who said that?...a dm is a dm(same jobs)...i know that sissoko involves much more in the recovery of balls in mid but he's gotta pass sometimes too...not only to poulsen so that poulsen can give it further..

he needs to play a monster game tomorrow now especially that momo is out. a 90 minute performance of thsame if not better quality than his first half against lazio wud be fine with the pin point passing & sexy thru balls

he wasn't bad at all tonight, drifted out of the game a bit but came back in. had a solid game with marchisio TBH and didn't look as vulnerable a CM pair some thought they may have been.

maybe the familiarity of playing in 4-3-3 helped?

I thought Tiago did an exceptional Job, he controlled and protected the ball perfectly. Him and Marchisio agaisnt Ballack, Lampard and Essien. Now thats some tough shit.

Tiago: «We must thank the public»

Two days after the match against Chelsea, Tiago, speaking with Juventus Channel, analyse bianconeri’s period: «The disappointment is still there but I think we will soon get over it because we must think of the championship and Bologna. I think the first victory will be the best mnedicine and we will get back to being Juventus».

«We were very good in the group phase but we wre unlucky to be drawn against Chelsea. In these two matches something went missing, maybe a bit of luck but we could see that Chelsea has something more then us at the moment».

«There isn’t much of a difference between italian and english football.. They have coaches, foreigners too, which helped them grow tactically. Besides Champions League matches are something different. Here there is a lot of pressure whilst in England tehy paly for pure fun».

«I think Inter’s elimination is an advantage for us. Even they will be a bit under the weather. Mourinho himself really wanted to go ahead in the Champions League and reach the final and therefore even they will have to recover from the elimination

«My mode of thinking has changed most of all. The first year was a real disater both personally and on a football level. This year I made myself available for the group and the coach, trying to do my best».

«It will be hard against Bologna, we have the match at home and we must thank the public because even though we lost they appaluded us throughout the match. Tuesday they were exceptional and therefore on Saturday night we will have to pay them back witha victory».



forza Tiago

His mentality wise is there too, with more upcoming good and consistent performances like in the Chelsea game, Juventus fans will have more surprises and entertainment to expect

He is doing much better this year...
He definitely deserves one more year to prove himself as a top midfielder...
maybe i'm less forgiving but i don't think he's had anything but a mediocre season thus far

we can give him another year to prove himself but thats only because we won't be able to get rid of him for any value

off game today, one game too many maybe I don't know. As for what dru said, I think tiago has been having a decent season, he was always the player to go unnoticed anyways.

Indeed a game to forget, we know for granted that Tiago can do way much better than that!
I dont know know if that performance was due to fatigue, or just lack of determination, but in any case, i dont want to see him playing like a ballerina (As Alen called it:lol: ) again...
