. hopefully they will.....
Listen, Manninger did very well. If we had any other 2nd keeper we might have been 7 or 8 pts behind Inter instead of 3pts. But if we had Buffon instead of Manninger we might have been leading the standings right now. So, there is a difference.
I already told you why the importance of Trez would've been big. No need to mention Camoranesi.
We might have squad depth, but sometimes you have only one available player for a certain position and even if he plays awful Ranieri can't replace him simply because we have no other option on the bench. Sometimes, like today, we didn't even have a single player to play in one particular position, because even our boy for every position, Salihamidzic, is injured for a long time already.
I can't believe you downplay the importance of these injuries. As Juve Red told you, imagine Inter without those players and without enough cover on the bench. With time, maybe they'd have found the chemistry and started winning, but for sure there would've been time when they would have lost points due to those injuries. Just look at them with 4-3-3 in CL, even at the start of serie A. It's not simple to change the team every next match, or to change the team so drastically as we were forced to do on many matches.

At the end i want to say that i'm really satisfied how we did in this first part of the season. Even if we didn't have a single injury, 2nd place with only 3 pts behind the leaders was something none of us expected before the season started. Having all these injuries in mind, then our achievement is even greater.
We have the best defense in the league, ladies and gentlemen. The defense that was criticized all this time, conceded less goals in serie A and CL than any other team. We have the best defense in serie A and the best defense in Champions League.
We have the 2nd best attack. One goal less than Inter (damn Ibra and his last minute goal today).
We stand strong in the scudetto race, we won our CL group and it can't get worse than this with the injuries.
Thank you so much Juve for these lovely 5 months and continue even stronger in the next 5 months. I feel something big will happen in May, be it in Italy or Europe.
FORZA JUVE

I am not trying to argue just for the sake of it. (theres a big of irony in my previous comments anyway), i was just very surprised the other day when i saw the poll for Trez and Buffon sell. The truth is that those two are part of the elite here, and i feel that we could look rather dumb if we sell them. I mean Manninger has done ok, but Buffon is the sh-t.
Then people are saying how we could reinforce the defence and buy new players etc etc. I aint too sure our management will make great deals with all that money. We have done some great deals, in Amauri and also Manninger, but the likes of Poulsen..... what have they added?
Thats why in all honesty i dont want to sell neither of those, and maybe instead sell a player here and there who i cant see have a long term future here, in our current situation (like Iaquinta, too many forward players).

In that case i agree.
But just so you'd know, i wasn't comparing defenses name to name, i was talking about collective defending as a unit.
Comparing defenses name to name never works, i mean just look at Real Madrid, if we compare their defense to Juve's name to name, you'd notice Real should be better in all departments in defense, but in reality Juve have proven they have the much more superior defense.

at least 8 of our players were worse than nedved tonight. so why is this anti-molinaro virus now catching nedved too? both nedved and molinaro have played their poor games for juve, but today they were one of the best on the field. i love to read critical reports but sometimes i have the impression that they are written before the match is even played.
tonight marchionni annoyed me. we would have been much better off with either giovinco or de ceglie.

We got a pt out of a difficult away game and managed to close the gap with Inter. Mission accomplished. What sucks is that we played for this result right from the beginning instead of going for a win.
Every1 in midfield was poor. See how deep ADP was dropping? It was further than usual. The only link our forwards had with the rest of the team was through Nedved and Marchionni, and they were both poor, again. I can't wait till Camo get's back, or until Ranieri finally get the sense to play Seba out on the left.
Surprisingly, our makeshift defence was the strongest area of the pitch.

molinaro played a superb defensive game..
nedved was neither good nor bad but we need better when he plays at this level.
Marchionni is a disaster... we need someone to fill his shoes badly... camo is good but also not good enough we need 2 midfielders one to replace nedved and another to replace camo.
camo can be a good sub not a starter anymore...
marchionni should just leave or be a 2nd sub for times of crisis..
