[X Æ A-12]

Late kickoff is good otherwise I have to get up early.

Let's be realistic.

Great to get a win today but if you watched the game it's quite obvious that Juve is not even close to Scudetto material.

Did Inter's treble winning team look good last season when they were thrashed by Catania?

Not just today's game but a few others - many of the provincial sides are able to put Juve under immense pressure - Juve is unable to control possession for long stretches against small, apparently less-skilled teams. Inter were guilty of 1 or 2 off games last season but for the most part demolished the small teams.

I'm just saying, we don't have the technical skills to win the Scudetto.

I like the early Sunday time for Juve games. It's hard to get up for 9 on a Sunday morning but I like the traditional feel. I hate the late Sunday games the most as I have to wait too long for it and at that time I'm normally sulky because Monday is near.


I can't consider us Scudetto material. The squad just isn't talented enough, imo. We're winning a lo of games on hard work and effort but I don't think we can rely on that for the whole season and there are some games where that just isn't enough.

Exactly - we don't have those rare talents, ala Ibrahimovic, Et'o or Pastore, to single single-handedly win a game that's is headed for a 0-0 draw. I don't consider Krasic to be such a player.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Krasic is a game changer, imo. But besides DP, every once in a while, he's the only one and when he's taken out of it, it's a great struggle. Another thing is that if Aquilani isn't playing well or is missing, the team loses so much quality in midfield. We could really do with a capable backup for him. Marchisio is a boss but he doesn't control the midfield like Aqua.

Aquilani's last two performances already make you question his price tag - did you realise his performances have dropped ever since Juve said they will sign him?

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I feel it's more of a fitness issue. He knows the club hasn't signed him yet, and can change its mind.

Agree with that.

Even with the win last night our team still looks shaky and not fully confident. Top 3 is the best result we can aim for realistically with the current team.

 

[Stevie]

Coppa this year and top 3 finish then we will win the scudetto next year... im sure of it .

If you compare how we beat Catania to how Milan beat Brescia - Milan were all over Brescia for most parts of the game - Juve were under pressure for long stretches against Catania - sloppy Catania finishing being the real difference.

Granted Milan was at home but we hardly dominate teams at home either.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

May I remind you that Milan drew 1-1 at home against this Catania team earlier this season.

The only thing thats making Meelahn likely Scudetto winners is Ibra.

 

[sallyinzaghi]

two things that make scudetto winners - squad depth and consistency, that is all

And one or two superstars that can pry open defences almost at will

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

If we had a 20+ goal prima punta next to Quag we would be ahead of Milan IMO.

Let's all hope for a draw between the ugly cunts tonight.
