True, and I feel the experienced lads, DP, Nedved, Birindelli and Camo and Trez when they're back will be crucial in helping the new guys to gel together.
I urge you all Juve fans not to expect an instant success here. It's going to be a bumpy road, we'll have to persevere, but I think eventually the team will gain momentum. Afterall from the early signs it's not like they're a hopeless bunch.
Criscito, Grygera, Andrade, Salihamidzic, Tiago, Nocerino, Molinaro, Almiron, Iaquinta.......all these guys are playing together for the first time, so we have to be patient as they're going to be put to the real test when it comes to competitive Serie A action.
The positive I saw tonight (the first half at least) was the creative spirit and attacking play.
Pippo's 2nd half goal, needless today simply killed it for us. Nedved tried his best, but unfortunately was unable to hit the target. Dida also made an awesome save for a splendid shot by Tiago (I think?).
Those two were probably our best chances for a comeback.
Let's bring on Livorno. :strong:

Chill man , it was just a friendly . Berlusconi cup ? seriously , the only cup that can be more worthless is "moratti" cup .
I keep asking myself "what the fuck did I just watch?"
What I saw is a Juve without ideas on offense, who were more than happy to chase Milan around the pitch as they passed around us, and a team that obviously cannot perform simple passes
Our offense rarely tested Dida...bar Tiago's shot at the end of the game. Where were the shots on net ? Where was any accurate passing in Milan's side of the field ? Were our outside mid's wearing slippers, because they couldn't cross the ball for shit !! Its been 3 damn games since we scored a goal...we have problems !!
Defensively, we again made some mistakes in marking that led to goals. Is Criscito the real deal...I dont know. But Molinaro isn't, and Andrade hasn't proven anything yet.
The whole team disappointed me except for Grygera. He should be our starter at RB, IMO
I know the excuse train will ride again with Ranieri as the engineer, but the season starts in 8 days, and we are not ready...hell no !!! The excuses have to end here !!
Our objective is to reach a CL spot, but does anyone here actually believe that our team is better than Lazio or Fiorentina...because that's who will be fighting for the last CL spot
At this point, I believe that even Palermo is better than our team, and a 8th place to 10th place finish is realistic for us
I have zero faith in Ranieri, and even less with this management...and this preseason proves it

i agree mate! this is the end of taking things lightly!!! the performances HAVE to start from now on! these games have been enough to give the players enough time to know each other well. ranieri has to sit down and completely fix the problems in the coming week! we cannot rely on Iaquinta, ffs! DP n trez to start a usual and palla and zala for a subs. marchionni and camo need to resume playing ASAP! and we all know what the defence need to do!
well, upfront today we missed the cutting edge finih which i'm sure you would agree with. but thats trez, hes the one who doesnt do the build up but the finishing move, so its likely that there would be less tests, as the player than DP and nedved were looking for wasnt there. our defence, we are missing chiellini a key player for us. camo in the midfield a creative player who gives us width and creativity. in term of play today, i think many would agree with me in saying that we created a lot of chances but just becasue there ws no shot, doesnt mean we didnt ctreate anything.
