Torres has done well. hes had very little service.

I just dont buy it, he's had the ball plenty of times, its up to him to make things happen. The sooner we get rid the better imo
Falaco would have had a hatful by now

GavRedKing

Great start by Oscar. Mata on..we'll score more now.

He hasnt got the ball in any dangerous positions yet.....

GavRedKing

Mata should have passed it. Good move though.

GavRedKing

Terrible defending. Jesus.

kitakyushu

Terry caught out there I think.

Nuri Sahin

Quagliarella actually did something positive :eek:

GavRedKing

Yup....terry all out of sorts.Stupid but the juve midfield is getting time all night.

kitakyushu

The difference between Drogba holding it up front last season in Europe and Torres is immense. He's just not doing it for them really.

kitakyushu

Quag almost copying Oscar there.

Nuri Sahin

Thought that was in all the way.

GavRedKing

Haunted :O

GavRedKing

2 shots on target 2 goals from Juve. Thats like us last year :pac:

GavRedKing

Looked like a handball there

GavRedKing

Draw was fair. we were still poor at markig the runners and players breakig.

Nuri Sahin

Good game, draw the right result.

Johner

fair result. We didn't play too bad but some of our defending was very poor.

Caveman1

Cant complain with the result, Mikel is way too casual on the ball, nearly cost us against QPR and loses 2 points for us tonight.

First half particulary he did running at the defenders, but he's just not a danger in any sense of the word, worse he slows down the attacking energy because we have to pass it to him. Every good attacking move didnt involve him, wait until we sign a real striker and then you will see the difference.
He's just got too much baggage now

Soby

Thats 3 big tests now (city , Madrid , Juve) and nothing from them. Should have finished them off tonight.

Terry and Lamps must be doing something different in the training ground if they arent being picked on merit.

Think Terry is a Keane job and only in the squad cause of the armband. Think a Ivan - Luiz/Cahil partnership needs to be tried

Totally agree, it's time to face facts that although Torres might get a few goals this season he's not the prolific striker he once was, with the team we're putting together now we can't afford to be accommodating Torres.

homer simpson

Definitely the fair result. I jinxed Mikel at half time he was brutal for a good while in the second half.

One thing is really worrying me and that's the fact we cannot seem to change a game at all, RDM just can't seem to make those changes to turn a game. It's like we have a plan A but no plan B at times.

St. Johnstone 2 - 1 Celtic

That is all :pac:

Soby

Also Chiellini is class , MOTM by far

MUSEIST

Happy enough with the result but disapointing to let a 2 goal lead go. If we win our 2 remaining home games and one of the away (nordsjaelland) then we should be through.

On torres, I agree that he will never be prolific for us and we need a new striker in jan badly, very short in that position.

Made mince of Hazard when he switched to the right , solid defender

GavRedKing

Ju e had a few candidates for motm. Asamoah done well, vidal and leichsteoner too. cheillini was a rock and a quick player for such a big guy.

we shot ourselves in the foot. Midfield were getting caught all night but RDM didnt change it. Naive not to move someone to help branna or mikel and lamps. cole was solod.

staker

Anyone think Czech could've done better for the second goal?
Well impressed with Oscar tonight, reminds me of a fit Kaka.
Chiellini MOTM.

Go get Fellani and a striker and we will be near complete

2-2 away against the Champions, I'll take that, especially as Juve played fairly sh*te.

Some belief to come back from 2-0 down; one "lucky" goal and one screamer.

MOTM Chiellini and/or Vidal (sublime talent).

Giovinco, Vucinic and Pirlo poor.

Quags does the business when needed.

I was happy for Juve and they deserved a point. But I never like to see Quagliarella do well for them. He's still regarded as a traitor in his home town of Napoli.

Renn

Why is he regarded as a traitor?

Napoli loaned him out to Juve where he signed a 3 year deal the following season. How can they regard him as a traitor? I know it was his hometown but still..they loaned him out,.they was equally to blame for it.

mikel should have controlled the ball better and not give it away
