my ratings, and I'll keep it brief because i dont think there is too much to say:

Buffon: 7.5 - The good
Grygera: 4 - The Bad
De Ceglie: 4 - The Bad
Legro: 2 - The ugly
Mellberg: 2 - The ugly
Camo: 5.5 - Inactive
Nedved: 7 - Excellent crossing
Poulsen: 4 - Incompetent
Zanetti: 5 - Ineffective
Amauri: 4.5 - No confidence
Iaquinta: 7 - Dangerous
Crossbar: 10 - By far and away our man of the match, he was constantly in the right place at the right time, 4 goal line clearances, he could teach Legro and Mellberg a thing or two

Subs:
Del Piero: 6 - Wasteful
Trez: 4 - Did nothing (sell him)
Zebina: 6 - Average

Ranieri: 0 - Cant even work out how to organise a defence against an average team. Left one of the best players in the stand and is tactically clueless. Go away now, the time is here

FT thoughts...

I feel sorry for Ranieri...but at the same time, I am desperate for him to leave the club. Because the players are simply not playing as a team. We find it so hard, next to impossible, to keep the ball for any decent length of time. Whatever formation we played today, with that defence, was going to suffer.

there was a constantly depressing flow of balls played straight through and over our defence, which left buffon facing a one on one. Yes, we are missing CHiellini...and Molinaro...but still. Mellberg, Grygera and Legro are not good enough for this level. They never have been and never will be...De Ceglie may have some use as a left midfielder, as he can cross the ball and has a fair amount of hustle and bustle about him, but as a left back...he is clueless.

Ranieri is failing to get the most out of what he has available. The decision to bring on Del Piero was the wrong one. We needed sparks of creativity, not slow moving flair. Giovinco should have played. He should have been at the start of the second half...

there are few positives to take from this game. Other than that it should confirm that Ranieri will be hung. or sold to the chinaman as fuel...at the end of the season.

Zanetti's goal was superb...Poulsen was shocking, from start to finish.

we can confirm, though we already knew that it is essential that we get rid of
Grygera, Mellberg, Legro, Poulsen...and de ceglie should be sent on loan to a club where he can develop. We have not the luxury of allowing a developing talent to play in defence.

this result is awful. but to be honest, we could, and perhaps should have lost...

    Our players deserve to be beaten to death. Despite that handicap sitting on our bench, they simply MUST do better than this. What were they doing today? Even if you're paid to play so amateurish you won't be able to do it.

    What Poulsen was doing today is a crime and deserves a jail sentence. I'd stop being a football player immediatly if i defend the way Mellberg, Legro and Grygera defended today. I'll know i'm no good and i'll quit.
    Del Piero is a master of missing easy chances. Amauri played his worst match and Camoranesi was almost as criminal as Poulsen.

    We have hit Rock Bottom.

    I thought relegation was. Surely I am at big mistake for thinking that.
    It has been 2 months for Juve without a win. We look less than Average nowadays..

    We moved 1 point closer to Milan :weee:

    Congrats Ranieri for breaking a record :tup: You'll forever be in the Juventus history books, in the same chapter as Calciopoli and the Epo-scandal.

    Nedved Man of the Match. 2 games left for this legend :cry:

    Sell whole defence apart from Chiellini, and Molinaro. Nedved should be captain. Ranieri and board out and take camoranesi, tiago and marchionni with them.
    Learn how to defend set plays.... Thank God Cannavaro is coming back, he may be a traitor but he can defend, our defence does not know the meaning of the word.
    Zebina... at least his mother loves him.
    Hopefully Pavel can drag us to victory against Siena and Lazio.:xfinger:

    Agreed. Although Trez's poor performance is not his own fault. Why bother do a 4-3-3 if we can't provide proper delivery to our strikers with all 4 midfielders? :shifty:

    Lets start the countdown, because its ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL if Ranieri stays to coach even tommorrow, let alone the Siena game next week. I mean, 8 games without winning, how old is the record it broke? from 55?
