Interesting game, good result.
Not only does Napoli's style not suit us, they're a damn good team as well. When they're up for it at least. Despite our decent start to the game, the first half really was theirs. In all honesty, the game should have been over by half time, which it also was in a way.
But the unexpected happened & we just refused to give up. Twice even. Which, combined with Napoli's obvious tiredness, meant we could have even won the game. Go figure.
Saw a lot of heart out there. Playing like this away to Napoli goes a long way to showing we're no pushovers
Buffon 6 - Difficult game. Can't really blame him for anything.
Lichtsteiner 6,5 - Good, but not always smart. Could have been sent off more than once.
Barzagli 7,5 - Noticed only 1 or 2 small errors. The amount of work he put in was amazing. Impressed by how often/much he covered for his teammates.
Bonucci 5 - Lost count of how many times he messed up.
Chiellini 5,5 - Difficult to criticize him given the heart & effort he put in, but he wasn't good. Clumsy as ever, rushed, insecure, caught sleeping at times, etc
Pirlo 5 - Isn't he supposed to be the brain of the team? Horrendous first half, but substantial improvement in the 2nd.
Vidal 7 - Tremendous amount of work. Amazing assist as well. Probably should have imposed himself a bit more at times though.
Pepe 8 - I'm at a loss for words. Whatever he does sure looks retarded most of the time, but there's no denying that it works. Absolutely vital part of this team & flexible in terms of formation as well.
Estigarribia 6 - Apart from some lively moments, including the cool finish, he was underwhelming. Credit for his tracking back, but he's still a question mark for me.
Vucinic 6,5 - Probably our most frustrating player. The ease with which he mixes brilliant moments with annoying ones is a sight to behold.
Matri 7,5 - Class.
Pazienza -
Quagliarella -
Del Piero -

Matri wasn't breathing anymore around min 75. Vucinic wasn't running too unless he had the ball, so it was only normal to make these two subs.
I'm upset that our bench this year is the strongest in Serie A yet we don't show faith in these players.
The players might get injuries or susp anytime soon. If you don't show faith in your subs they wont be able to deliver when they're requested to.
you're finally becoming kinda cool
As for the DP situation, seriously there are people who want to complain after today's game? really??
I want.
Subs should have been done much earlier. Napoli's defenders were dead and we needed fresh legs upfront.
We could have won the game.
Brother, go hit the church.
