OP
Montero had a catastriphic season, an is guilty of tackling too violent, but he is a good defender and is very important for the team, because he coordinates the defensive movements in the field.From all Juve defenders, he has the lesser average of goals received while in the field.
Last two years, Iuliano has become perfect useless.Havent seen a good game from him long ago....

This is a disastrous season indeed but why are you all surprised! This has been coming all along. All departments have their share of the blame.
Juventus
Have you ever asked yourself why it is so hard for players to adapt to Juventus style of play?
Henry – Non-starter
Baiocco - Non-starter
Fresi – Non-starter
Nedved – Took 1 year
Thuram – Took 1 year
Camo – Hot/Cold
Di Vaio – Hot/Cold
Management
Moggi and Co. have always done well in the market but once in a while the ‘best’ deals turn sour. IMHO our downfall started in 2001 when Zidane left for Real Madrid. Most people noted that we had become dependent on one player & the system should be changed. We acquired Nedved who had a torrid 1st season then we reverted back to 1 player dependency … some solution. The management’s mistake here was the glaring fact that our depth was lacking. We scraped through a couple of years with a measly squad & because we produced the goods (Serie A titles & a final to the CL) the management thought we were ok. So 60% of the blame lies here.
Medical Staff
I can’t help but lay some blame here, as I don’t understand why we should have so many injuries. For the past 2 seasons our injury worries have increased dramatically! Why? 20% goes here.
Coach
Lippi has been good for us. But when things go wrong he seems at a loss. Lippi is never afraid to use any tactic but sadly the numerous injuries & total loss of form for some players have made his job harder. 10% goes here.
Players
Look at our complete team then you will realise that Lippi has done a great job. Most of the squad is either too old or trying to settle in. Confidence levels are at an all time low. 10% of the blame lies here coz most of these players are average & have over achieved anyway.
Goalies
Buffon – Has had a bad season by his standards. Performing at 40%.
Chimenti – He is past it.
Merante – Has he ever played?
Defenders
Ferrara – He’s done his time & been brilliant.
Montero – He’s done his time but age has not been graceful to him.
Tudor – No comment. Always injured.
Pessotto – Average defender. Done his time.
Iuliano – I must say that he has never impressed me.
Birindelli – Ditto Pessotto.
Thuram – Admittedly had a bad season.
Legrotaglie – Still unsettled.
Midfielders
Tacchinardi – I have always questioned his ability. He looks exposed!
Conte – Done his time.
Nedved – Seriously off form.
Camoranesi – Should have been used more often coz I think he has been ok.
Appiah – Still unsettled.
Zambrotta – Been transformed to our best defender. What gives at the midfield?
Maresca – Slowly becoming a favourite of many but why did he go Nationwide if he can’t finish a game?
Forwards
Miccoli – Underused.
Del Piero – The great enigma. Spending too much time injured.
Trezeguet – Being an all out striker what did you expect him to do with such mediocre service?
Di Vaio – Lost his confidence completely.
Now tell me what did you expect from such a team?

As said previous, great post, Ali. Some thoughts...
Fully agreed that the management need to take most of the blame on this one.
I wonder how much this might be the result of age, in general. A decent medical staff is like insurance for the most expensive assets the club has. It's foolhardy to skimp there when you're paying these kinds of salaries. So could there be something due to the age factor -- and the time of recovery that results?
