What a masterpiece of champagne football this half has been. It should be recorded, analysed, studied and savoured and then be used as a guide to younger players the world over.
Give me some Anelka or Vucinic for Giovinco in the 2nd half, the rest should work itself out perfectly as long as we remove their best defender from the game.
I think people are being a bit harsh on Marrone. He was reasonably good whenever he deputised for Pirlo (or elsewhere in midfield) last season. He's been mostly used as a CB and hasn't played as regista nearly at all... It is like when Caceres came in to deputise for Chiello, it takes a little while to adapt!
