Once again, a decent game by us, in which we are lucky enough to take the lead. We just can't hold on to it, let alone expand our lead. And it's not like we change our game completely after scoring, but there does seem to be some kind of panic kicking in.
Then, once we concede, we completely lose the plot & start panicking even more. Unorganized attacking, silly fouls, shaky defense, ...
If you ask me, it's a psychological issue more than anything. A new coach could very well solve that, but obviously not in 2 days time.
Manninger 6 - Tested once & made the save. Could do very little about the goal.
Grygera 5 - Mostly decent at the back, but should have done better on the goal. His attacking contributions were not a big success, but at least he tried.
Cannavaro 6 - Used his experience well, pretty easy game for him.
Chiellini 6 - Some lousy clearances/passes, but overall did a good job.
De Ceglie 6,5 - Good game. Held his own in defense and always provided our attack with options on the left.
Sissoko 6,5 - Some absolutely great moments, coupled with some shaky ones. Even regularly troubled the Lazio defense, but he's obviously not a technical player.
Melo 6,5 - Two weeks in a row now that he's one of the best players on the pitch. Encouraging.
Candreva 6 - Saw some nice moves & passes. He does seem to have a good insight and knows where & how to pass. Not afraid to take his chances either. Still, again he went missing some times.
Diego 6,5 - Good but unlucky.
Del Piero 5,5 - Overall rather poor. Cool finish on the PK though.
Amauri 5,5 - Some very useful work as a target man. Nice flicks. But he's just not going to score, is he?
Caceres 5,5 - Not entirely sure why he came on. No real impact, but that was to be expected.
Paolucci -
