Can anyone remember the last time when we played a competitive game (non friendly) when we had our full strongest starting 11?

You thought this was our best match all season?

It says more about our general performance, despite the results, then this game, but yes, this game is was better then all games except Roma, and only difference with Roma game was having Diego.

With regard to passing and possession, I simply don't agree.

 

[JCK]

Don't agree with that at all. We were piss poor passing the ball in midfield today, partly because of you know whom.

Roma was the best match thus far, IMO.

Apart from Poulsen and the first 20 minutes where Poulsen was good, our passing was excellent. Don't forget, against Roma we had Diego and that adds a lot to the overall game.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Trez. Good to see. Everyone else meh.

Yeah, he came on as a sub and scored a header. Trez goal.

 

[Hust]

Whenever poulsen received the ball it looked as though his brain shut down. He had no idea where to put it...instead, he sends it long

 

[Snoop]

I dare to say this is our best match too, Roma is very weak, Genoa was much tougher, if our two points weren't stolen, no one would disagree about this.

 

[Dominic]

Two goals conceded doesnt coincide with best match to me. Liked our counters though.

the way we absolutely dominated the 2nd half, yes

Has anybody seen Chimenti giving instructions on the sidelines?

i saw the match and from my assessment we were robbed today. i'm not one to complain about tertiary factors but today those factors prevented us from leaving with 3pts.

genoa has a very impressive squad this year and i will be the 1st to admit that i sorely underestimated them until today. but that is no excuse for us conceding 2 headers.

we started off real hot with vinny's opening goal, but i wish we kept gunning for another. with our early start and players like poulsen not showing up to play, we are the victims of our own circumstance.

What do you mean by solid? We almost lost the match...

Sometimes it happens to completely outplay your opponent and draw the match, even lose.
Yes, we almost lost but it takes nothing away from the way we played in big part of the match, how we pressured them, how we created enough chances to score 4 or 5 and how we allowed little to Genoa (considering how much they usually create at home).
Had Iaquinta's goal been allowed you all would have sang another song.

Anyway....
We had more possession (51%-49%)
Shots on target (Juve 8 - Genoa 3)
Shots wide (Juve 7 - Genoa 4)
Corners (Juve 8 - Genoa 3)

We created great chances at 1:0 (two free headers missed by Amauri), we had chances at 1:1 (even a disallowed goal) and eventually we came back in situation when 99% of the teams will crush (Napoli were completely destroyed when they went 1:2 after leading 1:0).

We played a solid match and i blame the lose of 2pts (yes, i don't think we won a point tonight. I think we lost 2, because we deserved to win) on the attackers for not being clinical enough.

That was brilliant. I had to rewind to make sure of it as well.

 

[Snoop]

Two goals conceded doesnt coincide with best match to me. Liked our counters though.

If our second goal counted, they wouldn't counter attack that and score. The match was probably going to end 2-1. Imagine how would you react now, I won't let the referee change my opinion about this match because of that wrong decision.

I saw that

Bad quality photo here, but we where robbed here:

Had Iaquinta's goal been allowed you all would have sang another song.

Personally, I wouldn't be. Just wasn't that impressed tonight.

 

[Hust]

I am not happy about being behind Inter now.

 

[BarkuZ-yes i am an ass]

Only against Roma we played better (Diego?). Against Chievo and Livorno we had good first half and boring (against Livorno) and nervous (against Chievo) second half. Against Bordeaux we were bad and against Lazio we were average.
Today we were solid.

We were tragic....on moments it looked like a domination game for Genoa. Some people give Poulsen rating 6? First neurology please.

Guy started well and then misplaced cca 50 passes till the end of the game.

Our whole team looks shaky and only time we played good was against Roma....

 

[Alen]

I am not happy about being behind Inter now.

Hopefully it won't last long. Inter have maybe the most important CL match following (away to Rubin in Russia) and Sampdoria is a nasty team to beat in Genoa.
We can beat Bologna and finally be clear on top.
