The commentator (bet 365) kept repeating these two things during the match:
1. The Juve players make the simple things look difficult.
2. There is absolutely no communication and understanding between the Juve players.
Please give me something to argue against these statements.

Point 1: Absolutely disagree, we make the simple things look impossible, the commentator clearly knows nothing about football, sinple things like stringing 5 passed together are not "difficult" for this team, they cant be done!
Point 2: Not true at all, the players completely understand that they dont want to win the games, and they completely understand how to lose a football match.
How ridiculous that bet365 commentator was. What a disgrace!!
Completely agreed. The players don't seem to want to play for the coach either and it's really unprofessional. Stuff like that should never happen as long as there are people supporting the club. My post was merely directed to the people who said that Ciro had no part in today's performance because he made the right lineup and the right subs. Still it's true that we need an overhaul obviously starting from the coach.
Ciro " Tell me if I'm the problem'
Juventus boss Ciro Ferrara is refusing to resign, but admits “if the Coach is the problem then the club will tell me.”
The Bianconeri plummeted out of the top three after today's 1-0 defeat at Chievo and many wonder how long he'll continue to stay on the bench.
“I try to analyse the situation and every aspect of it. The lads are downhearted when the results do not arrive, that is only to be expected,” Ferrara told Sky Italia television.
“I cannot know how our directors evaluate the squad, Coach and club. Everyone needs to examine every option and if they consider the Coach to be the problem, then I'm sure they'll come and tell me.
“There have been talks of course over the season, but no, I have never directly been told that I am a problem.
“To anyone who is used to seeing Juventus win, of course it will seem very strange. I am convinced the team has quality and must find out why at the moment they cannot express those qualities.
“If the problem is the Coach who cannot get the best out of his players, then I would clearly try to take responsibility for my errors. The club will evaluate and make a judgement.
“I'm trying to find the solution, it's true that seven defeats are unusual for Juventus, but with the players at my disposal I aim to improve and give them more self-belief.”
If Napoli beat Palermo this evening, then Juve will be knocked out of the Champions League spots.
“I still believe, absolutely. Despite a truly difficult period that even I would never have expected, I firmly believe in this Juventus. I realise that's difficult to say in front of the cameras and the fans, but I won't give in.
“In all honesty, this is a negative period and I don't want to find alibis or excuses, even if we have some important absentees.
“I had a small squad at my disposal today, but they tried to give their best. It's true we conceded the goal and did not react very well, though in the second half we pinned Chievo back.
“There were few scoring opportunities even when we threw on another striker. Certainly playing a game like this on a frozen pitch is not worthy of Serie A either, although of course the field was the same for Chievo too.
“There are some players who aren't in great shape, but I have few options to choose from. Some might need a rest, but we cannot afford it right now.”

People who defend the coach at this moment, by saying things like, Ciro has nothing to do, the players must play better and they are on the pitch not Ciro...are the same, who would moan about Ranieri if he would be the coach at this moment in time.
I dont remember people moaning about players as much as Ranieri last season. Just because Ciro is amateur and ex-vicecaptain doesnt mean i cant criticize him.
When the team keeps s--king and looses 6-7 games in a row, its the COACH who gets sacked and replaced, not the players.
1. Why do we keep playing poorly? Why are our players lost in the pitch?
2. What Ciro actually does to improve our squad in the training? I havent seen any improvement.
3. Maybe some should see that our players s--k cause they dont know what is the game plan. Why dont they know that? Who is supposed to guide them to that...hm, lets see...COACH.
Pay Hiddink as much as he wants. We CANT AFFORD another season WITHOUT Champions League football.
If we fail to qualify we will loose a lot of money, we might loose players, and we will have problems to buy new QUALITY signings, cause QUALITY players want to play in CL not Europe League.
