good result and boyyyy the match was difficult. it's good to come out with a point and for our players to have a taste of high level football. our defense is still shaky (wingbacks play too up front) with this formation but if MVP do their job they will be well covered. some look exhausted, particularly pirlo, rotation is definitely needed. Giorgio Chiellini is BEAST, big games are made for him. licht was mediocre, and I think Isla will offer us great things - we have good players in this position. I thought Marchisio was fantastic, and Vidal's ball recovery was ever so crucial BUT he also tends to give them away, something we are all aware of. He edges out as MoTM for me for the sheer importance of his goal, chiellini a close second. Asamoah's work rate and speed are an advantage but made some questionable moves and looked out of sorts once in a while, but positive all around. Vucinic had a good game, particularly in the first half. I am sorry but Giovinco cannot play at this stage, like it or not his stature is a hindrance he is just not strong enough, it has been more than once since he rejoined us where he gets double teamed and loses the ball. Quagsy was amazing. fantastic run, cool finish, superb effort that unluckily hit the bar. @baggio probably came all over his pants.
and finally, kudos to conte/carrera for game changing substitutions AGAIN, and to the whole team just for never giving in. that is invaluable.
