Halftime
We played better than the last weeks. I'm guessing the Sissoko-Melo partnership has a lot to do with it. Our passing is still disastrous, though.
We are definitely better defensively, which is indeed due to Melo and Sissoko, especially the former who has been very solid. But I'd say that our passing and movement forward on the attack is more or less the same as the previous weeks. Only reason we have the lead is because Toldo is a clown.
Something needs to happen with DC and Candreva though. Either improve their movement and support, or sub one of them. DC has to worry about Maicon but Candreva only has Santon to deal with defensively, so he should have more freedom to create but isn't doing that thus far.
Good matches from Diego, Melo, and Amauri thus far. Central defense hasn't had to do much, so watch out for the inopportune cross and failed mark in the second 45.
