It's hard to get too excited about this match to put much effort into the ratings. So what I'll do is this:
Manninger - 7.5 - MoM. Good instincts. Good saves. About as good of a match as he's played for us. And this is the best we've seen from non-Gigi play since Abbiati was on a tear for us.
Grygera - 5.5 - Mostly silent.
Mellberg - 6 - Mostly did what he needed to do.
Chiellini - 6.5 - Did what you expect of him.
Molinaro - 6 - No real mistakes. Few good opportunities either, though.
Camoranesi - 6.5 - Some good break-open plays in the match. Unfortunately nothing converted.
Sissoko - 6 - Generally solid game. A slight deduction for when he went ballwatching when Marchisio had to save our asses.
Marchisio - 6.5 - Needs to improve the precision of his upfield passes. They're close, but this ain't horseshoes. Otherwise had a good tempo and did some great things defensively.
Nedved - 5.5 - Outside of a good play or two, did not offer enough.
Del Piero - 6 - A decent, albeit uneventful, outing.
Iaquinta - 6 - Should have been luckier. Our best player in the first half, he faded as the game wore on and Zenit took more possession.
Subs:
Giovinco - 5 - Pretty much got leveled by the defense whenever he had possession and tried to move the ball upfield.
Marchionni - 6 - Not on much, but did open the game a little when he came on.
Amauri - NR - On so little he probably doesn't even need to wash his jersey tonight.
Coach:
Ranieri - 6 - Played for the draw. Almost didn't get it. Almost won too, but it was a pretty non-committal strategy. Even so, earning points from Zenit at this stage in St. Pete, and not taking on any new injuries (that we know of), probably has to constitute a mild success. And a well-timed card for Momo.
