Good performance in the first half but not so good in the second but we did win and the football aint so bad
We look in good shape but I just have a couple of gripes before we can be classified as world class
Emerson needs a good enuff partner in the central midfield
We need someone better than Camo on the right hand side
Still need a couple of strikers or an attacking forward and a striker cos Zala cannot be the soultion if Dp and Trez are out long time and please if Kapo was good enuff, surely he would have played against Messina or maccabi Haifa
Buffon 5.5 looks a bit shaky and I hear he was not so gr8 against Belarus, fluffed a routine shot pick up and was slow to react to a cross/cum shot and also slipped which might have embarassed him
Zebina 5 not always sure if he is a centre back or a full back as he always seems to drift to the centre to commit unnecessary fouls
Zambrotta 5.5 not one of his better performances but then again noone on the left for him to combine with
Cannavaro 6 was as solid as ever and has definitely added much needed quality and assurance to the back
Thuram 5.5 was at fault at for the goal and apart from that was solid as captain
Camoranesi 6 actually played well but i just don't like his individualistic displays and not being able to do the easy things properly like pass the ball simply
Emerson 7 absolute class, now its evident why Capello always wants to play with him, he totally dominated in the first half hence our being on top and as he faded in the second half so did we. He is everything Camoranesi is not, he does the simple things so effectively and is a great cover for both attack and defence
Appiah 6 did well but still passes the ball the way his ability is not up 2
Nedved 6 took his goal well, works very hard but i do wish he can stop all the silly theatrics and stop kicking out at opponents
Zlatan 5 was just poor, another one who never wants to do the easy thing, but i hear he was not fully fit maybe that affected his performance.
Zala 6 good performance, all heart and endeavour just lacks class as his misses showed, bullet header though
Birindelli 5 just adds very little to this particular team but still a good sub
Oliveira I must admit, I do not see the qualities ppl talkj about but I have not seen much of him
