We can actually beat any team. But we just weren't lucky tonight.
And name me one team who won against a team that had four strikers on the field.

Short but sweet...or not, let's see.
We were amazing 'til 2-0. Ze Maria rushing back is a poor excuse for Toldo not being sent off, he has a tendancy of cheating us - unsuccessfully last time, handling Micco's lob in the Coppa.
Vieri's goal was superb. Great shot, side netting; the only place where Gigi wasn't going to get a hand to it. Thing is - why doesn't he do that for country? Why doesn't he make me happy aswell as Interiste once every 6 months when he decides to justify his salary..that's football I suppose.
Adriano's goal was stoppable however. The finish was clinical - (what d'you expect) - and the cross was pinpoint, but the fact of the matter is: YOU DON'T GIVE ADRIANO SPACE.
We achieved that for about 99% of the game, compliments to our defence apart from a tad too much tenacity from Zebina and a TINY bit of complacency from Thuram, but that 1% included the goal. That's all the 'Witch Doctor' (what the Inter faithful affectionately call the *grudgingly* great man :down
needs.
I'm annoyed. We should've got the 3 pts but we got ahead of ourselves and let it go. However!
This was our away tie with the bastards, so this missed golden opportunity can be rectified at our place.
A win at Lazio and similar (but more consistent throughout) performances against the other big clubs (does that still include Roma?) will be an excellent healing agent. Here's hoping.

Well, I picked it 1-1. So while I should not feel too badly, since we couldn't beat Inter in 4 matches last season, the way we endedup with the lone point was disappointing.
When a team fields four in attack, a team with a notorious tendency to give up a lot of goals, to me that's not when you play defensive cards with a 2-goal (let alone 1-goal) lead. When Pessoto came on for Camo, I immediately disagreed with Capello's choice. With four attackers on the pitch and the lead, that's a great time to force them to play defense. As a Juve forward or offensive midfielder, I would delight in competing against such poor defense on the pitch. Sure, maybe you'll give up a goal -- but you're more likely to score another, at least on a counterattack, too.
But then I'm not a Juve coach for good reason. Still, I immediately said, "Capello: here's your chance to prove your decisions." Well, I think his decision was a failure. At least this time. I thought back to the first Juve-Roma match last season when Trez was replaced by Birindelli with a 2-1 Juve lead. Lippi made the same mistake last time, and Capello fell into the same trap this time.
Still, it was an effort that we should at least feel some pride in. Blasi had a good game. Canna and Zebina and Buffon regularly held firm. Just wish we had more points to show for it.

I completely agree with you when it comes to our offense
Zala's goal was pure LUCK !!!! He couldnt do that again if someone had a gun to his head !!
With the 2nd goal, when Zala got it, he almost froze. Had Toldo not lost his cool, he could have stopped Zala's shot.Toldo did get a piece of the PK, also
With DP and Trez on the injury table so much, we NEED another striker. Zala doesnt cut it, and Zlatan is still a work in progress

Damn,I tought we had it......IMO,Pessoto shouldnt come in,it screwed the concept of play we kept alive whole fckin match...un-nessecary and stupid move IMO
Another thing.....where the **** was our right-side of defence during Martins's run & cross? Of course.....Pessoto's place.....
When he putted him into play....I yelled: FCK NOOOOOOO!!!! I had a bad feeling for him......of course,it's not all his fault but hell...he just shouldn't come in!!!
