No those are the bad things he has done he has lost control of the ball against dortmund, arsenal, and man u repeatedly. And those have cost us, goals! Especially the one against arsenal, and he repeatedly got mugged against man u. When you asked how he cost us, were you talking defensively? well then that doesn't make much sense cus even i could stand in the middle of the pitch and do nothing for 90 minutes and i wouldn't of necessarilly "cost" the team or been at fault for a goal. I am talking about how he has cost us offensively, cus these last few games he has been playing on the wings. And as lawnchair Bes pointed out I was talking about preseason, not last season. And about molinaro this preseason, i've been nothing but impressed.
I read all your posts and I agree with most of them. However, it seems like there are hidden factors that affect our players' performance that you may forget or notice. For example:
1. In Amauri case, maybe he needs more time to adapt, he's not like Poulsen. The position and tasks Poulsen must do on the court just the same as in Sevilla. So I think that's why he adapt faster than Amauri. Moreover, he needs space and pace to show what he's worth. Just be patient, I believe he'll shine in CL.
2. In Molinaro case, so far he disappoints me the most. However, we also see some glimpse chance that he'll improve. For example, he's eager to learn, he has huge tank of fuel. Maybe he's not as smart as Chiellini but time will give more experience. But after all, if we can get a better LB, then he should go. Otherwise, well...hope De Ceglie'll wrest his position and shine.
3. We're solid at defense but lack a bit of creativity and cohesion in the offense. With Giovinco, Neddy, DP, Camo, time will tell us the answer. With Iaquinta (yup I see him running like a bulldog), and Amauri, we'll be more physical and versatile.
I think we too get used to before Juves, I mean with such great stars and talents. Our before Juves adapt and shine in short times and played so brilliantly. But this time, it should be different, time and only time can tell where this Juve will end up to. There's still hope my friends

Fine, then ask for De Ceglie to play LB or to buy a new LB.
Don't be so desperate to ask for Chiellini to play there and make our defense at least 50% weaker by moving him out from the center

50%?? thats an overstatement.
I see a young Thuram on Chiellini, he started out wide when he was young and he had the speed and the stamina to make a nice contribution up front and secure our flanks and then turned into a CB when he grew older, i still believe that this defense:
Grygera Mellberg Chiellini Molinaro
is weaker that this one;
Grygera Mellberg Legro Chiellini
because Chiellini >>>> Molinaro
than Legrotaglie << Cheillini
