And Del Piero is playing well? Get Gio to the pitch and play with one striker, Trez probably, that would be the best thing to do.
Yes and keep on changing the formation every game.. Yes get our player even more confused. They are already clueless.

I did not like Ranieri's approach to games, but I have to give it to him. He stuck to the his boring 4-4-2 that every player knew where to stand and what he has to do. And thats what made us go through the group stage in the champions league. But going further than that requires creativity and a good squad which we did not have. That is the same reason why Capello did not have trouble going through the group stage and failed afterwards in both years.
Ferrara did not even do the basics. He did not stick with one formation he jumped from one to another. I have never seen our players so confused on the field. Ferrara does not deserve all the blame as injuries had worsen the problem but he does take a major share of the blame.

Ferrara has to stick with his initial 4-3-1-2 or the very similar and dynamic 4-4-2 diamond midfield and give his team sometime to gel before getting both results and performances.

Bench Del Piero. He's lazy, doesn't care about the team, and has a horrible hair cut. What is with him anyway? When was the last time he scored a goal? When was the last time he made a great run? How about a nice flick for an assist?

It's obvious this guy doesn't care about Juventus, and is just another arrogant, lazy player. Why isn't he fit yet? The guy must be taking it easy in practice, probably hoping for his move on to a bigger salary, since that's all he cares about. His hair is GOSH so poor and must be affecting his play, he needs to cut it. Never have I seen such a loser, more worthless player in my lifetime. Can't believe we wasted so much money on him.

Palermo must be laughing at us now...

Well caring for Juventus will not help us much if he is this kind of form, I love the man and all, but I don't think it is worth sacrifasing Gio for him at this point.

I realy don't understand how can you people justify this kind of form.

Let him play 45 mins, or something like 30 mins until he regains at least half of what he can do, than try in a full much, until then its just playing almost a man down and waiting for a miracle to happen.

Alex is unpredictable, he might just be back in form anytime
nobody in the world expected him to score 3 in Real Madrid, or win top goalscorer 2 seasons ago or score that many beautiful free kicks last season

But if he's not fit, then please Ferrara don't start him, it looks really embarassing when he can't run

in my honest opinion, I agree alex needs more playing time as that will be the only way he will gain match fitness - but in his current form, I thought he should've been sacrificed for a game as big as bayern, just for that one game because of the high stakes. however, I agree with him, no matter what, the defeat is all of Juve's.

and to think that i waited so much for him to get to play alongside diego :(..well he came after an injury, and diego is off-form.
Yes Diego is off form but that certainly is not helped by static players around him. It was no coincidence he was shining in Samp game and Atalanta where he had Gio and Camo alongside him.

i don't understand all this "he needs to play games to regain match-fitness" !

when came the point-in-time where it is more important to get alex match-fit then gaining points/results as a team?

if alex' form is all there is need to win i wonder why all the other teams with crap players to actually beat us without having an in-form del piero in their team !

i hope that ciro is not that stupid and shares the opinion that he need to get alex match-fit by starting him against the good of the team. actually he should stay after school for a few ours and write one thousend times "team" on the chalk board.

Will we see him alongside Seba and Diego anytime soon :depressed

Maybe that friendly against Al-Itihad will give us the honour.
