Commitment is always an important quality. But it counts for nothing if a player is totally bereft of talent, and aware that finally his stranglehold on the left back position in the starting XI is at best under reconsideration, and more likely, Lost...to Sali, or De Ceglie when he regains full fitness.
I don't give a fuck how committed Molinaro is. He is appalling as a left back.
As for the result...Yes, it was hard to stomach. Especially as kick off, my time here in melbourne was 445am.
Many members have already correctly identified our midfield as the cause of our downfall. Marchisio and Camo were both phantoms..leaving too much work for Melo, who did seem to try, but too often, it seemed like he had 3 people to mark and tackle, with zero support from his midfield companions. If we are playing Diego or Giovinco in the hole, we desperately need more hustlers in midfield, alongside Melo, than we got last night.
During the first twenty minutes I kept thinking 'this is looking horrible'. Their midfield had TOO much space and time. Seemingly at will, they were taking turns, to attack, more often than not heading straight down the middle of the park...Zebina presented at least some resistance on the right flank, and showed desire to make things happen further up the field, but without getting any decent support or encouragement from Camo, he had little chance to impress.
IS Marchisio fit????
Momo, Melo, Tiago
will be our starting midfield trio,
or as some others have mentioned, especially when we play against a team who often moves to 5 in midfield, we can deploy the two big men in front of the defence, then Camo, Diego, Tiago/Giovino behind Trez or Amuari or Iaquinta in attack.
This result is not meaningless, bit neither is it enough to dampen my fiery hopes for this season.
That was not our first choice XI. We are not yet fit. Our midfield had a very poor showing, which affected the rest of the team.

La Liga.... are you jokin a league where Real Madrid where fucked in their last 5-6 games and still maintained a lead of 8 points above Sevilla who where 3rd placed whereas in Serie A when Juve started getting draws Milan overtook us. Barca are the only top side in La liga, considering other teams Serie A has more quality and competition is also tighter . You don't need to draw Big conclusions after the result of a friendly, it was not just the right day when even Chiellini was making mistakes......
