Alex will score a hattrick and Cap will have to think more about his starting strikers for the game against Reggina

Just few notes on this match. Good first half or maybe just great first half hour, created chances quite easily and cancelled out Fiorentina with relative ease. Some clinical finishing gave use the game. Did not see a strong Fiorentina side out there today though. In the second half we played a quiet relaxed game, but still in calm control.
Ah, not in the mood for more comments. Just the players:
Buffon, hard to rate. Not much tested, though he kind of made his presence felt. I enjoyed the moment when someone (probably Cannavaro

) made him laugh, when he was trying to shoot the ball up field.
Zambrotta. Good match, also made his presence felt. Both upfront and in defence. Combined well with Mutu. 6.5
Thuram. Didn't have much to do, but was there when he was needed. 6
Cannavaro. Ditto 6
Balzaretti. Now this player impressed me. Great passing, crossing. Positioning. Comfortable on the ball. I'd like to see more of him. You'll need to watch your moves now Chiellini! 6.5+
Mutu. He did Mutu well again and scored. Great player, needs a starting place. 6.5
Vieira. Better than against Palermo. Still not that great. Blasi impressed me more, which in itself is worrying. 6
Blasi. I think he was quite good. Even looked good on the ball. Was active and stole alot of balls. Sadly still had a lot of Blasi moments, which means giving the ball away foolishly. 6+
Nedved. Not good. Started of with a few nice moves, but faded away badly. Needs to improve his game. Does not warrant a starting place with Camoranesi and an in-form Mutu ready to play. 5+
Del Piero. The absolute star of the show. Record-breaking form. 3 goals, two of which were class. Some nice silky moves and great passing. All-round great today. Saw a very determined but also frustrated and angry Del Piero today.
Both Capello and Del Piero himself too need to release this Del Piero every match!
Loved the italian commentators when DP did something wonderfull " il numero di Del Piero!" 8.5
Zalayeta. Not bad, got better as the match wore on. Needs to improve. A player that desperately needs more playing minutes though....... Unlucky for him, this squad. 5.5
