    i just watched most of this game and I am a Juventus fan. it was a great performance by juve but it was unfortunate that they couldn't put their dominance of possession and shots count. I was extremely impressed by the "Atomic Ant", I never thought he would've performed they way he did! i just can't wait until Giovinco becomes a regular in this juve side. He is the kind of playmaking plyer Juventus have lacked for year and hopefully he gets more of a chance to prove himself in the black and white colours. Marchisio as well impressed me with his passing, especially that through ball to Giovinco. Amauri has been special, he has a great dribbling and techinical abitly. His pace and his power in the air makes him the perfect forward. hopefully he continues his form. Forza Juventus!!

    I didnt watch the match. But from what I gathered we played well and were unlucky. The "small" teams always seem to either step it up against us or just get lucky.
    I also read ADP took the free kicks. Maybe if Giovinco took them this would have ended differently...
    Or not. We seem to have a jinx against Catania

    I just finished watching it on ESPN360....very disappointing of course, that's 2 dropped points and these are the kind of games we have to win.

    But jesus christ guys, what is in Inter's water and why can't we get any of it? Facing Catania at home, they got lucky as shit to pull 3 points out. Same situation, we were horribly unlucky. Great goalkeeping from their keeper and how many goddamned crossbars did we hit?
  • jesusfuckingchrist... heads must roll! A top club can't lose at home to these guys. Disgraceful!

    ADP and Giovinco should always play together...they can decimate any defence with their creativity...
  • John
    Adam sorry :)
  • John
    Alessio, Del Piero should play 'till his legs fall off.
  • adam
    Anyone else think that Amauri and Del Piero should be are starting strikers, even after Trez is back?
  • adam
    Chiellini and Leggro had horrible games.

    Marchisio held up the ball pretty good but his short passes are bad.

    Giovinco was fuckin amazing it took him a while to get in the game but the second half was all him and ADP.
  • John
    hmmmm. Annoying really, two points dropped, Milan and Inter winning. Not to worry though, The Milanese play eachother this weekend so there is two points dropped by one of 'em :)
  • alessandro d'agostino
    tiago on for marchisio and giovinco off you wont win anything with ranieri in charge his substitutions are terrible
  • Tom
    unreal...
  • MIkeDG
    how many posts are we going to hit this game?
  • Tom
    unbelievable...2 crossbars...unlucky...
  • agiamba
    Uhy, hit the crossbar twice. Let's capitalize on these!
  • John
    1-1 :S

    From Eurosport- "Credit ought to be given to Juve's defence, who are enjoying a solid night so far. Catania's frequent forays into the Juve half are being frustrated by some strong defending from all the Juve rearguard."
  • Giro
    Giovinco to Amauri can be the a big trend this year
  • MIkeDG
    Yeah, Marchionni's making some mistakes outthere, but he'll settle down the next half i think.

    IM FKN LOVIN THE SEBA SHOW. Every pass needs to go to him.

    From Eurosport- "Now Juve are getting into their groove, with some delightful cross-field passes. The crowd is loving it."
  • agiamba
    3rd consecutive game with a goal. I wonder what the record is, because it doesn't seem he's stopping anytime soon.
  • agiamba
    GOAL!!!

    From Eurosport- "GOAL! JUVE! AMAURI! The lively Giovinco crosses brilliantly from the left flank and Brazilian Amauri heads superbly from a few yards out. Catania keeper Bizzarri dives to his right but can do little to stop that one. 1-0 to Juve."
  • Amauri is a beast. Already scores. Capocannoniere? lol
  • Tom
    Assist #1 for Giovinco...
