Have you counted the number of goals we conceded because of Grosso's defensive abilities this season?
But you gotta give Molinaro credit he deserves and that is he's a better defender than both PDC and Grosso.
I believe that Moli's defensive capabilities are EXTREMELY OVERRATED
in this forum.
I believe that he is unable to defend and he is a liability, even worse than DC and most ESP than Grosso.
I dont rate Grosso as a defender, but he is def a much better defender than Moli. I have seen Grosso heading out dangerous balls and perform sliding tackles.
Moli is unable to perform that!!
If Moli was a new player, into a new team, like Grosso is now for us, he would have done a hell of a lot worse than Grosso is now.
You cannot compare the super defensive Juve of CR, to the open Juve of Ciro.
Moli always had a defensive winger ahead of him (Neddy) and an extra DM (Sissoko) to cover up for his defensive lapses.
The need to go forward was lesser and our wings were far less exposed, due to our defensive system.
The teamwork and the coverage of his teammates he was playing with for 2-3 years, in the system he was playing in for 2 years, favored him so much, that actually made to the impression to some fans, that he is a football player.
But he is not!! And def not a reliable defender!!
When he was called to play a role in this team, with the same standards Grosso faces, we all saw his exposed defensive lapses.
He is actually even worse as a defender, than Grosso too!
