So let's forget about predictions of scorelines. I'll go out on a limb and say this is my rather predictable player ratings in advance:
Buffon - 6.5 - Saved our asses a few times. As for that last goal, he didn't stand a chance given how the defense left him naked and all. MoM
Molinaro - 6 - Decent defensive outing. Tried to push upfield alright. Still can't cross.
Legro - 6 - A couple of dodgy moments, but held it together for the most part. Nice header for the score.
Mellberg - 5 - Some games he takes risks and almost gives up the penalty. Fortunately this was close but not one of those games. Still needs to stop turning the ball over so easily, though... and needs to learn how to pass to his teammates.
Grygera - 5 - Was he playing?
Marchionni - 4 - A man running around with his head cut off.
Poulsen - 5 - Still not up to strength/health. Really needed to do more to contribute to possession. But a few ok stops.
Sissoko - 6 - Some crazy tackling. Wish he did more for possession and in his finishing, though.
Nedved - 5 - Nedved needs a week between games as it is.
Amauri - 5.5 - Been in a funk lately, but he hasn't been getting good service either. Keep at it.
Del Piero - 6 - A few moments of brilliance with a lot of downtime inbetween.
Coach:
Ranieri - 5 - Team wasn't very prepared. Some stupid subs. No Giovinco
again of course...
:doh: Oye, have we gotten that predictable...
