Sorry can't give a full match report but just try imagining we attacking at will, wasting 70% of the chances & still scoring 4 goals without DP, Neddy, Chiellini & Grygera. add to that Buffon subbed & Legro scored. :agree: We owned them out there.
Buffon subbed? Sounds nice to me. I'm glad Legro scored, this will give him some confidence for the up-coming games.

Good to know we did all that having some of our star players on the bench.

Palladino, MOTM, even without the goal. He was on the end of numerous plays that we almost scored on (we did on 1, but ref wrongly called it back).

Our ball and player movement was the best Ive seen all season. Every1 worked hard.

Tiago played very well, and Zanetti put in another solid performance. Nocerino hustled hard, and although a few of his crosses were off, he still made a nice assist, and showed some good skill.

Brazzo worked hard, and stretched their defence by making some good runs.

Defensively, although we werent tested much, they didn't make any mistakes, unlike our previous matches. Criscito made a few key interceptions, and defensively, I would say he was our best player at the back, although they all played well.

Palladino and Tiago should definitely be in the lineup this weekend.

Juventus 4 - 0 Reggina

Juventus comfortably hammered Reggina 4-0 despite resting several players, but there was an injury scare for Gianluigi Buffon.

Claudio Ranieri's team was boosted by a late 2-2 draw at leaders Roma over the weekend, even if Alessandro Del Piero had his confidence dented by a penalty miss. Problems piled up, as Jonathan Zebina continued his ban with Jorge Andrade, Marco Marchionni, Sergio Almiron and Mauro Camoranesi injured. Carlos Valdez was suspended for Reggina, but former Juventus striker Nicola Amoruso was eager to face his old club.

The Amaranto had never won in Turin, earning only one point with a 1-1 draw in August 1999. Before kick-off, David Trezeguet was presented with a special '100' shirt to celebrate his Century of Serie A goals.

In the opening three minutes Nicola Campagnolo had to parry a Trezeguet effort from point-blank range and Domenico Criscito was unable to turn in the loose ball. Enigma Tiago Mendes was positioned behind the forwards and set up an opportunity for Raffaele Palladino, while Antonio Nocerino flicked up and shot with his right foot, turned wide at the near post.

There was controversy on 26 minutes, as Trezeguet had his 101st Serie A goal incorrectly disallowed for offside. Campagnolo stuck out a strong hand to deny Trezeguet, who was set up by Palladino's headed assist.

On 41 minutes the Reggina goalkeeper again proved decisive by pushing Trezeguet's header out of the top corner.

Campagnaro was finally beaten straight after the restart, as a corner kick found defender Nicola Legrottaglie's tap-in from close range.

Moments later Hasan Salihamidzic's strike was turned out for a corner and from that set-piece Salihamidzic was able to get his glory from six yards.

Trezeguet finally got his 101st Serie A goal and dedicated it to his mother in the stands. The referee let the advantage go and Trezeguet placed a low drive under the goalkeeper.

There was a worrying sign for Juventus, though, as 10 minutes from time Gianluigi Buffon went off touching his knee.

The rest of the team had no such problems, as Palladino sprung the offside trap for a cool finish and Juve's fourth goal.
