[Serie A] Bologna 1-1 JUVENTUS (postponed to March 7th) (11 Viewers)
- Thread starter Azzurri7
- Start date
If only Marchiso scored that goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!! We need to win. Matri should play everygame cuz he at least puts away chances like that. The best we can ask for given how the rest of the offense is playing. Marchiso's miss is just as bad as RVP and Nocerino yesterday.
Buffon: 5.5 - The goal wasn't his fault, and he didn't really have much to do throughout the match.
Lichtsteiner: 5 - Not great today. Screwed up the offside trap for the goal, and wasn't that effective in attack despite playing in his favoured formation.
Caceres: 6 - Did well despite having Bonucci as his partner. Good to know that he'll be a viable option for us at CB.
Bonucci: 0 - I missed Boumsong today. Seriously, get this guy out of here. He's not even worthy to be a backup. Probably in the bottom 1% percentile of defenders in Serie A, and an utterly brainless player with barely a positive attribute to his name. Nobody was surprised that he got sent off.
De Ceglie: 6 - Ran hard all game and generally defended well. Didn't do as much attacking/crossing as usual, but he was one of our better players today.
Vidal: 6.5 - Saved our asses countless times and got his job done.
Pirlo: 7 - Pure class. Ran the show well despite having incompetents in front of him, and even managed to set the lethargic Vucinic up with an absolute top-drawer pass. He also played a bit of a destroyer role, harassing well and making more tackles than Marchisio.
Marchisio: 5.5 - Not very good, but not disastrous either. Needs to get a lot more involved, and should have scored. He was offside, but I think it wasn't called.
Pepe: 6.5 - One of the few bright sparks today. Didn't start very well and had his usual braindead moments, but throughout the second half he was constantly pressuring well and putting in good balls. Could have had an assist or two if it weren't for the terrible finishing.
Vucinic: 6 - Bonus mark only because he scored the equaliser, but apart from that he was terrible. Slow, predictable and utterly lacking creativity, though he did get a confidence boost after scoring. Like I said in the Live thread, Vucinic has Matrix-style bullet time ability, only it works in reverse: he slows down while everyone else moves at normal speed.
Borriello: 3 - Missed some sitters and fluffed everything that came his way. I hope he's 6th choice at best next season. The defence of Borriello sounds a lot like what Amauri's fans said about him: "he holds up the ball, he runs well etc." We might have actually had a lucky goal if he had just moved out of the way instead of trying to finish it.

Conte: 0 - Right formation, poor starting line-up, and as usual didn't use his subs to any effect whatsoever. Quag was brought on about 70 minutes too late, and Padoin and Giacch on for Pepe and Vucinic showed that he was happy to maintain the unbeaten streak instead of going for the win.
I'm seriously concerned about Conte. He started the season well, making the right choices and showing that he had the balls to change his tactics as necessary, but lately he's become no better than Delneri.

Padoin: N.R. - Not his fault he didn't do much. It was a totally ineffective sub.
Giacch: N.R. - Didn't make much of an impact, though he was given precious little time to do so.
Quag: N.R. - Really needs to play more to get his touch back, because he looked way rusty.
Lichtsteiner: 5 - Not great today. Screwed up the offside trap for the goal, and wasn't that effective in attack despite playing in his favoured formation.

The same Matri who scored against Milan twice in ten minutes is out of form? Is Del Piero out of form too, cause I don't think I've seen that happen too much. But yeah, let's take your word for it and agree that starting that fucktard Boriello was our best option. This is on Conte 100% and he also needs to stop playing Bonucci, I don't want to see him start ever again after Barza and Chiellini come back. I'd much rather prefer a duo of Caceres and Vidal actually.
What!? C'mon, we were all begging Conte starts 4-3-3 again, now you're saying it's wrong?
I've said it before (as have others) this formation needs more creativity, but this is the best we've got right now.
Do you really think Matri would've had done better in those situations were the ball was under Bordello's feet with 3/4 bollogna players around him?
I even doubt he would've scored that clear chance in the 2nd half.
It's all 50/50 with any of our strikers.
