[Serie A] Roma - Juventus (03/04/2011) (8 Viewers)
- Thread starter JCK
- Start date
Totally unexpected and to be honest delightfully surprising. We looked out of it and Roma were just slightly better and that's where Storari stood up and shut them out brilliantly. Our midfielders were quiet, our central defenders were good, our wing backs were average but Grosso was sublime going forward. Pepe was horrible. Matri was good and Krasic was everywhere but he wasn't sharp and he was far from his best.

Storari - 8 - MOM. added more highlights to his CV tonight.
Bonucci - 5.5 - poor positioning, nearly cost us a goal in the first half (if not for Storari). other than that, didn't have to deal with much from an impotent Roma. still not convinced by this guy as some future star, either. can't handle 1-v-1s for his life.
Barzagli - 5.5 - nothing special, as I can't remember him being involved with anything for good or bad.
Grosso - 7 - a bit suspect defending, but provided our assists. looked very confident going forward. shame about the poor pass after that long run in the second half.
Marchisio - 5 - divided himself by 0 somehow.
Felipe Melo - 5.5 - quiet game, did alright defensively
Aquilani - 5 - it seems to me that after earning his recall to the NT this guy just doesn't give a damn anymore. lazy, slack passing, no longer sharp on the ball, hardly the brain of the midfield that he ought to be. maybe his heart is set on going back to Liverpool for whatever reason. still, we know the talent is there (somewhere), but our immobile tactics/team just aren't doing him any favours.
Pepe - 4.5 - only made himself noticeable when he was scuffing chances, losing the ball, or just being a fuck up.
Krasic - 6 - seemed a bit all over the place in the first half, running around a lot with little purpose. like Aquilani, though, he gets little support on movements he tries to initiate, so he ends up turning over possession if he can't beat his man (which he didn't do very well today). still, a clinical finish, along with the previous goal of his, shows he's been working on his shooting which was his main shortcoming in the first half of the season. not much for the crosses today, although he made a fairly nice run and pass into the box that wasn't converted.
Matri - 6 - I don't think he won a single aerial battle today vs. Juan. reminded me a little bit of Amauri in that he was just hanging around the same small area waiting for others. good job beating the offside and a rather cool, if not lucky, finish for the goal.
Grygera - n/a
Salihamidzic - n/a
Sorensen - n/a
Del Neri - 0 - fucking lucky.
