Quite a good & very controlled game from us, but almost destroyed by the gruesome twosome up front. Having your goalie do virtually nothing for an entire game against Napoli says enough about how smart this game was played.
Highlight of the game: De Ceglie's facial expression when Chiellini was elbowed.
Buffon 6 - Euhm, thanks for coming.
Barzagli 7 - Makes it look easy. Another smart game.
Bonucci 7 - Surprisingly good & composed.
Chiellini 7 - Good game.
Lichtsteiner 6 - Okay-ish. I don't like him in this setup. I probably would have fielded someone else.
De Ceglie 6 - Not bad, but a bit shaky.
Vidal 7 - Tireless running & immense workrate, coupled with a shitload of amateur mistakes. But a pretty fine goal.
Pirlo 6,5 - Ups & downs throughout the game, but definitely more positives than negatives.
Marchisio 6,5 - Did his job.
Vucinic 5,5 - Quite poor, apart from 20 min or so.
Borriello 5 - Meh, I actually saw a few good things, but the incessant whining & complaining is unbearable.
Caceres 6 - No major complaints.
Quagliarella 6,5 - Nice. Only the 2nd or 3rd time this season he looked lively.
Del Piero -
