Calm down dude. I never said he wasn't ... but i was just saying alot of people have turned Balza into a myth as if he was Roberto Carlos. He was a sub under Capello and was decent when he did play.
He is gone yet people still croon over his excellence when he was simply a decent player. Also I think expectations for Molinero are way to high. He is not supposed to be a leader or flawless player in our team. He was originally ment to be our substitute LB in case Chiellini could not play. But injuries to Andrade and the under performance of Criscito have led to him being our starting LB. Which the club is attempting to resolve by purchasing a new LB.
The reason why we continue to talk about Balzaretti is because it was a bonehead decision to give him away. That's why. Now we're stuck with a dolt like Molinaro on the left and sometimes have to rely on Birindelli on the right, a good stalwart who is too old now. People complaining about selling Balza are spot on.
And we're not asking Molinaro to be flawless. We're asking Molinaro to make good crosses, not miss passes, not make countless mistakes at the back, something he does every single match. Watching him makes my blood boil. Get him out now.
Funny thing is, I saw that this player would be useless end of September.
It is not like every time we perform bad it is our LB's fault. We are over critical of him i think. He is not good .. sure. But just like Roma fans are over critical of Cicinho (expecting him to dominate and score every game or whatever) we are over analyzing and scrutinizing a player who was never expected to be a starter. I don't see the point. In a few months it will be taken care of.
No we aren't over critical of him. He's terrible. He can't go through one match without being LAUGHED at.
