QUOTE (Jack Bauer @ Mar 20 2012, 11:18 PM)  Well, we gave all we could and did beat them in 90 min with this - hardly our best - line up. We basically played the backups of our backups, Antonini on the right Seedorf in the center, no real DM... A total mess yet we still managed to beat them and take them to extra time (Pirlo, Marchisio, Vidal, Chiellini, etc) wasting so much energy. While our only real starters for most of the game was Silva, Mexes and Antonini out of position, as Aqui was only given a run out, same goes for Ibra who was sick (should have saved him for later in the game imo)

QUOTE (Zed.D @ Mar 20 2012, 11:20 PM)  Give me the Scudetto and I'd gladly let them have the Coppa (IMG: style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) They still have to actually beat another team, this wasn't the final... They can take the Inter Cup, but today showed our real strength imo, they only really rested Marchisio and still had to bring him on.

Forza Pippo For me, I knew that Allegri had probably given up on the game the moment he brought Pippo on.

We played really bad, and those two goals came out of nowhere. That's the general picture. However, if you consider we managed to beat Juventus playing their best line-up at their home turf with our reserves, then it's mind blowing. Seriously, a big bravo to the boys! This was never about quality, but sheer determination and will. Now if we'd actually passed...
Two remarks, about Seedorf and Inzaghi. I've never seen two players so out of shape and completely hopeless. At some point, it was like we were playing with 9 men. If people wondered why Allegri never plays Inzaghi, you got the answer. It was embarrassing.

If people wondered why Allegri never plays Inzaghi, you got the answer. It was embarrassing. Agreed. Aquilani wasn't ready just yet for that intensity which is why imo, he should have been played in the easier games against Parma and Lecce. Now he has to get back into the swing of things against Roma and Barca. Seedorf was bad but he's just retured from an injury so I'll give him some time as he could prove very useful in the upcoming weeks. Muntari and Mesbah... Where do I begin with these 2. That first goal was solely down to Mesbah. He has the ball in acres of space and all he had to do was clear, instead what does he do? He runs sideways to the touchline for some unkown reason and totally gets himself in a whole lot of sh!t. Loses the ball and we conceed as a result. Muntari is just a clumsy idiot on the pitch, he can't even complete a 1 meter pass without losing it, and don't get me started on the stupidity shown after he received that yellow, he actually grabbed the ref and turned him around by the arm after just being booked. QUOTE (amancik @ Mar 21 2012, 07:42 AM)  I agree with Allegri. I think there was nothing more we could've done. With the injuries that we have, and Roma and Barca coming up, you can't blame anyone. I don't really have any complaints regarding the match. We battled till the end but just came up short. Agreed. We played our C team literally, aside from Mexes and Silva everyone was either the backup to the backups or played out of position. We played badly yet still handed Juve their first defeat of the season while they were playing their first 11 minus Buffon and Marchisio (who still had to come on fairly early) The only regret is that we took it to extra time for nothing. But at least we took it to extra time with our reserves, not with the first team (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) QUOTE (acid911 @ Mar 21 2012, 08:49 AM)  We practically lost the tie in the first leg. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) And the moment Del Piero scored the first one in this match. Agreed, all the damage was done in the 1st leg when Ambro practically set up Caceras with the seond goal

QUOTE (Danny @ Mar 21 2012, 05:07 PM)  Rip roaring match but Juve have had the edge this season over us and it continues. We did remarkably to win 2-1 in normal time, but the total lethargy and lack of passion in extra time was scandalous - Allegri barely looked interested while Conte was geeing up everyone - Juve wanted it more and while the winner was a screamer, we didn't manage a single shot in ET.
I've not read the thread so sorry if I'm repeating what's been said already, but I was very, very disappointed with the outcome last night. Allegri was shown furious at times...he has a calm character,I like that about him.Just see his reactions when scoring against Arsenal.Also,we didn't lack passion,we were simply too tired,we had half of the team coming back from injury,thiago silva playing all the time.Basically,the only one who was truly ready and doing well was Mexes.

I've not read the thread so sorry if I'm repeating what's been said already, but I was very, very disappointed with the outcome last night. Having beaten them in 90 minutes showed that they don't have the upper hand, we were awful in the first game in the league and in the 1st leg of the Coppa, but we showed in the San Siro that we are better than they are and last night with our third team basically out there, an entire mess with Seedorf playing as the DM, Antonini at RB, Ibra practically playing a half with the flu, we still beat them, while they put out their first team. When it went to extra time Juve showed they wanted it more, agreed, but we have our eyes on a bigger prize. And if giving them a shot at the Coppa means we'll win the Serie A and put up a great fight against Barca than so be it. They can have the Inter cup for all I care. I'm more than happy to have beat them in the circumstances we are in. As for Conte and Allegri, Conte is a clown. Allegri is not one to jump around like an idiot or whine like a little b!tch when things don't go his way
