I was at San Siro and saw them win 4-1. We finally played decent football and frankly all the goals were brilliant. My opinions:
Abbiati was good and should be the 1st goalie. Dida was again unsure, didnt save a goal that was a shot on his post and fluffed an exit which didnt result in a goal thanks to Favalli.
Defense was good, except centre backs. Favalli is ok but that is NOT his position and he is not a 1st team player. Bonera still makes too many mistakes. good Zambro and esp Marek J on the wings. Pirlo was superb, pinpointing passes for the wings and contributed to the goals. Gattuso battling it away like usual and when he went out we suffered in the middle of the pitch. Flamini also good but needs to be more incisive in the game but he is growing to the italian style of play. Ambrosini I give a vote of 8. Brillian goals, esp the second one. Seedorf class tho he tend to not be consisten enough and that worries me (but we have options there with Dinho back). Paloschi needs a break. Great future for the kid but surely played too much in recent weeks and as a lone striker it has tired him out. Inzaghi once again hits Juve with a goal, and great pass for the 4th.
We are still missing nesta, Kaladze, Kakà, Dinho and Pato. Galliani also said just before the game that he is still going for a new centre-back plus Ivanovic has put a formal transfer request in to Chelsea.
All together the team has grown, they wanted the win and wanted to please the fans. Fans were awesome and really happy with the performance. Lots of chanting and choruses for players and overall team alike.
And beating Juventus 4-1 like that just rocks. Can't wait for the first game of the season.
Football season is awesome, only topped by Rapture time ;)
