Old Lady Mini-Post: Back to Normal

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2010

 Must I?  I suppose I must.  Juve lost at home to Palermo 1-3.  The Bianconceri looked tired going in, gave up a goal in the second minute, and looked even more tired after that.  Mr. Orsato made a couple of crap calls during the first half, and the zebes got demoralized and never really came back.  Like all of last year, they gave up.



This about sums it up.


Alessa got another start and had some good shots,  but he looked slow and exhausted and went off at about the 60th.  And he brought his real-life pregnant wife who I am sure is a very nice person and this always makes me upset because it confronts my denial.

Milos and Melo kept working until the bitter end, long after everyone else stopped bothering to make runs or get on the ends of passes.
Pepe was terrible, and repeatedly gave the ball away by passing to no one, as usual.  One encouraging sign is that Of Blacks took him off at the half and--get this--tried something different.  It didn't help, but at least he tried.  Amauri, Iaquinta, and Aquilani all came in as subs.
Amauri and Vinenzo put in decent efforts and Vince actually got a goal late in the match, but Aquilani looked worn out, and he has no reason to be tired so he must be either not fit or lazy.  All in all, I despair.



So I lifted this from the Juventus Offside and while it is a little unfair to Amauri, who seems to be slowly regaining his form, it's pretty damn funny if you ask me.




bring Cassani back, dammit!


And here's a little more fail....




...and some Alefail:


his hands are strong and gentle all at the same time  *sigh*

.....and one that makes Sirigu, that rat bastard, look particularly lumpy and misshapen.....




....and the rest is all about the pretteh:



The hairz were there.



Okay, then.  This isn't so bad.


Coming up:  Sardines at home on Sunday,
Man City away on Thursday,
and



oh shit


Inter away a week from Sunday.
