Most relaxing Juve game I've seen in a long time. Once the game was underway, there were very little worries for me.
But what exactly was Sampdoria's approach to this game? Their starting lineup was ok, pretty well organized but Del Neri really screwed it up by bringing on Belucci if you ask me. Sure, we were already leading at the time, but after that sub it became really easy for us to control the game.
Buffon 6 - Quiet evening. Had to intervene once, which he did. His presence is always felt though.
Grygera 5,5 - Nothing bad happened, but his positioning & marking were a bit off.
Cannavaro 6 - Good game.
Chiellini 7 - Really good at the back. And to make things even better, he decided to go have a stroll up the park.
Grosso 6,5 - Mostly competent performance in defense & added something going forward. Nice assist.
Sissoko 6,5 - Still a lot of mistakes, but in the 4-2-3-1 formation his presence is absolutely vital.
Melo 6 - Some bad passing, but very little troubles for him last night.
Camoranesi 6,5 - I didn't really like most of his performance, but in the end he did have an assist + a goal. So I guess I'm wrong...
Diego 6,5 - Very involved, some brilliant stuff. Lost the ball a few times though & he's not thinking fast enough at times.
Giovinco 7 - Went missing for long periods of the game. What he did was mostly awesome though.
Amauri 8 - I think it's fair to say he's back. 2 goals, 1 assist & troubling the Samp defense at all times. And yet he still looked rather irritated at times.
Poulsen 6 - Did what he's supposed to.
De Ceglie 5,5 - Didn't really get involved a lot.
Trezeguet 6 - I just love how easy he gets away from his marker(s) to end up in scoring positions. It is unreal. Too bad he missed a sitter.
