The team went into a game looking for a draw, we were shit in the first half and aimlessly controlled the ball a little more in the second. We had no strategy when going forward. Our wing play was terrible, slow, and predictable.
The good news is that Ranieri will finally stop playing Nedved and Marchionni every single game. Finally some room for some much needed change. I expect o see Giovinco a lot more in the coming games for Neddy. Camo will play instead of Marchionni. Marchisio was decent, I wouldn't mind him although Tiago does offer more balance.
Player ratings.
Manninger 6 - He made some good saves, I thought he could have even saved Muntari's shot instead of complaining for offside. Sold overall.
Molinaro 4.5- He ran a lot as usual, he tried to come forward. I felt he was almost scared from Ibra though and let his guard down a number of times.
Chiellini 5.5 - I thought he was very good, our best defender by far.
Legro 4- Made a mistake you simply do not make in derbies. I think he didn't expect Marchisio's pass at all. Improved in the second half.
Grygera 3.5- He did nothing, was non-existent. He had some of the worst crosses I'd ever seen, and some very lazy defending. Not his night.
Sissoko- 6- Our best player in the middle. Stole the ball beautifully throughout the game.
Marchisio- 5.5 - He did well given the circumstances. He should play more often.
Marchionni 4 - He was not at all dangerous. He was predictable and slow.
Nedved 4 - Same as Marchionni.
Del piero 5.5- He was brilliant at times. he didn't get enough of the ball and this game was one of the typically physical encounters in which Alex never gets the chance to shine.
Amauri 4.5- The big man tried hard, he got no service. Materazzi had his pink shoes, I think he was pissed off because of that.
Subs
Camo- 5.5- I don't know why he didn't start. We need him, we have zero creativity without him in our midfield.
IQ -
Tiago -
Ranieri - 4 He got it all wrong today. The offside trap was shaky to say the least. The team went in satisfied with a draw. We were too defensive and it was obvious Camo had to start this one.
