We did what we had to. A win, clean sheet, and more important- no yellow cards.
I really liked Pazienza's performance. It's good to know that we have a more than decent backup to our starting 3 midfielders.
No idea what Giac did on the pitch, despite him getting the penalty from the ref.
I feel really bad for Alex. You could tell how frustrated he was, getting injured right after getting his real chance of a whole half.
He played well when he was on. Hope it's nothing serious..

we had a hard time beeing creative and matri/vucinic wasted some half chances, but especially vucinic, working hard, doing good things
second half quag in for matri, quag had a good game
del piero came in for vucinic
minutes after, rossi tried kicking at a ball as high as alex head, and hit him on the eye, he was taken of on a stretcher, in pain and bleeding, giac on
marchisio scored a nice goal from a pass from vidal
cross by licht, keeper punches away, on marchisio's chest, and bounces away, ref decides its penalty, vidal makes 2-0
at the end, licht was in the way of a quag shot that would have made 3-0
Conte asked for continuity and our team delivered!
We are really Pirlo dependent, we had the opportunity today to try for new faces and formations, but we didnt.
Our standard issues were exposed yet again (defensive solidarity and lack of prolific strikers)
but it was a game against a relegate battler, one even a mid table team should win with ease and so we did!
Positive performances from Pazienza and Giacche today, Bonucci was yet again our worst player and DP took one more for the team...
The point is though that we are back on top and still living the dream that started from the very first day of this championship!

Soft as shit pen, but I'll take that stuff all day long. I reckon I could have made a better penalty save attempt than Rodriguez.
The big goal was obviously Marchisio, that boy is pulling in the points this year with those goals.
I thought we were totally dominant for an hour of the game, then the injury to Del Piero shook us in terms of our shape, but we stuck at it and got the 1-0 lead. This is important, because too often last season we would be in that position and just let the game peter out whilst we throw crosses into the box or shoot from distance. Playing our football eventually told.
