Some Minor Thoughts

By: Steven | October 30th, 2008

Most of you have already been discussing the Lecce-game in the previous topic, and I don’t see any reason to post an extended review of the game. Not only because of the excellent summary my fantastic readers made, but also because i was half asleep when watching the game and I’m a little annoyed with what happened.

So, instead, let’s talk about some random randomness. That is, after I give you my view on the pagelle:

FONTANA 7
Couldn’t do nothing about Cacia’s goal. I was going to give him a 6.5, but his age askes for an extra .5

CASSANI 6
Wasn’t all that good in the first 45 minutes, but showed his skills after the break.

CARROZZIERI 6.5
Was dearly missed the last game. Seems like the perfect role model for Kjaer, but should get less cards.

KJAER 5.5
Did a good job, but showed some junior errors. Didn’t go free on the Cacia-goal, but shows a lot of potential if he can just believe in himself.

BALZARETTI 6
Another good game by Balza. Assisted on the Cavani-goal. Nothing to complain.

MIGLIACCIO 5.5
Hasn’t returned to last year’s form yet, but is on the right way.

GUANA 4
Dude, really…this was so uncalled for. Nobody wants you, and then you come on the pitch and give away that goal. Take your crap elsewhere, you lousy piece of trash.

BRESCIANO 5
Mediocre. Still lacking some fitness.

SIMPLICIO 6
Not as visible as in other games, but he’s still nominated for best player.

LIVERANI 5
Came in at a rough time in the game, but shows no improvement at all.

CAVANI 7
Finally he scored. .5 extra for giving us one point.

MICCOLI 6
Was a little injured, and it showed.

LANZAFAME 5.5
Shows lots of potential, but should really get more minutes. Still, i want to see more of him.

SUCCI s.v.
Get back to Ravenna, you twat.

So, where did this game bring us in the table? We remain 11th. We’re now 7 points off the top, but we’re still not far away from EC-football. That is, if we can manage to beat Toro and Criappo.

In other news…

Some of you may still remember that we were after Keirrisson, a young brazilian. Too bad, because now the Liverpool potbellies have also declared interest. Moving along to the next target!

Oh yeah, Marco Amelia does NOT want to leave. Whatever is true, Marco should grow some balls and skip the butter.

And last but not least, Channel 4 pointed out something pretty sad:

The team that is top of Serie A after eight rounds of the championship has won the League in three of the last four years, the only anomaly being Palermo in 2006-07.

How does that make you feel, huh?
