Alright. Decent win, expected us to win by seeing the first half gameplay. We played very organised but lacked much up front. Second half was so much better, much more aggresivity, more power play, we won more duels, recuperated the ball lots more AND created more chances. The sub of Icardi was the moment the game totally changed. Icardi brought more danger upon the game and gave Palacio/Guarin/Alvarez more space to run with the ball.
Great defense. Solid attack. We need to be more effective though. And seriously need to practice more on crosses. Only Campa's ones were decent. And of course Johhnyboy's assist.
Handanovic : Well did his work. Although he didn't had to do much, he did save the ball. Good.
Campagnaro :Boss debut. Everywhere in the pitch, great addition and helps out on every aspect in defense. Also good crosses
Ranocchia : Decent, won his duels, hadn't much work against Gila, nevertheless promising along Campagnaro
Juan : Boss. Intercepted, didn't randomly fired the ball front except once. Almost no brainfarts. Promising as well.
Jonathan ::datass: Great game by Jonathan. Really fired on his right flank. Worked his ass off, great game! Keep it up!
Guarin :First half bad, second half great. He seems more mature as Box-To-Box. Excellent choice by Mazzarri to keep him on the pitch, and most of all, to tell him to stop shooting everytime and look more for the pass instead. Guaro played mature and had a great assist. Good game overall
Cambiasso :Bad passes, but some nice interceptions. Clearly over the top now. He'd be good as CB now, not as DM.
Kuzmanovic :Also a bad game, didn't do much actually. There was 1 time he went up front and sadly didn't got the ball, he was in scoring position though. His shot on goal was pathetic.
Nagatomo :Very bad first half, Bad second half, but then he scored and suddenly he was on fire. The goal freed him and made him play somehow decent. Nice first goal of Season 2013-2014. But needs to improve drasticaly
Alvarez : Good work, nice moves, always available, trying to force a lot. Played a great game. Love to see him along Kova/Guaro/Icardi. Good game Ricky!
Palacio :Palagoooooool! Nice goal! On first half he was mostly invisible, standing on an island most times. The Icardi sub made him play more open and so he could have more freedom. Good game, lethal striker
Subs
Icardi : The sub that changed the gameplay. Excellent first performance by Icardi, causing instant danger, his aerial work is impressive. Should have scored though. Very promising. [Needs to work on finishing and running though]
Kovacic :Good sub by Mazzarri, Kova ran, created and well he was kind of bossing the midfield. Should play waaay more up front though. Still Kovaaa!
Taider : Promising tackle after his sub. Can't wait to see more of him
Mazzarri :
Excellent debut after weird line-up though. His subs were
Boss. Also second half was much better then the first half. Hopefully now he has more of an idea who to start and who not. (Hint Hint Kuz *cough* Cuchu *cough*)
Also kuds for his trust in Jonathan and Alvarez. Many of the posters here would have burnt them in hell already.
Promising debut. Especially the defensive line and pressure he put up
