I didn't see the match , so i will be more objective , i picked Marchisio as our MoM :juve:
You are not the only one in here . There are many fans who don't even see the match and write stuff. At least you are honest...
An unlikely deflection against a hapless Napoli team that only brought Santacroce to the game is what won us the game. Our lack of killer instinct in front of the net in the first half was frustrating to watch, and in the second half, we seemed to lose our steam. DP is not in his best form right now, Trez is still not back to his best, and Amauri is pretty much in the same boat as DP at this moment.
I would agree with you here about DP but i would like to say that Amauri is in great shape. Its just bad luck, however im sure he will be OK before anyone else and scoring.
As I was watching our attacks in the first half (while Napoli was just letting us do whatever the hell we wanted to...except score) I kept thinking that IF Chelsea doesnt run us into the ground with their pace and fitness, they might as well just sit back and defend, and catch us on the counter. If the Napoli that I saw earlier in the season showed up today (the one that beat us already), they would have done that, and probably managed at least 1 or 2 goals. Remember my words when we play Chelsea.....
I think that was Reja's plan. He knew we had game just 3 days ago, so they maybe let us willingly, maybe not as much as they wanted, but yes, we missed some great chances, and we should finish game even in 1st half.
Towards the end of 1st half, i could already see that we are out of steam, and believe me , it's nothing to do with us trying to protect result..
Poulsen was my MOM, with Chiellini and than Marchisio in 3rd.
I was also surprised about taking of Gio instead of Dp, but than again, as someone mentioned, maybe CR was afraid to take DP first..
I am very worried about DP form right now, but not only that, our the captain always trying to pass 2-3 players, and usually get stopped at 1st..
I love DP, but I have to criticize in a same way as would criticize CR for taking Gio before DP.
I am happy with a win, but i do regret our missed chances and leaving us all so tense until last minute..Next time we might not be so lucky..
But forza Juve, and let Inter, Roma, Milan and others to worry about result tonight..
Amauri should have never saw the field. IMO.
why not? DP was very tired, he could not put correct 2 passes in a row?
Chelsea has a better manager than we do...
of course, but Chelsea also has better squad.
Giovinco is not a winger, he's an AMC.
We should be happy that he plays at first, secondly as everyone knows this year we play little bit different system .
A few things from this game.
Ranieri is not impressive with his man management. For a player like Giovinco to flourish you need to let him know he can afford to fail 2 times in order to determine the outcome of the game on his third try. This moron is crushing Giovinco right now.
Marchisio what a fucking gem of a player! He grew so much these past few months. He started off the season in a dodgy manner and I was seriously questioning what makes this player so special but now I know. He is the new Conte, insanely hard worker and a future Juve icon.
The Salihamidzic substitution and the way the team played after it... no comment.
Well if he ruin Gio, it will be normal, you know, he is called Ruineri, and the same happened with Tiago, who this year somehow better...
in regards to Marchision, you say he grow so much last few months...well, i guess some players cant get ruined...
Great game by both the CMs Marchisio & Poulsen.
Camo did mentioned in a C4 article about the wingers are moving behind the 2 forwards and stuff like that and Juve plays something like a 4-3-1-2 late in the game (Do not know whether it is intentional) . Does it all spells we are closer than ever to take Diego after all.
im feeling Diego now too..
