Nice game of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, nice first half and a quite ridiculous second half
Who will be a manager? Capello will be extolled for not making any subs, when in all honesty, he looked clueless and was expecting a draw, cos quite frankly , if it was me, i would have taken off, both Zlatan and Nedved, but then again I would have failed as we went on to win with Capello ding nothing but folding his arms. While his opposite number decides to bring on Maggio who was quite hopeless thruout and Pancaro who helped us to win the game. Basic rule of defending, Guisseppe, do not let the ball bounce.
I thought we played really well in the first half but then again i was half asleep, but it looked good and the tempo was nice. In the second half , the game generally was poor , but this time i was awake, but Fiorentina cannot defend and Luca Toni falls down too much.
Abiatti put up a very fine performance as he made some telling stops which might have embarassed us 6.5
Zambrotta : contrary to what I am reading on here, i was quite impressed with him, as he continued to turn Brocchi inside out and that was why Prandelli brought on Pancaro for Brocchi which ironically gave us our winning goal. But I thought he was good yesterday 6.5
Chiellini: I keep on reading he has potential and he is good, i am sorry, i cannot see the potential and I am not impressed with him at all, and he was not good yesterday either 5
Cannavaro: I gotta say , he has not impressed me that much this season and it was not exception in this game 5.5
Thuram: was simply superb as he showed Toni who is boss , ramming those assholes voices with their stupid racist chants down their throats 7
Vieria: held on too the ball , too long and lost it twice in dangerous positions far too often, passes went astray and not that happy with his display 5
Emerson: was not as good as he was in the cup game but stil put up a very good display 6.5
Camonaresi: was superb in the first half, went off the boil a bit inb the second but managed to score the winner and some natty air guitar celebrations to boot 7.5
Nedved: if you are not gonna play him in the middle, do not play him at all, he did not contribute 5
Zlatan: rave reviews from almost everyone, but I am sorry i did not see it, yes he passed the ball, but he is meant to pass the ball, he should not be praised for doing something which is mandatory, he gave the ball away too often, he lost the ball too often and i personally think he is off form , his shooting was wayward also 5.5
Trez : well his movement is better to be honest, but he has to be the only player on earth that cannot kick a football thats stationary, it has to be in the air where he volleys to generate any kind of power, but he scored and made the goal for Camo so he had a very good game 6.5
Capello: well , he did not have to do anything, cannot say his tactics worked cos it will be hypocritical of me to praise something i do not believe in just because it worked and then issue out blame when it does not work 6
