I couldn't agree more. Palladino has blossomed well over the season, but he has a long, long way to go before achieving the historic greatness of the likes of Trez (despite Trez's current form).
And not to take anything away from Palla's performance yesterday, but watching the match later in the evening I couldn't help but notice that it wasn't so much the
goals that were excellent -- it was the
assists.
Balza's cross for the first goal was a real thing of long-distance beauty from the corner -- right on Camo's head. And I was even seeing Zebina make nice runs and even finish a few of them with dangerous crosses that we failed to connect on

shocked2: ... yes, this was the same player against Fiorentina last April I said "
couldn't cross in a game of checkers"). And of course, Del Piero was the assist master out there as a brilliant partner to Palla.
