I would say last night friendly was not just about fitness. Payers looked in shape and didn't look dead tired like week before. We can valuate their performances from last night and in the games to come.
I agree with you that prior to last night's game Tim cup or games against amateur sides were mostly for reaching the optimal fitness level. That said I don't believe any aspect of preseason is neglected by the coach.
Storari did decent.
licht not convincing as cb
ogbonna, without leaders, managed excellent against the fat guy
peluso, a disaster cb, pretty diffrent as lwb/lb
marrone, disgustingly bad
asamoah, played MUCH better once pirlo got on, scored when on the wing.
vidal, himself
isla, not convincing
de ceglie, himself
tevez, not convincing untill he dropped off and was all over the place, domminating the poor everton defence
lllorente, still finding his place, some promising combinations, but pâssed it off to much. should try more himself
vucinic, very eager. willing to fight for his place
pirlo, not interested at all, and high as fuck, yet completely changed the game once he replaced marrone
padoin, decent, better then isla overall imo
matri, eager, willing to fight to keep backup
