Well i agree that we lost due to our defence again and that the midfield and attack was just fine.... except for Appiah. He couldn't defend well enough.
As I promised:
Chimenti: Very good, some great saves:
7.5
Ferrara: Stable, not really a right back though, so he can't really excersie any pressure from that position, a bit useless sadly.
5.5
Legro: Not so bad in the first half bad in the second half though.
5.
Thuram: Very good in the first half, less good in the second half though, looked very nervous. In the whole game though, he as some good tackles.
6.5-7.
Birindelli: Very impressive. Good runs, solid at the back, good cross that lead to the first goal and he had some nice moves.
7.
Appiah: He should have closed down the Lazio midfield, or at least some of it, but he ran around like a headless chicken though, as if we were with 10 men it seemed.
5.
Pessotto: Wasn't that bad in midfield, looked stable and i can remember one move, definantly an improvement on Appiah even though Pessotto played out of position,
6.5
Maresca: Very good in the first half, he played as a cmf/dmf, but Pessoto stayed back so he could attack, it worked. He was everywhere. Good tackles and passes. Sadly though he looked a bit unsettled in the second half(after Appiah came on), he was moved to the left side, it usually works not today though. I could still spot some good Maresca passes in the second half.
7.
Zambrotta: As great and threatening as ever. 3 Dribbles which could've deserved a goal. Dribbled past his men with ease, dangerous crosses and also helped the defense out a good deal.
Juve's man of the match.
7.5+.(Sadly though, Fiore was my man of the match..)
Nedved: Will he ever stop to dissapoint, he looked strong on the ball, but he didn't give good passes, his crosses were always too long and he missed 3 good chances to score. + He sometimes ran around a bit headless, sad to say but he needs to step up... a lot!
5- 5.5.
Del Piero.
Pretty good. Some nice moves, good passes and score an (easy) goal. One comment though, he played a bit too much to prove himself, sometimes neglecting his teammates. A nice backheel though!(with what Nedved should've done more..)
7- .
Trezeguet:
Played good. Good position, good headers. Good effort good passes. Played very smart.
7+.
DV and Micco too hard to rate.
