Amsterdam in Torino

a football career is fragile, just hope he can make a speedy recovery, but sad to say he will almost certainly lost something, like being more injury prone, unable to fully fulfill his potential (touch wood, hopefully not), etc,

our own ADP is the best example, i heard he never get back his pre-udinese form, he's still a legend for us though...but of course there is van nistenrooy, i think he successfully return to form, just look at the goals he scored for man utd, he's the only the exception...

This weekend's football already feels shadowed by what happened to Ramsey. One of the brightest talents in the world - now may not play again (although it's likely he will). Makes me sick to my stomach

Thank you, Comrade!! *See* you at the game.

Blanda: I refer to Serie A on ESPN Soccernet. Tomorrow's game is 14:45 ET.

What time is the Palermo game happening in what time zone? It's not on ESPN 360. I need to be able to figure out the time difference so I can watch it, and where can I watch it? I don't wanna miss this one. Please help a sister out!

de ceglie for upcoming call up?

Immobile or Paolucci. But Trez will def. play. Either of them will come on if he plays crap. Let's give Trez a break pls. He's not long returned from injury. I doubt if even Iaquinta will start banging in the goals as soon as he returns.

The fixtures are kind to us this week, at least: Napoli host Roma, while Sampdoria have a potentially tricky away game at Parma... but most importantly we have this chance to put four points between us and Palermo. We have to take it.

...and LOL at Al's comment about Amauri earning a month off after his scoring streak!

Our injured list is starting to look like our starting 11 lineup. The cold cannot be helping at all. I wonder if during their 1/2 time talk their muscles get so cold that are more prone to injury in 2nd 1/2? Don't know... never played in that kind of weather. Holy smokes at being only a point ahead of 5th, 6th, and 7th place. Too close for comfort. We HAVE to win the rest of our games.

At this point, I'd even train at Appiano Gentile with Intermerda. Anything but this cursed #$&#*#*@ injury freakfest we have.

alessio: no shit we're in the green. Our management won't fork out the dough for Hiddink, we're bound to save bucks. Not that I'm complaining of Zac, but just saying: being cheap has its advantages.

Who knows. Amauri strained his thigh, but it was at the Olimpico.

This is why Blanc should stay-

I think even Chiellini said that the conditions in Vinovo are not helping the injury crisis. When will the management learn?

VINOVO, a cursed place...

God, it is frustrating though. When Iaquinta was getting in form - he got injured. Now Amauri was finally playing well - and he is injured.

Immobile should get 20 minutes against Palermo, Trezegol played the whole game against Ajax basically.

WTF is up with Giovinco & Poulsen? How hard is it to stay healthy when you are not playing?

is there any credence to what giorgio said about the training grounds in vinovo? he said in his twitchat that the mixture of cold weather and humidity lead to a lot of muscular problems. youd think that a team like juve could afford a trainer to keep the players loose and stretched. at least this time, its only amauri

al: You made me spit my water out. LOL.

Giovinco,caceres,amauri,iaquinta,buffon,marchisio,poulson--out

does anyone know if iaquinta is training at all? I have a feeling it will still be alex and trez, with palouschi coming in at some point.

Camo will probably feature but will be replacEd with brazzo or vice versa.

Fuck that sucks, Amauri is out and Trezeguet is completely out of form. He shouldn't start games, at the most get the last 10-15 minutes of each. Those who saw him play yesterday would agree cuz he played poorly. I think this is probably the best time to play either Paolusci or Inmobile.

Alastair and Jorid, that is understandable. He has scored 3 goals. Hence, he needs break. A month for 3 goal sounds fair to me.

Wtf! Anybody know what the number of our injuries is up to now? I think it should be right about 50-51? Unbelievable.

Amauri out for a month. Thank God Trez is back, and maybe Immobile and Paolucci will actually get to play a few minutes this season.

You guys cost me £140.oo last night .. I guess i should have assumed a draw would happen since juve didnt have to win .. but i didnt see anything for us to fear. Team looked fatigued and manniger has butter fingers See ya at the weekend juventinos.

well we played pretty well, just didnt score, palermo next!

Yeah agreed no need to buy one, stay with PDC and let him develop still has plenty of time, pity he isint realy for the 2010 World Cup, if only he started at the start of the season.

DJP: More or less it says:

After having discarded Molinaro(starter last season who later on moved to Stuttgart, now playing in the C.L) and having discovered all of Grosso's weaknesses throughout the year, for the left wing, Zac's Juve finally seems to have found a response to its problems. The solution was always readily available: PDC from Aosta-he runs, crosses well and covers defensively like a real quality full back.

Translation?

De Ceglie: Dopo aver scaricato Molinaro -titolare l’anno scorso, poi accantonato- allo Stoccarda (dove gioca la Champions) e aver scoperto tutte le pecche di Grosso, per la fascia sinistra la Juventus di Zac ha trovato la risposta che aveva in casa da sempre: Paolo De Ceglie da Aosta. Corre, crossa bene e chiude in difesa come un terzino di stoffa pregiata. Furia Cavallo del West! Voto 6.5

Goal.com(IT)'s rating for De Ceglie this game. I like the description. :)

He is tiring Marchisio. Won't these people ever learn? The guy can't stand so many games. Of course ADP is even worse in that aspect, but he could do something about it.

@ Comrade. I too hope for the former

The boys seemed tired today. They ll need to sort themselves out for palermo. Miccoli and co will be knocking at buffon/mannigers door.

One notable thing. I like this formation because it's like it adds a second layer of defense but then can be easily switched to attack mode. If the back 3 hold their line it is really tight.

Either that or he lacks a killer instinct. I'm hoping for the former.

I am pretty sure Zac asked the team to take their foot off the pedal since Ajax looked like they wouldn't score even if they had another 90 minutes. He had Palermo in mind and I agree with him

I wasn't able to see this one (had to go out), but it sounds like we got the result in reasonably efficient fashion, didn't completely kill ourselves ahead of Palermo, and kept a clean sheet.

Not too shabby, although you'd hope we show more killer instinct at home against Fulham.

Ack... not watch again, but watch the replay since I missed it.

Should I pay $1.99 to watch again? Yay for a clean sheet!

I'm super happy that we kept a clean sheet.

Second half was pretty dull from a Juventus standpoint, imo.

So I missed the last 60 minutes because work avalanched out of nowhere and I was busy as shit. Worth rewatching, or no?
