Before the game Gilliam Balague who works for sky sports did a little report on Depor and said they were known for withcraft and all that hoodoo stuff , normally I do not believe in such nonsense but I could not believe my eyes last night
Players like Dp playing a ball hopelessly wide in fairness the ball came quickly to him
Nedved European player of the year cannot control simple balls and the defence decided they were all Franz Beckenbauer always trying to play themselves outta trouble and always getting caught on the ball
Buffon just too good for the gabbage in front of him 7
Thuram why on earth , when not under any pressure, did he decide to try and dribble with the ball and gave a silly pass to Appiah who got caught in position, they crossed and instead of Thuram to redeem himself, he headed the ball nicely for Luque to volley home , apart from that he was okay 5.5
Leggrotaglie started off awfully but ended up our best defender 6
Montero did alright but he is a liability and should have been sold a long time ago 5.5
Pessotto did what his ability took him to 5.5
Tacchinardi played very well I thought in the first half and gave a beat of a pass to Miccolli which he fluffed then pretended he was injured, but then Tacchinardi started been caught in possesion and we were just hopeless in midfield 5.5
Appiah another who had a good first half then he reverted back to type in the second half, looking for passes that were not there , shooting like he scores every week but he worked his socks off 6
Zambrotta was awful in the first half on the right wing got slight better in the second 5
Nedved was just hopeless , no excuses but only to say this is what he normally does in Cl for us anyways 4.5
Dp marginally better than Nedved, got caught in possesion , should really have gone round Molina for his first chance imo but he did some nice things 5
Trez was alright till the 15th minute then he just disappeared but we need him this season 5.5
Miccoli did sweet F.A 5
Conte tried his best in the midfield when he came on and went very close with his first touch witha header 5.5
I said before a while ago. you cannot keep on rotating just for the heck of it and whilst ppl like Slack and hardcore agreed with me some who always want to act that everything Lippi does is gold were arguing blindly
Now you can see the results
The defence do not know eachother because they keep on being changed all the time, the midfield likewise and well the attack, what atack, now
The most consistent teams this season, the Arsenals, Romas, Milans and real Madrid, Valencia are doing very well because their managers by and large use the same players, it may catch up with them in the end but as for now its doing alright but the likes of us Chelsea and some others who just change for the heck of it are having very disappointing seasons
Its not the loss or whatever its the manner of play
Chelsea won yesterday without a single shot on target from any of their players, incredible that aint it
