first thing is dp penalty decision was right it has been debated quite a lot but the experts have said that dp was tripped
i am quite sure refrees are going to give some dubious decision to inter i dont expect the juventus fans to wait so long to call inter cheaters they are cheaters
What the hell does that mean? Experts? since when are there experts on what is a penalty or not a penalty? The only expert should be you. If you think its a penalty or not is what that matters not what some ppl on tv or wherever always looking to sell controversy.
Always some people feel cheated and that the whole world is against them when decisions go against their side and come up with conspiracies and all of that crap but ignore the fact that Trez was offside against Lazio and possibly Siena
The fact of the matter is if you keep playing the offside trap you are dicing with trouble as you are counting on a third party, linesman, to always call in your favour and thats pretty risque
Anyways I always get amused the emotions invested in the match thread as regards this Juventus side.
Firstly from the get go, I have always maintained that this is not a good enough squad even before a ball was kicked in anger so I don't see any reason why i should be upset with whatever they achieve.
The funny thing is that I never expected us to be 3rd considering the calibre of players we have but i guess that has to do with the calibre of seriea as a whole but this team as overachieved as far as I can tell.
If I am going to be brutally honest we have just the 1 world class player in Gigi Buffon and possibly a world class finisher in Trezeguet but apart from finishing he does nothing for me to classify him as a world class player.
Dp and Nedved are excellent players but past their prime and certainly not world class. Camoranesi is another excpellent player that just falls short of world class
I am not gonna waste time going through the list of players but they range form average to good and some poor ones there.
Now some posters are acting like Juventus were not in serieb last season and that we have the divine right to go anywhere and win and if we dont then everyone connceted witht he club has to be shot.
We did not buy this, we did not buy that, forgetting that these guys had to start from scratch to clean up the mess that the so called messiah Moggi left behind.
They possibly had to deal with ppl looking donw their noses as us as we have been labelled cheats whether justified or not is immaterial. Big players and coaches would not have wanted to touch us at the start of the season as the stigma was there.
Also forgetting that we lost Zambrotta arguably the best full back, cannavaro, Mutu,Vieira, Zlatanand Thuram.
I was not enamoured with Capello because he had these players and we still underachieved in Cl and that is why i was negative towards him but Ill be damned if I am gonna label blame on ppl dealing with an inferior squad and still 3rd in the league they were not a part of last season.
Vinman wants Moggi back or misses him and almost everyone is calling for the head of Molinaro.
Can you guys enlighten us at to how many world class left backs Moggi brough to this club?
How great were Mirkovic, Athirson, Paramatti and Jarni? Zambrotta was brought as winger but converted because Lippi had to find a space ofr him since camoranesi was doing so well at right wing.
The only one that we could say was very good is Pessotto and since antonio Cabrini we had been searching for a decent left back, we thought we had found in Andrea Fortunato but he died unfortunately; till we discovered Zambrotta.
Then the subject of Ranieri and playing Nocerino as a right winger, where else would he play him if Tiago, Zanetti, Nedved are all in the side. No, he cannot play there but neither can Gatusso but that is where Gatusso plays for Milan as the centre is populated with Pirlo, Ambrosini, kaka and sometimes seedorf.
But Gatusso manages to get away with it because his teamates are so good they can compensate for his short comings but in Juventus, Nocerino looks bad there cos we dont have that many class players.
Ranieri, was not my first choice and neither was any of the players they brought in as none of them andrade apart did not leave me underwhelmed.
Some were trying to convince me that the likes of Tiago and Almiron were approaching world class like I did not see Tiago play at Chelsea and realise he is just 1 of those players, not a difference maker but a good pro.
I did not see the game so I cannot start to issue blames or whatever and those that do so, have their reasons but remember the calibre of players we have and they cannot suddenly turn into world class materials because they don the black n white of juve
