For a 31 year old fullback (soon to be 32) to push forward the way he did he's fitness would definately drop toward the end of the game and he'll lose concentration.
As bad as it might sound i'd hoped that ferrara would replace him with molinaro in the last 20-25 minutes of the game.....
We have no other options and molinaro isn't that bad defending in the back. He managed to do a decent job against Inter and madrid last season. He can be very usefull in certain situations.....

Thats it pretty much. Basically set up two of our goals, but needs to concentrate more defensively.
I would take him any day over the week over that fucking joke of a professional footballer Molinaro. He might be a touch better defensively, but he makes horrendous mistakes and cant cross to save his life.
First or second goal doesn't count as his assist by the way. The ball was reflected...but anyway, that's not even the point.
I don't hate any player. It's just a matter if I appreciate his work or not and if I say we should sell Tiago it doesn't mean I hate him. I liked how he played before.
Grosso was always overrated defender, seriously. World Cup made him a player that every other Juve fan wank on. He makes less mistakes than Caceres but difference is not that big and usually because of this reason : most of the attacks come from the other side. Almost every time they go on his, our left side is exposed and he's too clumsy like it was noticed a couple of times last night where we conceded as well. Also, one more thing, his crosses are not that great as some people make them out to be. They aren't bad but it's nothing special. He can too pull a Molinaro. I'm pretty sure he's not a short term solution so that can't be an excuse and I know you too want someone better as well but you just over-hype Grosso's work. He's an average defender at best.
I don't need to mention this but here it goes: Grosso>Molinaro
He has been solid this season and top-notch signing by Secco. No matter how good manager you are, there's no chance you could've signed Evra or A.Cole for that kind of money. Of course we could have kept Zanetti and spend the Melo money on a better fullback, but there's no chance you can call Grosso a flop, considering the money we paid for him.
He may not be the best defender, but he does very big work to get us forward, and i'd say his presence on the pitch is positive. That's bullshit, that every attack, that comes to his side turns out to be dangerous or that every team we play attacks from the other side. Yesterday he cost us a goal, but if it weren't for his two (or 1.5) assists, no one knows how it would have ended. He's not WC, but certainly not a weak link in this team.
