Positives to come from this game: Tiago played well. Sissoko seems to be a good signing.
Negatives to come from this game: Our defense proves that they are awful again. Salihamidzic can't cross, or play well. Long balls don't work. Ranieri doesn't think. Nocerino is pathetic. Individual magic saves us a point yet again.
Ranieri has gone through this season relying on players like Del Piero and Nedved to provide some great skill to save us games. It is now February, and the team holding third in Serie A have won a single game in 2008.
Look at the substitutions made. They were bullshit. How Nocerino lasted 90 minutes is beyond me. He was by far and wide our worst player out there. Even Molinaro played better than Sali today.
Long balls don't work. End. Fucking. Of.
Belardi - 8 - Moments of brilliance from him.
Molinaro - 5 - Nothing special, nothing great.
Grygera - 5 - Nothing special, nothing great.
Legro - 4.5 - Stop with the long balls you clown.
Sali - 0.1 - He is a body on the pitch, nothing more.
Nedved - 7 - Moment of brilliance from him with the goal.
Tiago - 7 - Passes were good. He contributed well. He got took off. Fuck Ranieri.
Nocerino - 0.01 - I don't think he is consistent enough for us.
Palladino - 6 - Why he was taken off I am not sure. Take off Nocerino for Camo, put Palla up front, we have 4-3-3.
Del Piero - 6 - Good touches. Tiago and Nedved supplied him until the former was taken off.
Trezeguet - 5.5 - Unlucky not to score. Good save by their keeper.
Sissoko - 7 - Good player. Stick it to the man Ranieri.
Camo - 6.5 - Just come back from injury so I didn't expect much, but he seemed to have more heart than most out there.
Ranieri - 0.001 - I don't like you, I hate you. You take off the player who you clearly have something against. Enough was enough a month ago, now its just too much retardedness. 4-4-2 hasn't worked. Yes we have injuries, so it is making life difficult, but instead of sticking to the same strategy we need a change. You don't change. We have a clown defense and you refuse to change it around to a formation which encourages attacking. Where is the tool Lampard now? Defend him now then.
Tiago can play great, we saw it today. Ranieri is just a wanker about it.
MOURINHO IN!
