A Confluence of Shitty Factors

By: agiamba | September 15th, 2009
   

Doomed us. We should have won this game, for a variety of reasons. Brief review after the jump.

Things that screwed us over-
#1- Fatigue: Several players looked tired- Tiago and Marchisio come to mind. We should not have let Zanetti go, we could really use him right now.
#2- Injuries: Ferrara didn’t really have a choice to chance too much around, as two substitutions were forced by injury, Tiago and Cannavaro. We can only hope that they aren’t out for too long.
#3- Referee: I’m not gonna harp on this one too much, but that was a pretty straightforward offside call to make, even if Tiago should have had his man covered. What was the linesman doing?
#4- Weather: The rain in Turin made it very difficult to complete a string of passes, particularly in the time before and after the break. Long balls insued.

I don’t want to blame all of these issues on our draw because the players deserve blame, but in other circumstances we would have won. The team did not play that well today, hopefully Ferrara will yell at them and try and figure out what went wrong.

    Grosso was poor indeed. Although it didn't look like he was getting the ball that much, I must also say he wasn't getting "ripped apart" like Goal.com claims him to be defensively. Marchisio needs a week's rest.

    Cana was solid. While Gigi is obviously #1.

    "lol my brother is 12 so what do you expect???"

    There it is.

    Mickey just needs to get laid, then after all of 48 seconds of excitement passes, he'll calm down and will finally start acting like a civilized tool that he is.

    Get a life, mickey.
  • marco
    lol my brother is 12 so what do you expect???
  • marco
    you said it dude, I want to apologize to all the people that my brother has offended on this blog my sincere apologies go to alessio who had to read all the crap that my bro wrote down. Lol I am a chievo supporter so you as you probably guessed I care little about the title race I care a bit more about survival which is why I was glad that we beat bologna the other day. Calciopoli fucked up italian football real bad, I mean, I am a chievo supporter and all but there is no way that we should have been allowed to play in the champions league back in 06 07. We didnt even make it to the group stage. Anyways sorry for all the shit my bro has given you guys, personally I think inter and juve are the only ones who can win the title this year but who knows perhaps milan will conjure up a miracle. I have made my brother promise to me that he will only stay on inter's blog now or otherwise he wont be seeing this blog again. Cheers.
  • Jorid
    You can say what ever you want you lifeless fucking troll. I don't give a flying fuck about you, the childish names you call me, your opinion and your gay ass inter. Fuck it, win in December if you want. I really hope that, just maybe/hopefully Juve wins the Scudetto this year so then I can live on the inter boards and remind pathetic little bastards like you which team has always been, still is and forever WILL historically be the best Italian team.
    I'm sorry Marco your brother is an imbecile. You sound like a cool guy though. It must be a real pain living with such a big-mouthed idiot.
  • marco
    lol georg try living with this guy!!! Hes my bro
  • georg
    one wise advise to all juve fans,...

    if someone is desperately crying out loud for some attention( like woman during their period, little children before bedtime,old people,or worse,people with lots of frustrations in life, etc,.. for example)
    AND the cry is clearly an obvious provocation,...

    then think twice.
    that persons objectives are reached IF:
    *he/she is getting the attention needed either its bad or good attention.
    * he/she feels, the provocations actually have its effects as people respond annoyed, maybe even angry.

    as you all love Italian football, thinking strategically wouldn't be so hard:-)
    so the solution to this 'problem' is pretty simple:
    just IGNORE it. the cries will probably go on for a while, but the loudness and intensity will decrease and eventually you'll see,... it will even completely disappear.
    and we can all return in peace to the core of this forum: having FUN and babbling juvematters.

    this will be my one and only response to this 'matter'
    I hope all juvefans use their brains well:-)
    i rest my case
  • marco
    so alessio what do you reckon of chievo's chances of staying in serie A this year? I like Di Carlo a lot so I hope they dont sack him. Sergio Pelissier deserves at least one more call because hes a great striker I just hope he doesnt leave us yet.
  • marco
    srry about that guys my brother tends to do that a lot. Rants and all hes actually a pretty nice guy except you better not get him going or else.....

    as alessio and the rest of you saw

    anyways im his bro and i am a chievo fan
  • Wow, wow. Just wow. I typically delete comments that make personal insults, but I think mickey does so much more a disservice to himself with these idiotic rants, that I'm going to let them stay. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the finest evidence of an internet troll you will ever see.

    Replace "Unreal Tournament 2004" with "Football trolls" and you get the idea.
  • mickey
    haha lets see how many pro dickheads and hypocrites react to this, THE MORE THE MERRIER!!!
  • mickey
    michelangelo!!!!!!!!

    I KNEW THERE WAS MORE THEN ONE PRO HYPOCRITE HERE!!!!

    NEXT TIME THOUGH READ THE SIGN THAT SAYS "NO PRO HYPOCRITES ALLOWED"

    in case you were too much of a dipshit to understand why I am accusing you of hypocrisy then I will tell you. Isnt it ironic how you had to tell someone on a blog to get a life. Ironic in that you should have better things to do then tell a total stranger on a blog to get a life. There does that make things easier for your simple brain to understand?
  • mickey
    ok holy mann if you need help to insult me just lemme know. Here I can point out one thing for you since I dont think you will be able to use anything against me that would insult me. Here try insulting my bad use of grammar, oh wait that isnt very good at all, after all we are on a blog site so who said we had to all act like grammar nazis right?
    I think Im going to reccomend that you be held back so I can personally help you achieve your goal of passing the "how to offend people 101" class. Unfortunately you're the only one who is failing the class so I'm afraid you will have to work hard while all your friends have fun being dickheads. Oh but dont worry I see a lot of potential in ya. But until you are ready you cannot be called a dickhead. If you want to use a role model then i suggest using sam, mickey mouse or any of the many other professionals here. THey are all very good at what they do. I want to thank Juventus fc for consistently having a tremendously talented group of dickehad fans since 1899. Oh and the Juve players are the ones who really should be thanked because if the fans are professional dickheads the juve players (except for del piero and buffon) are world class dickheads.
  • michelangelo
    broo get a fukin life go back to ur cheatin team
  • mickey
    although I have noticed that some of you in here have other talents such as Sam!!! Sam didnt you read the sign that said "No professional hypocrites allowed"? I guess not, you made me laugh very very hard when I saw what you wrote about me needing to get a life!!! Yes because telling a guy on an internet blog that he needs to get a life makes you have a life, am I right? Wow your parents must be proud of you, people go up to them and they ask them "What does your son do for a living" and then they proudly say "Hes a professional hypocrite but has a tremendous talent for being a dickhead". How wonderful. Others who have talents are people such as mickey mouse who tarnish MY name (not your name you jack but my name) with their commendable talents of stealing my name, then saying its their name, being a rubentino piece of shit, and just being an overall dickhead. Oh but holymann
    "Did we hurt your feelings little mickey?? Guys come on lay off hes sensitive"

    OF ALL THE DICKHEADS IN THIS GROUP YOU ARE THE ONE WHO JUST SUCKS AT IT!!!! You my friend are the noob of dickheads, you try to offend people but it just doesnt work, is that why your wife seemed so unhappy when I was banging her? Was it cuz you couldnt give her what she wanted? Sexually? Emotionally? You need to seriously revise your insults cuz at present you are the only one who still hasnt graduated from "how to offend people 101", jeez dude did you just not try or were you just too much of a dipshit to know the answers to the tests. You probably couldnt even offend the teacher at all, not even by cheating. There was too much emptiness in your brain to even figure that all!!!! But hell we all have our weaknesses in life, your is just a bit more severe then I could have predicted as you are holding the other dickheads back, I dont care what you do but anything is better then
    "Did we hurt little mickey's feelings? Leave him alone guys hes sensitive" Wow thats the best you got fag? Compassion? Come on even my gay reference sounded better then that? Even my sexual references about your hypothetical wife was better? In fact your insult was so bad that mine actually look worthy of recognition. But why waste time on you? What a useless waste of time.
  • mickey
    wow i must admit i underestimated the talent of this group of bloggers. However I have never held the talent of being a dickhead in such high regard before, I gets its cuz you guys are so goddam good at being dickheads, congrats!!!
  • Mickey Mouse
    Dude, quit tarnishing my name..bitch
  • Sam
    HAHA mickey u must be out of your mind three post in a row! Im enjoying how long they took u to write! Get a life man. It's obvious that your nervous at how good our team looks at the moment, except for that minor slip up.We'll all see in December who the better team is until then keep your pants on mickey.
  • HolyMann
    "wow you know what it doesnt matter what the result is because we will never be good enough for you assholes"

    did we hurt your feelings little mickey?? guys come on, lay off the guy, he's sensitive....

    Mickey, i see you're showing off with some new words you memorized at school today, notice how many time he used the term "intellectual prostitution"? im proud of you son....cant wait to see what other big words you're gonna be using
  • mickey
    furthermore the team who we raped a few weeks ago even managed to win but not you rubentini not you. Never mind the fact that you were supposed to overcome us or that you arrogantly (like the full of shit people you are) said you would play more attractive football then us. No by the time december arrives our attack will be fully integrated with sneijder, milito, and eto'o all knowing each other. We will also have cambiasso who is still better than all of your overrated midfield combined. Hey if we beat milan 4-0 when 5 new players had just arrived during the summer and didnt know each other that well imagine what we will do to you when these players have gotten to know each other!!!! No jorid raped will be your team in december not even your precious alex del piero no your incredibly overrated amauri will stop us. Diego is good but he cant do it all by himself, getting past roma's midfield is one thing but then getting past the world's best defensive midfielder cambiasso is another. This will be the year we silence you assholes permanently.
  • mickey
    AHH STOP THE ANTICHRIST BEFORE HE DROWNS THE WORLD WITH HIS INTELLECTUAL PROSTITUTION!!! JORID HAS RETURNED!!!! Yes cuz your reasoning is SOOOOOOOOO much better:

    "when his team was lucky not to get raped @ san siro"

    oh yes cuz a 0-0 is such a raping right? Then imagine how your team would have done, your team who tied with bordeaux deservedly and probably would have lost had it not been for buffon. But no we got "raped", oh I am so looking forward to the match in december where we totally own your asses. HA!!! You think that you are worthy title contenders??? Dont make me laugh. You will learn the true definition of "raped" in december jorid and co. If we do "rape" you I will make sure, especially for jorid's sake, that I remind you of the true definition of the word every single fucking day by posting the youtube highlights on this wall of intellectual prostitutes.
  • mickey
    wow you know what it doesnt matter what the result is because we will never be good enough for you assholes. Even though we probably played the best of the 4 italian teams this weekend it still wasnt enough for you fuckers. Oh I wanna see you get a fucking clean sheet against the best fucking team in the world rubentini!!!! You who conceded to bordeaux and even looked susceptible against them!!! Hell if it hadnt been for buffon you would have lost. Even if we had won you assholes would probably just have bitched on and on about how we sucked and the other team is better, how hypocritical considering how we played better then you in the last 16 last year and if we replayed that match against man u we would win it cuz there would be no ibra to fuck things up for us. Hes their problem now, THANK GOD FOR THAT!!! We had chances too but no matter cuz you anti interisti always try and minimize everything we fucking do on the field. So I SEE GETTING RAPED BY BARCA IS HAVING A GOALESS DRAW???? SO THEN TYING WITH A TEAM WHO IS SHIT BY COMPARISON MUST BE WHAT THEN?????? You see your logic makes no sense but why is that even a surprise, typical rubentini spewing biased intellectual prostitution out of all their little pores every goddam second of the day. At least have some respect, we defended adamantly and you didnt even deserve to win.
  • Preview up tomorrow, latest.
  • diego1torontojuve
    Can everyone relax? Juve fans are worse than Leaf fans... its the 4th game of the year (CL and Scudetto).. theres lots of football to be played... do you people honestly think Juve will not get out of this group? come on people.. wait till our darling ADP comes back, and Diego is healthy... its a long season.!
  • "Medical bulletin in view of Livorno
    This morning the medical tests of Cannavaro, Tiago and Felipe Melo were completed following their injuries during the Champions League match against Bordeaux on Tuesday. These are the results:

    Cannavaro: first degree distortion to the long muscle of the left thigh. The recovery period is foreseen to be that of between 15 and 20 days during which physiotherapy and gradual training will be carried out.

    Tiago: contracture to the left thigh.

    Felipe Melo: distortive trauma to the left ankle.

    For both midfielders the prognosis for complete recovery is that of 7 days.

    In the meantime, Del Piero, Diego and Salihamidzic are proceeding with their rehabilitation process towards complete recovery.

    Grygera is completely recovered and has returned to working with the group. "
  • Haha good one, nnahoj.
    RIP to the Italian soldiers killed in Kabul.

    Cannavaro is out for 15 days from what I've read...Diego and Del Piero may be ready for this game, Grygera will be back. Tiago and Marchisio are questionable.
  • Jose
    So, there are a bunch of injuries already, any of you know who will play in midfield against Livorno?. I hope Marchisio is given some rest, but that means we might have to play with Marrone. We need to be rested and good to go against Genoa. Let me know what you think
  • Jorid
    LMFAO. Hahaha. Good shit Nnahoj. Mickey Mouse's reasoning is fantastic. First he said that inter doesn't have any Italian players because it was created to be composed of only international players which is why it's got its name. Now he is saying "we did an awesome job at holding the best team in the world to a tie" when his team was lucky not to get raped @ San Siro. How come retard, I thought with the addition of Sneijder inter was now not only the best team in Italy but a clear CL contender which could rival Barca, Man Utd, Chelsea, Real? Barca dominated, and guess what's gonna happen @ Camp Nou a month or so from now? inter is going to take it very hard. =)
  • Mitar
    Well,thanks guys,I hope Legrotaglie,Camoranesi and Iaquinta start :)
  • Robee
    I'm guessing Amauri could even be benched this weekend in favour of Iaquinta and Trezeguet; he has played everything so far...
  • Nnahoj
    Mickey, your post was just like Inter's play last night - overly defensive and reeking of an inferiority complex.
  • cannavaro and grosso almost certainly wont play.
    Amauri should break his duck in this game.
    Camo should start, but wont last the match.
  • Calisi
    Mitar, I've read that Cannavaro is out for approximately 20 days, maybe alessio can confirm if this is correct. I think the rest should be playing.
  • Mitar
    Hey guys,i have a question.Will Camoranesi,Amauri,Grosso and Cannavaro start against Livorno?I bought them in my fantasy team :)
  • Juve Bob
    Honestly I didn't enjoy seeing Caceres in the centre. As soon as Canna was subbed off for Zebina and Caceres moved to the centre Bordeuax had one of their biggest chances. That would have been a goal had it not been for Buffon. And I have to say Caceres was to blame for that.
    I find him better suited as a full back, his crosses are definitely better than Grygera's and he seems determined enough to be a hard worker. I hope we buy him outright.
  • Robee
    I think Moggi is absolutely right when he says we will not be having European succes this year, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try and at least do better than last year, let's say quarter finals.

    I think our team is bigger compared to last year, but we still don't have the depth of inter; and especially in our midfield this shows. We can't bench Melo or we're in trouble, Diego out the same. Marchisio is already indispensable and I'm not even talking about defence where Chiellini and Cannavaro are the only two players of that level...

    That's why I think we still need quite a few changes before we can truly live up to our reputation. Poulsen had really got to go, and Tiago can follow him if you ask me, he's better, but nothing more than average. We need 2 D'Agostino-like players instead siding Melo. We need a world class striker and a gifted right back so that we can put Caceres in the centre, where he belongs.
    And for fuck sake, plz bring Criscito back as well, that guy is a gift from heaven.

    But then again, I really think we can go and will go all the way in the championship. With Diego we have someone who can really make a difference when the team is dominant and I don't think we will spoil many unnecessary points in the league, since our defence has also grown and Buffon is in Superman shape. All we have to get is put down the same determination we did for about three weeks now, and be a bit lucky on injuries of course.

    Btw, I don't know about you guys, but I'm really curious to see what Sissoko can mean for this team. I think he can put our recuperation on a higher level and if Ferrara gets it in his head to just easily deliver the ball to Giovinco/Diego, we will be golden.
