Well, we are dominating and Napoli looks like utter shite out there.

Pluses:
* Finally a little luck in Marchisio's deflection in. Yeah, like that was going close to the near post. :p
* Defense is manhandling much of what Napoli puts forward
* Good passing - this is not Chelsea, clearly
* Marchionni finally figured out how to mark players: play them close and step on their feet. Works for me.
* Molinaro making some good defensive headers
* Players looking good: Trezeguet, Marchionni, Buffon, Poulsen, Chiellini, Molinaro

Minuses:
* Some clever and crisp offensive play has died down as the half went on
* The referee is whistle-happy
* Too many offsides
* Players who need to pick up their play a little: Del Piero, Giovinco

The 2nd half vs Chelsea on wed and this half, shows that we're improving and we are more into football possession.

Seba and Ale should play next to each others, though I understand the fact that Ale is returning back to the middle and opening up space to everyone.

Tiago for Poulsen in the 2nd half to control more the middle and tire them with our passes.

With Tiago, Del Piero, Giovinco they'll be running a lot.

What's with hate Marchionni is getting? Sure he's no Maradona, but I think he has been decent.
Nice 'tar. :D

I agree. I blast Marchionni with the fires of hell when he deserves it. He doesn't thus far. Some good passing and not as many turnovers. Also some creative interplay with his teammates.

Perhaps the biggest plus is his defensive play: he's sitting on his mark, getting whistled a lot. But that works better than his loose coverage and blown attempts at tackles and headers.
