Great post dpforever.
:thumb:. However as being a pessimist I have to disagree on some of the points.
. (Sorry, being a Japanese, I am DESIGNED to think this way).
Firstly, I must pay attribute to fantastic performace by Buffon, Nedved, Thuram, Alex, Davids, and "cough" Trezeguet "cough".
However, there are some alarming features in our squad. Our defence, is pretty ordinary. Montero has been a bit of disappointment for me when he played. He is still very adequate player but certainly not the awesome Paolo we know. His lack of pace is very worrying. Also, we still haven't sorted out our left back problem. I give credit to Birindelli work working very hard in that position, and he impressed me for the first time in his Juve career.
. Zambrotta looks pretty comfortable too in that position, but jury is out there. All I can say is that neither Zambrotta and Birindelli isn't our long term replacement for that position, and I would not be surprised if it becomes a problematic position in the future. It reminds me bit of mid 90s when we had to play Di Livio as a left back on some occasions. It is achilles heel of our team.
Secondly, our midfield has been more workman like than brilliant. Sure, I like good work ethic and team work, but I think one or two creative talent would do pretty well. Tacc has been playing for his standard but we can still do better.
Thirdly, our reserve strikers has been findinding hard to hit the target. Zala is Zala, and Di Vaio and Salas has been below par for some reason. Di Vaio will pick up soon, I believe. He could become a factor of winning and not winning this year. Nevertheless, we need a long term solution for his position like Mutu, Miccoli, and Adriano.
In the second half, we need to more consistent. I think we have blown bit hot and cold this year.
Play more entertaining football.
Sort out defensive fragilties. I mean the team as well.
