Good posts Swag and Andy, but I can't say I agree with the ratings of certain players. Especially how you rated our fullbacks, as I thought they were one of the better assets of our team against Roma.
Chiellini impresses me more and more every match, his confidence and determination. That coupled with some good ball skills and some decent interceptions defensively. His confident runs were more than usefull against Roma.
Though I agree that Zambrotta's play is restricted nowadays, I don't think it's due to his RIGHT-back role. Zambrotta has made less runs forward, ever since Capello introduced his tactics upon our team. To Capello's credit a bit though, Zambrotta's defensive skills are now among the best.
Anyway, about yesterday. Zambrotta was good in defence as always and showed a lot of initiative going forward. He had more than a few good and convincing runs upfront, and was crucial in two of the four goals scored. His attacking skills yesterday, also made me wish to see Capello field Zambrotta as midfielder again, even if it is just occasionally. Maybe even instead of Nedved, who did not look all that impressive to me, as he was to Swag appearantly. Though Nedved did look better than he has often looked this season. He seems to up his game in 'big' matches.
I do agree with Emerson's good ratings, he was my man of the match as well.
