My insights:
We showed today that we can play WHEN WE WANT TO. I am happy with how we played the game. I am happy that we tried to win even though the game was in san siro. I am also happy because I saw some of what Juventus is all about. We play OUR game regardless of the team.
In the second half many factors played into how we performed.
First factor was exhaustion. We played thursday then sunday, which is worse than Wed then Sun. Moreover, we came from two away matches back to back. Thats another factor.
Second thing: I did like how Del Neri rotated the players. I agree that it seemed that Del Piero was not in full fitness to start the match. But in HT he should have came in for Quag. I think this Sub would have won us the game. Because if you look at our attacking performance in the first half, our passes were either too early or too late. Del Piero gives u the best timing of passes. He could have split the defense a few times and made use of Iaquinta's speed.
I cracked up laughing reading Goal.com's rating for Alberto. He played a really good game. He gave in some really nice passes.
Storari: He impressed me today. I was always split between him and Manninger, but now it is safe to say that Storari is better than manninger.
Defense: Very solid game. I was impressed the most by DC's defensive performance.
Midfield: As a group they worked well. They were predictable in most of the cases though due to the lack of a left wing. But they did muscle out Inter's midfield in the first half. A midfield consisting of Stankovic, Sneider, Cambiasso.
Forward: Iaq and Quag were in complete lack of sync. They tried hard, but they were simply not on the same page. Hence Iaquinta being offside 100 times.
Del Neri: In general good match. I would have subbed Quag not Iaq. But then again, we don't know what the situation was. Maybe Alex was not ready to play 45 min. Maybe, Iaq got tired..etc But theoretically speaking that would have been my sub.
