On the final day of the season, Juve managed to produce a high level performance to crush Bologna 1-4, which due to Napoli’s failure to defeat Verona, raised us into…
One of our most solid performances of the season came at the right time…for the coppa italia at least. Both sides came out the blocks eager, with Atalanta doing most…
A welcome result at a critical time which keeps us in the running for a top four spot with just two games remaining. It would be madness to suggest we…
I was shocked to find the starting line-up announced. My mind confused, unable to make any sense in what appeared a proper formation absent of any players obviously out of…
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result” PRE-MATCH Well, where to begin? Pretty much the entire build up to…
A decent first half showing with Ronaldo capitalizing on some appalling defending for a well taken hatrick and 0-3 lead at the break. Unfortunately, we emerged from the changing rooms…
After an hour of listless, uncoordinated failure to string even three passes together in the final third, Pirlo offered evidence that he may still have the solutions to the problems,…
I am unsurprised to find the press asking more questions of Pirlo’s selection and system. They echo the bother a fair few of us have held since the season begun.…
A fairly business-like performance, spurning far more chances than we converted, saw us run out easy winners in the easiest fixture we will face this season. Ronaldo was in fine…
After a first half which saw Inter spurn a few good chances and Juve create very little, the home side settled in the second period, ran a few risks yet…
No surprise to find us well beaten by a well built side who are far from an elite team but have a system which fits their natural talents, and are…
In brief… Decent game to watch, with both sides eager and hungry. Chiesa seemed the star of the show till hooked off, and yet despite the concerns over the odd…
It would be wrong to write that we laboured to the welcome 3 points, as this was a fairly comprehensive victory. Yet I would feel equally false if I were…
I judge a manager, whatever his level of experience, mainly on how many of our players are performing near their best. Since the start of the season I have seen…
Buffon – Little to do, but dealt with all but the deflected goal comfortably. 6 Bonucci – Fairly solid, showed good reading of the game and allowed no clear opportunities…
Szczeseny – Perhaps could have done better on the goal yet it was hit with some power. Distribution sloppy to poor throughout. 5.5 Bonucci – Held the rearguard line well…
Szczesny – Only had one half serious save to make in the whole 93 minutes of game time, dealt with everything else with ease. 6 Chiellini – I expected to…
Player ratings Buffon – Was vital in making a save late in the first half and could do little more than he tried for the penalty. A calming presence at…
After the nervous excitement of Pirlo’s debut on the bench, on any bench to be fair, in the 3-0 drubbing of Sampdoria last week, we were brought back down to…
How bizarre a feeling prior to the whistle was blown and first flurry of passes connected! Somehow unable to shake that ludicrous notion that the complete absence of any managerial…
