Damn nice to see that we won this one.. Just came home from work..
anyone with some ratings please?..
i can do the player rating in the 2nd half as i missed the first half so may not be accurate but:
Buffon - 6.75
had very little to do in the second half but when we needed him he was there and he was there in typical buffonesqe style, in the last minute defending a one goal lead he performed a wonder save from a header off a corner and if i remember correctly he saved the rebound and from the resulting corner kick he punched the ball out to create our counter
Chiellini - 6
did well, as i say not much to do really, looked slightly shaky when we tried to catch bologna offside but it worked so he did his job
boum - 5.5
as above, lost the ball a few times when clearing didnt get it out as far as he should have but did not do much wrong.
Balza - 6.5
did well and supported palla/gio well down the flanks, a good performance, hes been great this season
Zebina - 6
did well, brought the ball forward quite well and did well defensively
Marchionni - 5.25
not a good game for him, most of our play went down the left, partly because of his slack passing and poor movement, won the decisive penalty which proved important saved him from getting a 5
Palladino - 7
did very well out of position, his footwork puzzled the bologna defenders and he got some nice passes and crosses in to DP and trez
Zanetti - 6.5
typical gritty performance, weve missed him and did his job very well, his passing and vision is underestimated and he always gave the wingers options if they were stuck
Marchisio - 6.5
looked more natural today, had a good shot from distance but unfortunately went straight to the keeper, he can play his natural game with a player like zanetti next to him
Del piero - 7
scored 2 decisive goals and had to take the penalty twice but managed to keep his cool and went the opposite way, he got into very good positions and he could have had 3-4 goals or set up 2 other goals, can be selfish sometimes
Trezeguet - 6.5
got another goal and did his job, today his off the ball running really tied their defence up in nots and had del piero been less selfish he could have scored more
subs:
giovinco - 6.5
made an impact, his pace is very dangerous and his ball to trez was fantastic, we may have a little gem in our hands
biri - 5.5
did his job, still doesnt convince me but didnt do anything wrong
DD - 8
made GOOD key decisions for a change and today he pleased one of his biggest critics (me), i hope to see more of the same
