    Pirlo on a deflected free kick, off Biabiany which was lucky because it was way off target. 1-0

    Yeah. It looked like it was deflected but either way, Pirlo has a magic touch on free kicks!

    Best Italian I ever saw hit these....beautiful!

    Vucinic just stands there and let's Parma take the ball, nice pass and Caceres is beaten... AGAIN, and Parma ties it up. The left side is sorely missing Chiellini. Caceres can bitch all he wants, his play today warrants his benching.

    De Ceglie and Caceres on the left side. Provincial. Just like last week, poor managing by Conte.

    He always plays the same way... I thought though that Vucinic was injured and out for 3 months for some reason?

    Juve haven't scored in open play in the last two games. Definitely no striker problem.

    1 point out of 6, there goes that 8 point lead. And this is against Sampdoria and Parma. Pathetic is the only way to describe this. Napoli and Lazio both won. What was an 8 point lead 8 days ago is now a whopping 3. Next week is Udinese, we could be level on points this time next week.

    I look forward to the excuses.

    I think most of us realized long ago that the left side has always been our #1 problem ever since Zambrotta left. That was 7 years ago.

    When we lost last week a draw this week is a bad result. That's 7 dropped points.

    Considering how poorly the team played as well it's cause for concern. But hey Conte is content so I guess we should be too.

    Chiellini has been an adequate replacement. This team is suffering without him.

    Today's blame goes to Vucinic although Conte took it as he claims to have called the dummy. We got beat on a counter because we gave away possession at midfield. It had nothing to do with the left side.

    Never mind the fact that Caceres was made to look like a fool. He was caught out many times today and dropping in PDC didn't help either. Last week Peluso was atrociously bad, guess where he plays...

    But then again we don't have a forward problem either.

    I have to agree Vucinic gave the ball away and it was a fast break on the counter. We were stretched out.

    Exactly. So why do some of you insist in trying to live it?

    Because in fantasy land we support a team that buys players we've been sorely lacking for a couple seasons, or quality players for other positions we've needed as well. Sadly we tend to buy more provincial players in reality. The true quality is far and few when it comes to finding the players we really need.

    Then again there are those that tend to believe good strikers aren't out there.
