are you being serious here? ok so your saying a team that loses to a team twice proves that the victor is a better team?? thats bullshit bari drew with inter twice are they on par with inter??? thats a bullshit argument and balzaretti is overrated as is cavani.

amauri was tearing palermo up not to long ago theres a big diffrenence in playing with a mid table team compared to a team with the status of juventus.

we have had a shit season, its been terrible but it doesnt mean we are a shit team! we have been mismanaged, this team with the right acquisitions in the mercato can become a world beater again, i believe we can be anyway. not to mention a competent coach with the right formation...
Spot on

Long term we have a lot of problems, from style of play, certain positions/players, consistency from a coaching perspective and rejuvenating the squad.

Even with all those problems we should still be able to make 4th spot and a good run in the Europa.

That leads to the short term, we need to solve those injury situation. The players had a few games where genuine effort was put and look what happened to it. Its important to have them back because without them I don't see how we could achieve those goals as fatigue is killing us.

The amount of injuries this season is partly an excuse for not achieving anything.
Under Ranieri we had a lot of injuries as well but we still managed to end up 2nd and get through the group fase of CL

i pointed out this in the start of the season when we were winning and everyone laughed at it, but physically the team was a joke IMO. every 2nd half of every game we seems as if we are going to have a heart attack from running which shows how very little preperation we made in pre-season. the problem started way ahead of this season, which mainly explain the high number of injuries too. you could see in some early games we struggle in the last mins of every game for a not so young squad this could be problematic. this is not Ciro's fault as he doesn't have the experiance to see it coming with the posative results we go in the pre-season you may think that this team is ready

We not only lost to them twice we were dominated by them twice, not only that but they're now ahead of us in the standing. Having a bunch of big name washed up superstars in our team does not make them the better team. If we were... then we should have proved it but we couldn't. Comparing inter-bari to Juve-Palermo is completely different scenario, some of you fail to realize Juventus is not the team they were under the Triade. Some of you need to wake up and stop living off of past glory because this present Juve is not good enough for CL football.

You really think opponents a shaking in their boots at the thought of facing our slow aging frontline (Alex-Trez)? if you think that you guys are sadly mistaken. if we had Giovinco in the team, the 1 player with speed and creativity they would have serious things to think about but that is not the case because those mediocre coaches choose to bench our best player (Giovinco) for overated crap.

Look at yesterdays game for ex, everytime Palermo came forward they look like scoring or atleast creating a chance, compare that to us everytime we go forward we look like doing nothing.

I would say we don't have a best player. Everybody's performances this season are either bad or really, really average.

speak for yourself, when Giovinco played he add energy and joy to the team. Gigi has been brilliant for the most part but with this defense any other goaltender would have conceded 3-4 goals a game.

No, Giovinco is overrated. There is a reason why 3 consecutive coaches never played him.

What does those 3 coaches have in common? lets see.....they're all Italian with their outdated tactics and football philosophy. The reason they don't want to play him is because of his size and their "he can't play defense excuse" watch every game that Giovinco played for Juve, we won 7 out 10 and have done so with an exciting brand of football.

Last year against Chelsea who came in and turn the game on it's head upstaging all the other Juve players? wait for it.....GIOVINCO. The kid made Chelsea defense look very average and they had no answer for him.

Giovinco really wasn't that good against Chelsea. He just made a few poor crosses and took on their right back successfully a couple of times.

giovinco will probably never make it at juve and he will probably never be half as good as messi or people of messi's calibre, but you must not have seen that chelsea game. giovinco was incredible. brought a new life to the team.

Just like Marchionni did in the first leg.
