it was no fear to anyone few years back, now we are counting opponent's yellows and injuries..
However i can see great potential next season if we get 2-3 more players which we talked about..

lol that wouldn't even work on FM

Besides Papa Waigo, their attack is nothing, so why should we play 4-4-2 with two DMF? The best offence is defence? Hell no, the best defence is offence !

maybe cos we dont have (good) enough strikers to back it up if someone get injured of those 3!?
But we need those 3 points like USA needs oil

Ranieri tested both a Tiago-Sissoko and Tiago-Nocerino midfield in training today.

So what? You shouldn't bench a striker 'cause you're worried one of the others may get injured. Suppose one of them get's injured, replace him with a midfielder and we can still play 4-3-3.

Ranieri tested both a Tiago-Sissoko and Tiago-Nocerino midfield in training today.

But probably decided they didn't work as Tiago didn't defend enough.

 

[pavelnedved]

would tiago realize that it's time he proves something in the next game ?

 

[RAMI-N]

would tiago realize that it's time he proves something in the next game ?

How can he do that, if he is being played once a month and for no more than 45 mins?!

here it says Vieri and UJFALUSI have 4 yellow cards...
They should get 1 match suspension...No?!!!!

They already served it.
They got 4 yellows, they were suspended for one match and they didn't get a yellow after that.
None of the two is suspended for Juve-Fiorentina

Liverani is the latest injured player in Fiorentina. He may not be the good old Liverani, but he's still their midfield general.

Juve, scocca l'ora di Tiago

Dopo molta anticamera, il portoghese contro la Fiorentina partirà titolare al fianco di Sissoko, complice la squalifica di Zanetti. Comincia così l'operazione-rilancio dell'acquisto più costoso del mercato bianconero

VINOVO, 28 febbraio 2008 – Operazione rilancio. E’ ciò che ha in mente Claudio Ranieri da qualche giorno a questa parte. L’uomo da rilanciare è Tiago Cardoso Mendes, il suo momento potrebbe arrivare nella prossima sfida contro la Fiorentina.
DIFFICOLTA’ - Il primo impatto con la Juventus ed il campionato italiano non è stato felice per il portoghese che ha impiegato mesi ad ambientarsi. In campo inizialmente non ha convinto né Ranieri né i tifosi, tanto che ha dovuto sopportare panchina e tribune. Un vero lusso trattandosi del maggior investimento del mercato estivo bianconero: la Juve ha speso 13 milioni di euro per strapparlo al Lione. Ora qualcosa è cambiato, il portoghese è migliorato e in allenamento gioca con grinta e più personalità. Tanto da convincere Claudio Ranieri a prenderlo seriamente in considerazione per la Fiorentina.
RILANCIO - “Tiago non ha giocato molto – ha detto il tecnico a Juventus Channel, ma ha soltanto 6 presenze in meno di Iaquinta. Lo vedo più sereno di qualche tempo fa, è più inserito e mi auguro di poter concedergli le possibilità che merita. Gli ho parlato e lui sa che ho sempre avuto fiducia in lui”. Potrebbe essere l’occasione tanto attesa per Tiago per mettersi in mostra, magari al fianco del nuovo arrivato Sissoko, approfittando dell’assenza per squalifica di Zanetti. Stamattina in allenamento Ranieri ha puntato proprio su Tiago, provandolo prima al fianco di Nocerino poi insieme a Sissoko durante la partitella di possesso palla. Contro i viola potrebbe essere arrivato il suo momento.

Tiago has a good chance of starting next to Sissoko

And who told you guys that Pazzini is suspended ?
He isn't suspended and he's available for the match this weekend.

 

[vimo]

mutu's still out is that true?

Who's out for us? Nedved, zanetti? who else?
maybe tiago will have to prove himself again on sunday... atm i'm not sure if we're strong enough (mentally) to win against them... it all depends on delpiero imo

So Ranieri is going to start Tiago after not using him in about 50 days due to the fact he finally realizes Nocerino sucks.

What brilliant team management that is.

the juve management confuses me so much ranieri's tactics our transfer stratagy our club is truly run by madmen

And you know what will happen? Tiago will be rusty, low in confidence, not match fit and play a horrible game. Ranieri will feel vindicated about not playing him previously 'Me Claudio, me really clever'

 

[Bjerknes]

Of course some fools here will say that Ranieri was right in not playing Tiago because it was a "risk" at the time. But what they forget is that Nocerino has been stinking up our pitch since December, making horrid passes and rash tackles that added very little to our game. Not even bringing on Tiago as a sub in these circumstances is simply foolish, pussy-like behavior by a manager. But that's what Ranieri is, a p...

My coach decided to field me as a sweeper my senior year in high school, something that was quite a risk. I wasn't particulary quick and I never played defense in my life. It's like he took Del Piero and fielded him at centerback. That year we ended up winning the state championship through solid defensive play, so it ended up being a damn good risk that paid off.

Winners take some chances, losers don't. It's what sets the boys and the men apart. You don't have the balls to do something you think is right, you'll never be a good manager. If you do something you think is right despite it not working for the umpteenth time, you're not a good manager.

Exactly what will happen. And then we'll have the typical fools come out of the woodwork and say it's all Tiago's fault.
