Napoli were underwhelming. They were very physical, but lacked innovation and purpose. Cavani was their only threat. We didn't play our best match, but against the second best team in the league; I think it's clear that we have a far superior squad. This win was crucial, not because it's going to decide the Scudetto but because of the huge morale boost it will give us.
We need Vidal to up his game. I haven't seen his intensity in a while. He seems very frustrated. Marchiso has been outstanding for 4 consecutive games and that is worth something. Pirlo had an okay game, with one brilliant pass to Matri. Speaking of Matri, he is just not good enough. He's useful as a poacher, but in games like these where you don't get clear cut chances, Matri is pretty much useless.
Giovinco deserves a lot of praise for his performance. He was quick, dynamic, full of pace, and ideas and was a constant threat to Napoli throughout the game.
I think he will be a very important asset with time; especially when he grows in confidence. I'm sure Conte will get the best out of him. Caceres scores when you least expect him to. That is, when off form, on the bench, and disregarded. Good for him. I'm very happy for Pogba, who I think is an excellent player. He has better ball control than most of the players on the team; he is calm, confident, and is very mature for someone his age. He also looked very pumped up when he came in. Loved his goal, very well taken strike. He should get much more playing time.
