Open conversazione

TK makes some decent points. I think his man-love for Nocerino is on the same level as you guys with DeCeglie:hilarious. I know you all think he's cute but this guy is a bench player, at best. I can't say I'm a jinx or anything but in the few games I've seen him he's been terrible with putting a decent cross into the box, absolutely terrible. Not one made into the penalty area, if he's lucky to even beat his man and able to get a cross off. He's not a starting LB and definitely not one to have in the CL. I'm glad you all agree on Chiellini being a LB, I think I've stated that a few pages back (months ago) when he played those 2 or 3 games on that side and away from the middle. They've gotten their shit together recently but there's no hiding the bigger picture. They've played 31 games so far and this stretch of games doesn't hide some of the mental errors he's made in the middle, along with Bonucci who ironically kept Juve in this race by scoring. All in all, I give credit to Conte and this team for being where they are at today but I'll always say it, I can only be upset at what could've been. This team has been more solid, compact, hard-working than any other team in the league. There's some heart and grit with this team but they lack a bully. They play with a lot of class but I wouldn't mind a mercenary in the midfield to rough up the opposition, get in their heads a little. They may lack the edge and killer instinct but definitely has been a pleasure to see where they are.

I honestly can say you can forget about Van Persie. It's rare to see a star from England come over to Italy and make the same impact. Besides, I'm sure he'll end up at RM or Barca. Benzema is a good player but let's not get ahead of ourselves. He will cost a lot. I can't say who Juve should/shouldn't get, we don't know who is available or not. Remember, there's a boatload of players Juve need to get rid of before even considering buying. I read a link to Robben and this is a player you don't want. He's such a headcase and he would be seeing plenty of the bench. Conte's message is very clear. Listen to him or spend plenty of time on the bench. He doesn't care how much of the transfer fee was to pick up the player, he will bench his ass if he steps out of line/doesn't listen. How about Balotelli...???

"all the games you've seen him play" doesn't really say much. De Ceglie has been solid this second half of the season.

I wouldn't mind bringing in Balotelli on a loan to buy deal. I think Conte may be able to get this kid thinking straight, but I wouldn't put money on it.

---------------------Buffon

Licht/Caceres---Barzagli--Bonnuci---Chiellini

-----------Vidal------Pirlo-----Marchisio

---------------------Giovinco

------------Balotelli-----------Rossi

Obviously not a realistic line-up, 1. because I doubt were going to sign one of Rossi or Balotelli, let alone both, plus 2. the formation and players are a little too offensive and narrow for my liking.

[Bagg10]

Juve are expected to go with the 4-3-3 tomorrow(Gazzetta) Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Marchisio, Pirlo, Vidal, Pepe, Matri, Vucinic

4-4-3? No wonder everyone calls you guys Rubentus.

And Gazzetta are now predicting that Quagliarella will start rather than Matri.

[DavidP]

here's to hoping you get all 3 tonight.

[p_maldini_3]

whoever man-marks pirlo is usually a non-factor in any offensive part of the game.

hey david, fuck you.

ALESSANDRO MOTHER FUCKING DEL PIEROOOOOOOOO

Lazio deserved nothing out of this game. Should of been 4 or 5 - 1 up at half time. No doubt in my mind that Del's going to be back next year. Agnelli will cave to the fans. There's no real reason you shouldn't bring this legend back.

Huge game. I'm so pumped right now.

[DavidP]

grande fucking pepe. loved that man ever since this same fixture last season.

Today was a perfect example of why character is important. Game is going into the late minutes... who comes through? ADP... character doesn't fade with age.

That felt like a game I've watched several times this season:

Juve dominate the first half, make heaps of chances, but aren't ahead at halftime. It's then tough to play at the same level and intensity in the second half and the game has tended to peter out and finish in a draw.

If Juve can add a clinical edge this summer, they are going to start to stroll games like that the way they should, given their dominance.

Still, good thing The Waterboy can still turn it on now and then. Sending the keeper the wrong way from 25 yards ain't bad.

Poor goal to concede. Vucinic wasn't paying attention, so there was heaps of time to pick a cross. The CBs were then on their heels when they ought to have been looking to step forward and attack the ball. Great header, though.

[Zoff82]

Eeaassy there folks! Still plenty to play for with 7 games left. I wouldnt get too excited. They were wasteful once again and theyre playing teams that will put 10 behind the ball. These are the teams Juve have trouble beating. Il Capitan deserves an extension at a veteran minimum. If you're gonna keep that bum Boriello on the books, better off taking him off and keeping tender Alex.

I can't see Juve keeping Borriello, though.
