Why are we blaming Ranieri instead of our comical defence? Ranieri changed the game in our favour by giving Palladino a free role in the second half but we managed to fuck it up. Noce for Camo was a bad move but I can understand it because he didn't want Camo to get hurt.

Because Ranieri started with a full back as a central defender. that same full back cost us THREE FUCKING goals against Inter's youth team just a month ago and yet we start him in the center again against a good attacking team.

Because Ranieri took off the two creative players and fielder THREE FUCKING DEFENSIVE midfielders to defend a lead where there are 25 minutes left in the game.

Anyway, here are my ratings:

Buffon 6: Did well to make us lose with only one goal, he couldn't have done anything with the three goals we conceded.

Zebina 6: He was average today, he is usually better than that.

Legrottaglie 5: Very weak.

Grygera 1.5: HE IS NOT A CENTRAL DEFENDER!!!

Molinaro 6: Better than usual today but still not up to par. Finally a cross lead to something.

Camoranesi 6.5: Our most creative player, shame he was replaced.

Sissoko 7: My MOM. He did all he could to paralyze Fiorentina and an excellent goal.

Zanetti 5: Bad game today.

Palladino 4: Adds nothing to the team

Trezeguet 4: Invisible

Del Piero 4: Invisible

Nocerino 4: Good for nothing

Iaquinta 5: Today he couldn't save Ranieri's ass

Ranieri 1: This guys doesn't know how to manage a team.

Sums up todays match perfectly well. Sometimes when we lose one feels gutted. Today the coach wanted us to lose so badly it just wasn't funny.

I guess that he hasn't been playing on the right this season.
And just for the record, the worst player in our squad is the one on your avatar

Oh, I'm so hurt. :lol:

And just for the record, Grygera's been playing on the right plenty of times this season. Shakey in defense, awful going forward.

We were good in the first half when we had Camo. Then in the second half Camo scored a goal for us, and then he got substituted, and with his substitution (and Del Piero's) we then had ZERO creativity in the squad, playing with THREE defensive midfielders for about 35 minutes. A team like Juventus NEVER played with three defensive midfielders, we looked like relegation-battlers FFS.

My ratings:

Buffon [6] - It wasn't his fault at any of the Viola's goals, and in fact, if it wasn't for him, we probably would've concedeed two or three more.

Zebina [6] - He tried a lot, offensively and defensively, but it was his fault at the first goal.

Legro [5] - I remember earlier this season that people were saying that Legro should be called to EURO's. :lol2: Kept Pazzini quiet in the first half, but terrible marking in the second half.

Grygera [4] - Terrible, terrible positioning. He isn't a natural CB and he should never play there again.

Molinaro [4] - A countless wrong passes today. He was owned on the left flank today. Nice assist for Camo's goal though.

Zanetti [5.5] - Invisible and a lot of tackles.

Sissoko [6.5] - He was our best player today IMO. Great goal and some great tackles too. He was all over the pitch.

Camo [6.5] - He was trying really hard and had some nice touches too and also scored a great goal. I hope his injury is not serious, because if Camo isn't on our line up, our creativity is zero.

Palladino [5] - He isn't a midfielder and when played at the wing or given a free role in the midfield, he SUCKS.

Del Piero [5] - It wasn't Capitano's day. Invisible.

Trezeguet [5] - Invisible for 90 mins too, but you can't blame him though. With three defensive midfielders in the field, there was none to deliver the ball to Trez.

Subs:

Iaquinta [5] - Added nothing to our poor performance.

Nocerino [4.5] - He should never play for us again. A terrible player. He's even more terrible when played at the wing.


Ranieri [1] - Yet another game with Tiago on the bench. Introducing Nocerino for Camo, leaving us with three DM's, was the worst decision I've seen a coach make.

did trezeguet touch the ball more than the referee did?

There was absolutely nothing any of our forwards could have done. The tactics were so poor that we could have easily played with all of our strikers & none would have touched the ball offensively.
PS Trez sucked today but what did you expect?

wow ranieri really knows how to screw this team. he plays eveyone out of position.
Grygera playing at at the left-centre back position? this guy is a natural right back.
Nocerino to replace Camo? Nocerino should NEVER play on the wing. NEVER again!!!!
Palladino is just always out of position aswell.

Juve go up one goal and Ranieri quickly takes off our most creative players to protect the lead. You're not going to protect the lead when you got Nocerino playing a wing position and a Chiellini-less defence...they might as well try to pop in another goal cause there is noway our poor defence is going to hold Fiorentina.

I saw all gruelling 90 mins of the game and all I have to say is we deserved to lose . They were simply the better team of the night . Our defensive incompetence was clearly demostrated with Chiellini's absence , we could create very little chances . We need a LB and a creative midfielder desperately .

Buffon 6.5 - Three goals he could do nothing about , he made a few good saves . Having such a shit defence infront of is not his fault .

Zebina 6 - I liked him today , did little or no mistakes , he controlled the ball well and defended well too .

Legro 4- His bad marking cost us the game , he obviously doesn't get along well with grygera . Despite that , he was assertive and alert the entire game and stopped numerous Fiorentina attacks .

Grygera 4 - I don't think he prevented a Fiorentina attack the whole game , almost seemed scared of touching the ball . Gets confused too easilly .

Molinaro 3 - He was a mess the entire game . After his good cross to Camoranesi which gave us the second goal , he left Papa Waigo unmarked for Fiorentina's second goal . Many blunders and mistakes throughout the entire game , it was inevitable Fiorentina were going to score from one of them .

Sissoko 7.5 - His best game in a Juve shirt so far . Brilliant tackles the whole game , accurate passing , and a class overhead kick .

Zanetti 6 - good marking by him but wasn't effective in his long through balls at all .

Camo 6.5 - Great goal by Camo . He was having an overall quiet game but did what was asked of him .

Palladino 6- He was below average in the first half , better movement in the second half . Overall , an above average performance by him .

Del piero 5.5 - He did what he could , didn't receive support from the midfield , he had to drop back too many times .

Trezeguet 5 - He was nowhere to be seen but it wasn't his fault . No set him up with a chance to score .

Iaquinta 5
Nocerino 5

As much as I love Juventus, I think I won't watch any of our remaining matches this season due to Ranieri's *sarcasm* brilliant *sarcasm* tactics. I just can't afford to get mad every time I watch our team fuck up.

God, every time Ranieri prepares for a sub I die a little inside...

How the hell could he leave Trez on antibiotics in and take Del Piero out? The offense was totally disconnected after that. I must assume that DP was injured or something. Otherwise Ranieri has no business coaching a side like Juventus.
