Very disappointed with the result, but not about the performance. Some days, it's just not going to happen & this was one of those days. The disallowed goal being a prime example. Thought we played well, an entirely different approach compared to the last few games. Though it must be said that Genoa's play helped as well, since they actually tried to create something rather than just sitting back.
One has to appreciate the irony about the subs though. Many of us have been crying to see Elia & DP get some playing time, but yesterday they actually weakened the squad instead of adding something...
Buffon 7,5 - Compared to Frey he had little to do, but still kept us in the game at times.
Lichtsteiner 6 - No major complaints. But he has lost a bit of that edge he had early on in the season.
Caceres 6,5 - A bit rash at times, but pretty good. Fairly smart as well, which I did not expect.
Vidal 6 - A few shaky moments, but I guess that's only normal.
De Ceglie 6,5 - Quite good, apart from a moment or 2.
Marchisio 6,5 - Good game, made sure Vidal wasn't really missed in the middle. But he really should have scored.
Pirlo 6,5 - Good game.
Giaccherini 6 - Overall not bad, but a few terrible moments/decisions.
Pepe 6,5 - Clumsy? Yes. Annoying? Yes. But look at what he delivers: one disallowed goal and a number of brilliant crosses & through balls: most notably the one Giac managed to fumble 3 minutes in the game & the cross Vucinic managed to head wide in the 2nd half. If only everyone delivered as much. Half as much even...
Vucinic 7 - Truly excellent first half, but not a great second.
Matri 6 - Okay game.
Elia 5,5 - Must be a very difficult situation for him. But let's not sugarcoat it, this was not promising. Quite the opposite actually. Looked like some kid that was playing his first football game.
Del Piero NR - Not a good impression, but needs more time.
Borriello NR - Needs less time.
