This really is getting boring...

This so called project is a farce as big as calciopoli.

A manager (& director) either build a flamboyant attacking who can't defend or a resolute but boring team.

Our project is anything but flamboyant in it's football and is resolute as melted cheese. Youth barely even breaks the agenda.

We have assembled a mid table club with mid table policies but a with a champions budget!

What does it matter? No matter who we get if we don't get Moggi, we are not getting anywhere.

OMG,just bring the new coach now so he can adopt to the team before the next season. I consider myself a better coach then DN, at least everyone wouldn't smile at my starting squad.... Half of the Milan squad watching Krasic. What else would you do when you have no other players to watch.

I don't even get it... How did this guy manage to keep Juve in the top 4 for the first half of the season?

“Many of our new arrivals certainly don’t have the same career behind them as Milan’s men, so in the next transfer session we’ll focus on international experience as well as quality.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t expect to run into such a negative situation this year. There will be no revolution, as we laid the foundations for the future of Juventus this season.”
I think this is right.

Blog: Clueless Del Neri

I have never been a big fan of Gigi Del Neri, as I thought his Chievo dei Miracoli were basically just hard-working counter-attack specialists with a nice back story. It seems after several years in Serie A that the tactician really has not progressed beyond that attitude and does not belong at a top club like Juventus.

The fact Juve have lost seven of their last 11 games is not the issue here, nor that four of those have been on home turf. Their incredibly boring performances with a total inability to create scoring opportunities are disheartening, but again, these things can happen. No, the sign that Del Neri simply must go was to be found in his substitutions.

It’s bad enough he persists with Luca Toni and Alessandro Matri together, but when the side is lacking creativity and needs a spark during a tough match, who should come off the bench but Vincenzo Iaquinta... Long the bane of calcio enthusiasts, this work-horse has been beloved of tacticians for years, inexplicably getting first team football in a misguided attempt at making Italian football more physical. Alessandro Del Piero was granted a mere 10 minutes on the pitch, by which time the team was in its usual spiral into despair.

The piece de resistance for Del Neri, though, was with his final switch. A goal down, chasing the game and with only six minutes to spare, his last throw of the dice was... Leonardo Bonucci. A defender replacing another defender, moving Giorgio Chiellini into the left-back slot. If ever proof was needed that Juventus do not have a Plan B, then this was it.

The 4-4-2 is absolute and unshakable as long as Del Neri is on that bench, regardless of the players at his disposal or the situation they find themselves in. He hasn’t changed from Chievo, where minnows could invite teams forward and hit them on the break. When opponents don’t fall into that trap, Juve continue to sit back and hope against hope that something will happen.

If you were wondering why the Bianconeri have lost three on the trot without scoring a single goal, then there is your answer.

Beat me to it...

Susy missed out del nobends favourite sub...momo for aqua!

Sack this man now. He will not turn us around but merely lea us further into the abyss. A coach with a positive winning mentality is required. I dare say 'we' are worse now than last year. Last year the danger men were Diego and gio. This year all you have to do is mark krasic and it is game over.

He is clueless, that article has summarised his ability down to a T. The fact is that he should never have been appointed, and he most certainly should have been sacked in January after failing to improve this team after last season.

But now, what is the point in sacking him? We'll replace him with a 3 month solution, someone with little experience, like a Vialli, Conte or Nedved. The players know now their season is over, we wont make the CL and they are not motivated by the EL. They will know that the manager will only be short term so they will find no motivation to play for him and they couldn't give a flying fuck about the club and what it stands for - all in all it would change very little.

Even if we did opt for the sensible option and try to go after someone with experience and a track record of winning, like Capello, Lippi, Van Gaal etc. Why would they want to join us now, when they have 10 games to perform miracles - If I was in their shoes I wouldn't come here until the summer, when even in that scenario they would demand in excess of £60m would be available to them to change the squad. There's no point even speculationg about Del Neri now, yet again a lack of balls from the key decisionmakers at this club has cost them massively. We thought by the introduction of Andrea Elkann (He doesn't deserve his real surname) and Marrotta that real men had stepped up to run this club. More fool us.

If anything these 2 are more incompetent than Blanc and Secco. Their results on the pitch certainly show that to be the case.

I want him sacked now, if only to prevent the loser mentality from setting in any further. We only have have 2 champions in our squad. These guys need to lead the team and impose the winning mentality. Del nobend is doing his best to embellish our failure and problems. It is only going to get worse as 'we' get more desperate with del nobend. We can't attack and 'we' can't park the bus either. Fucking joke

Whats the point in sacking him now though? It wont achieve anything, we've got absolutely nothing to play for. As for the loser mentality, the players gave up when we failed to sack him in January - the players are not motivated by the 15th rewrite of our "Season Objectives" and they wont perform any better anyway for the rest of the season.

I agree with what you say. But purely to indicate 'we' are not a bunch of pussies who accept shit football and enough bullshit to last a life time, people like elkann should seek to stop the rot as 'we' are being embarrassed every other day with either trash football or gutter trash defence of the situation.

To be frank, keeping del noidea on the bench suggests such trash is acceptable to this juve. If this was a young coach I would not mind as they would be learning. Del nobend is not a young coach. His level has been proven.

Can 'we' get any worse than what 'we' have now?

fire the manager, yea how original these days. Althought I don't like Del Neri I don't think he's mostly at fault, apart from Krasic who else do we have who can create opportunities? Del Piero is old and past it so he can't count.

After blaming the last 4 managers we've had, I think it's time to accept that out team is simply not good enough. Let's just hope we actually but good players this summer, and for those who claimed we started of well under del neri. Need a remind you that under Ferrera we were first at one point, and were considered title contenders until december
