this was to be expected as one of the toughest games and it was.Away to a full renato d'llara, facing a very good team. I was impressed that the bologna team was mostly made up of the players that were them in serie A two years ago.
back to juve, we r not playing at our best atm.Neddy's place is sorely missed and palladino can't possibly fill that void.Thats one of the reasons the midfield looked terrible. Also there were some patches of the game where the midfielders didnt even drop down to pick up the ball from the defenders to distribute.
the defense was a joke and was broken down from the middle at least 6 times and most of those resulted in one-on-one situations with gigi.
Gigi-MOM without a doubt, in the first half was saving balls left and right and continued to bail us out in the 2nd.Also he was supposed to go the award ceremony to get some award for the WC if am not mistaken, but he stayed to play the game
, Grazie gigi.
Balza-We need some steady performances from Fedrico especially in defense so we can rely on him for the future.Hes doing well going forward but he leaves to much space behind him.
cheillini-he great in the one-on-one situations, very tough tackler and man marker.But he positioning is just plain bad.He going forward to press on the opponent and forgets about his place in the back.Hes doing well but needs to improve.
Boumsong-When i excuse cheillini for the positioning mistakes,i can't excuse him. He really needs to improve that part of his game. The defense was like a big hole for the Bolognese attackers.
Zebina-he did well covering in the back but he isn't useful doing anything else.But thats good enough for now,at least hes covering his tracks.
Zanetti-His work-rate is great but some of his passes weren't accurate.But overall he did well and wasn't lucky not to score from that header.
Paro-Solid game by matteo, and he even got forward a few times.I wanted to see more of that but i guess it was instructions for him to stay back more.We also need him to call for the ball more especially from the defenders, as we reverted for the long ball alot in this game.
camo-hope his injury isnt serious, he worked hard in the time he was on.Wanted to widen his play a bit as we were very narrow.But overall he was ok
palladino-I like him more as a forward,he is more effective imo.But his crosses were good on that left flank,but he needs to link up with the forwards more and try to cut inside more.
Alex-wasn't the best of games by the captain.He still shows u some skill but other than that he just wasted the freekicks and miss kicked a volley in the first half that should've been a goal.
Zalayeta-Probably his best game for a while now,even though he used his hand to score but he did well overall in the game and provided a good target for the team.Although he didn't link up as much with Alex but he even got shot from distance.
Biridenlli-I didnt understand this sub, but he did fairly well imo.Provided some needed width but he played a full back not a winger as he didn't link up at all with the other midfielders.
marchisio-didnt have much impact on the game.
Treze-got in offside positions a couple of times after he came in.He got a good run and tried to get into scoring positions, which is promising.I wanted him to score, as we need his scoring touch badly.
DD-I didnt understand the Birindelli sub as he had guzman on the bench, who is a naturall winger who could provide a better option imo.Also i dont think the chiellini boumsong partnership is the best option.If kovac is fit we need him to start.
Anyway there is something wrong in the team and he needs to find a solution.
