What an odd game this was. Unlike a lot of people, I don't think it was amusing, let alone funny.
I really can't be bothered to go into great detail about the individual performances, but I do have a few remarks.
- One (small) moment of bad luck is enough to ruin an entire game. We were playing decent enough (not good, but what can you realistically expect?) until the fluke Chievo goal. After that, we played as organised as a bunch of 6- year olds.
- Aquilani needs to go. I can't believe it has come to this, but right now I'd rather pay 7,5m for Pepe, than that same amount for Aqui. And Pepe is just, well, crap.
- Even though our defenders all played quite well individually, as a unit it just doesn't work. The 2nd goal & the 3rd goal (yeah, they missed it, but still) just prove that. Honestly, how is it Marchisio was the one receiving the Chievo pass on our goalline?
- For all our players' talks about "being with the coach", they continue to screw it up for him. Del Neri obviously isn't the greatest coach ever, but I am 100% certain that what happened last night (after the 1st goal) has nothing to do with his instructions.
Edit: Nice to see you still enjoyed it somewhat, Dru. Where did you end up sitting?
