Newcastle vs Juventus (3 Viewers)
- Thread starter Stu
- Start date
BUFFON: first half, I was not impressed, had nothing to do except gather in a few crosses, but he spilled 3..yes, 3 crosses in the first half. Second half, 3 absolutely fantastic wonder-saves. The third one is just 
superb! Unfortunately he was left exposed for their goal, and was partly to blame, he should really have done better, it squirmed into the net off his arm.
THURAM: Brilliant. Best Juve player by a mile. Defensively, and offensively faultless, the only bad point I can think of is a foul throw he made. At times in the second half, he was a centre mid, a striker even, and the only one, seemingly that showed the urgency to get forward and try and get that goal.
BIRINDELLI: Did nothing whatsoever offensively, Ok defensively, pne great block, but several misplaced passes, and continued to look nevous throughout the match.
FERRARA: Generally good, apart from the goal, where both centre halves went missing. very calm on the ball, much better than I thought.
IULIANO: Basically ditto ferrara, apart from the manic spell, surrounding Newcastle's goal, was good. But again, went missing for the goal.
DAVIDS: Impressed me, during the first half, god only knows why he was subbed off, looked at ease, and winning plenty of tackles
TACCHINARDI: Poor. Cannot pass the ball. I hope this was a one off, is he usually better than this? For his sake I hope so.
CAMORANESI: Good, our second best player behind Thuram, this lad has got great skill, not afraid to take players on, basically thumbs up from me!
CONTE: Nothing of note
ZAMBROTTA: Skied a shot, apart from this, did bugger all
NEDVED: Well, this guy is inadequate as a playmaker, I have said it before, I will say it again!However, later on he went to the left wing, also he was poor. So really, what is his position? Also he dived an awful lot, and missed an absolute sitter!
DP: Poor, by his standards. Wasted several freekicks, never got the better of his marker at any point in the match, this guy needs a rest.
DI VAIO: Worked hard, but to little effect, not his day I'm afraid, missed a half chance in the first half.
ZALA: Pretty good actually, made a definite impact after coming on, but really should have scored when he hit the bar. Pacy, powerful, worried the newcastle defence throughout, I think he should really have started
LIPPI: ? what was he playing at?

LIPPI: ? what was he playing at?
lesbians?????????? and u watched juve!!!
this is bad, our first loss of the season against newcastle. this really sux. its like if DP doesnt play good then juve suck. we cant depend on his fluctuating form. hes just human, i still believe he shouldnt of started, i wanna see what juve would do without him 4 one game. i guess its obvious now how desperately we need a playmaker and young defenders. lets just hope moggi and lipp feel that way.

Here's what I think.
The reason why we lost???
1. We underestimated the opposition
2. Lippi failed where subs were concerned.
Nobody was truly exceptional except Thuram, and as usual Edgar Davids. Lets sell this guy, he doesnt help the team
Anyway that was the problem, we failed to gel. Everyone was mediocre.
The horse-manure: Buffon, Birindelli, Tacc, Zambo, Ale, Di Vaio.
We had no substitutes for Tacc. Camo played well, and Lippi took him off. Ale had nobody to sub for him (Salas, except he wasnt there, now lets sell him too, our only Ale-sub)
BTW if anyone says Ale needs no sub, I hope this game proves his human side a bit.
Di Vaio had no sub either. Trez would have scored today.
We cant depend on Ferrara-Iuliano as CBs together. Either one or the other. We had no Tudor, no Montero, no Pessotto. If it wasnt for Thuram ____________.(fill in the blank space)
Midfield lacked creativity. Disgustingly sloppy. Camo was decent. Davids had to attack more. Tacc was inadequate. Nedved I think this is just a one-off.
Attack Ale had his one-off. DiVaio SHOULD have played especially well since Trez was out. We know his potential, he knows his potential, so do the coach and the players. We have seen better DiVaio's than this one.
On a positive note Zala did well. I wanna see him play a league game or 2 now that we've won it already. Not to mention the Coppa.
Im especially worried about DiVaio because its the beginning of the season and its too early to have bad days. Way too early. He shone pre-season, but we're struggling in league, and we're flopping in cup.
The loss to Newcastle was especially dumb considering English mentality> They're still celebrating England 66... That fullback must have his own holy book by now....
The out-of-formers:
Montero- He's my number-one concern.
Tacc- He knows better and so do we...
Buffon- By God I dont think its possible to concentrate on attack if you have such a problematic own half. Couple Buffon's 'bad day' with the defence probably is another reason we lost.
Tudor- Still waiting to see him come back and show us his real side.
Trez- Needs to come back and coma back prolific. I want to see DiVaio score a goal or 2 in the first half, and Trez come on mid 2nd half and finish it off with a devastating final attack of 2 or more. Thats my dream.
Nedved- Did much better last season, wanna see more of this guy's old self.
About Lippi- didnt sub well, but I think the blame must go on the players. They messed up totally.
