hence, Buffon, based on such standards, Buffon deserves a break ;)
