We have our 1st match in 2006 and there is another dogfight occurring in the forums again. This is getting really saddening
Vinni may still be very angry about the results and may use some offensive words, but he is 100% right. Maybe I'm content with the performance against against Bayern home game but not this game, but he does have a point. Palermo's team isn't that strong compared ot last season's. The main point in Vinni's,Andy's and denco's argument is that we cannot dominate this Palermo as we should, even after a Christmas break. And TBH I actually expected Juve to do a bit more, but hey 3 points we got and we r smooth sailing.
Remeber Benitez anybody? Just the 1st half in Anfield and the job is done, and the most laughable thing is that Alonso is benched. As Vinni correctly pointed out, we have the tools but we don't have the perfect mechanic for the job. This is very true, especially in Capello's case. Maybe we r used to win with minimum efforts and we always get away with lacklusture performances, this tactic is very useful in the Serie A as the other team don't have the players to stop us, but this move will cost us in the CL, and I'm still surprised that the Liverpool game still didn't reflect on some of u guys. Yes I believe that Capello is a defensive cooach who always go for 4-4-2 and win games, but at times u have to be flexible and make use of every player's abilities.
And Dominic also has a very good point brought up about Capello, yes Capello is a very defensive and cool coach that always bring in the results, and the job is done. He's still a good coach in my eyes, as his tactics are really impressive in the Serie A, however I feel that since he's a coach, sometimes I think that he should be more flexible, especially against big teams. I always like a coach whose tactics always amuse not only me, but the opposition, juz like Mourinho, Benitez and even Hiddink for that matter. It's strange how Juventus has failed to make a comback when we were 3 - 1 down at San Siro compared to teams like PSV, Liverpool and even Parma. The weakness has shown again, and yet Capello doesn't do anything.
About saying the Europe thing, I don't know what is the guy talking about. I have some Liverpool fans in my school and he/they said that Juventus played too patiently in Delle Alpi and their players run round as if they were having a practise session at Anfield. Their comments definitely leave something to desire about.
I wouldn't post my match comments this time round, as it is somewhere between Andy and Dominic which will definitely drift me into a fight again.
1 point to add on, about Milan 4 Parma 3 game, sure some Milanist feel that the results is ok whle some think that the aging defence is definitely a problem, I don't see any problem with any of the comments, but I feel that it is the professionalism that matters, and this is the main culprit for the drop in the standard of this forum due to some lack of professionalism.
Of course to conclude, I don't wish to see any fights to occur, Andy, denco, Vinni, Azzurri7, Jeeks, Dominic and many others, I wish to see more of your match reviews again. swag has been the role model in this forum and is rightfully selected to be a moderator, so everybody should behave professionally and try to limit the use of swear words.
