Well sure, it was "only" Reggina, and they were pretty bad....

But still. Ranieri proved that he could adapt the team between big and small matches with getting good results in both. Plus the confidence he gives to the likes of Criscito, Nocerino, Molinaro and Palla will help them to develop.

I really like what Ranieri is doing to our team!

I read a post on Goal.com that caught my attention. It went something like "Juve fans, enjoy this season while it lasts. It should be a fun season. A top 4 finish is enough so have fun while Inter stresses trying to juggle Serie A and CL."

It's so true, we're playing great football because we started the season knowing that winning the Scudetto is not a must, so the players feel more relaxed and can play some attractive football. Let's enjoy it this season cos next season will be more stressful cos thats when we have to show our muscles in Europe.

The comfort of being underdogs, aye?

If we continue like that, we will start to be title contenders mind you. At a club like Juventus, everyone is focused on just winning. I don't buy the argument that there is no pressure etc...
Imagine if we finish 6th. Would that be ok? no way!

Would be a disaster.

No top 4, but what I mean is that the board have not demanded a Scudetto from Ranieri or he's fired like Mancini and Ancelotti.
Ranieri needs to deliver a top 4 finish but come on thats hell of a lot less pressure than delivering a 1st place finish.

Winning without the likes of Ale, Pavel, Mauro.... is simply perfection.

I know everything is at the begining, but Claudio Ranieri has the balls and I admire him for the way he's working and dealing with players. Keep it up Ranieri:tup:.

Reading Legro's statement really made my day, the man was hated all over, but I kept faith in him, was unlucky 03/04, the man recieved way too many injuries, and now he's back. Forza Legro.


Palladino's goal was pure class. David is David. I noticed from the highlights that Nocerino was full of energy, moving all over.

Zanetti is becoming day by day one of the best players in his position in Serie A, yes you're reading that right:agree:


Thanks for the reports everyone.
I really admire this guy.
I like the fact that no one in Italy or outside Italy could predict our formation.
I like the fact that he knows the potential of his players & doesnt have BLIND trust in them.

I am afraid he is not a trophy Winner but I hope that we can change this.
Forza Claudio Ranieri

changing the formation all the way is very negative and that means he still doesnt find the best one yet.
inter's mancini has started to win when he finally started to fix a 4-4-2 formation with a known strarting line-up for all the impotant matches.

I don't know about anyone who has ever dissed Zanetti here. :confused: He only gets praises, and rightfully so, I might add.

By then, we will hopefully find a better back line, Some of the guys we have would prove that he's Nedved's replacement (Or get someone new for that), And find the exact right formula upfront.

On another tone, in our first year back in CL, We will not ask for the trophy right away. Right exactly what's going on now in serie A .. We'd probably focus on the league and just guarantee that we won't get knocked out in the group stages .. and give our new squad a taste of how it feels to be in the top of the world, to increase their hunger and experience :) ..

We'll just keep cruising until it's time to crush everyone around like we used to do :) .. and that season I'd expect to be 2010 .. where we have a double, hopefully, or a close one :) ..

Zanetti is a hard working midfielder that offers superb defensive care as well as offensive....good tackling good passing and reasonable creativity combined with good technique. What he is lacking is a cannon in his feet,but then,all would be perfect,he would be a superstar and he wouldn't be in Juventus :)
