the differnce between nocerino and gattuso is that nocerino doesn't know what the hell to do with the ball, so he belts it up the field or just hands it to the opponent with a crappy 10 yard pass. gattuso doesn't mind sending a two yard pass to pirlo, oddo or kaka, but he doesn't usually give away possession.
in short, gattuso knows his technical limitations whereas, nocerino doesn't. but i still like nocerino and think he can be great for us. but i wish we wouldn't play him next to zanetti every game. that pairing should only occur against super-creative teams like milan(on form) and roma.
