I am not worried about Del Piero. In the last game, he might not have put his pure class performance but at least he was playing his heart out in a team that was without a soul or heart. Players who are standing still and not moving.
Ferrara might have screwed in formations and subs, but honestly even if he was perfect in these areas we would have still lost. There is so much the coach can do before the game but when the players set their feet on the green its up to them to play or not.
This year most of our players failed to show up in almost all games. The games we won were basically achieved by a single man performance (in except two or three games).
- look at how gross tries to cross, he doesn't even puts an effort in it. 99% of his crosses hit the defender.
- Cannavaro looked careless in many games he played.
- Caceras runs around and honestly he does cross often decently, but defensively he has not clue what he's doing (a player who is supposed to be a CB)
- Sissoko bullies the opponents around, but whats the point when he passes it directly back at them and expose the defense in a counter attack.
- Melo is either off form on getting red cards
- Camo is either off form on injured
- Diego looks frustrated all the time. And then he tries to play the most difficult pass in the world where in stead he can play a simple creative pass.
- Amauri has lost hope in scoring.
How can we win? Even if Del Piero wanted to shine or excel it will be very difficult with such a surrounding. He cannot pass the ball to anyone to create because they are not moving. His team mates to run around so opponents find it easy to just send two or three players against Del Piero.
If you look at our games, you'll find the opponent players just standing where they are when defending) and we are not even moving to try to split them. We surrender to their marking. That is why when Marchisio and Del Piero are in the pitch, you often see them passing the ball to each other. Its either Marchisio to Del Piero or vice versa. And these passes are always dangerous and creative, because both players try to move and open up spaces.
