[Europa League] JUVENTUS 3-1 Fulham (Mar. 11th 2010) (20 Viewers)

Surprisingly comfortable win for us. I even saw some glimpses of the old Juve last night, for instance our approach to the second half: we just conserved our energy and didn't bother too much, but we were rarely troubled. Pretty satisfying, too bad we didn't keep the clean sheet though.
Manninger 6 - Fairly quiet night, I recall 1 good save
Zebina 7 - Ok, who was the guy on our RB spot wearing the Zebina mask? Secure at the back, providing width when needed & a rather nice shot.
Legrottaglie 6,5 - Excellent header to give us the lead & pretty good at the back except for a few small lapses of concentration.
Cannavaro 7 - His age still showed at times but almost perfect positioning & reading of the game. Probably his best game since the our home game against Chievo months ago.
Salihamidzic 5 - He just doesn't add anything worthwile at the moment.
Poulsen 6 - Decent outing. Did pretty well in controlling the mid, his injury lay off seems to have had little impact on him. Promising.
Marchisio 6,5 - Good game. Carried out his defensive duties as well as his offensive ones. He has great vision.
Candreva 6 - I saw some great moments but, as always, he completely disappears for big parts of the game.
Diego 6 - Very nice corner for the 1st goal, other than that he was rather poor most of the time.
Trezeguet 7 - I think he did well. Very involved & kept the Fulham defence on their toes.
Camoranesi 5,5 - He has more quality than Brazzo, that can't be disputed. But he was very sloppy & completely inefficient.
Iaquinta 5,5 - Little impact, but that was to be expected considering our approach to the 2nd half.
Sissoko -

ah, the good old days
Midfielder Hasan Salihamidzic has admitted he got the faintest of touches to direct David Trezeguet’s shot into the net in Juventus’ 3-1 Europa League win over Fulham last night.
But the Bosnian was almost apologetic after the match and maintained the scoresheet should acknowledge his team-mate instead.
“Trezeguet deserves all the credit,” Salihamidzic told the club’s official website.
“I just touched the ball lightly before it went in. I think it’s fair that he is given it.
“After all, it’s more important for a striker to score goals and David has just made his comeback from injury.”
Juve will take a two-goal lead into next week’s second leg of the last 16 tie in London, and Salihamidzic added: “I’m happy with this victory as we played really well. This will stand us in good stead for the return leg which will be tougher.”
-----------------------------------------
No wonder his teammates adore him everywhere he goes. Such a positive character. Always happy, always smiling, always joking, always fair.

It started like that.
Most of the second half was more like:
Marchisio has so many good aspects to his game, but what has really been impressing me lately has been his tactical awareness and his decision making.
It is just so rare that he makes the wrong choice, whether he is in possession or not.
If his technique improves a little, he can be a top class midfielder.
