Grosso has nothing to do with Gio's substitution! Gio was outmuscled through out the match.
I 100% agree with taking Gio off the field. But I'm also against bringing PDC in. and 100% against bringing Molinaro in. And 100000% against Tiaga as LM.
Not a lot of options in our bench, unfortunately.
So, IMO, Ciro should've brought legro in for Gio pushing grosso to LM, Chiellini to LB.

I'd say he's one of the biggest reasons why we are not playing long balls this season, you have to be blind not to see that he's our link between defense and midfield. If he is average, name me 10 active left backs that are not average, it can't be that every single one of them is average. Surely, i would also like to have TOP3 one, but that's because of Melo, Diego, Amauri, Tiago or any of our big-money signings in the past few years.
I give him a 6. He is an average player, but there aren't that many good LB's around, and herein lies the problem.
Grosso should be viewed as nothing more than a stop-gap solution, and I for one am hoping he will not be a starter here next year, not because he is a bad player, but because I want someone better, and believe we deserve a better LB.

i never said molinaro is better, did I? and i´m no gio lover, when he was substituted it was mainly because he was exhausted or simply outmuscled, i agree. on the other hand defensively he is a weak link and sometimes the coach sacrifies a player playing in front of him in order to fix our left side, that is so obvious. still our best player available as a lb, what a pity.
makes sense, but IMO moli isn´t better, just more aggresive and has pace, in terms of positioning and passing the ball he is like me in symphonic orchestra. he is even worse at passing than sissoko and he often gave away balls in the most dangerous areas of the pitch.
anyway i don´t want to bash grooso, he has had some assists and can defend, but he is no evra and in comparison with our central defenders he is a weak link.

@ Ahmed. How about 6.125? Let's meet somewhere in between 
Grosso: «What an emotion the first goal at Juventus»
He had already scored at the Olimpico, but only with the Italian jersey. To find the first bianconero goal, Fabio Grosso chose the same goal, the one below the North curve. A beautiful goal but most of all important to give the team three golden points vs. Udinese.
After the assist for the first goal in Bergamo, another play from the external, always more at ease with the team. «This goal gave me so much emotion, most of all because it gave us three points –Grosso is happy and comments the match -. It was particular, an external making an assist to another external is not too tactical. After the goal I wanted immediately to hug Caceres because half of the merit goes to him. This victory allowed us getting closer to Inter. We are still far away, but we know we have all possibility to do well and win the championship. Wednesday in Bordeaux? I know well that stadium and that atmosphere. It’s a dangerous team and they showed it conquering already qualification. I don’t know if they will have important absences, there are still three days to go, anyway we must think only about ourselves».
