[Serie A] JUVENTUS 3-2 Genoa (February 14th 2010) (1 Viewer)

Our team didnt play well but at least at the 2nd half we were closer to their goal
overall its an improvement but still a long way to go before we actually see a Juventus worthy like performance
Amauri usually doesnt score but he always works hard and this game was no different in terms of his work he got one chance and scored
DP was great the only player with good movement and scored a great goal with a nice assist by Diego but it was all DP in that goal
as for the 3rd one I`m not sure if it was a fould or not and I`m not sure if it was inside or outside of the box if anyone has a video of it plz post it (I would also like to see if there was an offside)
Our problem is that our team cant connect with 3 passes consecutively and also our attackers (I don`t mean just forwards but any of our attacking players) don`t move well they need to help the mid creating chances by moving well

We won and i couldnt be happier. Amauri and Del Piero were my MOM Caceres not far behind. Del Piero's first goal was greatness and so was the assist from Diego. Marchisio was also brilliant when he came on.
When Buffon made the mistake for Genoa's 2nd i cursed our luck so much i felt like crying but thankfuly we got some some luck with the penalty.
FORZA JUVE!

That win wasn't convincing in any single way. Without the brilliance of Del Piero, we would have lost the match without a doubt because we were once again a disaster at the back. The formation deployed did NOTHING to insure the victory and probably aided the frivolous nature in which we defended. The only moments in which we did look good was when we scored from open play, the Caceres cross to Amauri and the Del Piero finish. Amauri also had a couple nice layoffs. But apart from that, we were poor. Very poor.
The only problem we solved today was finishing off chances, which we did brilliantly, thanks to the strikers. But the defense and midfield was still quite poor, along with how we don't really know how to play the 3-4-1-2, which isn't surprising. The defense gave up TONS of free headers in the box that would have been converted by a Floccari or Crespo, so Genoa squandered a ridiculous amount of opportunities. The back three was stretched several times and the supposed wingbacks were not always back to provide cover. And then through the midfield, we lacked what we always do in ideas and creativity.
So nothing has really changed. Once again we rely on Del Piero to secure results during poor performances, something that will dry up as his age wears on. If Alex goes missing next time around we will find ourselves struggling to achieve even a point, let alone have notions of "convincing wins."
This silly formation will come back to haunt us in the future because the players we have do not fit the system and they are not really adept at playing in it. This win could very well be another Napoli-like performance, with the next match resulting in disaster.
Buffon - 5 - One of his worst matches he's had, just because of the error.
Zebina - 5.5 - Not convincing as a central right sider.
Legrottaglie - 5.5 - Typical poorness.
Chiellini - 5 - Uncharacteristic mistakes, poor marking, somewhat at fault for the first goal.
Caceres - 6 - Got stuck in, put in a nice cross finally, but he's not a wingback.
Sissoko - 6.5 - As usual he put in good work defensively, and at least he didn't give the ball away as much as usual.
Candreva - 5.5 - Did very little out there in my view.
De Ceglie - 5.5 - Average stuff on the wing, still doesn't appear to have a role or know what exactly he's doing as a wingback.
Diego - 6 - Found some space and tried to make himself available, but I've seen better.
Amauri - 7 - One of his best matches this season. Great layoffs and good goal.
Del Piero - 7.5 - Very quiet in the first half, but saved us with a couple maneuvers in the second.
Marchisio - 6 - Put in decent work defensively.
Hasan - NA

Btw, that was the 3rd penalty we got this season and all of them were gifted by the ref.
Against Bari Grosso took a funny dive and the ref fell for it. Against Lazio Del Piero fell without being touched and the ref fell for it. Today Del Piero tripped of his own feet outside the box and the ref gave us a penalty.
Two of these three penalties came after Bettega joined the board :eyebrows:

We didn't win today because Zac's 3-5-2 worked to perfection. We won because players like Del piero individually created brilliant football to get the win. Amauri's first goal is an excellent example of that. Amauri and Caceres did absolutely nothing for an entire half of football right up untill Caceres provided a perfect cross after somehow skipping past two defenders to Amauri, who somehow managed to jump over and overpower three defenders, before heading it in.
I hope Zac realizes this because I think this formation can potentially cost us a lot of crucial points.
