I couldn't say that I'm really surprised by the result to be honest, as we have key players missing, or maybe most of our players are already in Christmas mood. This Lazio side is so much weaker compared to the Lazio side of the Nesta era, so by right we should have no problem. However the performance is completely opposite of that, we got pressed instead, and we r playing a fast game that is controlled by them, something which we r not even used to. Lazio really do better with the presence of Di Canio.
Lazio’s goal came after a poor attempt by Thuram. A defender should juz whack the ball away, not trying to dribble past everybody, and in the end, he lost the ball for Rocchi to score. The team has to concede a goal to get back to their normal ways. The passing is horrendous, we look like an average team under Lazio.
Not much improvement done on the 2nd half, and seeing Lazio slowed down, Capello didn't make any substitutions until in the 80th minute, where DP and Zala can't make any impact on the game. We could have won, we could have saved the game, but for some reason, we seemed lethargic. I wouldn't take this draw so seriously, hope that this is a wakeup call.
Abbiati The goalkeeper is back to his job to produce saves. Has more to do becos of a defence that didn't perform 6
Zambrotta Another day, another job done 6
Thuram Made an awful mistake, even Kovac would have done much more better. After all he knows what to do when Lucio often makes this move 5
Cannavaro Solid defending, and have to do more defending for the mistakes Chiellini make 6.5
Chiellini This fella is acting like a clown, giving away so many balls and his passes were awful. Totally living in his shadow. If this goes on, I would have let Balzaretti play, at least the latter doesn't complain 5
Camoranesi Quiet game but is slowly learning how to link up well with Zambro. The only consolations r that he had a good free kick and he learnt how to play with Zambro at the back6
Vieira Slowly getting there, but not a good performance, I'm patiently waiting for his full recovery 5.5
Blasi Hard battler and runs a lot, but he still plays like a headless chicken suffering from the H5N1 disease 5.5
Nedved Didn't do much except setting up the goal, in this game he should be a combative midfield player. 5.5
Ibrahimovic Gave the ball again, definitely not his day, or should I say, everybody in the team is not his day 5.5
Trezeguet Did his job as usual. Congrats to u, at least u can catch up with Toni 6
Strict ratings I have to say, becos everybody didn't perform well, with Capello included. But I'm patient to see how we perform in the Siena game.
