Not the best match in the world but at least we dominated the opposition which is a nice change from what i have seen form us this season.
Reginna are a complete disgrace and to be fair it does take 2 to tango but when a team puts everyone behind the ball , its kinda difficult
Having said that we do lack the players who can run off the ball and make one touch passes to break down such dreadful teams like Reginna.
We have Camo who is skilful but too indivualistic at times and his final ball is not always the best, Emerson and Vieira are surprisingly poor in the crisp passing department. Only Tez and Dp seem adept in such things as Nedved too cannot pass properly.
I would like to see the teams that Reginna have beaten this season cos they are dire
Buffon : well i am not sure how he managed to play 90 minutes without running insane with boredom
Zambrotta: Not a bad performance, full of running, but another who does not pass the ball quickly 6.5
Thuram: an upturn on his previous performances but it was not difficult but still not diminant in the air 6
Cannavaro : a creditable performance by a creditable defender 6.5
Balzaretti: First time i saw him i was impressed with him, done nothing so far to disprove my confidence in him, would prefer to see him on the right , only because i think zambrotta is world class on the left , good pace and crosses, does not always release the ball on time, but i guess he has good role models for that and maybe lightweight at times defensively 6.5
Camoranesi: he does delight you with some exquisite skills and he did do some fantastic stuff, but he ought to release the ball earlier at times and his final ball should be better 6.5
Vieria: Not a bad performance but not a great one 6
Emerson: ditto 6
Nedved: Huffed and puffed, took some dreadful shots when he ought to have passed or struck them better, definitely better in the centre but really Mutu should paly ahead of him 5.5
Dp: Wonderful goal, great movement and motivation, linked very well with Trez, maybe too well as he seemed to be always looking to set up his partner when he ought to go for goal himself, and to be honest Dp has not set up Trez in the past couple of seasons. His control of long balls are still a sight to behold. If he had a little bit more pace, he would surely be a world beater, and thats let him down as he never seems to beat an opponent for pace, he goes pass them with skill but they catch up to him 7
Trez: a very good performance as he helped the team with his flicks and one touch football and his movemet was good, must be frustrating for him that we seem to be content with 1 goal no matter how hopeless the opposition is as the second half was dreadful. He wont wanna watch Arsenal Middles boro 6
Capello: I do not understand why he treats players like Mutu and Zlatan like that, whats the point in bringing on Zlatan so late in a game, i am sorry but its insulting to the player and serves no purpose whatsoever. The game was dead so it might have been better to have brought them up earlier to liven up proceedings.
Well at least he has tried in the fact that he brought on Balzaretti and Dp, but why not go the whole hog and drop Nedved too. I know you and you reps are reading this , so please enough with the 4-4-2 and is it really necessary to play Vieria and Emerson against such weak opposition?
To vinman: Why are you wasting your time with that cartoon character? I am talking about snoopy, please ignore him as films involving humans and cartoons don't always work, with who framed Jessica Rabbit being the exceptiion. And unlike the films , he is not funny
