Cordoba is still fast...

It wasn't a game for Iaquinta, the areas the ball came into suited Amauri more.

His movement was good, the best in the team as Suns pointed out. But still, his first touch was terrible and his intelligence on the ball appalling. Lost way too many balls too easily.

Poor game from him. Should be the fourth choice FW really.

 

[Suns]

slow as fuck is a bit of an exaggeration. i'd say he's our fastest striker.

Now thats a speedy bunch.

Juve lost control of the game once Iaquinta went off.

As poor as he was, Inter were still concerned about him running in behind.

Without that threat in behind, Inter were willing to press the ball higher up the pitch and it became much harder for Juve to find space.

yeah i know what you mean.. but still its what Juve have to work with.

Iaquinta is slow? The only reason he's a professional footballer is because of his size and speed.

As bad as he was (which he was) I was concerned about him being taken out. There was no one to run through the defense as you pointed out.

That is true. Iaquinta's movement caused Inter a lot of problems, but it didn't mean that much, because he kept losing the ball with his terrible first touch. I thought bringing in Del Piero wasn't such a good idea though. A DP - Quag partnership against the likes of Chivu and Lucio isn't such a good idea. Neither one of them provides a physical presence, neither one of them makes runs in behind the defense, both want the ball at their feet.

Also, Juve were playing on the counter, i felt DP slowed that down. He wasn't suited for the game Juve were playing today.

Iaq wasn't bad tonight. He was a laughingstock at a few occasions but he wasn't bad. He always knows how to runs through the opponent's defense putting himself in good positions.

The only problem was that he was caught offside almost all the time. If only he had used his brains a little bit or concentrated a bit more...

 

[Fred]

and whenever he'd get the ball he'd just lose it. His movement doesn't make it a good game for him. He was quite poor imo.

His acceleration is slow as hell but once he gets going he has a great mix of power and speed.

 

[Zlatan]

Our forward line is really bland this year.

 

[.zero]

He killed all of our attacks today

Krasic gave him a gift across the face of goal and all he had to do was get a foot on it but he didn't even do that.

I miss David

 

[blondu]

oh jackie jackie, one day i'm gonna throw a glass of beer in the tv because of you...

 

[swag]

A forward's job isn't just scoring goals, of course. But I've had it with the Amauri-like reviews of,"Oh, he worked really hard and just didn't score" and we lose. F*$% that noise.

Not that Iaq has to score every time, but the first rule should be do no harm -- i.e., if you cannot convert on our scoring chances, the least you can do is simply do not screw them up for everyone else. At that he failed miserably today.

 

[DelpieroForLife]

Below average.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

He wasn't really good, but he was dangerous. He's annoying with his decision making and his disillusions that he has skill but I was disappointed that he came off as really did put their defence under pressure.

 

[X Æ A-12]

With his pace and height he draws defenders and forces them to be mindful of him. That was his only contribution tonight.
