Christmas has come early to Turin!
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 - 6.5 - 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.
I should slam him for his moronic subs, but this was a somewhat pointless match.

Wait... This rule needs interpretation.

fourth caution during the qualifying phase;
b) from the first match in the group stage, after three cautions in three
different matches, as well as following any subsequent odd-numbered
caution (fifth, seventh, ninth, etc.).
21.03 Single yellow cards and pending suspensions are always carried forward either to the next stage of the competition or to another club competition in the current season.
21.04 Exceptionally, single cautions from the qualifying phase that have not resulted in a suspension expire on completion of the qualifying phase in question.
