We simply played better than the prev games (Lazio,Siena,Samp) not that we were that good, But better IMO.
The first half was little bit poor as we couldn't find the net untill Del Piero stroke that amazing piece of shot. However, our first 20min was good after that we started witnessing some bad passes from Vieira and Emerson to Camoranesi and Nedved...They did the defensive work today perfectly, but not to the attack. Specially Vieira and Nedved. Our defence was solid, you gotta like the young Balz.
Second half was way better, we dominated the game but couldn't find the net just like the first half, we wasted lot of chances, we did lot of counter attacks, thanks to our Defenders...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffon- Did nothing at all, Reggina's men didn't really test buffon today....No rate.
Zambrotta- His performance was great today, attacking and trying to shoot, giving us his long runs as we used to see him...didn't see him in the 1st half much, his second was good. 6
Thuram- He was Solid, did no mistakes, but then again Reggina's men didn't really put our defenders nor Buffon in a good test....6
Cannavaro- Another Solid performance by the ex-parma man....You feel safe whenever he's there. 6
Balz- I like the kid!!! Though his first half wasn't really that good like his second, in couple of matches as a (Starter) he'll be another Zambrotta in the team. The kid can run, shoots, cover well, gives the team lot of counter attacks...good second half boy. 6.5
Emerson- Really poor first half, not that his second half was better but little bit more acceptable. I don't what was wrong with him, his passes, stamina, in attacking, was really weak...didn't like the our Puma's performance today..5.5
Vieira- Another player to performe poor, when It comes to defending he's there, but then again he's not playing the same way he was in his first 2months with us..Bad passes, bad ball control, should have helped our attackers more today..5
Nedved- Just like Patrick, Pavel is defending in such a great way, however, he's not the player in attack that we used to know, I'm still confident he can change. Should have scored in his second half...5.5
Camoranesi- It was a good move from Capello to subs him, but that should have been early, maybe because I got use to see him giving the assists he was last year or at the beg of the season. He's more trying to dribble and always shooting from outside the range....his second half was little bit better than his first 5.5
Del Piero- MoM, our best player in the game IMO, did score the only goal that gave us the 3points, and what a goal a crucial one. His first 20min in the first half were good, gived trezeguet couple of good passes and not to forget earning fouls, too bad he didn't score a freekick today...His second half was also good, but should have moved faster in the counter attacks...his last combination with Mutu who delivered the ball to Ibra was great. Bravo Ale...7
Trezeguet- Didn't do much, he tried...It shows how hungry he was to score after he failed against Palermo....But however we all know David is the kind of player that doesn't do much but to finish a deadly ball...Too bad today he couldn't do that. But he should try more to open some space for himself...5.5
Mutu and Zlatan- I wont rate them...Mutu did great coming to the pitch, Capello should have done that early in the game....about Zlatan, I don't know how he could miss that chance, maybe It's because he wasnt warm enough. He should know by now how it is to play 3min when you're not warm enough....
Capello- Again I have a problem with his subs....Mutu to enter early thats Inculding Zlatan replacing Trezeguet...and maybe resting Vieira who was somehow poor tonight.
