Match Ratings:
Buffon....7/10. Made no errors, commanded his area with majestic presence, and took one for the team with an intelligent tactical foul to save a certain goal.
Chiellini...6.5/10...Tried hard to drive the team onwards, breaking out of defence to make up numbers in midfield whenever possible. But unable to hide the inadequacies to his left and right.
Legro...3/10. Unsurprisingly shocking. Ring rusty, without pace or positional awareness.
Grosso...3/10. He seems to get slower with every passing game. With what we presently have as alternatives, I would rather see Sali or De Cegli at left back. At least they can cross and the youngster has pace, the goblin has determination.
Grygera...6/10. Competent yet unspectacular. I look forward to Caceres' return.
Momo...6.5/10. His usual hustle and bustle and wretched passing. Good to see him back in the ranks.
MArchisio...6/10. Showed as many decent touches and poor touches. His growth has sorely stagnated in recent months.
Sali...5.5/10 Added some urgency to the right flank and never gave in, but a menace TO OUR TEAM, once moved to defence.
Diego...6.5/10. The ONLY player in a Juve shirt who looks capable of consistently maintaining possession and successful distribution. He has definite quality on the ball. But all too often, when he passes the ball, he wont get it back...
DP...6.5/10. Beautiful strike for the goal, but generally poor. No pace, No strength...
Amauri...3/10. Missed the only chance he managed to find, by heading straight at the keeper. His all round game is a shambles. And I place MUCH of the blame of our recent crises, at his feet.
Candreva...N/a...no time to get into the game.
Paolucci...N/A
Our passing game is atrocious. We take too many touches on the ball, and play very obvious passes (Diego exempt). Lacking ideas. Our defence caught out with any pace or decent balls whipped in from the flanks. Nobody looks to Ciro for help, because he is the Cause, not the Solution. That much is clear, to me and the players.
No positives can be taken from yet another anemic performance in a HUGE game, against one of our most fierce rivals, in front of OUR OWN FANS. As the saying goes 'dont shit in your own nest', but we do it every chance we get...
