lost chances for The Old Lady of Turin...


What can be said, am I sad yes of course, but I accept it was their own fault. Juventus could have been more comfortable if they had not drawn all their matches! I am a little frustrated because so many of their other matches they let the lead slip, so now this is the result, out of Europe.


One could argue that the match should never have been played to begin with, everyone knew what the condition were going to be like, so why didn't they postpone it, it was unsafe and they couldn't control the ball because they couldn't stay on their feet, not only that but in the first half, you couldn't see the ball because it was white!! Plus the wing was making the ball fly in different directions thus making it harder to predict where it'll end up. Juve had injury problems to begin with and no doubt, they were be cautious so not to add to the list, and with the icy conditions any injuries would be times 10.


Krasic was maybe the best player for Juve, and that could be because he used to play for CSKA Moscow, so he was used to these kind of conditions. But the problem lies with the small fact that no other players can keep up with Krasic. Now that's good when trying to get away but when your own players can't keep up, it becomes hard to get a shot on goal. Too often would you see Krasic bombing forward and he puts in a perfect cross but then the forward are not there or arrive late!! Juventus need to work on this if they want to be the competitive force they used to be.
