I'm quite satisfied. A win away to Parma is always a good result, for every team.
Sure, it was not a brilliant game, but at least we saw the will to win, even some passion. Some positive signs, but there is still a long way to go.
For what it's worth some thoughts about the individual players:
Manninger 6 - Mostly quiet evening but there when called upon.
Caceres 4,5 - Not a good game. Quite a few difficulties at the back & his attacking work was lacklustre. The incredibly foolish (considering he had already been booked) finished his game.
Legrottaglie 5,5 - Overall he did pretty damn good: some nice interceptions, decent positioning. Shame he got schooled by Amoruso for the goal.
Chiellini 6,5 - Good game. Our most consistent player imo.
Grosso 5,5 - Coupled the good with the bad.
Salihamidzic 6 - Decent, but he was a bit rash at times, resulting in quite a few small mistakes. Brilliant, Trez- like positioning on the goal.
Melo 5 - Some improvement over his last games, but still a terrible decision maker at times.
Poulsen 5,5 - Important to have him out there today, but there were moments where he completely lacked any sense of awareness, which lead to bad decision making.
Marchisio 6 - We're obviously not going to get the best out of him on this position, but I feel he coped well enough.
Diego 6,5 - Not brilliant & too many mistakes in his game for my liking. But still, he was involved in pretty much everything we tried (which admittedly wasn't much) & he was definitely our most influential player.
Trezeguet 5,5 - Injured too early. Looked lively
Amauri 5 - The break has not affected his form, sadly. Can't fault his workrate, but everything looks so difficult for him at the moment.
