I watched the whole match tonight and there are plenty of positives to take. The team is starting to gel, and should properly start playing a few games into the season. Milan were more organised and always looked like stepping up a gear, but thats the way they play against everyone. Once we gel and become more confident, this tie will be more evenly matched.
Buffon: Did not have much to do, held crosses well, not to blame for goals at close range. Made a HUGE error towards the end that gilardino could really have humiliated him on.
Grygera: Solid today, made good tackels and showed committment, he should be first-choice.
Andrade-Criscito: Both are good on the ball, and are becoming more confident together. They are both great tacklers and can read the game, but they cannot deal with crosses too well yet, Their aerial work needs to improve. Andrade should have scored on DP's cross.
Molinaro: Btter today, good on defense, passing was good. Good cover for Chiellini who is an obvious starter for me. Needs to impose himself more.
Nedved: Looked agitated in the first half and was making mistakes. Was inspired in the second half and i get the impression even when he plays bad, he is dangerous. Teams fear him, his committment is terrific and his passing and shooting are a danger. He is STILL the man
Almiron: Such an exciting prospect. His passing is excellent and his vision is better. Once he tunes in to the team and we gel as a side he will become crucial. Still liable to lose concentration, but should get better and better.
Nocerino: Some erratic fouls but that is largely because he is involved so much. He is our gattuso, he is never out of the action. You know when he is on the field. He needs to gain more consistency is his passing, crossing and shooting. Should become a great asset.
Brazzo: Another fighter, always in the action. Today not his best day. Weak crossing and lost some 50-50's. He is pure energy though and i suspect he will be a good player for us this season.
Tiago: Great improvement. His passing and control were evident today and was unlucky not to score a screamer. Milan could not disposses him and most of his passes connected. I expect him to keep improving.
Del Piero: Was producing some magic touches. He didn' t slow us down, he WAS our threat in attack. They had to keep fouling him and Pavel. At times it looked like he kept choosing the most adventurous option, but entertained and stressed the Milan defence.
Iaquinta: He will hold the ball up for us and should prove to be a really interesting different option for us. He is always looking for the pass and doesn't fade like Trezeguet. Had some bad control today and looked like his confidence was down, hopefully he can gain some throughout the season and improve for us.
Palladino: He has great skill and vision and was making great runs. I think he will be a great player for us one day. His touches were good, he can dribble and i think once he learns how to properly finish chances and become a more direct attacking threat, will become a great star. Ahead of Iaquinta in strikers order just now.
