[Serie A] Catania 1-1 JUVENTUS (25th September, 2011) (10 Viewers)

[Catenaccio]

I think Pirlo is great and works well for this Juve. My biggest concern is, it would seem that we rely on him totally now in midfield. So it could be no Pirlo, no Juve. A bit like Roma used to be when Totti was at his peak.

Vidal is quite a versatile player but he is no Pirlo style player. I guess if this system works, we would need to think about a long term replacement or heir for Pirlo.

Buffon
Licht-Barza-Chiellini-Grosso

Sounds like a good plan - Our LB options are all suicidal though

I think Grosso may be good enough against everyone besides the top few teams until January. DC doesn't deserve to start at the moment.

 

[Catenaccio]

I thought De Ceglie didn't have a bad 2 games. Unfortunately, in his 2 games he made 2 critical mistakes - and got punished for each one. Still, I can't wait till Juve signs a reliable left back in January. We should pony up. I still think our defense is not world class.

A top class center back and left back will make Juve much more solid.

Grosso and DC are massive concerns - I can help but think Ziegler would have been a better option than both

Hat-trick by Qtube please

 

[ZoSo]

:xfinger: or Krasic or Vidal or DP

Any1 hatrick + win and cleansheet = gold

It seems to me most of the bench was better than starters in all three games, it looks very exciting for the first time since 2006 but when will they all play so we can see how far can this team go

 

[Salvo]

It is my birthday an hour after this game starts here in Aus, I expect a Del Piero goal 60th minute and a 4-0 win as a birthday present .

Would you settle for a surprise appearance from Iaquinta?

 

[ZoSo]

I would like to see us play this. Ilso leaves us a very good bench, Pepe can come on if we need to defend a lead, Marchisio if Pirlo looks tired, Giaccherini and Elia & Estigarribia especially could help against a tight defense. Matri is also a very good option for Quag & DP. Vucinic on the left would make us very unpredictable.

 

[X Æ A-12]

Vucinic is suspended.

 

[ZoSo]

I forgot. Well generally anyway I would like to see that, I wasn't just talking about this game.

You'd want to see Buffon at least playing in the middle of the goal if you were a true fan.

 

[ZoSo]

It was an accident....

 

[Martin]

Everyone talks about Pirlo like he is a geriatric fuck. He's only 32, Del Piero is almost 37....I think it's because he looks about 45.

Seriously? I thought he was like 35
