But he isn't playing better, the difference is that he played in the one game this season so far that we dominated. If he had played in a game that defense came under serious pressure he would have been just as bad if not worse than PDC.
The major difference between De Ceglie and Grygera is that Grygera understands that his priority is defending a fullback position. De CEglie doesnt understand this.
One of the reasons we dominated this game was because we were very tight at the back. The gap between defence and midfield was small. We even seemed capable of stepping up, as a defensive line, to play opponents offside. Whether Sali or Grygera had played there, I am sure the same solidity would have been evident. It makes a massive difference to have 4 defenders, as opposed to 3 plus a de ceglie. Grygera occupying the left back zone meant that there was not a constantly huge space there, undefended, for opponents to attack. This meant that we were also more secure in the middle, as chiellini could stay central, rather than play CB+LB.
Its the reasons for us dominating, you seem to be judging very differently to me, fish. I don't think Udinese are incredibly poor. We have better players, and our team was simply solid on the day. Krasic and Pepe both did more to support the fullbacks than the fullbacks did to support them, but that is the way I thought that Del Neri played at Samp...with wingers close to the fullbacks, deep, ready to spring forward, and run back to help defend, constantly. This is why Pepe is a good signing, he has the eagerness and stamina. Krasic has eagerness, stamina and potentially world class talent.
Stronger central midfield today. Melo and Marchisio is taking shape nicely.
we played with a left back, when usually we dont.
Wingers added extra defensive line to cut off flank attacks.
Those are the reasons why i thought we dominated.
and grygera was involved, defensively, and did fine.
