Well, I can't say I'm terribly disappointed with a home draw to Fiorentina. I do rate them as one of the better teams in Serie A; but without Jovetic, Montolivo, Mutu etc.. We should have done much better. I think Aquilani's sub-par performance was one of the main reasons we lost. I won't be too hard on the guy; he might have been experiencing some pain or fatigue.

And I hate to say this, but Motta is becoming our new Molinaro; the guy that just fucks things up for the team and consistently shows how much of a douche he is yet keeps playing first team football regardless.

I mean, there isn't much to criticize the team about. Any other night when we get this many chances on goal; we would have comfortably won it by two or three goals. I guess lady luck wasn't with the old lady last night.

As for our attack. It's been obvious for months that we need a great striker and last night just serves as a perfect example of torrid finishing that would cost us valuable points.

I personally don't like the Quag-Alex pairing even though it has worked for us in many occasions. Especially when you're playing a 4-4-2 where most of your attacking play is concentrated on the wings.

All in all, okay performance. I don't understand the Melo bashing. I didn't think he was that bad at all actually. He was much better than Aquilani today.

I believe it was only cause of it being a Fierce Rivalry Match.
Well, against Fiorentina, Milan, Inter and Roma we tend to fill the stadium but what I mentioned was that the groups are being more colourful. Dusan might have observed a larger crowd and we need to confirm it. Our fans are fickle, they tend to stop going to the games when things aren't going their way, last season we had horrible attendance.

I think more people attend matches this season, not only derbies come to mind. So many times I've seen our stadium being at 80% or something, which makes the atmosphere great. No way it's like previous year, it was half empty and even at some big matches it was like that. It's going to be great to see full stadium next season, the new one.

I am not denying what you are saying, I was only replying to Nomuken saying because it was only against Viola. We always tend to fill the stands against big rivals.

In rounding things off I would say yes, oh and the Juventus Arena holds 41,000 seats uh yeah that's not counting the sky boxes either. Don't know where you got 40,000 but you must have rounded :lol:

Capacity: 41,000 seats
Parking: 4,000 automobile parking spaces
Total surface: 355,000 square metres
Internal stadium surface: 45,000 square metres
Services areas: 150,000 square metres
Commercial areas: 34,000 square metres
Green areas and squares: 30,000 square metres

It is a horrible result considering we ALWAYS choke when we need to win the most. For the last 3 years I have been watching this team have to come from behind because they can never start the game intelligently. We always have to try and make the game in the second half.

We are not and have not been a first half team. When the going gets tough, we choke. It was like that last year. As soon as Inter choked and the pressure on us increased to close the game or overcome them, the same thing happened, regardless of how poor the team was we were playing.

I blame DN for this loss because he sat a young Sorensen that has been whipping the floors clean with Motta's piss poor performances. Why play someone that has been bad all season. We may as well kept Amauri up top then. Our worst player this season again Vargas. Wow.

Even after the own goal Motta still sucked. It should have been Sorensen or Brazzo at RB.

We played well, unlucky with the result. Having said that, this unlucky result coupled with the draws vs Roma and Brescia goes a long way in killing any title-aspirations.

Aquilani, Motta and Del Piero were poor out there.
