Great Match! Everything was crystal clear and the tactics worked in an immense fashion. The defense lofted long balls up to the strikers as planned, the midfield gave the ball away, and the strikers were left stranded by the glorious lack of service Juventus is accustomed to. There was no need for substitutions because Pavel Nedved runs 36 times a day on Christmas, so he was doing fine out there losing the ball like the rest of the midfield. Poulsen and Sissoko had a stranglehold over the statistics, especially the integer not shown on the completed passes part; no idea why they don't show such a statistic because it really compliments our squad. The less passes we complete, the more we will fool the opposition into being a good team, thus making them more scared of us.

Ranieri did well in keeping Giovinco on the bench because it would have been too much of a risk to create chances for our strikers, as they are more familiar with horrible service. If they would see the ball more, they would be a detriment to our defense because we need 9 players behind the ball at all times to achieve the goal of drawing against mid-table teams. The lack of fluidity in our passing game is an asset to the club because it reaffirms our quest in receiving a point against comparable sides to Juventus, like Sampforia. If we can't complete passes, the whole team will be more secure because they'll fall back and defend much more quickly. The best way to secure the point is to let Molinaro kick the ball out of bounds instead of putting it on the head of Amauri, as that way we won't be susceptible to any counter attack.

I think everything worked according to plan and Ranieri should be praised. Horrible passing, inept team chemistry, lack of substitutions, et cetera are key to stealing points from clubs like Sampdoria. If we play the same way all season, we will be in good shape for winning Serie B.

Manninger - Did horribly in not booting the ball further up the pitch. 10

Grygera - Should have played the ball out of bounds more.10

Mellberg - Fantastic. Played enough useless long balls up to the forwards. 10

Chiellini - Amazing. 10

Molinaro - Did a fantastic job of securing the draw by kicking the ball out of play instead of crossing it. 10

Camoranesi - Loved the way he was completely useless. 10

Sissoko - Did a great job not keeping possession and losing the ball. That way we can secure the draw. 10

Poulsen - WOW! What more could I ask of him? AMAZING display of horrible passing. Giving the ball away like he did should be the standard of all Juventus players. The only person who could do a better job than Poulsen is Blasi, but unfortunately we gave him away. Poulsen still does a great job ruining attacking forays though. 10

Nedved - The epitome of sound wing play. He only gave the ball away in the opposition's half, and also ran hard back in position. This man should start until he's 45. 10

Amauri - Did well to not receive the ball. 10

Del Piero - Fantastic display of not doing anything. 10

Iaquinta - Completely useless and I love it! 10

Giovinco - Glad to see us not risk the draw by keeping him on the bench. 10

Ranieri - AMAZING MANAGER. Did great to secure the points as someone who manages a mid-table side. 10

I don't have the words to describe the match nor how I am feeling.

Fast ratings and comments.

Manninger 6.5 Did his job to keep the ball out
Grygera 5 Added nothing to the team
Mellberg 6 Our best defender today
Chiellini 4 Horrible mistakes that could have cost us the match
Molinaro 4.5 Molinaro
Camoranesi 3 He didn't play
Sissoko 5 Bad
Poulsen 4 Ugly
Nedved 4 Also ugly
Amauri 5 Can't be a hero every day
Del Piero 5 Same as Amauri

Iaquinta No need to rate him

Ranieri 1 Bad starting lineup and only one sub is not acceptable. Not preparing for the game is not acceptable either and not caring about the performance and the result is just ugly and disgusting.
also made some mistakes imho...

    Manninger 6 not much to do

    Grygera 5 Was not his day, didn't do anything impressive tonight
    Chiellini 4.5 One of our worst players
    Mellberg 6.5 Decent and solid
    Molinaro 5 Rubbish in the first half, a bit better in the 2nd, a bit

    Poulsen 4 Terrible in every single aspect, did nothing at all
    Sissoko 6 Bad in his 1st half, decent in the 2nd, but still not that good
    Camoranesi 3.5 Probably the worst performance of the year. phew.
    Nedved 5 improved a bit in the 2nd half, but still not good at all

    Del Piero 5.5 Terrible 2nd half, good thing he was subs
    Amauri 5 did nothing at all, but can't blame him much, no services

    I thought that Donadoni was quite poor and his tactics was very primitive, but now I see that Donadoni can still be considered as average coach looking at Ranieri's working and I'm not surprised that he is 70 already and he haven't got even a trophy in his career while he was coachin great teams with great finances

    Mourinho was absolutely right in his statements about Ranieri

    Yeah your right man!! With the best manager and wingback in the world were going to win the CL for the next 3 years on the trot until ranieri's contract runs out.

    The guy is born to win, success follows him everywhere, i am really worried about what will happen to us if he ever leaves....

    WE LOVE YOU RANIERI!!!!!!!!!!!

    Really guys, relax. I'm not here to defend Ranieri or the piss-poor display by the entire team this evening, but there are thirty-three games left this season. It's the beginning of the season and everyone's still trying to find their groove. Milan lost two games off the get-go, Roma's dropping points, and I'm sure tomorrow's fixtures will raise eyebrows.

    And just to clarify things, I'm not an optimist by any means. Crack a smile, girls and boys.
