Not only that but bringing on a guy notoriously made of glass anyway. I agree on Nocerino, the guy didn't see enough of the tournament. Same for Giovinco which could have been another option.
yeh, besides the first goal, the injuries played a huge part in why they didn't do well in this game. Chiellini went out early and who knows what would have happened if he had stayed in. And not even to mention what went on after Motta's injury. So horrible to have to play with ten men through...
Yeh, I think Pirlo had a better year this year than Xavi, but entire career? Can't say that. Like I said it's hard to compare. Xavi is the best fit for Barca's style of play and Pirlo for Juve, I can't imagine them switching places.
yeh, years ago I thought it was boring, now I watch it all the time. Wish more people would see that though, seems like the "boring" stereotype still puts off a lot of people from watching it.
That's what I mean though, there are a lot of people who think if you don't play in the EPL, or for Barca or Madrid, you're not good or not even noticed at all in some cases. Yes it's ignorance but it's there.
I'd be torn between agreeing with you, and acting like a mod and merging them. :D
But yeah he's been consistently class this entire tournament. Kinda sad that it's not until now at age 33 that he is getting worldwide recognition though.
Me neither lol, I mean his second half of the season could have been better but if you were to read the forum without watching any Barca games you'd think he was a terrible player. But then again seems like there always needs to be a scapegoat for our problems. After Villa broke his leg it...
Saying 4 for now, I don't get the people that hate him and I think he's doing better than some give him credit for. But I won't say 5 until he's played a few games for us.
