[Serie A] Catania 1-1 JUVENTUS (25th September, 2011) (9 Viewers)

[Bianconero_Aus]

It just shits me how we give the players from teams like Catania and Bologna so much respect and fear them as if they are all Messi's and C Ronaldos

In the 2nd half, I lost count of the amount of times they just ran past/through our back four like they werent even there. We desperately need a new LB and another imposing CB who can organise the defence, because Chiellini just isnt that player. He was beyond terrible today, the worst individual performance of the season by far.

Players better lift against Bilan next week, because if we lose this then we are back to square one and the same problems of last season.

And now its 1:10AM in the morning and I gotta waste hours of precious sleep watching this garbage. FFS. FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

I can't believe how badly we got raped on the counters

 

[Juve Libnan]

Anyone saying this result is acceptable is delusional!!

We played again against an utter shit team that has one decent player in Gomez

Andujar gifted us the goal,yet Chiellini and our shit LB once again combine t hand the opposition a goal

I also thought Pirlo has been exceptionally poor at taking corners and free kicks..never seems to pick anyone out at all and today i also thought he was poor overall

Big UP to Pepe,i hate the guy but he changed the game completely when he came on

Poor tactics by Conte,he was outclassed by Montella hardcore..playing Matri again alone when he carved out nothing against Bologna shouldve made it obvious that Matri just cant do it on his own..but yet again Conte decided to pull that off and for that I hope the players say sthing cuz its utter bullshit that we dont play 2 strrikers against a team like Catania

A tough stretch of games coming up and i gotta say after the early optimism, the last week has completely eroded any hopes i had of us winning consistently

We were extremely lucky today!!

Pepe played well but not well enough to get MoM. And you vote Krasic as MoM because he scored? LOL 2 good runs after his goal and he gets a vote as MoM?

no way, the only good player we had out there tonight was Buffon. We could have easily lost 3 points today if it wasn't for his GKing, Krasic got us 1 point.

Krasic had plenty of runs in the seconds half and got two shots of on goal. He was the only player getting it forward successfully and made accurate crosses one of which should have been put away by Del Piero. Buffon would be a worthy MOM as well.

I loved Pirlo and Vidal second half together, I prefer Vidal deeper.

yessssssssssss Vidal deeper and Marchisio further forward...at least when we play a 433 or when the CM pair is Vidal-Marchisio.

 

[blondu]

a lot of misses because our players don't act like a team and everybody even grosso wants to score...i would kick the hell out of them and bench half of the team for the next match but there aren't any better

buffon - great game, nothing to do at the 1st goal...good saves in the 2nd half. solid
grosso - i don't want to see another second of this old man, i donno what the heck was into marotta & conte's head when they choosed to keep him and not buying a 19-20 years old good lb. he's shit, his crosses are a public danger, his defence is so 90's
chiello - what's the matter with him? problems in family? not the giorgio we know, he seems absent minded..we need him back if we want to catch the top
barzagli - good game, nothing much to say
lich - same as barzagli, didn't counted in attack like he used to
vidal - ups and downs, a huge miss at the end of the match that closed a forgettable match from him.
pirlo - started pretty well, did a marchisio and dissapeared in the 2nd half
marchisio - oh dear, i can't find anything positive except those good fouls that managed to stop a lot of counters. He needs to get more and more and moooore involved god damn it, i can't see any progress since i last him the first time. Get your head up and run in offence boy..invent something, start dribbling, start trying !
elia - good first half for his first official game...he tried but he couldn't pass his markman but optained the throw in's
krasic - conte had a good intution to keep him because after that 1st half everybody wanted him out..the coach shouted a bit and milos started to play better. he needs to focus, to deliver that last pass..the biggest miss for juventus was his because he didn't passed it
pepe - good game..good continuity, pepe delivers, his long shot is better per game, he has balls, he delivered but matri wasn't so inspired today
matri- as i said, not a good game from him, those cb's contained him very well, he needs that ss next to him, he needs the ball down too , not only crosses
quagliarella - he touched the ball then gave it away...not much to say though
dp - same as fabio.

antonio conte - what a ridiculous change of system. Good thinking at half time, our team looked like a true Juve for 30 minutes but what a stupid change (dp for pepe) in a 4-2-3-1 our Captain was the spearhead of attacks at 37 years. Not cool at all antonio. Then he brings up quag in the 81st minute ..a bit late imo. He needs to stick to a system, he needs to use that 4-2-4 and stick to it. We desperately need to play with an ss and a prima punta. He needs to talk and find out what's the matter with chiello. He needs to strenghten the defence..and he needs those cojones back, force the win man ! it was catania not real madrid

Gotta wake up early as well - FREAKING RUBBISH PERFORMANCES make your sleep even worse.

 

[IliveForJuve]

Horrible set pieces in attack and defense.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Yeah, and now we have to go back to 4-4-2, funny forum.

yeah, "we want 4-3-3 with marchisio, vidal and pirlo, and elia to start"

look how that worked out thank fuck some members here arn't our current manager.

now its

elia is shit we want pepe

we want 4-4-2 back

[Klin]

One thing is for sure. Conte did fuck up starting with 1 striker against Catania in their stadium. It was always going to backfire on us.

 

[Hust]

Krasic had plenty of runs in the seconds half and got two shots of on goal. He was the only player getting it forward successfully and made accurate crosses one of which should have been put away by Del Piero. Buffon would be a worthy MOM as well.

Krasic's second half was light years ahead of his first half but because of his first half fail is why I think Buffon takes the prize...when Buffon was called upon he was ready all game, not just the second half.

Today, Buffon is the main reason we walked away with 1 point rather than dropping 3. We could have easily lost today.

 

[Salvo]

Bring on Milan, we really need a good result there. play the 4-4-2 with Vidal and Pirlo, Pepe and Krasic. Vucinic Matri up front.

 

[Zé Tahir]

Next Sunday can change the entire mood for the remainder of the season. If we lose, which is likely as its our first match against a big side then we've essentially had yet again a very shitty start to a season. So far we've had relatively easy fixtures compared to Milan & Napoli who at the beginning of the season looked to be our main contenders.

One convincing (and veiling) display vs Parma, followed by a win in Siena, and then only gaining 2 points out of 6 vs lowly Bologna & Catania. A loss against Milan = shit start

 

[tyouto]

No more Grosso, please... I actually miss De Ceglie.

then next week pdc playing against melon, making 1 own goal, 1 penalty for melon, and 1 red card

just playing sorensen and moved chiello to the left back IMO

i hope to see juve still on top in the end of season :flag1:

 

[Salvo]

Massive game.

 

[Salvatore]

I'm not sure what the thought process was to put Vidal as an attacking midfielder, clearly looked out of position. I didn't like how we started, Matri should have had another forward next to him (in place of one of the wingers) if the team was going 4-3-3 to start with. Sort of like below. Or just keep the 4-2-4 formation from the first three games.

Marchisio-Pirlo-Vidal
Winger/FW-Matri-Winger/FW​

Few things I didn't like. In the dying minutes Grosso runs half the pitch and tries the shot, when there were two players in the box. Vidal's clumsiness only outdone by Chiellini, both really had a few awfully lazy pieces of play. Krasic almost gifted them a goal as well late on. Good players were probably Marchisio and Barzagli for the most part.

Juventus were quite lucky that Catania were wasteful, they had the best opportunities and could have had 3 goals in that game.

 

[Fake Melo]

So was this a 4-5-1 our 4-3-2-1

 

[Mark]

I loved Pirlo and Vidal second half together, I prefer Vidal deeper.

I was thinking Conte could put up these 2 together in the 2nd and sub Marchisio for Quag but I guess the coach thought we would of been weak at the back. Poor DP can't be a "prima punta". No matter how he played bad today Matri would have had a better chance to bury it but with IFS you go nowhere.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

One thing is for sure. Conte did fuck up starting with 1 striker against Catania in their stadium. It was always going to backfire on us.

but people wanted 4-3-3 on this forum, you got it, and it failed

 

[Nzoric]

yeah, "we want 4-3-3 with marchisio, vidal and pirlo, and elia to start"

now its

elia is shit we want pepe

we want 4-4-2 back

Regarding the 4-3-3. On paper it is by far the best formation with our current squad of players, for some reason it didn't work out. I think it was well worth a shot, trying to see what we could do with that formation.
