I don't know who to blame for the teams consistent horrible start to matches. What i mean by that is we take too long to get into a match like we did "again" today. Once we started going and pushing forward i was happy with what i saw, but we concede stupid goals far too early in the game. The result does not reflect the performance that's for sure. But seriously, this team needs to start the games with much more intensity, it almost feels like they aren't sure how to play and are waiting for the opposition to make the first move, unluckily for us their first move was a good goal.
I could be completely wrong in my game analysis. Maybe I should blame our defense more as they are the ones that fall asleep early on. It is just frustrating because every good chance we get to make up ground on the leaders ends up in disappointment losing points...2 points could go a long way in this season as it nears the end, but 1 point will not do us any good no matter the result of the Milan(s) match tonight. I was glad to see giovinco come on, why he is not starting completely confuses me because every time he steps on the pitch he adds something like he did today, even if its for 20 mins or a whole half. Like Camo, his presence adds that sense of insecurity in the opposition because he is so much less predictable than that of DC or Neddy when they are on the left. We need that as it makes the opposition's defense less solid and united when Camo/Gio are taking them on or cutting in instead of always going to the byline.
Too bad for Camo as he wasnt fit enough to play the whole match, not much could be done about that sub. Lippi should not have played him, selfish move I think for our Azzurri coach.
But Marchisio in the 89th minute when Tiago was playing a great game? That move wasted more time than doing the team good...Tiago should have finished the game in my opinion. I saw 2 good subs and 1 bad from CR, that is if Camo was still not fit enough to play a whole match.
