Empoli are in their worst form, losing home and away for the last 4 matches, they are in 18th position, 1 point under the safety zone, they don't want to lose more points, with Ex-Juventini out there, Marchisio and Giovinco it won't be that easy to beat them as it looks, they play it offensive, If our defense play it carefully, we can win it easily, as it is not that hard to score against them, but the bad news is, we will have to play Inter 4 days later, and we might not play with full squad for that, I just hope Ranieri doesn't think about Inter before the Empoli match, we can't lose points against Empoli, since we probably lose points against Inter.

1) Do we have players on caution that can miss the Inter game if they're booked?

2) Anyone got links for the game that don't involve downloading programmes like Sopcast or TVAnts?

Trezeguet can miss Inter game if he gets yellow. I would absolutely hate to face them without Le Roi.

 

[Nero]

Trezz could be rested, Iaquinta may very likely get the start against Empoli.

Juventus Empoli 11-2

I'm expecting this match to be more difficult than expected. Playing against teams fighting for Serie A survival is dangerous and we shouldn't underestimate those teams. Empoli have lost many consecutive games now and want to make up for that. Marchisio and Giovinco would want to impress Juve too.

Glad that Camoranesi is back and he will definetly slot straight into right of midfield but Im not sure about Nocerino. Maybe Tiago deserves another start? Also, Legrottaglie is back but I was impressed with Stetandro and want to see more of him. Maybe he can partner Legro and Chiellini move to LB.

Winning this match will keep the distance with Fiorentina and Milan. Fiorentina play against Napoli with Massimo Gobbi suspended and Martin Jorgensen and Alessandro Gamberini injured.

Maybe? I am critical of Tiago in not proving himself in games (and being ridicolously overhyped for doing nothing), but aslong as Zanetti is out he should partner Momo.

Nocerino isnt needed to huff and puff when Momo can do the work for two players, and Tiago is better then Nocerino in anything else.

Just wondering. Would you rather like to see Tiago leave in the summer? :neutral:

 

[Osman]

Depends on the offer. And if we get a new coach that might shape Tiago better mentally and play a formation that would suit him better (even if it stays the same, if there is no good offer, he can remain a good squad player).

But in general, I wouldnt care if he left based on what he has shown. Tough luck for him, but despite the little he has played, has shown nothing whenever he is on the pitch. Proof of that him just doing a normal pass or shot makes Juventini say he was very good or great, that shows he usually does nothing and been anonymous in games.

Any links for the game? ESPN is showing Inter - Genoa live.

Slow paced match with limited chances.

Good thing that Milan and Fiorentina are BOTH 2 goals down against Doria and Napoli respectively

[Nero]

Thanks for the link, Oz. Works great.
