Line-ups: Matri-Vucinic face Genoa [ OFFICIAL THREAD FOR JUVE - GENOA]

[DeviAngel]

Alessandro Del Piero is on the Juventus bench, as Alessandro Matri and Mirko Vucinic run out against Rodrigo Palacio’s Genoa.
The Bianconeri aim to keep hold of the top spot, currently shared with Udinese, though they are without Gianluigi Buffon, Arturo Vidal and Emanuele Giaccherini.

The goalkeeper is ruled out for approximately 10 days after bruising his shoulder in training, while his teammates have thigh strains.

This means Marco Storari has his first start of the season between the posts.

Genoa haven’t even picked up a point in Turin since December 1994, losing five consecutive visits in all competition.

Ze Eduardo is still out injured, while Kakha Kaladze has been given a four-match ban for his ugly scene against Lecce last week.

The former Milan defender was booked, shown a second yellow straight away for dissent and then had to be dragged away by teammates as he insulted the referee.

Giandomenico Mesto returns to the side and Kaladze is replaced by Emiliano Moretti.

Cristobal Jorquera is given a rare start in support of Rodrigo Palacio, who is the current Serie A top scorer, with ex-Milan youth product Alexander Merkel.

Juventus: Storari; Chiellini, Barzagli, Bonucci, Lichtsteiner; Marchisio, Pirlo; Pepe, Matri, Vucinic, Estigarribia

Genoa: Frey; Mesto, Dainelli, Moretti, Antonelli; Rossi, Seymour, Veloso; Merkel; Jorquera, Palacio

Yep, it was really similar to our goal, but Marchisio had the shot while Vucinic did not.

Btw Chiellini should have scored with that header.

[Cotes]

VUCINIC is the flop of the match so far...

[Cotes]

GOD DAMN!!!!
CONTE BETTER SUB VUCINIC & PLAY QUAG!!

[Adrian0911]

they equalized..f***k this

[baresi]

Merkel.....

[dronte]

What a ball by Pirlo.. what a fail by Pepe haha

Vucinic fails so hard.. one on one with the keeper and he hits him? OMG

[JuvenelCuore]

Just as I expected. Estigarribia is playing terribly, and Vucinic once again makes Juventus suffer.

Bravo.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Please get Quagliarella on. Vucinic is having a horrible game.

[inderbaby]

Esti is boom

[tareks]

VUCINIC out for god's sake!!
Just put the #10 shirt alone on the pitch & it'll top all the Vucinic work this season so far

[JuvenelCuore]

Wow, this guy is not watching the game. He has put in no good crosses, has ran the ball into defenders [Marco Rossi], or he has stumbled over. He is God awful. Get him off the pitch.

[DeviAngel]

What a ball by Pirlo.. what a fail by Pepe haha

Vucinic fails so hard.. one on one with the keeper and he hits him? OMG

he was pushed by 2 defenders, and one closed the shot for him .....


Esti good debut but we need to see what elia has if not Krasic ...


Quagli will get his chance ..

and what I notice so far for vucinic is that he always tries to pass not to shoot seems like conte wants him to just pass lol he needs to be a bit more selfish

He still should have scored that sitter..

[JuvenelCuore]

That was the worst in-game analysis I have ever seen.

Vucinic is garbage. He missed a free goal.

Estigarribia has been God awful. Has done nothing good, and has certainly not contributed to anything.

Quagliarella needs to come on with Krasic.

Lichtsteiner allowed Merkel time and space to cross in for the goal.

The Italians once again are doing it well; Pirlo, Marchisio, Matri, Pepe, Chiellini, Storari, Barzagli, etc.

Forza Gli Italiani !!

If every chance was goal the game would be called Handball bro ) .... there are 45 mins more and we win this

Vucinic has NOTHING!!Even when he tries to dribble,he can't pass against one single player!!He's horrible

[zarola]

Idk for me esti has been fine it is Chiellini and vucinic who are playing bad.

IMO esti is at about giaccherinis level ATM and elia is better than both. Pepe has been great. Matri has been dangerous, pirlo has had his moments some good some bad

Bonucci looks ok. Lichtsteiners crossing is better today.

Get quag adp on.
