Great win. The squad was firing on all cylinders in this one with nary a weak spot, save maybe for some finishing. (They're creating chances galore but missing the finish, if not for Trez, lately -- something that could be worrisome later in the season or if Trez inevitably gets injured.)
And that build-up passing between Camo-Neddy-DP for the first Trez goal? Whoah!
Piacenza was never allowed to get in this one, though.
Buffon: 7.5 - He is as cool as a cucumber back there lately. Wasn't called on much, but when he was he came up big. Only concern was the high number of punch-outs.
Birindelli: 6 - Decent match. Held his ground and didn't get beat much. Good pursuit. Could have offered more up the pitch.
Kovac: 6 - Wasn't involved much in this one. He once completely blew coverage in the second half where Buffon had to save our asses. But then he came right back and covered for a rare mistake of Chiellini in this one.
Boumsong: 7 - Best match for Juve yet. He showed great pursuit, tenacity on the ball, and skill. He's improved immensely over the past month.
Chiellini: 7.5 - If not for a small mistake here and there, he could have been my MOM. He put in his strongest defensive performance yet for Juve in this match. A real destroyer, a preventer of crosses, and always on the spot to make the clearance. Didn't offer much up the pitch, but hey -- another shutout.
Giannichedda: 5.5 - Didn't get involved much before he was replaced.
Zanetti: 7 - Strong match on both ends of the pitch.
Nedved: 7 - Good shots on goal and some sublime passing when we needed it. He's a real workhorse.
Camoranesi: 7.5 - My MOM. If he has any hesitation about playing in Serie B, he certainly didn't show it in this match. Our most dangerous player today.
Del Piero: 6.5 - He's showing he can be a great creator the less time he holds the ball. A couple of fantastic free kicks plus good touch passes. Needs to improve his finishing and to not hold the ball as long at times.
Trezeguet: 7.5 - He's making it look routine. The deadliest finisher out there, and boy do we need it. Another MOM candidate for obvious reasons.
Paro: 5 - He looked out of sorts today. His passes were high and wide. Just didn't make much of any use of his touches.
Boijinov: 5.5 - Blew two open goal shots within minutes of coming on for DP. But did help wreak some offensive havoc.
Marchionni: 6 - Not on the pitch for long. But he did create a few decent chances with his time and touches out there.
