This was a good game from us, although Siena didn't really test our defence like Roma and Real will do in the coming weeks, so we really don't know if the trident tactic works with "the-mother-of-all-error-makers"-Zebina in the defense when the big boys come to play.
I don't know could I ever be more happier after Juve game and the reason for that is DP. I've always loved DP and now to see his excellent form...it was just fantastic. I understand that he has deserved quite a bit of the criticism he has been given lately, but I also hope he can be given his due when there's a reason for that - both in the italian press and here at the forums. And it seems that people here are doing that.
Buffon - a solid game with not much to do. Played the few situations well - 6
Zebina - wow, this guy coudln't be more contradictory. In the other hand he does some wonderful plays in the attack but in the other hand he will always make few stupid errors in the defense. Well, today his achievements in attacking outweighed his defensing errors - 6.5
Thuram - a solid game in the defense. Had little trouble with the mediocre Siena forwards - 6.5
Cannavaro - look Thuram above - 6.5
Zambrotta - the good old Zambrotta as usual. Was a threat in the attack and playen defensively well also. A good game but not better than Zebina IMO - 6.5
Camoranesi - few nice tricks with the ball but he didn't really do anything concrete to help our attack - 6.0
Blasi - tried really hard and that's always great. He ran a lot and pressured Siena midfield (which wasn't particularly a hard job). Solid game but he really could use some help with his technique - 6.0
Emerson - a very good game. He did well in defence and in attack, all-around a solid, good game - 7.0
Zalayeta - did a few excellent plays and showed his great ball controlling skills. Sometimes he was a bit in shadow but great game nevertheless - 6.5/7.0
Del Piero - a wonderful game. In the first half he was a constant threat by dribbling players, making good passes and he also showed his off the ball-skills. Two great goals and man of the match - 7.5
Ibrahimovic - He was like a shadow. He couldn't control the ball and really didn't contribute at all to the attack. I give him credit for that he seemed to be trying hard. He's clearly out of the form at the moment - 5.0
-------------------------
Milan winning with that fluke goal is so f***ing annoying but what can you do? It's pretty obvious what we need to do for the rest of the season - win all the freaking games we have.
