Really another pathetic match. I do not even know which match is worse, this one or the half-ass display against Sampdoria at the Delle Alpi. Again I witness another performance where our players have no ideas in attack, nobody playing in the same wavelength as each other, and absolute half-ass displays by most of our players. At one instant during the match I saw Zambrotta on the left side of the pitch just outside of the opposition box with two defenders covering him, albeit while nobody else was showing for the ball, nobody else moving into a support position. So Zambrotta is all alone out there trying to take on two defenders while Zlatan and Trezeguet stand in the box and Emerson practically standing motionless on the top of the 18. How are we supposed to win games when nobody is moving and working for each other? I do not know if I have ever seen such a Juventus team this lousy and unmotivated in attack with nobody playing in tone with each other. This is something we must fix because quite frankly it's embarrasing and will hardly get wins for us. So the attack once again was piss poor.
Moreover, Capello should have just left Blasi on the bench and brought on somebody who can do something in attack, like Del Piero. I do not know how Capello is going to fix this problem, but he better because our team is in disaray. And for those who say Nedved and Camoranesi are not that important to the team anymore are obviously wrong, because once again we struggled to make any sort of chances on goal. Hell the closest we came to scoring was with the help of Palermo Captain Corini; that is just friggin pathetic. We desperately need Nedved back.
Buffon is making me question whether or not he is the best keeper in the world anymore. He was at fault for the goal, punching the cross out to an open Brienza to fire away the game for Palermo. Right now Petr Cech is the best keeper in the world.
Zebina at least gives us an attacking presence on the right in some way, however his defensive skills are lacking.
Thuram was rather poor tonight and does not seem to be with it always. He did not have a bad game however he made some mistakes that could have cost us.
Cannavaro saved our asses many times during the match, especially a few nice saving takles on Toni and Santana. Thank God we have this man in our defense.
Birindelli is just not Juventus quality anymore. He made some mistakes in defense and also gave the ball away too many times. He was good in attack but now he is poor. However he should be taking the freekicks because thats the only thing he can really add to the team.
Olivera should not be taking the freekicks, seriously. I do not know what got into him tonight, and I can tell you he will not be doing much of that nonsense again. Apart from that Olivera was running and making some good passing plays. But its still not good enough.
Emerson was once again not very inspirational in midfield, and apart from some good tackles and easy passes he did not do much. We need more.
Tacchinardi did very little if anything at all. I do not remember him doing anything in attack, so we need to find a partner for Emerson who can actually make sense with the ball.
Zambrotta was extremely poor tonight. He was playing midfield, and making some good runs up the wing, however his passes were ugly at best. His crosses were just as terrible. What ever happened to that Zambro who was one of the best wingers in the world? Lately he has been very poor and that is not good for us.
Trezeguet did absolutely nothing once again and when there is no service at all this is to be expected.
Ibrahimovic made very few chances and his passing was very poor once again. However the service from the midfield was completely nonexistent. Both forwards need to move more than what they have been doing.
Zalayeta? Nothing. Get rid of him.
Blasi should have stayed on the bench for Del Piero.
Scary thing is I do not see us changing our mentality and style of play one bit. Capello is set on this system and he has to make the team work in attack. Something needs to be done because if we lose the next match the Scudetto is officially gone people.
