TBH, that is not true, I give every player criticism when criticism is due, be it Del Piero, Zlatan, Trezeguet, Camoranesi or Buffon.
But fact is that Trezeguet and Del Piero, for example, have very different roles. While it is Trez's job to wait around for the ball, without creating anything himself, it is Alex' job to create something, and more often than not, he fails miserably.
If we draw Del Piero can be blamed for missing an opportunity or two for example, but if we lose we have to blame the defence as well, like tonight. IMO the goal is totally Buffon's fault, he made a mess out of that cross, and IMO there was no need to go after the ball, and if he did he should have done it much better. Also, and I've notice this before, this team has big problems defending set pieces.
