decent first half, great 2nd half, really took advantage of their tiredness, good to see a juve that scores more than 2 goals
Good first half, shitty first 20 minutes of 2nd half - lucky Iaquinta 'penalty' changed the game. It's good to be back but the score does not really reflect the game.

Decent game, but let's not get carried away. There are a lot areas that need improvement in my opinion. Our defence was again not overly confident.

In midfield we had a great game. Nocerino, Nedved, Almiron and Zanetti were all okay. The way Nedved keeps on playing is incredible. He was our MOM for me and did pretty much everything right. I was disappointed with Nocerino's stupid yellow card. Tiago wasn't looking shabby either.

Not so very much impressed with the attack. Trezeguet did well, Del Piero was rather poor and Iaquinta looked like he got lucky. However, you can't argue with two goals and an assist. It'll give him confidence as well.

The future is bright, people.

iaquinta's goal was funny, he should have gave nedved more credit for that tho and trez last goal is sweet, the second one is a great one too..im glad we didnt sell him

I have seen the match and I`m not impressed
We played good but nothing extordinary
Our defence still sucked and Livorno had another good chance with a free header from Rossina goes wide
Also Iaquinta was pretty good he fought for every ball and did well altough he should fall less and control the ball more the pen wasn`t a pen.
As for Trez he was great at the second half (I haven`t seen the first one...)

Something is missing both attackingly and defensively
Attackingly we will be ok when Camo comes back
Defensively we have to buy a world class defensive leader or we would suffer a lot

Decent performance, flattering result.

Chiellini was our best player imo. Zanetti was good too and Trezeguet was lethal. I was also pleased with what Del Piero did before he was subbed but Ranieri obviously likes Iaquinta. The defence didn't convince me at all today. Both Criscito and Andrade looked shaky at times. Almiron wasn't at his best today and Nedved had his moments but went missing for periods in the game too. Nocerino was rather disappointing and didn't do much to help the cause apart from the late assist for Trez. I'm glad Iaquinta came on and got two goals but I still prefer DP and Palla to him.

All in all it's a great start. The performance could've been better and luck was on our side with the penalty (I don't think it was one) and the deflected goal. There's room for improvement but I'm not asking for much more at this stage.

I disagree about Del Piero's performance, but I don't find Iaquinta-Trezeguet a logical combination. Today it worked, but in the future Palladino should come on for Del Piero. Or perhaps even start Palladino over Del Piero, who's very good at coming off the bench.

in the past under capello.. we stop going for goals after 1-0 or 2-0.. but today.. i saw a diff juve.. very hunger for more goals even 3-0 or 4-0 up...
Yeah that certainly felt good, I also noticed that ranieri was making hand signals to get them pushing forward, a positive juve, but against superior opposition, i think itwill be a different story.. we will proberly concede the same amount.
