Not a bad game with 2 teams committed to attack and a lot of mistakes here and there. Apart from when i think it was tear gas on the field and the game had to be suspended for like 30 minutes
The goals were scored by Bojinov, which was the best goal fo the night as they carved open Juve's defence before he unleashed an unstoppable shot past Buffon, the second was clearly handball as Pazzini handled it, before slotting past buffon, played onside by Blasi
Our goals were scored by Pessotto, with a very good shot and was immediately substituted, while the second was a fluke by Mutu as his cross was misplaced and went in
Buffon: Did not have a lot to do on his return to first team action, both goals he could do nothing about, and he made only 1 worthwhile save all nite 5.5
Blasi : To be honest he is just substandard and did not contribute a single thing going forward, he does have energy and he did make 1 or 2 timely saves at the back, but if you are gonna persist with 4-4-2, no way should he play at right back 5
Pesotto: Before his goal, he was absolutely useless, misplaced passes the whole night and does not help the attack in a positive way, but he did help his cause with a splendid goal, then was immediately subbed , typical Capello 5.5
Balzaretti: I had never heard of him until tonite, and if this kid has not been injured all season , how come he has not been playing as he is an upgrade on Blasi, Chiellini and Pessotto, he was great on the right midfield, competent on the left full back position and he has pace, my man of the match 7
Thuram: Did not do too much wrong or right, some good interceptions and also a few misplaced passes 5.5
Kovac: he is a defender and thats all, he has no awareness, no passing ability at all which was somewhat embarassing to watch at times but he is a no nonsense defender 5
Vieria: was awful, as his passes were misplaced , he tried to dominate midfield but he couldn't and he did have a wonderful shot which was tipped over by Frey 5
Giannichedda: You know what you are gonna get from him, he tried his best and i didnt think he was bad at all, broke up the play with technical fouls 5.5
Mutu: For the first 40 minutes, he was terrible, then he had a very good 5 minutes before half time, did some good and not so good play in the second half and his goal was a fluke, misplaced passes did not help his cause but he is playing outta position 6
Dp: Frankly he was anonymous, most of the game, but intelligent off the ball runs, helped his cause, but he is one player i know that will not make anything out of a bad pass, as he never tries to make a bad pass from a team mate into a good one by trying, goes down to easily as well. Had an awful free kick , but had a header tapped in unecessarily by Zlatan which who know if it went it might have been deemed a goal by the imcompetent officials 5.5
Zalayeta: Just no football sense whatsoever, had a very good shot which hit the bar, from Dp's pathetic free kick, tried always to control balls he should have whipped in first time and off cos he miscontrolled and not surprisingly subbed 5.5
Zlatan: came on for Zalayeta and frankly did sweet f.a 5
Nedved: ditto 5
Emerson: If not for the fact that I had never heard of Balzaretti, he would quite easily have been my man of the match as he was superb when he came on, did everything Vieria was expected to do 7
Capello: As far as I am concerned his substitutions did not really do much as Pessotto scored just before he brought 3 of them on and he was subbed and only Emerson contributed. nedved on the right and Mutu on the left, is just mindboggling 5
