What is that supposed to mean?
Apart from the goal we had very little action in attack (actually I can recall just a powerful shot by Marchisio and some desperate fighting by Amauri) and DP didn't even had a decent shot on goal. Exactly what you don't get there? He may be responsible for that or maybe not, but that's not the question. By taking off DP we didn't lost a serious attacking threat yesterday, he didn't exactly terrorize their defense in the time given to him.

You said his most important achievement was his defensive works last night while he actually set up the goal for Chiellini. It was a moderately good game for him, mediocre but better than many of our other players. Not that we would have won the game if he had stayed on the pitch but bringing Grygera for him was dumb in any way you are looking at it.

The next time I get a -rep on something I said in this, or any other thread, at least have the balls to tell me who did it.
What post you got a -rep for?

I said that the members here highlighted his defensive work and then questioned bringing on Grygera instead of him - kinda ironic if you ask me.

I think we would've played better with Giovinco-Diego behind Amauri or Giovinco-Diego-Camoranesi, even if DP plays better than many of our other players, I believe that without him we'd be a much more dynamic side. He's important player that often dictates our style of play in attack and right know his style isn't working for us.

Almost everything Sergio said here was spot on. Even if some might not be agreeing with his posts, his posts were still far from being -rep worthy :D
nah, its all good. I've never even given a negative rep before, although i think I did by mistake because I clicked the wrong button.

The post was the one where I stated "Who cares if the fans are furious" and just went on saying that too much influence and power are given to the fans in the first place.


Or at least it seems that way

Who cares if the fans are furious? The only thing worse than an inept board, is an inept board that takes the fans feelings into account too much.

The Stankovic episode comes to mind most vividly. What, he said something about Juventus 5 years ago, and there were riots at the training ground when there was talk about bringing him over?

That is ridiculous, especially considering there were players on that team stating how much he could have helped.

But again, the Ultras have far too much power for their own good, and the board ran like a dog with his tail between his legs.

Screw that.

Del Piero: 'Juve down, not out'
Saturday 27 March, 2010
Alessandro Del Piero reassured Juventus fans of their Champions League hopes. “We’ve been slapped around, but haven’t given up.”

The Bianconeri are now in joint sixth place with Napoli following one point from three games against Siena, Sampdoria and Napoli.

“We haven’t given up. I have not given up,” wrote the captain on his official website.

“We’ve been slapped around, but it is not over and if we look at the table then we’re still standing.

“Only three points adrift of fourth place with eight rounds to until the end of the season.

“These are the statistics we should keep to heart. There are 24 points available and we are only four behind the Champions League places.

“This is not trying to justify what happened up until now, but the only way to turn this situation around is to start from our own minds.”

Juve face Atalanta on Sunday and are boosted by news striker Javier Ernesto Chevanton will be out for a month.

The Uruguayan suffered a thigh strain in his left leg and joins the suspended Cristiano Doni in the stands.
