[Serie A] JUVENTUS 1-2 Roma (Jan. 23rd 2010) (28 Viewers)

[Lo-Pan]

Match Ratings:

Buffon....7/10. Made no errors, commanded his area with majestic presence, and took one for the team with an intelligent tactical foul to save a certain goal.

Chiellini...6.5/10...Tried hard to drive the team onwards, breaking out of defence to make up numbers in midfield whenever possible. But unable to hide the inadequacies to his left and right.

Legro...3/10. Unsurprisingly shocking. Ring rusty, without pace or positional awareness.

Grosso...3/10. He seems to get slower with every passing game. With what we presently have as alternatives, I would rather see Sali or De Cegli at left back. At least they can cross and the youngster has pace, the goblin has determination.

Grygera...6/10. Competent yet unspectacular. I look forward to Caceres' return.

Momo...6.5/10. His usual hustle and bustle and wretched passing. Good to see him back in the ranks.

MArchisio...6/10. Showed as many decent touches and poor touches. His growth has sorely stagnated in recent months.

Sali...5.5/10 Added some urgency to the right flank and never gave in, but a menace TO OUR TEAM, once moved to defence.

Diego...6.5/10. The ONLY player in a Juve shirt who looks capable of consistently maintaining possession and successful distribution. He has definite quality on the ball. But all too often, when he passes the ball, he wont get it back...

DP...6.5/10. Beautiful strike for the goal, but generally poor. No pace, No strength...

Amauri...3/10. Missed the only chance he managed to find, by heading straight at the keeper. His all round game is a shambles. And I place MUCH of the blame of our recent crises, at his feet.

Candreva...N/a...no time to get into the game.

Paolucci...N/A

Our passing game is atrocious. We take too many touches on the ball, and play very obvious passes (Diego exempt). Lacking ideas. Our defence caught out with any pace or decent balls whipped in from the flanks. Nobody looks to Ciro for help, because he is the Cause, not the Solution. That much is clear, to me and the players.

No positives can be taken from yet another anemic performance in a HUGE game, against one of our most fierce rivals, in front of OUR OWN FANS. As the saying goes 'dont shit in your own nest', but we do it every chance we get...

And to think today is Agnelli`s death anniversary. May he rest in peace, though i am not sure he can rest, cause he was someone who cared about this team. Someone who was passionate about this team.

Forget about the average manager and bad transfers and etc. Our board consists of people who dont care about Juventus. Sometimes i see people here making fun of the Juventus material thing, well they might have a point. Our board doesnt seem to care about Juventus at all. Hence they aint Juventus material.


I wish someone could come and change these things. We have so many problems, and we are making things worse day by day because of this board. I wish there would be out there people who could come in and change things, but sadly there aint. There is no Gianni out there. The Elkanns are either busy doing drugs or are concentrating on other businesses, like FIAT Grupp.

No wonder things are going bad, Gigli finishes his "project" and Blanc just takes over. Since when is Juventus president position something you can just toy around. Or any president position?

Like i said, no wonder things are like they are, this is project for the board, not for the team. Blanc is just happy to have gotten a new position, Gigli is now busy with other stuff (juve was just a short spell career move for him).

A proper organization, which a football club also is, needs a proper management, president, people with clear vision, people who are ready to give their whole career for the organization, people who bread football and have a good business sense. People like Gianni Agnelli. People like Gigli and Blanc are just happy to add something to their CV, sooner or later Blanc will probably end his "project" and we will have another careless puppy coming in.

But i dont see anyone good enough taking these things over.

If we dont make that 4th CL place then our future might get even darker.

Bettega is the only hope, but as things stand, he has proven to be a man who either lacks the managerial aspects, or just doesnt have big enough balls to make changes happen.

I am seriously wondering if we should replace the owner of our beloved club; meaning sell the club, cause clearly the Agnellis hair are not giving their all for this club.


F--k the board, there is no point to even talk about the game.

We can say that Ciro should go, but i am sensing that Ciro doesnt want to go cause he CARES, thats the difference between him and people like Gigli and Blanc. Ciro might be doing really bad, but at least he has a point, he doesnt want to leave, cause if we leaves, the way this is going, we wont appoint Hiddink but Blanc will bring one of his next door neighbors.

Quality post

Trap said it yesterday: "Juve need character".

A board of directors who are so far away from the team
+
A tennis tournament organizer leading the team
+
A novice transfer guru
+
A clueless coach (Who, by the way, one of the few trying their best to get us out of this mess but his abilities fail him)
=
headless chickens running around the field with no passion whatsoever, excluding some.

We can't expect anything from those. We need a revolution in management first, then we start thinking about footballing matters.

 

[sateeh]

The teams that we had out there over the past two games were simply not good enough

 

[Lion]

1 thing that is clear to me, is, that the likes of Amauri (I'm sick of seeing him), Legro, Grosso, Cannavaro, Melo, Del Piero, Poulsen, Iaquinta, Trez, Camo, Grygera, Zebina, Molinaro and last but NOT least by any stretch of the imagination CIRO FERRARA should all be gone after this season. Who is not old and past it is either average or downright mediocre, NOT Juventus material.

not this crap again

 

[Joe]

This would be a Juve team that I think can be realistic and can perform well.

Buffon
Caceres - Ranocchia - Chiellini - Rafinha
Sissoko - Marchisio
Candreva - Diego - Giovinco
Pazzini​

I'd be frothing from the mouth.

 

[Lion]

Rafinha is not a left back.

 

[Joe]

Rafinha is not a left back.

Ah! That is right, he's an RB.
But whoever it is, it has to be someone other than Grosso.
Lets even put Legro there.

 

[Juve11]

Rafinha is not a left back.

You can put a donkey out there to do a better jobs then our left backs!

 

[Nomuken]

Sissoko played better than Diego. Totti's celebration was uncalled for shushing. Hated that moment, paolucci should have been put in earlier.

 

[Lion]

You can put a donkey out there to do a better jobs then our left backs!

Grosso is so much fail.

 

[Nomuken]

My team that would work

Buffon
Zebina Grygera. Cheillini. De ceglie

Sissoko

Marchisio Gioivinco

Deigo

Immobile. Del piero.

 

[Juve11]

When is Iaquinta, Gia, Camo and Trez back? Put them all into the starting line up straight away I reckon when they are back! They are our best attacking options other the Diego.

 

[Hydde]

Guys, what we do now?

T_T

 

[Albertmare]

Well guys , you can put your own possible way of your starting eleven , but i'd prefer to change our coach with the new one , i bet with our current players under new coach , we'd excel .
Ferrara got a balls to stay but he has to go .

i can't stand this anymore , he is worse than the dummiest coach i've ever seen since ( ranieri ) the day i started supporting Juventus which been 12 years .

 

[redtag]

just call moli to play at left back again.

Amauri...3/10. Missed the only chance he managed to find, by heading straight at the keeper. His all round game is a shambles. And I place MUCH of the blame of our recent crises, at his feet.

How can a player that barely receives the ball most matches be mostly to blame for poor performances that stem from horrendous marking and incredibly poor midfield play? Just look at the displays. We've had zero ideas with the ball, zero movement in midfield, we keep losing the midfield battle, the fullbacks are terrible in support of attacks and in defending, and the centerbacks are suspect in marking at times. Amauri should[/] be doing a better job in moving himself, he should be connecting better with teammates, he should be finishing his chances, without a shadow of a doubt. But since he has seen so little of the ball over the past few months, and had so little support from midfield, how can he take most of the blame?

Amauri has been terrible, but there have been other culprits in the team that have created far more disasters, specifically Melo who was supposed to sure up the midfield and Grosso who was supposed to be the solution for the left flank. But they've been nothing short of terrible.

The engine room is the midfield, and when it's sputtering out of control, the rest of the system has trouble functioning. Putting matters into scale, the larger problems are in midfield and defense, not Amauri's poor form, so I'm not sure how he is a main culprit here. He needs to do much better, and if he doesn't he should be shipped out. But since there is so little support behind him I can't point to him as the major problem.

 

[Bianconero81]

No surprise. We lost yet again! The only surprising factor here is the score line; I was expecting Roma to run riot, but I guess Ranieri chose to be cautious and pay us some respect!

Totti scored his first goal against us in Turin; Ranieri defeats Juve for the first time, in the process granting Roma their first win in Torino since September 2001. I love you Ferrara

 

[Albertmare]

I love you Ferrara

BOOOOO , you Ferrara's bandwagon

 

[Amaurisimo]

Ciro has to resign and stop embarrassing our team and himself.
This season is fucked up anyway and we need new coach asap.
Anyone will do better job..

Even my friend Albert

Can we write useless petition????

 

[Vinman]

no use in even giving a fucking game recap....we played for 45 minutes today, and that was it

we have gotten used to mediocrity, as this ship has sunk to the bottom of the sea....I dont believe that we are better thjan any other Serie A team, and dont be too surprised to see an 11th place finish, with the way things are going

What sort of positive spin will we see out of ZERO, BLANK, SUCKO and the other village IDIOTS running (or should I say ruining) this team tomorrow.... we are satisfied because we ALMOST drew ???

Give me a fucling break....enough is ENOUGH !!!!

Ultras, we dont always see eye to eye, but do something useful, and show the idiots who manage this team that you are unhappy with the performances and results
