No, i'm not.
I don't like Molinaro more than i like players like De Ceglie, Knezevic, Mellberg or Salihamidzic, nor do i dislike De Ceglie.
They are all the same to me. Juve players, i like them all, but i don't have the same love and respect for them that i have for Buffon, Del Piero, Trez, Nedved or Camo.
I only rate them judging from their performances. There is no emotional factor that prevents me to see how bad/good they are. I'm looking with my eyes, not with my heart and what i see is that at this moment Molinaro should play LB, not De Ceglie. Maybe one day De Ceglie will be a good defender (i doubt though) but today he isn't. Neither is Molinaro, but he's better than De Ceglie and he's more used to playing there than DC. Especially against the better teams, the teams that put us under a lot of presure, Molinaro should be the obvious choice.
Attacking wise DC is a better player already and in few years he'll be classes better than Moli. But that's only for the attacking part. In defense, Molinaro is my choice right now.
P.S: You on the other hand hate Molinaro. You've said that and you've shown that to us many times. You are biased, i am not.
You seem to conveniently forget two things though, potential and play time!
When you only seem to remember the current form and performance!
Many times over, we did sacrificed all 3 of them to give Molinaro a chance.
We actually did sacrificed an entire season, so that he can reach the status he is today. I know you are not a hypocrite and thats why i called you biased.
How can you forget how many games we wasted on Molinaro's shake?? And for what??
As long as i watch Juve, i can barely remember such an incompetent player, given so many chances, for absolutely no good reason!
DC on the other hand has shown some real potential, ok, yes not today, this was one of his worst days, but still, he was far better than Molinaro has been for an entire season. And def not a disaster!
And yet, you tolerated the disastrous Molinaro last year and you come here to bash DC.
A player who is much better than Molinaro was last year, both offensively and defensively. The only edge Molinaro has, is due to playing time.
DC will do much less mistakes, he will have a much better contribution and will need much less time to reach that live, if given the half of the chances Molinaro had. And from there, you can easily guess who has the potential to become good enough to be our starter in an A level team!
How can you compare them like that and declare that Molinaro is better, even defensively than DC, when there is absolutely no common ground to compare!
You compare the functionality and the teamwork of a player who has been a starter for 2 years, to young newcomer?? And you conveniently forget the times when DC proved that he can also be better than Molinaro even defensively.
Tell if this is not biased, then what it is? It needs some insight and a lot of courage to see if you are, or not. I am not afraid to admit it, all though, i am trying to be fair and hear the other side.
DC has more potential and he was not as harmful, as Molinaro used to be,
he should be given more chances and playing time, to find his role within our team. ATM, he is not given fair chances and situations like this will only work the other way. When he was proved better than Molinaro, he wasnt given another chance and now you were only quick to dismiss him, forgetting everything we have seen so far!
One game/month. Thats really unfair...
If Molinaro has learned to defend, despite the lack of all the basic football skills, imagine how fast and how efficiently DC will learn, when given the chance!!
PS 1: You may not be biased on DC, but you do over rate Molinaro, you always did...
You defended him, when he was far far worse than DC was yesterday,
although he has never showed the potential, DC has shown. You couldnt possibly know that DC will not be as good as usual, how could you miss Molinaro then?
And what makes you think he would have done any better? Isnt Mellberg and Grygera usually are any better than that?
PS 2: At this particular moment, CR had no option, if he would, he would choose DC instead. I would do, fielding a player who had so limited playing time, isnt the brightest idea on derbies. (If you only meant that, then we agree on that!)
And thats precisely why DC should get more chances elsewhere!
