Nedved and Molinaro were our 2 best players over the 90 minutes. Molinaro actually delivered quite a few nice crosses, and made numerous runs which caused Atalanta problems. He didn't get caught out either, which only shows how hard he works. Alot of u are tough on him, but his work ethic is good, and he has been slowly improving. Nedved was his typical self, MOTM.
Legro/Chiellini and Nocerino/Zanetti were consistent as always (special mention to Nocerino).
Palladino had a tough game. His crosses were off, but at least he got in positions to cross, which cant be said for his replacement, Marchionni. Palladino was poor, but calling for his head is a bit to much. He in entitled to a bad game. Lets not forget Nedved and Del Piero were off for the first 2 months of the season.
Del Piero was fantastic, and gave our offense the imagination it was missing in and around the Atalanta box in the 1st half.
Zebina's yelllow, what an idiot. He puts the team at risk taking foolish card's like that. Hopefully Ranieri says something.
Its frustrating that it took that long, but Atalanta are a pretty good side and made us work hard for the win. They were stubborn at the back, and almost came close on a few occassions (Buffon with a nice save early in the match). Even if it ended in a tie, I dont think we were poor. We had our chances, and the players worked hard, unlike vs Empoli a few days ago.
