After a sluggish start, and a fairly quick Triestina goal, our boys put it together, and thrashed a brave Triestina team.
I have to say that even though we managed to secure the game in the first half, once we settled down and played our game in the second half, we looked even better. The passes in the second half came together, the control, everything was there (except a DP goal)
Buffon- gave up a bad rebound early for the goal, but was on his game for the rest of the night
Zebina- his man darted by him to score on the rebound, otherwise he was ok
Boumsong- no glaring mistakes, but is anyone else holding their breath when we are attacked on his side of the field ?? He wont be a starter for us in Serie A, thats for sure
Chellini- he was good...the less I say about a defender, usually the better they were !!
Balza- defensive sound, when attacking he mixes some bad crosses with some absolutely perfect ones...needs more consistency
Camo- he made up for a few mediocre nights...his passing was on, and his dribbling was good
Zanetti- he was handling his midfield duties ok until he was injured, and replaced in the second half
Marchisio- TBH, I didnt really notice too much, be it good or bad. We were playing good football in the second half, and he was part of it
Paro- a mixed bag, but a nice assist on one of Palla's goals
Neddy- never stops running !! He made his way into the center, and was most effective there. Had some nice one two passes with DP
DP- passed the ball around well today, set up Palla for a goal, and was very active....missing only a goal
Palla- MOM !! His first Juventus hat-trick will dominate the press tomorrow, and he deserves it !! His hard work paid off. I dont think he's ready to replace Trez, but its a good start
Boji- he had a nice headed goal from a Neddy cross....he should be given more chances to shine !!
DD- made the right substitutions today, had his men focused for the entire 90 minutes, and made the most out of a team that wasnt afraid to attack us. We cant win every game 5-1, but we can certainly show the class that we had (especially in the second half) more frequently...and I think we have a game coming up with a certain Napoli team that is ready to be crushed !!
