Storari - 7 - Generally quite solid. Couldn't do much about the goal.
Motta - 5 - Left us naked too often on the right flank. Clueless with the ball. Ugh. Not making me say "Grygera who?", which should be trivial for anyone of any talent.
Bonucci - 6.5 - Solid without Chiellini.
Legrottaglie 6.5 - Effective in Chiellini's place, despite some slop.
De Ceglie - 7 - Fantastic cross for the first goal. Was very effective and very unfortunate to have to leave early.
Martinez - 6 - What he lacked in offensive qualifies he made up for in determination and decent defensive play.
Felipe Melo - 7.5 - MoM. Beastly. Ferocious. This is what we thought we bought a season ago. Bonus: his celebrations are fantastic. F*$ you, sports announcers. And the celebration for the non-goal against us was sublime.
Aquilani - 6.5 - Solid. So great to see him playing with consistency when we need it. Stay healthy, bro.
Marchisio - 6.5 - Utility player filled the holes. Even to wearing the armband when DP came off. :strong:
Del Piero - 6.5 - A bit of a hog with the ball when he should have been passing off. Slow on some plays. But finished with the gamewinner when we needed it.
Quagliarella - 7.5 - Great header. Showing himself to be more than just a guy with a highlight reel deep shot.
Subs:
Pepe - 6 - Ironically effective in defense.
Sissoko - 6 - This could have been a 4 if he gave up a PK at the end. His bumbling with an open goal was beyond comical, saved only by recognizing someone else with finishing talents was nearby. But his aggression to push the ball forward lead to the goal.
Amauri - N/A - Held the ball up. Not much else.
Delneri - 6.5 - The team played with heart, and he did well to get them to play their part. Even with some major absences. This will be one of the more notable wins of the Delneri era.
Milan - 5 - Ibra showed up as the 2nd Juve season version of Ibra (wasteful), Robinho was a ghost with a salary, the tackling was cynical, the finishing inept. Boateng is Milan's Sissoko.
What a grande result !! :flag1:
Makes this victory that much sweeter.
I was away this year, so I want to write this here..
