    we scored 3 goals in 8 minutes , that was the first time i see Juve play short passes instead of long passes.

    Its this kind of mentality that has put on in this position, 14 points ahead of milan to just 3 in a few weeks and you want me to sing the praises. I am just pointing out facts to ya, if you dont like it then thats your problem but i am not jumping on roof tops as this has been a disgusting season as far as i am concerned mailny due to the manager. People are criticising Mourinho but he is 12 points ahead of his nearest challengersand gave them a good hiding yesterday. We on the other hand are having to watch our backs and having fans nervous at playing the likes of Siena, Palermo and Reginna because we have a manger who has fooked up big time. When was the last time you have a juve squad where players are fighting eachother or Camoranesi behaving the way he has this season or Nedved getting 3 red cards in a season? Its very poor management as he has built a squad of infighting, lack of discipline and resentment within the ranks. i am still not sure why Thuram is dropped and why Buffon has pulled up lately at the beginning of matches with mysterious injuries. Something is very wrong

    well u cant say its a disgusting season, thats a bit unfair.. other teams would kill to get this disgusting season we r having.
    Not everyone is jumping over the roof tops not many ppl here and certainly not capello. We still have two games and a scudetto to win so we will leave the big celebrations till then.

    -U cant compare our squad to mourinho's he has the best squad in the world ffs. But same as our capello failed to win the CL. He also got an easier job, as the EPL chasers were some wat inadequate. I certainly like to think that milan r much tougher opposition than the opposition chelsea had this year. The only difference is that we stated out our main target as the CL.

    - the man management was a disappointment this season..and the rotation of the squad was pretty poor as well, thats the two major points on cap..however ppl here r putting everything on his head, and the players are like angels at times.

    Well, RAI International split coverage between this match and Milan-Livorno, so I won't provide my usual ratings having only effectively seen half the match. But here are my observations:

    • [*]Score early, score often
      It sounds obvious, but the major key I saw to us turning the tide on all these ties was drawing first blood. Sooner or later, our finishing luck would return (I think we've had some poor luck in the past several matches as well) -- and in the first eight minutes of this match it looked as if we were making up for lost time. Anything we touched went in.

      I don't take much more confidence in those eight minutes, however. We're just as susceptible to stalling out against Palermo or at Reggina as we have done recently. If Siena scored first, or if we couldn't score until the second half, this would have been a very different match. But it's a good confidence boost to get the scoring-first monkey off our backs.

      [*]Did Capello's medications suddenly wear off?
      It was bizarre watching a match where I pretty much agreed verbatim with Capello's starting lineup. And while the Zebina for Mutu sub was a little odd, I agreed with his other subs. Player rotation -- we need it. Particularly with a nice advantage.

      [*]Unexpected form from unexpected players
      Vieira had an excellent match... seemingly out of the blue, given his season's second half performances. But there were others who had solid games today. Balzaretti looked good in defense and covered the length of the field. Kovac had a very good match.

      And perhaps most surprisingly, what was with Zebina off the bench today? I had to rub my eyes a few times to make sure I wasn't seeing things: a terrific cross to DP that would have been 4-0 if not for a lightning-fast reaction save from Fortin. And some clever dribbling in the box? Who was that guy? It certainly wasn't the Zebina I know.

    So two games and four points to go. It's in the realm of doable. And while you can't say a win at Siena exactly makes us championship-caliber material, getting in the W column was a huge necessity going into this final stretch.

    I only hope that positive reinforcement works on Capello and he doesn't go back on his meds again before the season is out.

    agreed on all points and i had to endure watching the game( or not watching as they didnt put much of the juve game) on rai int.

    although zebina looked good today, but i still think that he isnt up to the standard we need at this team.
    I hope balza stays here next season, and gets more playing time. As i see him with match practice becoming an international soon.

    I still dont know why kovac is starting with over thuram who had a very good game against lazio. I think that thuram is a better choice.

    the trez-alex partnership is certainly the better combination and thats obvious and i hope cap sticks with it. Mutu did well and i think he will keep his place,infront of camo.

    Am I the only one, that wasn't all that impressed with Balzaretti yesterday? He often slowed down our build-up and he was very wild and made some bad decisions. He continuesly had to revert back to his left-leg, which gave time for the Siena players to easily close him down, which usually resulted in Balzaretti sending a blind long ball to the front. I like his attitude and determination, but Balzaretti often exposed us at the back needlessly yesterday.

    No, thanks to good teamwork. Del Piero was average this game, he can play better.

    I wasn't talking about Dp's game and how he performed and I don't believe It was due to a good team work, no doubt there WAS a good team-work, but I believe If Zlatan was going to start ahead of Del Piero we would have been witnessin long balls, right? having Del Piero in the field doesn't allow us to do so, because he and his CO can work well with some fast passes....we've seen what Mutu-Nedved-Zlatan can do on the field and what Mutu-Nedved-Del Piero can do...You must have seen the diff. So, I believe playing a good team-work is due to Dp's presence. and no one can deny that.

    That is due to the tactical changes Capello is making when Ibrahimovic is on the pitch, and not because of the impact of the players on this game. In that sense, yes, thanks to Del Piero Juventus played better than ordinary. Hopefully Juve can play like this against better teams as well.
