What I mentioned before the game was exactly what happened tonight and I like that.
Ferrara did not focus on marking this or that, he worked on our worst department by adding balance. We have been inefficient and it was fixed by fielding Diego, Giovinco and Camoranesi. The balance was not created by the two poles though, it was achieved by having either Camo or Diegi helping the giants take the ball forward. Melo and Momo simply didn't let the Doria forwards play football tonight.
Very true! Cassano is still one hell of a player, but I still stand on what I said before, no to swapping him with Giovinco, and I would take Jovetic over Cassano any second. Still Cassano is one hell of a player
No but seriously. It's not that we won 5-1 but our play was unbelievable. I mean, what the fuck do you people want to see to give higher ratings? It's all 6's and 7's...jeez...
Well this was a totally different performance. I hope Ciro learns from this. No valid reason to pick DC ahead of Gio anymore. Gio really should be playing regular football. Also thought Samp never really hit 2nd gear, i think defensively we are a different side when Canna is back there. He was rock in the first half. First one to every ball towards Pazzini.
I was quite shocked how bad Samp defense looked. Of course it was our class what proved the difference, but their defense was terrible, they can thank their GK or it could have been even bigger win.
Its performances like today what make me think we could win the Scudetto.
The fact that people have to stress, "Cassano is one hell of a player, Cassano is one hell of player," whenever talking about ANOTHER player, for fear of getting jumped on, is pathetic.
Don't get carried away Rab. Giovinco may be brilliant, but he still has a long way to go before he reaches Cassanos level. And btw, if we are going to play this formation for the coming years, we don't need an Ale replacement.
It's only normal to get carried away, Seba under all this pressure he's facing he's been outstanding to me this year. He's surrounded by world class players around him and he's making his way. Unlike Cassano, couldn't cut it to Real and had to play for Sampdoria where he can make a thing or two there but not against top teams.
What a great performance, I think that formation and those players could always threaten to produce something as great as that. Very refreshing after the crap at Siena.
Oh c'mon what is this...I think he had amazing tackles and especially in the first half where he played like a monster. He had some mistakes but not that many, just minor ones.
Somebody to answer? What's the difference between this and our 2-1 win? I don't see it. You all gave 6 and 7 to our players where you couldn't see a better performances tonight...
This kid have it all and is ready, he is no "promising youngster" anymore, hopefully Ferrara is aware of that. He rarely disappoints, but if you put him behind two strikers and front of 3 defensive midfielders, sure he can't do anything, not even Diego could..
Oh, but he's a world class player............... Playing world class matches vs Lecce, Bologna, Reggina and against Inter and Juve he's ......... um, also a world class player.
