Great match, well played apart from some defensive errors in the first half. The second half was EXACTLY what I wanted the team to do, which was keep possession and slow the match down a little, thus protecting against a Roma come back while threatening them offensively. For a change, we actually played to our strengths by using the wings to torture Roma, who were by the way incredibly poor defensively, so we were successful at using the flanks to work our way around De Rossi and their fullbacks. And to top it off, we played a direct style in the first 60 minutes where we looked for the outlet passes quickly, attacked with speed and power, which is EXACTLY what we need to do running this straight 4-4-2 system.
Overall, great job by the players today and Ranieri for seemingly inspiring them, although I don't think they need to be inspired when we play Roma. WE ARE JUVENTUS FOR FUCK'S SAKE! FORZA JUVE!
Manninger - Solid as usual. 6.5
Grygera - Weird defending in the first half but nice runs in the second. 6
Legrottaglie - Solid stuff. Impressive again. 6.5
Chiellini - Committed a couple awkward mistakes in the first but was pretty solid throughout. 6.5
Molinaro - Didn't commit many mistakes and made good crosses for a chance. THANK YOU! That's what we ask. 6
Marchionni - Funny player. He doesn't do much for 300 some minutes, but then does a great job to keep him on the team sheet. Good stuff I suppose. 6
Sissoko - His passing is just terrible, it must be said. Too many give aways in midfield for my liking. 5.5
Tiago - This is the Tiago I know. Nothing flashy, just solid passing and getting the job done, getting the ball to the people who should have it. I also think that he was part of the reason why we were direct and quick on the counter-attack, simply by how he knows where to play the ball before he gets it. Good stuff by the much maligned midfielder. 6.5
Nedved - Solid match. 6.5
Amauri - Menacing player that you just have to love. Owned Mr. Butthole a few times on the left. 6.5
Del Piero - Magician. David Copperfield move over. 7.5
Mellberg - Did fine. 6
Iaquinta - Didn't see much of the ball.
De Ceglie - Ran hard.
Team as a whole - 8
