i have never commented on this forum b4 -- but this is the worst i ve ever felt in years of supporting juventus -- i was totally disgusted -- ferrara keeps getting out smarted by other coaches - - -- i actually reachd apoint where i am going to stop watching - - - cause i am gettin too angry and cant do anything for 2 -3 hours after - - we r not winning anything under ferrara - - sorry to say
Not a good way to start, Bro. We lost with Trap, Lippi, Ancelotti, and Capello. It's part of the game. The most important thing is not to see the same happens over and over again.

We gotta believe.

and bring some decent players in January.

I mentioned "consistency" in the Samp game thread, when others like DON BESSIE are ready to proclaim this Juventus team as the greatest ever after that victory .....I'm sure if Amauri was in front of him, he'd be ready to drop to his knees and suck him dry of every drop in his load......sorry Bessie, but this team is pretty fucking bad, and todays performance is proof

We have played one good game since the Roma victory so many weeks ago...we have one good game against Doria, and every myopic "fan" on this forum forgets just how badly we've been playing.

Napoli OWNED us today, from the beginning of the game until the 95th minute. We had one good play that led up to the Trez goal, but what after that, a give away in the box for Giovinco's goal ?? We did NOTHING else today, and Ciro and company should be ASHAMED and EMBARASSED !!

Ciro looked like a scared kid when Napoli finally scored...he knew what was coming, and did NOTHING to prevent the inevitable. The better team won today

POORsen has to go, Tiago must follow, and throw Grygera out as well

Diego and Melo, our big name signings, are not earning their money

Shame to Canna for giving up on the second goal, he just laid there after he fell and didnt bother to get his ass up to help the defense

Datolo was my MOTM...he was their missing link to finally put away the several chances they had throughout the game

With performances like these, we can kiss Scudetto dreams and advancement to the second round of the CL goodbye.....

We had a one off good game against Doria, but looking at this season as a whole so far, we have been pretty piss-poor, even worse than the torture we lived with last season with RUINeri. We have spent big money for improvement, and are no better off......Ferrara needs to go, so we can end this "on the job training" opportunity, and get an experienced coach in here, who knows how to win.

Beautiful goals by Napoli to be honest.
Watched the first half and had to leave for my own game, I followed it on livescore.com and was happy that it was 2-1 for us. After a couple of minutes I checked again and it was 2-2, moments later 2-3.

I stopped watching after that, Napoli was the better side in the 1st half and I didn't believe we would achieve anything out of it. Don't know what to say really. I can't understand why we can't be really consistent but its a annoying point. Who shound we change, what should we do? On paper it is supposed to be one of the best in the league but we fail to achieve it on the field.

As one said before, Ciro has to go. He is a starter, not yet a winner and we need a coach who indeed knows how to win.

So coach is not supposed to wake his players up?
If they don't start waking themselves up, and always depend on a coach to motivate 'em, I'm afraid they're not worthy of a scudetto.

Not just some members of the squad. The whole squad must be motivated and concentrated for let's say >85% of the season to win something.

as vin said, consistency isnt there

we took our foot off the pedle, we were unlucky to lose camo so early it really hurt us.

i was just speechless, i remember in the live thread people blaming diego and melo, very sill melo was out there by himself in reality, diego controlled most of the game in the attacking half, giovinco was great once again.


the defense was just bad, grosso was getting raped

i dont even no what to say really, im just scared of the fact we have to play with poulsen and tiago possibly with sissoko out.

tiago is a useless piece of dirt, i remember seeing numerous times him just giving up the chase as if he were tired, while you see players notibly canna out running tiago and attempting the challenge

now why is poulsen so slow as well?

Melo did have a terrible game though. One thing that was missing was the destroying partnership of Melo - Sissoko. Melo didn't even rock up, and the challenges he did make were terrible. He gave the ball away several times too and it exposed out shaky defense yet again.

If we had controlled the ball more and shut down Napoli's attacks we wouldn't even be complaining about how shit our back four is right now. Grosso was slow and not desperate enough and Grygera didn't give anything in defense, I saw Datolo running down our right side with Grygera slowly chasing meters behind. He could have walked it right into the box if he liked. But even so, Datolo should never have received that pass into space and that has to do with the defensive effort and desperation of our midfield, namely Melo and Poulsen but also the whole team who just weren't running back.

Poulsen in truth, wasn't actually THAT bad though. Certainly not so bad that he was completely anonymous, he won the ball a few times but as the team started to get worse, so did he. Regardless of Poulsens performance, Melo made some terrible challenges and passes that almost cost us the game.
Sometimes I think Melo is not right in the head. He's just a big tough stupid guy. Did you see him take Gio's free kick? What a goose! He didn't even ask he just went up and booted it into the wall, the ball deflected and almost caused another dangerous Napoli counter attack. He's just not switched on sometimes, he works completely on impulse at times and it shows in his passing and his terrible tackling. That's not to say I don't rate him highly. But he did have a terrible terrible game irrespective of Poulsens performance.

Yeah he takes an eternity with the ball at his feet. And by the time he passes it, his passing options have been closed down and he gives the ball away. The samp game was an example of what we should be doing all the time, nice one touch passes, moving the ball quickly and keeping defenders guessing.
