The bloody Coppa is now our only hope of winning a title. We should be as arrogant as before...
That Amauri isnt, but he is far better than that...

I would only say two things:
1. I don't think we chose to defend like we did against Napoli. I think Lazio played a very good second half and forced us back, though we should have dealt with it better.
2. Ranieri's changes weren't terrible, they just weren't good enough to turn the tide. I've no complaints about changing the central midfielders. I would have brought Giovinco on for Iaquinta at around 60 minutes.

Poor Seba, really, the kid is rotting on the bench.
- Tiago was the only bright spot IMHO with some really incisive passing.
- Iaquinta was unfortunate on 2 occasions due to the linesmen who had his head up his ass. Other than that he was disappointing.
- Amauri needs a loooooong rest, and service, lots of service. Something that our midfield, besides Tiago cant provide.
And once again we have been exposed in the middle of the park for our lack of creativity. With 2 target strikers like Iaquinta and Amauri playing, why wasnt Gio playing?

We were damn good in the first half but we looked so poor in the second it's sad.
Let's not overreact because it's just Coppa and the result it self is not that bad at all.2-1 should not stop us of going through.I don't like Amauri-Iaquinta partnership to be honest.
Manninger-6 Was good in the first half but we concided two goals.It's not like it's his fault.
Grygera-4.5 Wait,did he play?Once again,he's our weakest link and not Molinaro.He just can't do anything.
Chiellini-5.5 Made some mistakes in the second half while covering Pandev.He can do much better.
Mellberg-5 Not so noticable on the pitch but he made some mistakes as well.Was weaker than Chiellini IMO.
Molinaro-6 Great first half,just great.He failed to impress in the second but so did the rest.
Marchionni-5 Despite the goal he scored he didn't do anything.We need someone better on that place.
Sissoko-5.5 Not his day.Was pretty much invisible but still,forza Momo.
Tiago-6.5 Pretty good game for him.Classy play.
Nedved-6 He runs less in the second half but he's been playing very good recently.He had some sweet passes today.
Amauri-5 Bad day...but also bad partnership IMO.
Iaquinta-5.5 Ref. denied that goal he scored but anyway,he looks too aggresive and like he can't stand the pressure.
Marchisio-5.5
Poulsen-5
Trezeguet- /
Ranieri-5 We have many important matches that await us but he didn't give a chance to Giovinco.It's Coppa!And I think he would have done a good job in the second half.
refs. 4 Offside?What a joke.

But there is more presure on the refs now. Italy vs Inter is what the media created in the last few weeks and the refs are only human. I expect the oposite attitude from the refs and some calls against Inter that will open up a chance for Juve to get back into the game. Will we take it, it's up to us.
But we are not taking advantage of the "good" situations we are ending up with. Did you see the grass that Lazio left in the second half? Not a single player we have knows what to do with it, well Nedved knows but his legs don't help.
I also think that we can eliminate Chelsea but we have to take advantage of situations not mess them up.
