The Shoutbox – Special ‘Grudge Week’ Edition – By Fans. For Fans. (Mar 19-25th)

March 19, 2012

March 19, 2012

The Shoutbox – By Fans, For Fans is your all-week open Juve-debate, no restrictions, no boundaries. Share what you want, say what you want, and face the diverse music of the global choir of Juventini! We want to hear your thoughts on all things Black & White! The idea behind The Shoutbox is that YOU direct the conversation. So bring it on!

Busy, busy, busy week! After the 5-0 demolition of Fiorentina Saturday, Juventus Stadium will host both teams from Milano in the same week.

Sunday the snakes come to visit as Juventus play the role of “warm and generous host” to welcome a bleeding and half-dead Inter Milan. Should be fun! But first up are an in-form and very strong AC Milan visiting Tuesday, for the second leg of the TIM Cup Coppa Italia Semi-Final. Juventus enter that fixture with a 2-1 advantage, thanks to one Mr. MARTIN CÁCERES…

JuventiKNOWS.com will have a match preview and TeamEATS for the Inter match plus other great content throughout the week, but we won’t preview tomorrow’s Coppa Italia match this time.

Instead, we want to use The Shoutbox to hear your voice.

Was the 5-0 K.O. of Fiorentina proof enough that Juventus are over their goal drought?

Any Viola players you’d like to see at Juve next year? How about that guy Amauri? He did ok…

Can anyone remember a more tense & exciting atmosphere surrounding a Coppa Italia match?

What’s your preferred starting eleven and formation this week?

Can you find Vidal in the club, bottle full of bub? (go Bonucci, it’s your birthday…)

Voice your opinions, your concerns, and your expectations!

RANTING is not only permitted, but highly recommended. Because here at The Shoutbox anything goes, as long you just…

1. No, peeps that read comments know how i feel about this, and from the reactions, i wasn’t the only one.
2. If we’re gonna convert any more purple pills it should be jovetic, not vargas (unless we exchange him for krasic/pepe/not alot of euros) or montolivo (unless we exchange him for not alot of euros)
3. not gon touch that one.
4. Buffon/Licht-Bonucci-Caceres-Chiellini/MVP/MVP

I just posted this on the previous Shoutbox, but as it’s gone now I’ll repost it:

I’m traveling to Turin with a friend on the weekend of the last game of
the season, against Atalanta (13th May). Hopefully we’ll be able to get
tickets to the match! If someone can recommend any (cheap) decent hotels
in the city, I’d be grateful!

  i have no recommendations, sadly, but i’m really jealous; sounds like a great trip!
  would love for you to share pics / stories afterwards

Heard Conte is starting Del Piero tomorrow. I hope I speak for many, if not all, Juventinos when I say: FORZA MAGICA ALEX!!! I hope he destroys Milan tomorrow, and proves for the millionth time that he will always be a maestro and fuoriclasse.

He’s suffered so much this year, and in my opinioin, incredibly unjustly. He’s sat on the bench as inferior players started over him, failed, and were rewarded. And throughout it all, he’s said not ONE bad word against Conte or anyone else, never complained. He is class personified.

Bocca al lupo ADP, sempre il mio capitano!
Forza Juve!

  Would love for ADP to score on a free kick today to win the match

1. Nope, not proof enough , a few more matches like that , then we can say we are over the hump.

2. How about Montlivo , he is going to be a free agent in the summer. Amauri would be an excellent addition.

3. 4-3-3 , Storari : Lich-Cac-Bonbon-Esti : giach-vidal-pirlo : adp-boriello-quag

In Conte I trust.

  amauri? excellent addition? bwahahaha

  Montolivo has comitted to Milan in the summer if I’m not mistaken.
Sharline

1. To some extent–particularly when it comes to the team’s confidence–yes. But I’m not completely convinced yet. The match against Milan will be the real test for that.
2. Jovetic. And he wasn’t even playing.
3. No, this is gonna be one for the books.
4. For the Coppa – Storari, Licht, PDC, Bonucci, Caceres, Marrone, Vidal, Pirlo, Pepe, Giaccherini, Del Piero. For the match on Saturday – Buffon, pretty much the same backline except we’ll need Chiellini as Licht will be out, MVP, MVP
5. Yep…he and Bonucci are dancing like Merry and Pippin. Oh yeah.

  5. I always figured. The one thing 50 Cent has been missing from his music videos: more hobbits.
  - Sharline
    
    Hahahahahah, I couldn’t help it, guys
    
    I’m so happy today! ADP goal (which I missed…damn alarm clock), Vucinic rocket, and us in the finals. I slept for four hours but I regret nothing!
    
    The only thing that spoiled everything for me was Borriello, so if the no-buying rumor is true, I’ll be fine.

  lololololol LOTR reference!

1. we are over the goal drought, the mid-field goal drought. how about the forward goal drought from boriello, quag, and matri?

2. jovetic would be great, but not betting my money on it (he is in love with Fiorentina, which is very weird haha).

3. Not that i remember, but i recall all matches involving Juve are tense and exciting.

4. The same formation we use to kill the Viola.

5. lmao
https://profiles.google.com/WPazzurri/about Weston (@wpazzurri)

I’m tired today so simple answers:

1. No
2. Eh, easy answer is Jovetic who is great and all but we could do better. Rather have Giovinco back.
3. No, but I’m young.
4. This is a tough one cos I’m not sure where to stand on the whole rotation thing… I feel bad for Marco but I want to win for sure and no one instills confidence like Gigi, so Buffon in goal, backline depends on Chiellini / Barzagli fitness, I admit big game Mirko deserves this, I’d like to see Del Piero, and I cant deny Vidal, Marchisio, or Pirlo a start. What can we make of that? For the first time in a while I cant come up with a lineup that makes me happy.
5. Oh dear, besides Elia, Vidal, and maybe Caceres our team is so white hahahaha

  Quags and BorieLOL
Dirtbunny

1. Hahahahahaha! Um, no.
2. Hahahahahahahaha! Um, no. (Tho Viola does have a baby defender–Camporese–who had a handful of impressive matches last season before disappearing into the abyss….)

OMG does Borriello continue to suck or what? Once again, he gets his crappy minutes to show off his crappy form and his crappy hair while ADP sits on the bench looking forlorn. If he can’t get any time when the Zebes are winning like they were, then when will he ever get any time? He should be getting a farewell tour around Serie A, but instead, he gets to start in the Coppa, like he’s Bonera or Mass Oddo or (God help us) ZEBINA! IT’S JUST NOT RIGHT!!!!!!

P.S. I think Borriello’s hair is contagious. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it on Luca Marrone and Luca Cigarini. I hope Martin Caceres has had his vaccinations.
Dirtbunny

Did everyone else see Milos in the stands with Jovetic and Ljajic? At last. Someone else who knows Serbian for him to talk to. *pats him fondly* Now, go away and sign with some other club.
- http://www.juventiknows.com Marco P.
  
  Mirko speaks Serbian. They’re bunking together during away games.
  
  Too bad for Meelosh that with Conte, Mirko’s got an all-season pass in the starting 11…
- ForzaJuve
  
  noo! krasic needs to stay and start if we want to win the league and not be second
Somnath_Sengupta

1 No, Fiorentina was easily the poorest team (on the match-day) we have faced this season.
2 Won’t mid Jovetic.
3 This is the first time in years we are actually caring about Coppa
4 Any formation which doesn’t contain Boriellol and has Del Piero in it.
CMONJUVEWINTONIGHTAGAINSTBILAN

1. Not in the slightest. Merda beat Parma 5-0 and well they ….. suck.

2. Jojojojojojojojjojjojjojjojjojjoojojojjojjoj and JOJO and Vally Boy Behrami

3.No because well we haven’t really done to well in the coppa because we have always focused on Scudetti but this season we are going for a DD. Domestic Double.

4. STORARI

LICHTSTEINER-CHIELLINI-MAAAAARRRTTTIIIINNNN-PDC

KING-BON BON-PRINCIPINO

VOOCH-DEL PIERO-ELIA

5. Maybe Just Maybe
Jean-Paul

1. I think that it’s never wise to base any conclusions on a single game, especially when you consider the caliber of our opponents and the early red card. That said, it’s definitely encouraging to see any scoring and this may be a great first step toward ending the goal drought by reminding the team what they’re capable of before a big week in the campaign.

2. I don’t know too much about Fiorentina, but Jovetic is an obvious talent that any team would be happy to have on the roster.

3. I’ve never fully understood why the Coppa isn’t seen as prestigious as the Scudetto. Maybe it’s because I grew up watching hockey with it’s playoff structure, but international soccer has a tournament structure as well and it’s wildly popular. Even if teams rotate, you’re still seeing Serie A quality games.

This is definitely a pretty intense match, with not only the cup trophy at stake, but as a showdown between two clubs trying to outpace each other to the S******* in the home stretch of the season. I don’t remember one like this since the years Inter and Roma went at it after farsopoly.

4. I’d go:

BUFFON
LICHSTEINER-BONUCCI(BARZAGLI IF FIT)-CACERES-DE CEGLIE
MARCHISIO-PIRLO-VIDAL
DEL PIERO-MATRI-ELIA

5. I haven’t heard that song in ages!
amirnyc

YES i’m so happy right now but i can’t help thinking about Vuc:
what the hell is the deal with this guy? playes like shit, off passes, off shots, looks terribly lazy and disinterested .. and then the 96′ minute missile straight through amelia .. what i’m trying to say is i hate the guy, but he just shot the most imprtant juve goal in this season so far.
- http://www.juventiknows.com Marco P.
  
  I don’t know what game you were watching, but Vucinic was by far the man-of-the-match vs. Milan. Blame the rest of his very inconsistent season if you want, but Mirko played even better (if that’s possible) than against Fiorentina tonight.
  - Vittorio
    
    You’re right, Marco. Until 2 games ago, I couldn’t stand him. But you cannot beat how hard he ran and pressed, and how creative (!) he was today. I certainly wish he was like that all the time, but for now, he deserves to be starting, pretty much over everyone – I can’t believe I just wrote that.
    - amirnyc
      
      exactly what i was trying to bring over.
      but NOOO
      ya’ll got to play the defensive, just like our beloved Juve.
  - Aemoreno90
    
    couldnt agree more with you
  - amirnyc
    
    same game you were watching .. OFF shots and wayward passing
- Carlo-T80
  
  You’re insane. MIRKO MAN OF THE MATCH.
  - amirnyc
    
    no you are all insane, not me.
    read what i wrote again and you’d get what i mean.
    OFF shots, wayward passing.
    
    he plays 2 good games suddenly he’s Messi?
    Yeah he was MOM but there’s a 99% chance he WON’T be against merda, or napoli .. get it? he is just INCONSISTENT!
    jesus how often do i need to repeat this ..
    - S_Domini
      
      You’re funny

1) Fiorentina are a club in crisis, and going down to ten men made their uphill battle almost impossible… Still, it IS nice to score 5 against a “grudge club” like Viola; even if they suck it’s still FIVE gols and a boost for moral.

2) I’ve always liked Montolivio. And Joventic is badass. And Vargas is awesome. But sadly the rest of team is junk. WHY THE HELL DID THEY SELL GILARDINO?!?! It’s crazy.

3) nope! I was CRAZY stoked for the match, and the spectacle did not disappoint!.. except for Boriello, who was awful.

4) For Milan: Storari; Lichsteiner, Chiellini, Bonucci, De Ceglie; Marchisio, Pirlo, Vidal; Vucinic, Matri, Del Piero
For Inter: Buffon; Caceres, Chiellini, Bonucci, De Ceglie; Greaserini, Pirlo, Padoin; Vucinic, Matri, Del Piero

5) When I pull up out front, you see the Benz on dubs. When I roll 20 deep, it’s 20 knives in the club…

Am I an asshole for answering questions that I wrote myself?
Rocke Linez

1. Most probably, but we need one or a couple more matches to confirm that.

2. Montolivo would be nice for rotations.

3. No, the closest IMO was that away match against Lazio in 1998, we saved almost all of our starters at the start and I was not expecting much but then there were some glimpse of hope when Fonseca scores.

4. Buffon, PDC, Chiellini, Bonucci, Caceres, Vidal, Marchisio, Pirlo, Vucinic, Del Piero, Quagliarella. Conte should give Del Piero and Quagliarella more play time.

5. Nope, but I can see him in this picture http://i.imgur.com/TLbIw.jpg
