Didnt see the game just some flimsy highlites so its hard to make comments on the game itself.

We are indeed fortunate that we meet rivals when they are smack in the middle of a busy schedule like Milan would surely have Celtic and world club cup in mind so its hard to say if the point is a good 1 or not.

We have done very well so far though without having enough quality players it has to be said and Ranieri, like him or not has done a magnificent magnificent job.

A lot of people want too much as I was reading he should have brought on Tiago, the 1 thing we cannot match Milan and the top serieA sides is quality. You try to take off 1 of our henchmen and we would have been murdered as Milan would sure have got the space they were denied with bringing on a player that would not help defensively and is doubtful is good enuff to make a difference in a game of this magnitude offensively.

Well, not playing 2 games of intensity week in week out is surely helping our position but the manager has been doing a splendid job so far and I just do not understand any criticism when you consider what he has to work with.

On sunday we play at home and channel5 are showing it, it would be interesting to see if Juve can be the first team to win their home game in all the matches that channel 5 has shown all season

That is my point, I do not not think any of the home sides has won any game channel 5 have shown live. The 1 that may have happened was Inter vs Lazio but we all know what happened there.

Its incredible that they have shown 13 games and not 1 home win as yet

This is why when I was asking for Tiago to come in was to replace Iaquinta. Del Piero or Marchionni could have replaced Sali and we would not have taken away any of the backbones just added another dimension to the midfield, more distribution and sucking the ball to the middle because the flanks were not really our strong side on Saturday.

For info, Balzaretti had the highest number of assists last season, and was not worse than this Molinaro in defending.
Sorry Rebel, can´t agree on this one. Balzaretti lacks defensive skills. Molinaro is a LOT better in that department.

But his crosses are horrible...
In one situation in Milan game, he sent the ball away where there were Trez and Iaquinta waiting for it!!!! that could have a been a goal for us! a decisive one.
Its not enough that he is good defensively, he has some offensive duties as well, which he disappointed at so far...
He should be replaced by Lahm or Grosso.

He is, when a good offer is on the table...
I find it hard to believe that Lahm is the right character to move to Italy from one season to another (already). He needs his known surroundings and stuff, and in addition to that, I don't think he cares so much about the money since he's probably earning more than enough at Bayern. Maybe in a couple of years we'll have a chance. The only problem is that we don't have time to wait.

An improvement of Molinaro would be the best IMO, I kinda like that guy and he is showing some great spirit, he is always working hard.
