HE TRIES SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HARD!
Tiago doesn't try at all, which makes him worse by definition.

serious? He was fairly consistent through out the season and had an awesome game where he scored once and made an awesome pass to trez who scored off it. So thats an example of how good he can be. But through out the season he didn't do too badly.
Molinaro! Everytime the ball comes to him i shit my pants...he's so clumsy in defence, its really very traumatic for me and probably most Juventini
Ummm... yeah, Grygera was consistantly BAD. The only good match of his was against Genoa, when he did something useful. Other than that he was either average or BAD.

What did Molinaro offer in attack? His shitty passes or even shittier crosses? Or the completely-out-of-his-mind forward runs, which were a guaranteed loss of the ball? Excuse me, but I'd rather take the "ghost", who had at least one good through pass every match he played in.

And why don't you apply your last sentence on Molinaro?
What are you talking about? His forward runs are OK, he almost every time manages to pass a player and gets himself in a good situation. His crossing and passing lets him down most of the time but he still doesn't look as bad as that worthless thug Tiago, who offered absolutely nothing. He was consistantly ran over in midfield, losing the balls away, misplaced passes. The epitome of uselessness.

Sure as hell. By the way, Molinaro also runs very much, he sometimes runs like a headless chicken but at least he covers spaces and helps his team-mates. Tiago doesn't do any of that. Utter disgrace of a Juventus player.

No, Molinaro runs forward and creates spaces for the opposition forwards and wingers.

Btw. both Nocerino and Tiago had more assists and shots on goal (both absolute and %) compared to Molinaro, who played much more.

But yeah, I have to agree, that Molinaro was definitely trying harder than Tiago, one can't really argue about that. But I still think that despite Molinaro's effort, he was a worse player this season.

You can be seriously consider any other Juve player to grab him this title.
Molinaro has done more than enough to earn that!

Apart from the fact that his the most useless player that has worn a Juve jersey in the last decade!
The most ugly thing is, that we were forced to play him for an entire season, because we had absolutely no other option left!
Make no mistake, that was the only reason Molinaro played so many matches, not his 3-5 half-decent performances through the season!
Chiellini was supposed to be our main LB and because he is young & healthy enough, Molinaro was supposed to play only 5-6 unimportant games, in the entire season.
Andrade's injury and Totti's ownage on Criscito made Molinaro's carrier, indirectly.

I cant remember such a bad player to have so many chances to prove himself in Juve, over the last decade. Molinaro was very lucky to play in a team without any other LBs and he was damn lucky not to get injured at all.
He was also very lucky to play in a position we could barely afford to have a half crippled player and he was extremely lucky to have players like; Nedved, Chiellini and Zanetti to make up for his mistakes and shortcomings.
This allowed him to become a mere shadow and adopt mostly an observatory role in our team! This is how he managed to make minimum mistakes, by taking the minimum risks!
For the very few times, he got to involve in our play, he always had horrible contributions, which is only normal since he is a "football player" that he cant, dribble, he cant cross, he cant control the ball, he cant tackle, he cant clear the ball, he cant head it, he is absolutely useless, he is as good as crippled man, when he has the ball on his feet.
The only thing he is good at, is escorting an enemy forward or winger to our box, so that Chiellini can clear the ball, lately he also learned to let the ball coming from Buffon, near Neddy's vicinity without an attempt to intercept her...

How can anyone compare this "individual", to any other football player we have???
The rest of our team consists of football players, some of them are top class, some are, professional players and some are young/aging football players that cant cope yet/anymore with our top class team requirements.
Molinaro shouldnt even be considered an amateur football player, i would suggest him to start another sport before it is too late!

Tiago and Nocerino are different cases, Tiago was probably too weak atm, his physical condition was v.bad when he arrived, we knew that a player without games on his feet, cant start helping us from the beginning of the season, this and the tactical decisions made by CR let no space for Tiago to show his worth.
Yes. The expectations on Tiago were different but he is a man that didnt have the change to prove his value here and he didnt have the chance to harm our team either. The very few times he played, he proved that he is skilled enough to labeled as a professional footballer, but he just doesnt fit our current plans.

Nocerino was the reason Tiago had no chance as a starter, both tactically and quality wise. Noce was in a great form and physical condition.
In our flat 4-4-2, we needed a powerhouse to stop the creative efforts of the opposition AMFs and provide some extra cover to our extremely vulnerable defense in an expense of our creativity. Noce fits the bill, tactically-wise perfectly!!
But unlike Molinaro
-his position on the field required more involvement to our play, making his role far more important
-he was used in places that he was tactically inept to help, ex as an RM
-he had to face tight competition to keep his place, against 3-4 veterans and the coach's favorite transfer target, Sissoko.

These are the reasons we cant compare Nocerino's campaign with Molinaro's !

Nocerino earned his starting place on the field, with his performances,
when Molinaro was gifted his place because we had absolutely no other solution left.

Nocerino held his place with his constant performances, whilst we were forced to keep using Molinaro, no matter how much he sucked, week in week out...

Nocerino was asked to deliver offensively, adapting to a different tactical role, which doesnt represents his personal style and skills, where a DM is not supposed to do that, it is not his fault he couldnt deliver in positions like AMF and RM.
It is not his fault we hadnt any creative CMs in our team!
Whilst Molinaro was only used in his favorite position and he couldnt cope at absolutely any aspect of this position's requirements. Fullbacks are supposed to make runs and decent crosses, he is totally useless upfront and on the top of that, he is absolutely useless defensive wise too!!
At least Noce was able to own everyone defensively in his good days...

And finally Noce didnt have the mental stability that Molinaro savored,
Noce came as a 4th choice sub and despite his best performances he felt, that we dont trust him as a starter. Just think of it, he came in as the 4th choice and proved on the field he is worthy of more, he was his fight and he won! CR gave the same oportunites and more to Almiron and Tiago, but Nocerino was the proved to be the one with the better performances. Molinaro never did such a thing!
Nocerino knew that players like Tiago and Almiron that cost a fortune, would step in at any moment to steal his starter place. The pressure from the press and the fans to use them was immense. Part of our managers, like the retard Secco would surely his transfer to be proved more useful than Nocerino.
Remember that CR never stopped praising Tiago's efforts in the training field,
while the very same CR always tinkered around our midfield composition, trying to find a formula to solve our creative problems without changing this saint formation blessed by the great Capello himself.
These efforts were focused against Nocerino's tactical characteristics.
And yet!!! Nocerino somehow managed to cope, and become an impressive and dominant figure on the field. This is something that Molinaro didnt and he wouldnt endure, not even for half a day.
It is a disgrace to compare the two of them!!!!

Nocerino actually lost it, when we brought in his expensive replacement, called Sissoko!!
I said it then and i ll repeat it now, this transfer wasnt wise that particular time and it will end Nocerino's carrier. It was CR's decision and Noce, a player heavily influenced by his morale couldnt adjust to his new second choice role, he lost his determination and this really showed on the field, he was not the same Nocerino anymore. A similar thing happened to Balzaretti with DD's favor on Chiellini.
Wes should have brought a Molinaro replacement instead, but our noob managers are too clueless to efficiently run this club!!

Molinaro had all the right conditions to flourish, he wasnt threatened, he had the time to adapt with the teams flow, to learn our game, the players, our system, our alternative systems, everything but he still failed to make an impact!!
You can see the prove against great teams, when every detail is magnified,
we look like playing with 10 players, every half decent right winger will run rampage from our left flank, even the CMs drift to this side because they find no resistance. As for his attacking work, it is not only absent, it is negative, he does not only offer nothing to our team but he also ruins the few attacking chances we get to have, not to mention his crosses...
Molinaro showed us the maximum we can get from him, a leech, that can only play carefully enough to avoid any involvement with our game, when he is forced to participate in the game, he fvcks up. I really hope that i will never see such a bad player wear Juve;s jersey.

Nocerino showed that he is a lion that doesnt afraid to put his hands, his legs and his heart on the fire when he is rightfully motivated.
His skills might be limited, but he can at least, do his defensive work good enough and to stop almost any serie A midfielder. I hope him all the best to a Sicilian team.

Tiago proved to be too weak for serie A, both mentally and physically, i hope him all the best to another team...

I can create a poll to see how many will read it. Hell I can even bet money on it.
Cronios is an intelligent poster, and you know he puts effort into his posts, but c'mon what was he thinking?

Looks more like Cronios decided to write his PhD thesis on Molianro :D

No offense To Cronios of course, your posts are god to read (despite your Pessimist mentality) but these long essays are horrible on the eyes!
