    When I used to play as a child Nicole, I was a defender, and Goddy Izilien (one of the best talent scouts in Nigeria) used to say this:

    As a defender, better to kick the ball anywhere than let the attacker get it and score.

    Of course if the defender is being pressurived then of course, but I talking about when Juve were going to attack, all they were doing was playing "long-balls" up the field, totally cutting out Juve's best part (midfield)

    I would, frankly so what if your team had injured players? You have...Buffon...Pessoto?...Canna...Thuram...Zambrotta...Camoraneo...Blasi...???...Nedved...Del Piero/Oliviera...Zaleyeta (he played 90 mins :eek: )

    And your saying that, that team could give a better performance then that??? It was absolutely crap, there was nothing in that game that suggest Juve deserve to be the Serie A champs...

    Canna and Thuram are meant to be world-class, yet all they ever do is kick a ball long? So, does that mean when they leave Juve just before they retire they are going to play for the "long-ball" specialists Bolton???

    Cannavaro and Thuram do what they are supposed to do maginificently. What do you wnt, for them to dribble half the field and score from 40 meters? :rolleyes:

    They defend, thats their job. If the midfield actually opened up and some players actually moved a bit to get the ball maybe they wouldnt have to send those long balls up.

    No, but I expect them to at least have the ability to take a ball to the half-way line, like most top-class centre-backs, Nesta, Terry, Ferdinand, Samuel, Lucio all these players can...now maybe it is Capello's tactics (wouldnt surprise me), but I dont know, so all I can say from what I have seen they cant, thus meaning that they are in my opinion overrated.
