Video of the Day: Il nuovo portiere- our new goalkeeper.

i think the game against siena was a case of just plain not giving a shit. look at it in the case of players like buffon and camoranesi, they have suffered injuries this season and now that we have secured a CL spot they should be rested because they also have the euros to play. also this period could be used to play players that havent played much; palladino, iaquinta, belardi, stendardo. the players who got us this far deserve a rest. except del piero and trezeguet, they still have some work to do, ie. joint top scorers

i think that when we play big teams we rise to the occasion and play at their level and when we play against bottom teams we think we can get away with playing at their level and we end up screwing ourselves over. its sad because we have seen amazing football from juve in the past weeks

i blame the first, in this case.

Winning against the top teams is great but....losing to the bottom teams is either a) lack of motivation b) poor coaching

i just watched the game on delay (sunday morning- 8am? pain in the ass) and we were pretty lackluster but i'm not too worried. deb, this performance should worry you about the scudetto, because its made of beating the small teams. im not concerned about the CL, look at our record in big games- 3-3-0. better than anyone else.

feelings on the fact that milan is now in the CL spot? im disappointed. i dont hate milan, but id like to see fiorentina get in it even if there's a distinct possibility of them imploding in the group stage. vary it up a little bit.

i hope roma wins lo scudetto because i mena watching the inter match today they really didn't look like they were fighting for the scudetto. they don't deserve it.

this game proves my point, we need to strengthen our defence! we don't need amauri we need a champion defender!!!!

Well. That was pathetic. It's crappy performances like these that have me worried we're going to be turfed out of the CL qualifiers by... oh I don't know. Some random Russian team maybe.

Molinaro needs to be pushed under the team bus along with Secco.

On the plus side, Inter lost the derby!! Roma could still pip them to the scudetto. Ha.

I hope we can at least tie this match up. I really dont wanna lose to siena

First Half Siena 1 - Juventus 0: 6' Kharja

What a terrible goal that was. After a scrum infront of out 18 yard box, where Chiellini and Co. failed to clear the damn ball, Kharja hit a fucking looper over gigi.

Juve's all over them, as expected, but of course after their goal Siena's parked the bus in defense. If we can crack them early second half, our second won't be far behind.

FORZA JUVE!!!

Juve down 1-0 at half time!!! What happened to Ale and T-rez?

i'm excited to watch de ceglie....and since 2nd place is probably out of reach, all i want is for del piero and trez to be joint capocannonieri :)

if they were tied on the last match day, do you think the two wouldn't choose to score?

SIENA V. JUVENTUS 1400GMT, 9am EST
=============
Serie A's in-form team, Juve, travel to Tuscany to take on Siena, who have been a revelation in the Ritorno. In 13th place with 39 points, Siena's safety assured. Capocannonieri hopefuls Del Piero and Trezeguet will look to add to their tally, while Siena left-back Paolo De Ceglie will try and impress Juve, his youth team and contract owner. FORZA JUVE!

i think criscito doesnt want to come back to juve just yet. he still wants to mature and improve, juve isnt the place for him to do it.

RyanJ, I sort of understand. It's going to be hard to get a top class goalkeeper to sit on the bench, unless he's utterly unambitious like Cudicini. I think Belardi did fine and could do fine in the CL, especially for someone who doesn't get regular playing time. I'd like for him to play Coppa games to be in shape.

Besides, that's all besides the point. If Buffon gets injured (God forbid) that's something we need to take into consideration. But I'd rather get some solid defenders so we could all feel comfortable with someone like Belardi between the sticks.

RyanJ, no one knows for sure, but the rumor is that both Marchisio and Giovinco will be wearing bianconero next year, along with Paolo de Ceglie. Criscito is a big question, I have no idea given his recent outburst and love for Genoa.

alessio secco has gotten into a moped accident and is now in the hospital with a fractured rib.

Alessio, ditto on Ryan. There is no way we can compete in the CL with Emanuele Belardi. No offense to him, he did okay when called into action in Serie A but a team with Juve's ambitions can surely do better.

Last I heard, Gigi Buffon was strongly pushing towards Antonio Chimenti's return.

Alessio, the only logical explanation is that Juve will be challenging for more thropies next season, namely CL, Italian cup, and the Scudetto. It would be great for the team to not lose its level of play if first team players become injured. I'm looking forward to next season, especially if we land Amauri. Oh, does anyone know the situation on that? Also, does anyone know if Giovinco is going to play for the Old Lady next season, or even be on the bench?

while on the subject, why does juve seem hell bent on beefing up positions we are ok in? i keep seeing these notes about cudicini, now schwartzer to play 2nd string keeper. i thought belardi did fine when called upon.

hahaha we should try Ale in net that would be funny:) the only problem is that the net is about 10000000000000x larger than little Ale!!!

haha yea edgar i heard about that. his mom didnt want him to get hurt as a boy so she wanted him to play goalie so he would less likely get injured. also i heard buffon started out as a midfielder. thats ironic, our best attacker started as a goalie and the best goalie ever started as a midfielder.

del piero used to play Goalkeeper for his local youth team AC San Vendemiano
