Really nothing much to say here. Same old problems in the middle of the pitch, same old problems at the back, and when Del Piero isn't having a good match, we suffer. Alex did not get much service tonight and was being marked heavily, so Torino really eliminated him from the match apart from the fouls and subsequent freekicks. They did all they needed to do to shut him down. We had a couple good chances in the first half but Iaquinta couldn't finish them off... hence why we miss Trezeguet.
Torino matched us going forward and defensively tonight, but when Rosina came on they posed us more problems. If he would have started it would have been much worse at the back for us tonight. Just as usual, that idiot Ranieri didn't have enough balls to use the bench players in spite of the fact Nedved was tired and frustrated and Sissoko was adding nothing going forward. He's afraid of using Tiago and his only solution to our problems is bringing on the useless "new Pirlo/Gattuso" Nocerino who stinks up the pitch to high heaven. Send him down to Primavera, please. No sense in going on because it's a broken fucking record with this team and Ranieri. All I have to say to the people who will defend Ranieri after this match, the next one we fail to gain points and the one after that is... fuck you.
Buffon - 6.5 - Made a few good saves tonight.
Zebina - 5.5 - had to deal with a hapless Dingo in front of him like usual, but this time he was uninspiring.
Legrottaglie - 5.5 - Somewhat shaky at the back but made a couple good interventions.
Chiellini - 7.5 - MOM - Saved our asses several times with his last minute tackles. By far the best player for us tonight.
Blah - 5 - Still doesn't know how to pass, but tonight he seemingly forgot how to close down opponents... almost led to a goal off a glancing header in first half stoppage.
Dingo - 5 - Nothing special apart from one good dribble and the finish, which was offside. Still not sure what people see in him.
Sissoko - 5.5 - Okay defensively but horrendous passes. Too many fouls as well that lead to dangerous freekick opportunities to Granata. Can't keep doing that shit.
Nedved - 5.5 - Ran around for nothing again, clearly off form, and I could see his red card coming in stoppage time after he went in studs up on some Toro player.
Camoranesi - 6 - At least he was making a few good passes and had some ideas.
Iaquinta - 5 - Had opportunities to score but couldn't put them away/couldn't reach the ball. We needed to score in those opportunities.
Del Piero - 6 - Almost saved our asses again with another stunning freekick, but it was saved by Sereni.
Nocerino - 3 - Adds nothing, doesn't deserve to be fielded time and time again over Tiago, stop fucking saying it's a risk to play Tiago because right now Antonio is more of a risk with his senseless displays. He could have gotten sent off with that stupid dive and then beef with Pisano.
Ranieri - 4 - Idiotic attempt to field the straight 4-4-2 once again despite not having the right players to do so. Dingo isn't a winger, Camoranesi isn't a center mid in this system, and Nocerino doesn't deserve to play. Same old rubbish and drops points.
