Saw the game. This is what i thought:
1) Contrary to what most are saying, I thought we played an outstanding game, even in the first half---especially compared to recent games. The tempo was high throughout, we pushed forward aggressively, used the flanks, tested their keeper. What more can you ask for? The only thing missing was the goal, which fortunately came in the second half through Kaka.
2) Excuse the pun, but the Bonera sending off was extremely bone headed. He was on a yellow card, everyone knew the reputation of this referee as being card happy (ask David Beckham), it was just stupid. On the flip side, when Cafu came on, we realized what we were missing. He added a different dimension down the right flank. Which makes me realize that til today, we dont have a quality replacement for him down the flank. Bonera is NOT a right back and doesn look like he will ever be. We need a pacy, young right back and FAST!!!
3) Janku had an awesome game. Great crosses into the box, great running. He is starting to look more and more like the Janku of Udinese.
4) Oliveira has been disappointing. I dont care what anyone says, he was brought in to replace Sheva, and he's not doing the job. He disappears out of games, does not drop back for the ball, doesnt seem to be doing much with it and looks pretty sleepy to be honest!! We need a top quality striker. How many times have I said it.
5) So, all in all, good game, great result. Hopefully, we continue to play like this. Hope Inzaghi does not get injured, hope RO starts playing football, and Gila starts scoring.
