Marchisio is still to green for CL. Let him play in league bit more same as with Gio.
People here complaining even cos we play with 2 DM's.
But some people should know already that CL games is no beauty contest.
3 point to us was much more important than even 1 point for Zenith. That is why it was so difficult to play as we were very tense unlike Zenith players. Also they already had so many games in their own league.
I would always prefer to get 3 points than to play beautiful and dominant game and lose points at the end.
To some of you is more important to keep bashing even when we win.

Ranieri has to get somethings straight. The midfield looked tired tonight. They were the same players that played a tough Udinese game three days ago. The defense had two different players (Molinaro and Legro) and Del Piero/Trezeguet did not start the previous game as well. Poulsen was really out off pace and looked exhausted in the last 30 min of the game as did Sissoko. Nedved on the other hand was tired from the end of the first half.
If Ranieri is aiming on rotating the players he should do a better job at the midfield, especially with the good number of players we have there.

I think this game was treated differently to normal.
Ranieri was sentimental enough to say that all the Old Guard would start the game, due to it being our return to the CL.
Normally I would expect Amauri to have played, because Trez can't have been anything like match fit, and Nedved isn't really up to playing 180 minutes week any more.

Did anyone notice Ranieri's reaction after Alex's goal?
"YEAH! COME ON!"
I would have to vote Alex for MoM, because of his brilliant goal that made the difference, but SISSOKO was just effing, effing brilliant.

Snoop and Alacki summed it up pretty well.
We definitelylacked creativity in a almost the whole game.
Man of the match?, Delpiero and Sissoko were pure class definitely.
Worst?, between molinaron, sali and poulsen.
Ranieri wasnt too good either.
Ill stay with this comment of someone in the "live games" thread when delpiero scored:
"PURE SEXUAL EXPLOSION"
I laughed to this reaction
3 points...we start well after 2 years of absence.
