Ok, so here's the rematch. Unfortunately some of us are stuck here at work and have to go by UEFA's pbp, thankfully I'm TiVoing it. Here are the lineups: Juventus Buffon Ferrara Montero Conte Nedved Camoranesi Trezeguet Di Vaio Zambrotta Thuram Davids Man U Barthez Gary Neville Philip Neville Verón Ferdinand Beckham Butt Keane Solskjær Forlán O'Shea
Hello again, I am getting the feeling I should have staying in bed again. We can not get a decent break. I can barely believe we can't put it in the back of the net. We keep conceeding easy goals and putting the pressure on ourselves. Giggs cut us to shreds on that last goal. Poor pass from Conte cut off and run from half way into the box. We need to score quickly in the second half to put a little pressure back on Man Utd. Geez we look toothless without Del Piero. Ok Trez did have a penalty and quite frankly Man Utd could have had a number of calls for handball given. We can't get an even break like I said. This is giving me an ulcer. Lets hope for some second half magic.
Juveseem to playing Barsy's because they only seem to be able to hit the woodwork. Dante the decision about the penalty was a good one. Shame realy because i respected Juve alot more after their performance last week, but now i just want to see them get hammerd.
oh and we have to play to the Whistle..... waiting for the call against Veron cost us the first goal... Zambrotta slipped (helped over?) in front of Veron. Players in the middle waiting for the call were left flat footed.
I wish Juve would ************ up more like this in Italy. How Juve havnt scored Im not sure - but the goals conceeded - Jesus christ. Zambrotta triped over the ball, 10 seconds after Juve should have been 1-0 up after hitting the upright - then Conte, what an absolute mess of a pass. Good game tho - especially when I can watch it in the knowledge Milan are thru!
Lucky deflection from Buffon to save the 3-0 Man Utd give up the ball from the resultant corner kick. A bit of luck? No... Ferrara taken out by a high Thuram boot in the head.
Ferrara still getting treatment off the park... Tudor chests the ball backwards into the upright... Buffon dives and Van Nist scores the easy tap in... 3-0
Ferrara back on with the Head Mesh alla Coco in the World cup finals last year. I might go back to bed.
Last weeks performance was vastly superior... A world of difference between Last weeks game and this weak game.
You guys have put in a dead set shocker today. Man U didnt score any goals today, Juve gave them all 3 - pure gifts. In all honesy - at professional level, I think Tudors effort was the worst peice of defending i have EVER seen. It has to be. I would have done better. That, I have no doubt.
I wish I could dissagree with you RN... A disgrace today all round. But... what a difference a goal makes.. Man U have learned to do what we did so well in the past. Score the first gola then strangle the game out. Score on the rebound when the opposition is pushing forward.... Our ineptness in defense today (and in midfield....and might as well toss in attack as well) just helped their cause.
Thank god thats over... We still have our future in our own hands... On even points with deportivo now.
Ugh.....utterly disgraceful defending. They marred the great Juve rep for defense. Tough games against Deportivo and at Basel next. Don't write Basel off, we thrashed them at home, but they have proven difficult at their place, beating Depor and Liverpool (who are ************ though..). Congrats to man u, but if we see you in the quarters, don't expect another easy ride. Will ADP be back for the Depor clash.
Lippi: This is not the real Juve Marcello Lippi was left cursing his luck after a performance in which everything that could go wrong did. http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/feb25l.html
