Whoever insults Ciro or criticize him for today's embarrassing loss is a sheep and nothing else.

Today our team(players) failed to play some simple football. We failed to make 2 good passes, our best passing players couldn't pass Del Piero and Diego, while De Ceglie, Chiellini, Grosso are the league worst passers.

Ciro couldn't make anything more. The formation was expected due to our current injuries situation, our subs were spot on. Our players were bunch of high school team, everyone trying to do on his own, individual show.

Before we change our coach a major change needs to be done with our defenders passing capabilities. Even Chievo's Siena's Reggina's Parma's you name it defenders can pass better than ours. We cant deliver the ball into the fucking midfield, Cannavaro receives the ball he shoots, Chiellini recieves the ball he puts it out, Grosso tries to cross and he never succeeds etc. NO ONE CAN PASS FROM OUR DEFENDERS NO ONE.


Buffon 5.5

Zebina 2.5
Cannavaro 5.5
Chiellini 3
Grosso 2

Melo 2.5
De Ceglie 2
Marchisio 3.5

Diego 6

Del Piero 3
Paolucci 1


I'm very serious with these ratings.

Just when I thought everyone in this forums have gone insane!

Great post from someone who knows what's going on.

Putting all the blame on Ferrara is silly, specially today, the players were a bunch of pussies running around like helpless shemales. Not that Ferrara is doing a good job, though.

We have a lot of problems going on right now from the coach's poor tactical knowledge to the players careless attitude. The biggest of them all, is the people who run this club!

John Elkann and co. should make a move NOW. Otherwise, it's safe to say selling the club to someone who really cares is the right solution to the entire problem!

This is the worst i have seen Juve in a long time, not even the 98/99 season was this poor....yeah we finished 6th but atleast we were still a force in the CL. Right now nobody have any fear of us instead we are the ones who fear even the smallest of clubs.

Bettega said he still has confidence in Ciro, and they are off the market because they have strong players in the house.

Bettega: 'Juve don't need new buys' Sunday 17 January, 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus vice-general manager Roberto Bettega feels the only problem is down to injuries, but they won't go back on the market.

“The team has ups and downs, runs into difficulties and a great deal of it is down to the injuries. Chievo scored with the only shot on goal today,” said Bettega after a 1-0 loss at the Bentegodi.

“Milan emerged from their supposed crisis via faith and the unity of the squad. We have a very important tour de force over the next few weeks and hope to have some key players back who can unite their physicality with quality.”

Transfer reports suggest the Bianconeri will sign either Antonio Candreva or Real Madrid's Gago, but the director rules that out.

“I don't think there will be any big buys, as we believe that we have strong players in the squad now.

“Chievo were more physical today and played well in the air, that's how they won the match.

“In all honesty, this was an ugly game of football from both sides. Chievo were aware of their physical strength and the state of the pitch, so they based the performance on these elements.”

Juve have amassed just 21 points in the last 16 Serie A rounds and if the table were to be drawn up on that period, they'd be in 14th place.

“I look at the full season. It's true we haven't done as well recently, but why did we do better than anyone else in the first month? In Week 7 we were top of the table, because we had the entire squad at our disposal.

“It's easy to talk sitting at a desk looking at a monitor. You read football with your eyes and not through a block of statistics.”

:sigh: Ever since the Elkans took over Juve, the team has gone down in a continuous spiral! They took over and sidelined Andrea Agnelli and his mother. Ever since they have bought 'big names' that seem to have 'an automatic first team place' but have no wish to play for the club. Several youngsters were farmed out/ dumped in favour of these players or left to rust on the bench. It would have been more sensible to have kept faith with them (and DD) when they were promoted. True, it would have been throwing them in the deep end, but it would have strengthened the youngsters.

No, the Elkans have treat Juve like a toy. They don't care what happens to the club, leaguewise. They saw Andrea being popular and Juve doing well. They saw, they wanted and they took over Juve, (how and why they succeeded in this is unclear/dubious). Maybe they get a kick out of buying players, but they haven't a clue how to create a team that can play well together.

The youngsters that were farmed out are doing well in the other teams, so what is going wrong at Juve? Gio and De Ceglie have been benched for so long they are a shadow of what they could be. They got rid of Mimmo Criscito, (the youngster played one game against Roma and was dumped) but look what we have! Grosso is, as his name suggests, GROSS! Ever since he came to Juve, he has been given an automatic first team place, yet he is rubbish! From his very first game, he has disrupted the team. Between him and Tiago, the left flank was so wide open you could drive a fleet of tanks down it. (We have got rid of Tiago ATM). He insisted on taking FKs and made a muck of them and he can't defend for toffee.

Diego played well for the first few games, now he seems to run around a lot, but is not very productive, nor is Amauri! How much of that is the tactic of one striker and Diego playing just behind? In a country, where teams pride themselves in their defensive abilities, this tactic is easily squashed flat. The midfielders (apart from Camo) needed to come forward and start scoring. Apart from Camo, no-one did! They don't seem to know how to shoot at goal, let alone hit the target. What are they doing in training?????? :sergio: And the number of injuries!!!!! :sergio:

Sorry guys! Juve needs an overhaul, from the very top!

Looks like we're broke.

This isn't faith and this isn't about not needing to buy new players. Ranieri was fired for 10 times less than what's Ciro doing.
We simply don't have money to bring a top notch coach or buy important players.

We did invest around 60 millions euro's on Diego and Melo alone. We did not make the Champions League, we are not winning the scudetto, we're building a new stadium, we get stadium bans, yeah I can agree on saying that we're dead broke.

And that means we are royally fucked for at the very least a couple years.

Not really, but not any major changes till summer. We'll see some light if we finish in the top 4.
Yes really. If we don't get a proper coach in and continue down this road, we won't make the Champions League, which would be a major blow to us financially.

When will Iaquinta be back? He has been training with the squad lately, can we see him against Roma? We need Cam, Seba, Trez, Caceres back immediately. We need goals in the net.

It can't affect us now. It will affect us if we fail to reach the top 4 though.
Management HAS to do something though, Juventus is missing something. They need confidence, and morale. They need to play with heart and seek passion and spirit.

Tonight we can potentially go down to 5th place, and who knows what will happen when we face Roma next week. We can go down to 8th.

If we don't make 4th up we'll just get financially worse.
