Good game for stat padding, but we were barely bothered. We could have scored 8 with a bit of sharpness.
Difficult to judge as they were so bad, but it's easy to see that Pjanic and Khedira are not quite on their game in terms of general play or tempo. Khedira was a little better tonight though.
Marchisio is clearly a step off his best mobility but that was a good 70 mins for him and his positional sense and deft touches were easy to see. We don't have anybody else there who can do those things.
Higuain's work rate is impressive and it was also nice for Mandzukic to score.
Asamoah is going to takes months and months to come back to his old level, you can see he is miles away. At this point it's a case of easing him through until next summer, if he can even contribute to a good level then great. So I understand why Allegri subbed him in rather than anyone else at that point.
Chiellini would be great if he had two more heads on the ends of his legs.

Started off in a very intersting fashion and managed to get two early goals mostly due to Sampdoria being cluless on air balls. After 10 mintues we managed to get into our usual hibernation until Sampdoria scored. Right after the goal the panic behaviour startd to appear and it was until Pjanic managed to shoot at least seven times at the keeper, getting the ball back everytime that we somehow looked like we secured the result against one of the worst defense I have ever seen. Sampdoria's defence was so bad that Chiellini managed to get on the scoresheet twice.
