I’m actually going to write up a Gio post.

definitely Alessio, i wouldnt mind seeing him playing abroad, especially in England where its less defensive……his speed would torture any team there

Yeah I’d tend to agree HolyMann. Not for the Azzurri though, after the way they sold us down the river in ‘06 I’m less concerned with their use of Gio as much as I just want to see him fulfill his potential, with or without Juve

(but preferably not with one of our rivals)

if Ferrara doesnt want to play Giovinco, and if he stays our coach next year, then fuck it…..i say include Giovinco in a deal to bring a top class striker….i hate myself for saying this, but if the kid isnt gonna get a chance, then its better for him to get some playing time else where….

What I have noticed in our games so far is that Iaquinta gets in the way of Amauri quite a bit. Yesterday he touched a couple balls that prevented Amauri from scoring, I see that as the main problem in our formation. When Del Piero plays he passed the ball to Trezeguet, Iaquinta, Amauri and let them score goals. Having two strikers is preventing us from being more dangerous and cynical. We need Giovinco playing instead of either Iaquinta or Amauri. If Ferrara doesn’t think so then we better hope our captain starts feeling better soon or it is going to be a long season.

On a different note, I really love this blog. I feel so much better after moaning here for the last two days. Keep the good work Alessio and Roberto, you will save us lots of money in antidepressants.

HolyMann, I do think Inter will lose more points than last season for the following reasons:
- Etoo (who is a very good striker), will be out for African Cup.
- Milito (who is also a very good striker), will miss some games due to injuries.
- They don’t have other very good strikers (Balotelli has potential, but he is not there yet).

Someone may argue they played without Etoo and Milito against Genoa and they scored 5 times, but if the same someone sees their goals he/she will know that game was one of a kind. I mean, Cambiaso’s goal was actually a Genoa own goal, and Stankovic’s goal (which was classy by the way) came because Amelia did one of those things that make goalkeeper become defenders at the age of 15… he can’t do such an stupidity again in his lifetime. And geona got nervous.

So, the question for me is: are we ready to take advantage of the points inter will lose this season? If Ferrara keep doing things like the last few matches, then we are screwed.

I do think Ferrara is a smart guy (or I want to think, at least). It’s ok if he makes mistakes because of inexperience (I mean, not OK, but understandable), but he should learn from those mistakes and quickly (not exactly what he has been doing lately), if he want to finish the season as a Juventus coach.

hey guys lets keep faith in ciro for a while more, actually i dont think the team played particularly well since the start of the season, we are not that dominant in our play yet, i think the players are still getting used to each other and the system. even diego first goal was a mistake by the roma player (couldnt remember who), against lazio we leave it quite late to score, just hope the team finds the right chemistry before inter run aways with the scudetto, but well the season is still early and the title race is still open.

Juventus Shirts…..one thing thats actually scary is can Inter actually slip up for us to regain these lost points?? and if they do, will juve be able to stay consistent??

sorry for the pessimism, but by looking at what has happened in the past few years, i can only see grey clouds ahead of us…..these 2 months that have past are no different than the ones spent with Ranieri last season…..actually, our squad is supposed to be superior this time around!!!

and although i despise goal.com, seeing an article like the one below gave me a disgusting feeling at the pit of my stomach….

this is not the Juve we know!!!
