Anyone but Iaquinta, please. Some dude from the match thread asked a good question. Why does Iaquinta takes our FK's? He has no technique, he just hits them hard like Ibra. He isn't going to score all day long with that way. I prefer we find another FK specialist when there is no Del Piero or Camo.

Two goals last season (if that statistic is correct) is not too good. I know he scored the wonder (bad goalkeeping) free kick the other night.
Wow. Even the biggest Juve hater wouldn't say it was the goalkeeper's fault. The swerve on that ball would have fooled any goalkeeper in this world. Goalkeeper's jump before the ball reaches them, in that case, he though he covered the path of the ball only to see it swerve to the right at the last second.

World class freekick.

I think it went relatively straight into the middle of the goal.

I agree, but maybe one of the youngster could have the odd pop.
Giovinco would surely be a good deputy for Del Piero.

I think the little guy isn't bad at taking freekicks.
Which little guy? Seba?

Why is Molinaro so low on the list? :D
Why is he on the list at all?

In fact, Camoranesi has never scored from a freekick for Juve. (yes, I checked).
How many times did he took them?

Camo's only really good at wide FKs that are played into the box. No one at Juve can come close to DP for shooting from frees. Nedved would be my second choice though.
Nedved hasn't tryed his luck from a FK for a long time. Camo should try it, too.

That's why I want him at his best on the crunch games, although there is a strong case for letting someone else try there luck at the freekicks. Has he lost his touch?
Neeeh.. I don't think so. Haven't you seen the goal against Zenit :D No in our team (or some might argue in many other teams in the competion) can produce such a megical free kick.

I say, let him play (while resting him when needed) because I honestly beleive he is the best.

Ohh no. The goalkeper did all he could. The ball was going to his right when suddenly swerved to the other side of the goal. It reminded me with the goal he scored against Celtic. One of those impossible free kicks that change direction in a close distance to the keeper which makes them almost impossible to save.

About the statistics, he has hit the cross bar and post more than any other year before. In addition, this past season we did not get so many free kicks in a proper positions if you know what I mean.
