Ratings with a couple of words for every player, please.
I only watched some 5-10 minutes.
Storari - 6 - Was pretty solid for the most part, although he wasn't tested much in the first.

Motta - 5 - OK going forward, got schooled by the brilliant Kienzl a few times. Sloppy defending.

Bonucci - 6.5 - Solid. Best player on the backline, or perhaps on the entire team. Made two crucial tackles in our area coming from behind on the player to save what could have amounted to a goal.

Chiellini - 5.5 - Sloppy

De Ceglie - 4 - Horrendous. Holy shit, he was bad. You were right, Alen. He can't defend worth a shit. When he's 1v1 verses an attacker he squares right up to him inviting to be nutmegged.

Pepe - 6 - He did OK, showed some hustle and pace. But he doesn't really add anything apart from that. I can see it now, "Pepe sucks"... "ohhh, but he tries sooooo hard."

Sissoko - 4 - Disaster. Gave the ball away and we still didn't gain much from his presence defensively... against a mediocre team. Actually, he shouldn't even be listed as part of the team because he's not a footballer.

Marchisio - 6 - Did some decent things, nothing more. Had to deal with Soaker mistakes.

Lanzafame - 5.5 - Tries some nice tricks that I appreciate, but doesn't pull them off much. He has talent, but unfortunately for us it might be more like the Palladingo sort of talent.

Diego - 5.5 - Was not impressed apart from the set pieces that he sent in from the flanks.

Amauri - 7 - Missed a few chances that he created out of nothing, yet was getting bitched at in the match thread. Probably still not good enough, but I'll give him a 7 just to piss off the likes of Hustini.

Martinez - 5 - Made one nice run and that was that.

Del Piero - 6 - Made a few nice free kicks and a half chance during his short time on the pitch.

Melo - NR

Team Score - 4



Good result but wow, what an awful performance. We were almost as bad as the commentator on bet365. Played a decent first half, got to 1-0 up and just stopped playing. That shit fucking pisses me off. Italians just won't learn. As soon as they equalise we suddenly want to attack again. Fucking retarded.

We can't pass the ball. Absolutely no penetration through midfield. And it's not just that we can't penetrate, we can't keep possession either. It's not surprising that 3 of our 5 goals so far this season have come from set pieces.
Abso-fucking-lutely. I agree with everything in this portion of your post.

But this inability to pass or possess the ball has been going on for ages now. Did we really think Del Neri would offer any change in policy towards that? I didn't. And the problem is simply made worse with destroyers and no deeper passers.

They will never learn indeed.

Amauri and Pepe almost got into a fight, Martinez came in to stop it
Pepe needs to learn how to angle his crosses.

He gave the ball away 4 times.
I counted six times.

shut the fuck up
:lol:

It has to be Italian vs Italien thing.
Could be. I heard Pepe is very good friends with Stefano Fiore.

it was all over positioning when crosses come, basically they told each other to go fuck themselves
It's not that hard, Pepe just needs to get it to Amauri's head. He can fight off defenders.

You could have written seventy pages more and I wouldn't ahve even bothered reading anything from them, my point remains, how can you tell if we are convincing or not before even seeing us play? Our transfers have not been convincing, I totally agree with that but saying that we won't be convincing on the field hours before kickoff is just absurd.
I wouldn't write 70 pages for you, don't flatter yourself.
I'm telling you we arnt convincing because I saw every single friendly we played. We did well in some i must agree, but when we faced inter we were schooled by kids. You can deny all you want judge Judy but we are not convincing until we play seria a and see how it goes when it gets to consistancy and playing proper teams.

Hope you enjoyed the mouth watering juve today

Omfg Martinez, seriously wtf is wrong with him. 12 mil for that
And we paid 13/14m for Momo when Secco bought him from Liverpool. Wtf is that? He becoming worse since last season

We seriously need an LB and one backup CB that can also play as RB. I do still worry about our RB, Motta isn't good defensively and we only have Grygera as backup for him

They were not convincing but I say that AFTER I watched the game, you said it BEFORE.

We will never ever play Seria a because, reality check, IT DOES NOT EXIST.

And thank you for not wanting to write me 70 pages, I am not even interested in one word you write. Now go talk to someone who understands what your username means.

Anyway I've spent the last couple days thinking you were that guy from Lithuania and had changed your username. Don't know why.

We had chances in the first but played poorly in the second. The late equalizer for Sturm was deserved and then the team rallied and got a set piece goal from Amauri.

We were lucky to get the win because their attack was poor and couldn't finish, a draw would have been "fair".
