I think it's safe to say that despite spending the least out of all the big teams, we actually look like the most powerful team right now. Despite a quite hazardous transfer season, we look like we have the best team so far.
Udinese is considered as one of the better teams in serie A, definitely in the top 6. To be able to dominate a team like that from start to finish is not at all an easy task, I think our secret was the midfield, particularly in the center.
Poulsen and Sissoko are beasts out there, a lot more threatening that the Zanetti- Momo partnership last season. It's probably because Momo and Poulsen are so good in leaving absolutely no room for the opponent to manuever in the middle.
add to this Momo's occassional run where he skips past three defenders and somehow finds a way to threaten the goal or Poulsen's passing and shooting which aren't abilities destroyers are know to have.
Our attack is incredible to say the least, Amauri is one of our most talented players in years, IQ is always very while there isn't much reason to speak of
Ale and Trez.
I was very surprised with our defending last night. Chiellini is incredible, if you would parter a roll of toilet paper next to Chiellini, that role of toilet paper would look like a world class player. Melberg, who was shambolic last week suddenly looked a new man.
De Ceglie finally did what were all hoping he would do, he proved what trash Molinaro is. He was outstanding, I'm confident he will start a lot more this season. his runs were excellent, he is accurate and isn't nearly as clumsy as Molinaro, then again, who is?
I liked the team last night, it was a very positive performance. Hoping they repeat this performance against Zenith.
Btw, why wasn't Giovinco in the squad? he wasn't even on the bench.
