Molinaro is being rated with 5.0 every match? Yea and who is rating him that way? Many people on this Forum who think they are the real experts.
Just for your information, average rating of Molinaro for this whole season by Gazzeta dello Sport is 6.30. So, you do the math.
If he has such a high average then i wonder what kind of average Nocerino, Chiellini and even Legro have...
Player ratings from Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere della Sera and Corriere dello Sport.
Juventus: Buffon 6,33 - Zebina 6,00, Legrottaglie 6,33, Chiellini 6,33, Molinaro 6,67 - Palladino 5,00 (46' Marchionni 5,17), Nocerino 5,83, C. Zanetti 6,17, Nedved 7,33 (91' Tiago) - Trezeguet 5,33, Iaquinta 5,33 (46' Del Piero 6,67). - Ranieri 6,33.
For this game i also rated Molinaro with a 6.6, most of my ratings do match we Gazzetta's ( a disgusting thought though)
But it doesnt prove anything, by this logic he is better than Chiellini, they probably rate ball possession above other things, but IMO Chie was more efficient and cleared the ball every time he was called, Molinaro instead made many mistakes, esp when he had to cross. Under those circumstances i trust and value more the ratings of some of the members here, because i know their logic and i m able to understand what their ratings represent! Even if some ppl rate differently, you can understand the variation of performance. This week Molinaro was ver very good for his standards and everybody rated him 1 point more than the usual, that would mean 6.5 average, so you can do the maths...
Yes, it could be the case, but you made it sound like it is the case and like it happened. You made it sound like Molinaro already got the chance to play with other reserves and he was awful there because he's also just a reserve player quality. And then you said how even Almiron is 10x times better than him.
While the fact is :
Molinaro didn't play against Empoli, or at least he didn't play while we've been destroyed. He, Nocerino and Iaquinta played only the last part of the match, when it was already 2:0 for Empoli. After these three entered the pitch we suddenly stopped Vannucchi from doing whatever he wants on the right side (our left side), we suddenly shut down their midfield and we scored a goal.
And all this happened while we were a man down because the 10x better player got himself a nice red card.
Oh and this.... the first time he got the chance to play with many reserves, in the first coppa match against Parma, he scored the opening goal.
We are starting to understand each other:toast:
Molinaro did played, with the other reserves and he was awful, but thats not my point, the most important thing that i m trying point out, is, that he got much more playing time than others. And not because he earned that playing time on the field, by showing good performance!
Just like i said, the very same Legro sucked with the reserves and played a decent game among the standards.(if Andrade and Boumsong were fit he would probably had problems after this performance) When Molinaro came in, nothing really changed, it was players like Iaquinta and Neddy that always do the difference and some of us fail to see it, because we are used to it. Instead Molinaro has getting us used, with mediocre performances and when he does a decent one, once in a month, you ppl get so jubilant.
And why did i said that Almiron is 10 times better than Molinaro?
(Beside the fact that Almiron, is more experienced and skilled.)
Because i ve seen Almiron lead a team and make a difference by his own,
i ve seen almost all of our pre-season games and Almiron was steadily one of our best players. I ve never seen Molinaro being so good and dominant, ever!
The difference between those two is that Almiron has to face a huge competition,
if he doesnt deliver,just once, anyone between Tiago,Nocerino and Zanetti could replace him. Whilst there is no one to replace Molinaro when he sux. Thats a huge difference there. Molinaro doesnt feel any kind of pressure right now, the kind of pressure that crippled Balza.
Another example is Tiago, the guy really sucked at pre season games and at the beginning of the season,thats why he didnt get the chance to prove him self again, he put a few half decent appearances, the very limited times he had his chance and thats it. If he had more chances and we hadnt any alternative solutions,
he could also deliver the same performances Molinaro delivers and most probably even better. It doesnt he is a worse player than Molinaro. Molinaro didnt earned his place by pulling good performances. He was as bad, as Tiago and Almiron were at the beginning, but unfortunately we didnt have any other alternative solutions and we had to put up with him, he may be improving but he still hasnt done enough to be considered a Juve starter, (not even Juve material if you ask me)
Good will isnt enough, for this level of fotbal. Molinaro's work rate isnt anything special to compensate the lack of his skills, we even doubt even if Nocerino's is and Rinocer really has it in him! An average serie A player would have shown the same work rate at this age and the same determination while being a Juve starter. Molinaro is nothing out of ordinary. If you believe that he has some special skills that will be revealed/honed under the guidance of our super coach,
its another story. I have seen almost all of our games this season and i have spent two years beside a former coach, speaking about tactics and studying young talents, so far i havent noticed anything unnatural in Molinaro's skills, i wonder what you saw. So far i talked about the skills Molinaro havent and i havent heard any skills Molinaro has, so far i have seen our wings getting dominated from Molinaro's side when Neddy wasnt present, so far i ve seen most of the oppositions playmakers prefer this side to make their counterattacks, so far i ve seen our left wing THE most idle wing and part on field when we dont have Neddy's support. So far i have seen minimal assists or succesful crosses of Molinaro's legs, so far i have seen a minimal number of counterattacks blocked by Molinaro's efforts. Where is that guy? What does he offers in our team and you pll admire him so much? What kind of miracles you expect from CR?
If CR or any other coach can perform such miracles and make a Zambro out of that Molinaro, than why all the big teams spend big sums for tranfers every year?
They are all so stupid, they could just get a kid like Molinaro and make a champion out of him...:melayyanandmessi:
