Play Of the Match :

Zenit went on a classic counter-attack after Molinaro lost the ball in his own half and Denny only had to tap in at the back post, but he hesitated and allowed Claudio Marchisio to come flying in to block the shot .
:agree: Definitely.

Wait... This rule needs interpretation.
Peep 21.03 -.04

Article 21
Yellow and red cards
21.01 As a rule, a player who is sent off the field of play is suspended for the next
match in a UEFA club competition. The Control and Disciplinary Body is
entitled to augment this punishment. For serious offences the punishment
can be extended to all UEFA competition categories.
21.02 In case of repeated cautions, a player is suspended for the next competition
match:
a) after two cautions in two different qualifying matches, as well as after the
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.
21.05 Cautions and pending yellow-card suspensions from club competition
matches expire at the end of the season.
Clear as mud...

Qualifying cashes out the cards. Group stages carry them on. Word.
I think that is correct.

Can't moan/complain about the result. It's more than good considering too many things such as the (Inter match, injuries, playing away).

Zenit were having the possession more than us but thats just normal, because they're the one in-need of 3points not us. I like the way our defenders treated this match. Though Molinaro-Grygera like usually not adding much up-front, specially the Molinaro being himself again.

We didn't have too much creativity except when Ale was having the ball.... Playing both Sissoko and Marchisio isn't creative at all but we can't complain about it and we shouldn't looking at Zanetti, Poulsen, Tiago's situations.

Camoranesi was really frustrating today. Being selfish at times and many times could have passed to one of Iaquinta or Del Piero but he kept doing a Zlatan there.


All in all, 1point is pretty sweet and I enjoyed Sissoko's yellow card. Smart move.


Manninger 7

Grygera 5.5
Mellberg 6.5
Chiellini 7
Molinaro 5

Sissoko 5.5
Marchisio 6
Camoranesi 5
Nedved 5.5

Del Piero 6
Iaquinta 6


Ranieri's subs Dp-Gio was spot on. Amauri for Iaquinta last two min was also wise.
:tup:

Giovinco should have come on earlier, though.

?????????????????????

Second half was quite boring, but all in all Zenit was the one who should be more happy with this result. We failed to convert a multitude of great chances, we should've killed them.
It was a fair result.

Zenith probably had a similar number of chances to us, it's just that our chances were clearer.

indeed, I think people are happy with the result but less with the fact that C.R did'nt change things around and waited till the 77th min to make his first sub. That was the real dissapointment of the game.

Manninger 7.5
great performance by our goalie, could do nothing on that Pavel shot that struck post.
Grygera 6.5
great runs in the first half, created very good oportunity for Ale himself, but vanished in second half, no major mistakes in defence.
Chiellini 6.5
solid as usual.
Mellberg 6.5
proved his worth as CB today, some great tackles from our shaggy swede, shame that his header didn`t go in, that goal was well deserved.
Molinaro 4.5
dreadful performance, two really crude errors, added nothing on attack. unacceptable if your opponent is Arshavin (bad day for him though).
Camoranesi 5.5
still slow after injury, too many times made fouls near our box. was dangerous sometimes, his movements and passes still are class above others, but should have gave more.
Marchisio 5.5
apart from that great block that prevented Danny to score, was pretty invisible.
Sissoko 5.0
not the best display from momo both defensively and offensively.
Nedved 6.0
one of our most active players, helped a lot in defence and made a headache for oponents in attack.
Del Piero 6.0
had a lots of opportunities to score, but couldn`t find the net. also no creation in taking freekicks, Malafeev took them all with ease. despite this made a chaos in Zenit defence almost everytime touched the ball.
Iaquinta 6.0
tireless and real fighter, but unfortunately his partners couldn`t use his flicks with head. definetly needed on pitch if we will continue with these long balls.

Giovinco 5.0
had no chances against opponents physical players and small support from team mates.
Marchionni 6.0
had a good move through two defenders, did his job well enough.
Amauri NA

Ranieri 6.5
Not his fault that in first half we didn`t used our opportunities and didn`t do much wrong in second. probably is at fault that some of our players wasnt motivated enough today, maybe should`ve played others.

Copied? It's all part of the cost reduction policies, he simply borrowed it.
Blanc: We can't follow Chelsea or Inter lavish spending on clothes. Our expenditure on clothing must be no more than 0.37% of our turnover.

Maybe a clause at their contract.
players win or lose money with their appearances.
There is a reason a pecking order exists.
Amauri registered one more CL game at his carrier and a financial bonus, our clubs feels he is worthy of...
