My thoughts are a little different than some I've read here....
We definitely had a better first half with our superior pace and short passing game (which surprised the hell out of me)...all that seemed to be missing was a goal, and Trez had a few good chances to put one away, and didnt
In the second half, we seemed to slow down a bit, and Atalanta pressed forward much more than they did in the first half. We had a few chances through DP, but couldnt capitalize. We were definitely heading for a draw, but Neddy saved our asses !!!
Player ratings-
Buffon- 6.5- One real good save was all that was needed !!
Zebina- 5.8- I cant give him a 5.5 or a 6, so I compromised !!
Not too bad defensively, but when he charges forward with the ball, and then has it taken away, and leaves his whole side open because of it, that leads to problems. A completely unnecessary yellow card for kicking the ball away in anger, when will he learn ?
Legro- 6- I reluctantly give him a 6 rating- he was burned twice by the same player using the same move...he was decent otherwise
Chiellini- 6.5- He was pretty much mistake free, and kept his temper in check
Molinaro- 6- Many here seem to think he was so good...but compared to his past performances, anything is better !! He was ok on the defensive side, concentrated more on his passes and crosses, but still isnt up to par. Arrivederci in January
Palladino- 5.5- Is no Camo, thats for sure. He plays better on the left side of the field, and crosses better with his left foot, as he painfully showed today. I'm not at all impressed with him
Nocerino- 7- Man, he was all over the place !! He is a real battler, and never slows down. Almost had a goal, and had a couple of decent passes. A real ball winner !!
Zanetti- 6- Was overshadowed by Nocerino's performance, but was solid nevertheless. He isnt a creative player, but managed a few good passes, and stayed out of the book as well
Nedved- 7.5- My MOM. He single- handedly won the game for us with his continious running, never say die attitude, and amazing blast from 30 meters. He obviously still has some fuel left in the tank, so lets hope he has enough to get him throught the season. I would like to see him play behind the strikers in a more free role (trequartista), so we can take advantage of his precise long distance shots (just like Lippi use to play him)
Trez- 5.5- He had enough chances in the first half to make something happen. The second half he was almost invisible (not entirely his fault)
Iaqunita- 5.5- He showed pace in the first half, and that was about it. Really ineffective for the 45 minutes
Marchionni- 5- Another waste of Juve money. Cant pass or cross, so why is he here ?? Had NO effect on the game whatsoever...Arrivederci in January
DP -6- He added more to the game than Iaquinta, with some nice moves against the Atalanta defense, and a few decent free kicks. The offense just didnt seem to get much going in the second half, even with DP's creativity
Ranieri - 6- the jury is still out...this team has too many subs that dont belong on this team, and maybe even Serie A. I hope that some personnel changes are made in January, because if we have a string of injuries, we may be fucked

short passing? are you nuts?!!? every ball forward was a long one in the first half and it barely worked at all.

Agreed!!
But u gotta admitt that paying 21 mill. euros for 2 players who play in the exact same position & with nearly the exact same style & then benching both of them for nearly half of a season now is STUPID!!
Anyway I dont criticize Ranieri as much as people do but all I know from the guy's history is that he is not a Winner & I dont think he will ever be one,I think he is okay for this season & that he is doin a good job but Juve fans all around the world are used to winning & only winning & I hope our board are smart enough to get a Winner coach with a strong personality who can bring world class players to Juve so that we can get back where we left 2 years ago.
Forza Juve
