It looks like 4 games suspension plus fine for Zebina.
40 games would have been better however he still will be missing Romolini and Mulita. |
||||
| gurjio |
Yeah but he will be available against La Viola, although hopefully he wont even be on the bench. | ||||
| Liam |
Zebina's 4 match ban is a boost, but I wish it was longer. I remember saying after the Arsenal Champions League tie in 2006 that I hoped Zebina and Camoranesi had played their last games for Juventus, and in Zebina's case I'm still hoping, as atleast Camoranesi has some ability to go with his idiocy. Ranieri would be better off plucking a teenager out of the Primavera side than selecting Zebina again. | ||||
| Dylan |
Liam whatever we think of Camoranesi or , perhaps, that was written about Camoranesi the guy is the 'classiest' act at Juventus at present. When he is on song we are a different team. | ||||
| juveboy |
My sentiments exactly. |
||||
| Juvefans |
4 match ban is good and he's going to be punished by the club as well so hopefully that will involve being dropped from the team permanently! | ||||
| Drughi |
Ivanovic scored last night for Serbia in Portugal...he played great...Russians said he wasnt on sale but he already started to take classes of Italiano...
My info from Spain also says that Garay from Santander is most talented defender in La Liga... We would bring younger players...it is time to start new turn of domination in Italian football... Brother, I dont know if you read it...but Olimpico is sold out...17000 seasonal are gone, 2500 will go to traveling fans and club decided to keep 3000 tickets for game day... We sold more than rats from our city...and if we would have our stadium I guarantee that at least 30 000 tickets would be sold in preseason... It is improvement I think... |
||||
| Liam |
Dylan, that's pretty much what I was trying to say. Camoranesi's stupidity is forgiveable as he atleast has a positive effect on the team. I currently don't have a problem with him. I probably should have worded that post slightly better. |
||||
| rossi82 |
Camo is doing great. Marchioni once back will give us more speed and depth behind the strikers.
I am worried about Alex though...at this stage i think he should focus on Juve only... |
||||
| Drughi |
Very much my opinion about capitano...really smart thinking my friend.
It is clear that Ale needs to focus only on Juve. I know he is dreaming about playing at EURO next summer but honestly I dont think Donadoni merda will give him chance anymore. It is ugly to see legend like him being at stands... He played bad vs France and it is fact, but other players were also awful...so it is stupid to try buiding authority on him, like Capello did... And why they are doing it ? Because Ale is person that thinks firstly about team and dont want to do anything to ruin team chances or to make things even worse... So when someone is real professional like our captain, it is easy for some merda to send him on the bench or to stands... Remember that Zingaro from Sweden playing last season with us...he was awful but didnt manage to stop us taking title. Remember whole stadium laughed at him...and coach didnt want to send him onthe bench just because he would create caos in media and locker room... Maybe it is not good to be such nice man like capitano, but still even he isnt best player in our history, he is most loved by fans, not only in Italy but in whole world... Of course I exclude our Gai Scirea but he is in heaven and cant be compared from many reasons... So Ale is great guy, he would retire from national team and concetrate on last few seasons, taking few more titles and then become presidente or gm. |

Juventus (442)
1 Buffon, 2 Birindelli, 14 Andrade, 19 Criscito, 3 Chiellini; 8 Camoranesi, 4 Almiron, 6 Zanetti, 11 Nedved; 9 Iaquinta, 17 Trezeguet. (12 Belardi, 33 Legrottaglie, 28 Molinaro, 7 Salihamidzic, 23 Nocerino, 20 Palladino, 10 Del Piero) Liam about Camoranesi I was telling myself as much. Rossi agreed on Pierino. Fratello as I understand the Bovini-Mulita now have striped kit, can't wait to see it 
As always they live for derby day, they are already foaming at the mouth. Sad, very sad. |
||||
| Duncan! |
C'mon drughi, ADP is a great guy and everything I agree, but he is not up to the Azzurri anymore. Donadoni was right in sitting him for the Ukraine game. especiallyas seeing as Di Natale had a brace.
Il Capitano should concentrate on Juve right now. As for the Totti comments, I could say things like totti is better, etc...., but we have been down that road TOO MANY times. {Although even Lippi played Totti when he had the pick of the two.  ]
|
||||
| Dylan |
Drughi what do yopu mean last few seasons? This is it! Then lets try Giovinco and spend some cash. If we get C. L eague.
Pierino can't pass the man anymore, he will invent a free kick, an intelligent player he will make things happen, he will find 3zeguet head from corners but that is not for 90'. Time waits for no one.... Loyal to Juventus but can anybody remember a 'serious' offer from a major club for Pierino? |
||||
| Raj! |
Hello Chaps!
I was going to say somethings never change.... Juve back in Serie A... Juve back on Top of Serie A.... 
...but then I see this move... nice place by the way.... so how did this all come about??? |
||||
| Drughi |
Brother...we will see next season...but lets judge Del Piero at end of current season...agree however that Seba is next big thing...
Usually it is enough to score from free kick, to assist Trezeguet. His assist was decisive vs Livorno...his free kick was decisive in Cagliari...he brought us back from hell last season. Offers? Manchester United after calciopoli when he apologized Sir Alex and said he cant leave us because it is hardest moment in our history. Barcelona after Van Gaal, I think it is 2000. or so...Moggi didnt want to talk about it, simply because Family didnt want to hear about it. Del Piero is Juventus...our flag for last 15 years... About Italian clubs offers...well he said ten years ago that cant imagine playing for other Italian club... CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING ON OPPOSITE CURVA AND SUPPORTING ANYONE VS JUVENTUS...in Italy. It is same... People, I mean we talk about best goalscorer in our history and man that gave us world crown and so many titles in last decade... Welcome Ray... 
|
||||
| Dylan |
Iwas not aware of the offers
At last touchdown Raj! |
||||
| Drughi |
Brother, I think you can find it in some interview at Ale site...dont matter it is past...
Stupid Anceloti rested Kaka and Pirlo tonight...result is two dropped points in Siena... For rossoneri sometimes is enough to see colour of the shirt and lose head... 
Hope to see 1 - 0 tommorow at Comunale... Trezeguet to score from only touch of the game 
|
||||
| Dylan |
If the ref of Siena-Milan had behaved like yesterday in a Juventus game we would not hear the end of it. The great Italian media would be saying we keep Moggi in the cellar.
Fratello, Faccione is awaiting Ronaldo' come back...campa cavallo che l' erba cresce! All is gone very quiet on Ronaldo steroids story. Had it been Pierino? Marchisio and De Ceglie, again, had good games. Thank you to the 'ugly sister' Domenech for resting 3zeguet. |
||||
| Luftwaffles |
Given that Ranieri will play a 4-4-2, what is the preferred midfield 4 against Udinese today? | ||||
| rossi82 |
Certainly Almiron Zanetti | ||||
| Liam |
While I thought we were unlucky today as Del Piero hit the post 3 times, I still don't think the team did enough to break Udinese down. Camoranesi was a big miss for me when he went off. Nocerino didn't have a good game and regularly put bad balls into the box. I also felt there was a lack of movement off the ball at times. I remember one move towards the end when Del Piero found Nedved, but Nedved had no one making a good enough run to roll it across to and the keeper got the ball in the end.
I thought the defence was better overall than against Cagliari, though, but they went to sleep on the goal, which was a poor one to concede even if it was nicely executed by Udinese. The game did show though that we won't be celebrating and Scudetto next May. I've seen all 3 league games and the team doesn't have enough about it. Injuries haven't helped but even then more is needed. |
||||
| rossi82 |
Liam - I watched the same game and thought that we ran out of flare after Udinese's game. I remember in the first half thinking that the game did feel like the Serie B games when we controlled entire matches and came out winning by one or two goals only. It did not feel much different. We were in total control in the first half but the goal seems to have stunned us in the second. Also, the players ran out of steam which could be due to international duty. This said, and despite having a bad game generally, we could have still scored three goals in which case we may not have been having this discussion!
I feel the jury is still out. Yes, the scudetto is a tough one as we are still guilty of not signing on a top central defender and a top striker. Also, the management is guilty of not keeping one or two central midfielder. Zanetti can not play at the same level week in week out and Almiron can have an off game as he did today. Tiago is still not all that impressive. The question is - who, apart from Roma, is proving to be impressive? no one... |
||||
| Juvefans |
Almiron had another off day as did the entire of the midfield. After camo went off we didn't have many ideas. ADP was so unlucky, some brilliant free kicks.
I'm worried about the Roma game, I don't think we have that little bit extra class to get a result there. |
||||
| Dylan |
Lady luck...
Nocerino and the off side, it might have been a different stsory. Tiago not a single pass on target. Romolini and then Mulita. Looking grim. |
||||
| rossi82 |
Really grim indeed. We should have had nine points by now. If we loe to Roma then we are already six points behind before we play the you know who, Fiorntina and Inter....I think Reggina falls somewhere in between.... | ||||
| Dylan |
Rossi there is one thing though when Juventus look like going to get a hiding, as I predict next week, they pull something out of the bag.
Tiago will improve, some will say only because he can't get any worse. We will have a job finishing in the top 4, without C. League the club can't attarct big names. There are rumours that the Elkann may be willing to sell 30% of their stake to Warner Brothers. It is stipulated by the Agnelli family that Juventus, control of the club, will never be sold. Right now they can't even find the Avvocato's money. Drughi fratello mio we are back to the Dark Ages: Tavola, Galia, Zavarov, Magrin, Alessio, Barros... 
|
||||
| Dylan |
It gets better Camoranesi out for 2 months. | ||||
| Drughi |
I was on game...at atmosphere wasnt good...we played awful and lacked fighting spirit.
I couldnt see from the stands...was Di Natale offside? It seems that refs are running to make mistakes against us...poor rats, will do everything to help false champions and f**king Milan... 
Now we have to try stay calm and try to collect as much points as possible... As I said, we threw money in the summer for some players and didnt keep our young blood. Still I can see us in top four as Palermo are fools and Fiorentina is inconsistent... Brother, I remember Zavarov and Maifredi few days ago...
About Family...if they cant continue it is best solution to sell it. Ok I dont like us to be Chelsea or ManUtd but we simply cant continue to bring some mediocre players. Give chance to our youth or bring top players...there are only two ways and Secco and other idiots seem not to understand it... |
||||
| rossi82 |
Exactly the point. In the past we were able to buy the likes of Zaidan and Buffon and Baggio when we needed to. We have always bought one or two world class players and one or two extremely promising players from smaller Italian teams. This year we did not need to buy the talent becasue we have it!! I
I agree Dylan that we can still pull a rabitt out of the hat when we need to but playing Roma in Roma without Camo and with a depleted midfield is a scary proposition! Think about Roma's counter-attacks and you know what I mean!!! They played without strikers most of last year, and if you think of the number of goals they scored on the counter.....! |
||||
| rossi82 |
And yes, bring owners who care. The Elkan's are American and football is not in their blood. We had the best owners any club can ever aspire to have but we no longr do...they did not leave us anyone who cares....The onlyserious party with money at this stage are the Libyans....Just as the Russians and the Americans are buying team after team in the UK, the Libyans have oil money too and can afoord to spend until they drop... | ||||
| Dylan |
And Roma have yet to concede a goal | ||||
| nino |
Ouch Camo is gonna be a big loss. He is very talented and right up for it this season from the get-go. | ||||
| Liam |
I couldn't agree more that a top striker was needed in the summer. It's fair to say that given the choice of realistic targets I would not have signed Iaquinta. Del Piero, Nedved and Trezeguet are 3 of the best players of their generation, but they're at the wrong end of their careers, especially Nedved and Del Piero, and they need replacing in the long term. In the summer I was disappointed we missed out on Giuseppe Rossi. He's not world class yet, but he'll become world class, and he would have been a good option to replace Del Piero. Huntelaar was another I wanted as I feel he's like a younger Trezeguet. I feel both of those players would have been effective short and long term signings. Certainly I'd have been much happier with them than Iaquinta (Who I hope proves me wrong). |

| Myles |
Just copped it, i must've pressed the edit button instead of the quote button. 
|
||||
| Dylan |
Rossi and Liam spot on | ||||
| Dylan |
Blinding, Nocerino gets run over outside restaurant in Turin.
Drughi I trust you still have your kit. |
||||
| rossi82 |
Excellent. Nocerino hit by a car and we are lining up Crouch. I do not know which of the two to be more sad about!!!!!! | ||||
| Dylan |
Crouch? | ||||
| Drughi |
Too bad, Zebina or Camoranesi didnt go out in restaraunt. Nocerino has stone head so he will recover fast.
Crouch would be great, insieme con Ballack, they will be nice stewards... I dont know if you see scenes from Curva, some guy threw la bomba carta ( dont know English word )...man half of Curva wanted to kick him for being such moron...stewards saved him... It is usually like it when morons came to Curva once in five years trying to be smart...
Brother, if you read italian papers, today Milano Merda presidents started to talk about domination in Italian soccer. It is usually case when cat is sleeping so rats start to be overconfident. We will back to teach them some lessons...sooner or later... 
|
||||
| flotron |
Yeah, got a good view of the moron on the tv. |
||||
| rossi82 |
Yup. All seven feet of him... |
||||
| Dylan |
Buffon- We are going to Rome with a free spirit, we have nothing to lose. Looking at the rebuilding plan we know that there will be defeats it will be unavoidable. Like the fans the players don't like losing. What I wish for from the Rome game is a clean sheet. | ||||
| Jimmilson |
I suspect part of our problem is that other than Buffon half the team are vastly inexperienced and the others are vastly overexperienced - i.e. too old! | ||||
| Dylan |
Jimmilson spot on. They looked sluggish at Cagliari and again on Sunday the old guard and overweight.
Ranieri could try Palladino. And it seems we dropped a clanger with Zalayeta too. |
||||
| Liam |
I agree with you Dylan about Palladino. I found myself wanting him to be brought on against Cagliari and Udinese. Unfortunately I sense Ranieri is not a great fan of his. | ||||
| nino |
Ouch poor Nocerino. Hope we can get back into gear soon. | ||||
| Liam |
It sounds as if Nocerino could even play on Sunday, which is a relief as Camoranesi is now missing for 6 weeks. Without meaning to make excuses, injuries have not helped so far this season, especially down the right where I think every player in the squad has had a knock of some sort at one stage. | ||||
| rossi82 |
If Nocerino is not fit to play, and given that Camo will be out, this is the time to intoduce Palladino. He played in that position last year. Alternatively we bring back Alex and move Palladino to partner Trez. Main thing though is for our central mid-fielders to deliver. Otherwise we will be slaughtered against Roma..... | ||||
| rossi82 |
Check out the results -so far- for the poll on the JuventusMember website. The question is: In your opinion what is the main cause for Juventus defeat against Udinese last Sunday?
A. Bad luck B. Atheltic Condition C. Juve Defense D. Juve Midfield E. Juve Attack. I personally voted D. Looks like 26.09% agreed. An identical percentage voted A. 21% voted B and -surprisingly- the defense came in fourth at 17.39%. I really think that our problem is more in the midfield than defense. Bad luck does count but with a decent midfield we could have countered that. This is made all the worse when we all know that we had two bright midfielders who could have supported Almiron and Zanetti. |
||||
| Duncan! |
Watching the game, Criscito looked pretty good against Udinese. The midfield looked a little stale for Juve.
I see ADP is issuing his Nazionale complaints. The problem is thier are better players ahead of him right now. He has been a loyal member of the Azzurri, but maybe it is time for him to concentrate on Juve. |
||||
| Dylan |
Secco stated this morning that we will buy if there is a need.
Some bookies are pricing Juventus at 5 on Sunday. I will have a go. On the www.lastampa.it Juventus forum the great majaority of Juventini seem convinced we will get a terrible beating. Especially those who watched Roma' performance last night. Probably they are right but, in the past, Juventus have managed to pull out incredible performances when least expected. Fratello what's the story in my city? |
||||
| Drughi |
Well brother I said...when cat is sleeping rats became overconfident...Secco is guilty as he threw some money and didnt keep our youth...
Fans spoke with Gigi and Ale, we urged them just to say players that we support them and only we want to see team fighting on Sunday...nothing else, Roma can give us five goals dont matter we just need to fight for lives...it is enough. Fans are in good mood, we will go to Rome in huge numbers to help club. As I see situation, small clubs like Roma are waiting for this situation for years as for them every game vs Juve is chance to add something to funny history. So expect false Prince and his team to attack and try to beat us as hard as possible. But we will fight and need just to stay calm...I dont remember many situations in the past when someone used fact that Juve is in hard situation...we are best when it is most needed. About odds, well I hope eveyone that support Roma with money at bookies at 1.90. will lose money and end sleeping under the bridge... 
From bookies I have accounts, it is 4.33. highest at BET365 I will take it and also Nedved to score...have feeling. See you brother |
||||
| rossi82 |
Seeing Roma play as they do, I am really concerned. I sound like a broken record but I hate the current look and composition of our central midfielders..... | ||||
| Liam |
I'm half worried, half relaxed about the Roma game. Obviously I'm worried they'll win easily, but at the same time that expectation has brought with it a feeling of what have we got to lose?
Also, any team with Buffon in goal can win any match. |
||||
| Raj! |
Disappointing defeat there last week...team as a whole seems very sluggish... maybe as the season starts to flow so will the team... been a bit stop start with break and stuff...
....one thing is for sure though... Almiron will have to sort his form out... the last 2 games he's been nothing short of awful.. ok other's have been too... but in his position where he is meant to be running the game it really is glaring... not saying he's not talented.. he clearly is... but he needs to settle down and start getting playing... can't afford to be carrying players in a crucial position like that... I'm sure he'll come good.... Roma would be a good start.... I feel for Criscito too... great prospect and showing lots of ability... but I fear he's been put in at the deep end with our lightweight defence... Still we're almost there... a quality defender and Almiron to come to the show and we'll be ok for the season... This weekend should be a real good test of where we really are... |
||||
| Dylan |
Sunday expected starters(4-4-2): Buffon; Grygera, Andrade, Criscito, Chiellini; Salihamidzic, Zanetti, Almiron, Nedved; Trezeguet, Del Piero.
Almiron might not make it as he pulled out of training this morning with a muscle problem. He is doubtful. We do not look totally crap on paper but we are in a tough afternoon and a good hiding I fear. |
||||
| JuventinoNYC |
Ciao juventini, finally found my way to this new forum. I spent a month on holiday, and while in Rome I found this tiny but fantastic local restaurant run by a family of Juve supporters. I was wearing my Juve wristband, ala Capitano, and the owner's son applauded my colors and revealed himself. He complained how hard it was to support Juve in Rome, but I explained it is much harder to support from New York.
Anyway, I thought Grygera and Salima are hurt? Are they really starting Sunday? |
||||
| Mezz |
Did you have tip extra for that? |
||||
| Juvefans |
|
||||
| JuventinoNYC |
nice. i wondered why he was so helpful.
Wan't it Borat who so eloquently said "Are you telling me the man who try to put a rubber fist in my anus was a homosexual?" |
||||
| Liam |
Good to see you on here JuventinoNYC, but you couldn't make your avatar a touch smaller could you? 
|
||||
| JuventinoNYC |
my avatar's beautiful and i love her, but if it really bothers you guys i can shrink her down to a more acceptable size.
but really, there's nothing small about Juve, is there? ...except for maybe Sebastian. |
||||
| Liam |
I wouldn't really be bothered, but it stretches the bit where the avatar is so it takes up half the page all the way down, and as a result there's less room for the posts, so they become a bit squashed looking. Sorry. | ||||
| JuventinoNYC |
i think this new size is reasonable... | ||||
| Liam |
That's fine. 
|
||||
| juveboy |
Are we forgetting something here, it may have been preseason but we raped them 5-2 with the exact team however, if my memory serves me right, Molinaro was LB that evening. My fear is if Almiron does not start, who will? (Tiago  ) we fans deserve to see a decent performance from him as he has looked rather lacklustre up until now but I hope we see the real Tiago soon.
Forza Juve!!! |
||||
| Dylan |
If Almiron does not make it Nocerino will start.
The mysterious object may come good yet. Platini and Zidane did not set the world on fire at the start, Tiago according to Ranieri will come through. I am not saying Tiago is Platini. There is a feeling of anger within the Gobbini camp as they feel the media are treating them like lambs to the slaughter in tomorrow's game. That might be an incentive. We have the best back 4 we can currently master starting for the first time that might help too. Mexes and Totti had someting to say but the hysteria of previous game is no longer an issue. Different times. Juventus are the underdogs, nothing to lose. We all knew it was going to be tough this seaason, but we aren't used to it. |
||||
| Juvefans |
The bookies have put Juve at 7-1 for Mourinho's next destination. | ||||
| rossi82 |
Sounds good to me although Ranieri deserves a chance |
||||
| Liam |
I do not understand the fuss currently surrounding Tiago. He was poor when he came on last Sunday, but he's yet to even make a league start and he's being branded a flop. He deserves much more of a chance to get it right. | ||||
| JuventinoNYC |
The special one to Juve? Three Misters in 6 months? If we were inter, maybe that would happen... but thank god we're not.
And I'm not worried about Roma; let them think we are the underdogs. If Ale scored instead of hitting the goal three times against those idiots from Udine the circus would be a different story, but thankfully we can go to Roma focused and determined. |
||||
| rossi82 |
You make a very good point. We lost because we hit the post three times and had tow penalty appeals not given. So on this front, we may have been a little harsh on the team as although we played s$%t in the second half, we could have still sealed it with a win.
As for today's game. My concern is not whether Juve lives up to the occasion when it comes to big game, this has almost always been the case (other than Lippi's last year), but rather that the new team has not absorbed the Juve values and traditions yet. If this game came three or four matches down the line then this is a different story. I think the more time that passes, the better this team will be, but Roma in week four is not ideal. |
||||
| Drughi |
FInal report...just arrived in shitty eternal city...and it is quiet.
They prepare something...papers are full of shit as Roma suddenly became world champion
for me...and for everyone in red and yellow today...
Brother, we will survive... |
||||
| Juvefans |
I'm feeling quite optimistic about today (probably due to the insane amount of vodka red bull i had last night) and I think we should remember that we have the best No. 10 in Italy playing for us. I have faith that he will overshadow the arrogant waster Totti | ||||
| Macxz |
So far Roma's number 10 has had the luck... 2-1
We need to kick ass for the rest of the match... where is Montero?! |
||||
| Juvefans |
I think I was still drunk when I wrote this. Iaquinta was excellent today but we were lucky to get the point. |
||||
| rossi82 |
No we were not lucky and have no clue what you are talking about. When Alex misses a penalty and has a free kick miss the goal by cms then we too were unlucky. If you add to this three posts in last game then one can argue that we could have had 10 or 12 points by now. And frankly...none of the other teams in Serie A at the moment is really impressive.....we showed we can play Roma in the Olimpico despite a depleted central midfield..
Zanetti is my player of the match...then Iquinta, Buffon and Grygera.. |
||||
| Myles |
I think the 2-2 is a great result considering Roma should have walloped us.
The result covers up our cracks though, where is our 'spirito Juve'...they died when Vialli, Deschamps, Ravenelli, Montero, Di Livio, Ferrara, Pessotto left us. We are really going to struggle to get to 4th place. Our defence is a shambles. About Roma, they will not win the Scudetto if they do not have the character to win games when they settle for 2-1 when they should be winning 6-1. |
||||
| flotron |
Andrade could be out for 6 months... very bad news, i am worried. Criscito is good but he showed his inexperience today against Totti.
I was impressed by Iaquinta he showed real spirit. Del Piero just has no luck, he will turn things around, but its good to see Paladino get a few mins he had fire in his belly i hope to see more of him. |
||||
| Drughi |
Shalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala...
f**k the Romans... They will crush us ?
We f**ked them...so it was bussiness as usual...
Myles, my man...I mean...we were lucky
We made them laughing stock today in second half... It was great to hear us sing... WE ARE YOUR DARKEST DREAM...and f**king Romans just shut after Iaquinta scored... Shalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
Ciao and see you in the morning...just visit our Drughi section in stink city...but I will be at home in the morning... See you then... Brother...we are Juventus...IT USUALLY MAKES DIFFERENCE... |
||||
| rossi82 |
Roma is a good team but their problem is that they can not play in two competitions at the same time. Again, if Roma could not seal the game then it is their problem not ours. Here we are score a goal in the dying minutes after we did the same against Cagliari. So Spirito Juve is still there.
Defensively. I think Criscito should not start games where he is requested to mark Toti. We saw why today. Lagro had a decent game and so did Grygera...But if Andrade is out for six months then this is really bad... |
||||
| nino |
We can go to Rome and bring home a point which is great but the team need work, and definitely a defender or two for Christmas. Glad to see Palladino get a run out. | ||||
| Liam |
I was critical of the Iaquinta signing, but I was very impressed with him today. He worked very hard, he provided more mobility to the attack, provided a great cross for Trezeguet's goal, and then scored one of his own. On that form he is more than worth a place in the line-up.
On the game as a whole again we can thank Gigi Buffon. No other player in the world can match his levels of performance. I feel a big part of the problem with the defending is the midfield. Roma's players had too much space to work in between the defence and midfield, and that was part of the problem of selecting a 4-3-3. Nedved isn't a defensive player, and as a result, with Roma playing 5 in midfield there was too much room for their runners. Also after watching the match I was impressed with the way Roma had players moving around Totti. I feel this Juventus side at present hasn't enough movement off the ball. Thankfully though they never give up, and that quality has earned a point today, and a win at Cagliari. |
||||
| rossi82 |
Well put Liam. I have saying for a while that it is the midfield is the problem. As you saw from the results of thje survey I posted a few days back, many people seem to agree. Roma does not play attackers. Even Totti is arguably not your normal attacking player so it was expected that they would dominate the midfield. Even with the mistakes, I think Buffon and the defense had a good game generally....
I still think this season will be interesting as the so called big teams are struggling. Roma seems to be the best of the lot but we pushed them to the limit today. Also, they have one hell of a run ahead of them...Fiorntina, Inter, Man U then some other big team...Let us hope we get three points from our Reggina game.. |
||||

Well we have got nuts!
Crapone-Pupone looked disappointed at the finish. Never mid. Andrade broken knee ligament, end of season The ugly sister Rosella Sensi is complaining about the referee, same old story, same old act. |

| Duncan! |
It may have been a draw, but "crapone-pupone" showed who is the real number 10 in Italia.
If you don;t think so, please put the crack pipe down |

Still you could not win and conceded two goals.... | ||||
| Drughi |
Yes, ugly puppet and husband of everyone's girlfriend showed blah,blah,blah...
When? When kid that has never seen so many people at one place marked him?
Please, Duncan my friend dont start again...if it is only you can say about game. If capitano didnt miss penalty you would be soundly till the end.
Hope you finally realized difference between ordinary football club and religion like Juventus. Why we showed you where is your real place? You have better team but still cant win. Because you are afraid of our spirit, our history... About Buffon, people think again. He saved us? From what? We were on offensive whole f**king game so it is normal to have holes in defence... Buffon is best keeper in history...what he is supposed to do? It would be same to say...well without Trezeguet goals we would be nothing. These things are expected, David to score, Gigi to keep us in game etc...it is part of every game... We made punch that rats would feel whole f**king season. Please understand what atmosphere was created in shitty Roman media...all rats of this world wanted to see our blood. As I said they became overconfident so it was time for cat to teach them lesson... I dont f**king care about this season...we already lost title by silly mistakes at calciomercato. Two serious defenders like Ivanovic and Cannavaro were needed...and 30th title would be in our hands. But never mind, we will wait for next season... And I dont care about f**king Reggina...simply it is time to enjoy in fact we support best club on the Earth... |

Fratello the 'cagasotto' romolini believed, yesterday, they were going to the Coloseum. And we had Lefrattaglie on!
When 3zeguet scored the radio commentator went silent! Duncan, nothing personal, but you lot are abismally pitiful. Crapone-Pupone, Mexes, De Rossi for a week passing comments, trying to bring the game to the usual hysterical levels. Anyone who reads my posts knows my view on Totti-Pierino on the fieled. However on a human and intellectual level Crapone-Pupone is not fit to wipe Pierino's butt! And do something about Rosella 'ugly sister' Sensi can't she wear a burka?

And Totti was offside!
Can you imagine if a Gobbino had scored in an offside position? |

| anselmi |
? |

| Drughi |
If we scored from offside today Roman Merda would cry like babies...
But mistakes vs Juventus are acceptable... Dont worry we are able to teach rats lesson every weekend... |

Andrade season is definitely over.
In January another central defender will be signed. |
||||
| Duncan! |
Didn;t see Totti being offsides yesterday and still didn;t see it today.
I will give Juve some props as they came in and took a point. Maybe some of the Roma players were popping off before game, but not too much of it on the Roma thread. ADP may or may not be the better "person" , but I don;t know either he or Totti so why do I care? I don't get into celebrity/athletes personal lives and gossip stuff. Both are great players, They seem to get on fairly well. Still don't understand why they were not paired together on the Azzurri. Especially since Totti plays more of an advanced role now, as before ADP did. Forza Roma! |

Celebrity? Life of others? Crapone-Pupone can't even speak Italian and though, allegedly, wrote a book I doubt he has read one. On the human level Totti has the tendecy to try and belittle his opponents.
Zidane was a great player, Baggio, Kaka' is a great like Ronaldinho. Totti and Pierino are 'goog players'. Every paper in Italy and sport TV programmes that reviewed the game stated that Totti was offside and possibly fouled Criscito. Now Gobbi, fratello especially, who should we get in January? Barzagli? |
||||
| Dylan |
Sombody is need of medication Ivanovic is considered too inexperienced and may have problems adjusting to Serrie A, like Criscito at present. Zampacretini would want a fortune for Barzagli who Ranieri had turned down in the summer anyway. So?
A comeback at 35 LILLIAN THURAM! Why not Pietro Vierchwood. |
||||
| Juvefans |
the funniest rumours I read were those linking us to Iuliano, Di Biagio and Negro!!!
All are however better than Boumsong |
||||
| rossi82 |
Brazagli is Juve quality.....Ranieri will change his mind. |
||||
| Drughi |
It is topic number one in Italy...
Personally I would like to see Ivanovic...he is best defender around... Inexperienced? Well if you play alongside Vidic in Serbian national team and easily keep Cristiano Ronaldo and Simao...and if you play in tough Russian league for years without any problems even you headed East being nothing...I think he has more quality than to keep quiet some strikers in Serie A... Thuram, no...we will force him out after all he said leaving for Barca... Cannavaro no...only if we are in title race, but I doubt it... Garay from Santander is also talented but I dont like to see Spain player in Italy...remember Mendietta
Lugano
Alex : Good player but not Juve material I think...I dont like Brasilians as defenders Barzagli : no, coach dont want it... Ujfalusi : they want Palladino for exchange
Felipe, Zapata, Da Costa : Ivanovic is better Meira : no...we cant get him... Plan could be simple : Chiellini in middle and Molinaro at left or Grygera at middle and Braco Salihamidzic on right... Tommorow we will try tridente again...but Zanetti will be rested for game vs rats for weekend. Tiago will start and try to impress... I dont know what you think brother but he is key player in midfield See you later... |
||||
| rossi82 |
Tiago is yet to prove his quality but he definitely needs to play to be able to prove it.
Personally I still like Brazagli. Until January do not be surprised if we play Lagro and Grygera in midfield. Chellini is worth more playing as a winger... |
