- Thread starter SABSAB
- Start date
So, Vin, are you boycotting our games until the end of the season in protest at the shit Ciro and his troops are spewing week in, week out?
Btw, I don't condone the pelting of our team bus with eggs; however, I find it difficult to condemn the fans who pay money to come and watch their team perform, but instead end up suffering match after match as a result of these spineless, gutless displays. I would be frustrated too!

In opening, I will always love Juve and I will always suppert us!
But what happend to Juventus, we are not even a shadow of even last years team! We must reinforce the CB situation quick smart as we need more pace in there Legra and Canna are too slow!
We must play Marchisio in CM were he plays his play and either play Gia or let him leave its a waste of a talent in my opinion.
Trez and DP are too slow now I love them to death. Amauri gets nothing no wonder he doesent score if he played for Ason Villa he would score more.
We have no wingers and 5 Central Midfielders with 4 of them defensive midfielders (Seccos fault).
Diego is a creator but needs some pace to help him!
In closing PLEASE PLEASE get rid of secco he is the heart of the problem! Bringing in Canna, Tiago and Poulsen was bad enough but then to sign a defensive midfielders who we really didnt need for massive amounts of money isint good enough (no offence to Melo who will be a good player) but you cant play Marchisio, Poulsen, Sissoko, Tiago and Melo at once espically out wide.
Im upset about this and cant see much changing untill Chellini and Iaquinta are back!

A home loss against last placed Catania. Looks like we have really hit rock bottom now.
First of, I don't think we deserved to lose this one. Not that we played a great, or even good game (first half was one of our worst performances yet), but this truly is a harsh result.
Had we approached the 1st half in the same manner as the second, we would not have needed to take chances at the back near the end of the game.
Really strange that, considering our recent run of games, we still start games in such a lacklustre manner.
Makes you wonder if there are some players who just don't give a damn. Sure, part of the blame goes to the coach because he choses the tactics and formations. But I feel that the players who do receive a starting spot should at least try to do something.
Manninger 5 - I'm obviously not blaming him for the loss but it's difficult to rate him as he had very little to do.
Caceres 5 - Sloppy game. His positional problems were there for everyone to see.
Legrottaglie 5,5 - Some excellent tackles & positioning coupled with some glaring mistakes. Possibly our only player who was better in the 1st half than in the 2nd.
Cannavaro 5,5 - Mixed the good with the bad. Shaky 1st half, improved in the 2nd.
Grosso 5,5 - Quite dangerous going forward at times but he always made the wrong decision(s). At times insecure in defence, but he did make a few necessary interventions.
Marchisio 6 - Nothing brilliant, but probably our best player out there.
Melo 3 - Nice to see that he's working hard to counter all the criticism that he has received.
Tiago 4 - Pretty poor, even when you don't consider the foolish foul in our area.
Diego 5,5 - Credit where it's due: nice assist and some other good moves. He needs to think & act a lot faster though and at times he just looks so clueless.
Amauri 5 - Tried to get involved but was simply not good enough.
Trezeguet 5 - Comparable to Amauri.
Salihamidzic 5,5 - Calm finish & 1 other good attacking move. But I wasn't really that satisfied with his work in the middle. Sure, he was an improvement over Melo but that's not saying much. Hell, we could replace Melo with a cardboard box and it would also be an improvement.
Giovinco 4,5 - Rather poor. Still, we should do everything possible to grant him a starting spot after the winter break.
Del Piero 5 - Only a very limited impact on the game.

What was his position yesterday? 
He was on the right side in the midfield trio and even though his instincts were pushing him on the wing, his role was different yesterday and he didn't play as a winger. I saw him in the center a lot, playing a typical CM. For some 2-3 minutes he even covered the left side while Seba played on the right and pretty often he could be seen at the edge of the box or even inside Catania's box.
He didn't play since August (when he played LB) so your dissatisfaction with his work in the middle is understandable. Plus, he played in a midfield trio, which might have been the first time in his life that he played in such position.
But what confuses me is what was his role supposed to be? I like versatility and I like it when players switch positions during the match to confuse the opponent. It implies that the coach is involved in the game and there is a plan.
But the way Brazzo was moving yesterday didn't look like a plan to me.
If Ferrara gave him a free role and if the plan was to add more bodies in attack, then good and since Brazzo did score a goal, kudos to Ferrara for that sub he made.
But in a team where no-one seems to know his role Brazzo's inclusion in the team added even more confusion.
Başıbozuk is a turkish word for the irregular soldiers in the army that worked without any kind of discipline and without a leader. That's how our team looks lately and that's the first word I could think of when I watched Brazzo perfectly representing how the team looks right now. No idea where to move, no plan, headless chicken working on his own.
Bah, at least he scored and was a danger in one or two more occasions. The others don't do even that.
