For the first time I really believed we would turn this around and am glad we did. Comical start by the defence as usual but the grit & superiority saw us through.
But we DID get a penalty, and we DID get a player sent off. So deal with it, and stop whining about the win being fugly.
Seriously guys, can't you guys just celebrate the win for once without pointing out every fuckin' flaw with our team? It gets irritating after a while.
The red card and the goals are valid imo, but the penalty, I still believe it was a nice gift by the referee, this pulling and pushings happen all the time in serie a, and specially by Bonucci himself and Chiellini..
Pathetic start it was. Not just because of the conceded goal but because we were too lethargic. Only Del Piero was trying and his commitment today imo lifted the others. The penalty came in the best moment possible because even while playing ok, there was a danger that they'd have defended the lead till halftime and then defend in numbers. We owe a lot to Pellegrino for committing a penalty and getting a red. After that it was easy.
The negative is putting Melo on in the second half, of course. If he wasn't fit then don't play him. Now God knows how long will he be out. The second and constant negative is Motta. He's like a ghost in defense and it seems like instead of becoming better, his positioning is becoming worse.
Actually I didn't really like Bonucci in this game, but then again my streaming was lagging throughout the first half and we were shit anyway then. Just felt that on certain occasions he did unnecessary fancy stuff... and I wasn't too secure with him doing that.
