[Fillipo Simone]

Even though Pazzini scored 2 goals, MOM is Abate to me. He was simply amazing with his runs and effort, but also provided the assist and made tons of real good crosses. Second to that comes Constant. If only his technique wouldn't let so much to be desired...he'd be our true next Serginho.

Flop of the match goes to Mexes. Yet another horrible howler. And prior to that he made another error as well.

Montolivo is starting to get on my nerves. We need more concrete material out of him. We need him to make the decisive passes or shot. But unfortunately, his technique also isn't on the necessary level. His shots are mostly poorly chosen and inefficient, while during the last minutes he almost coasted us another goal.

Should go, no question.

MOM is Pazzini for me, although what Filippo said in regards to Abate reiterates what I said in the match thread, that for the overall performance when judging on contribution over 90 minutes, Abate would take it for me with Constant coming in a close second.

Having said that, Pazzini was the match winner, his second goal above anything else was top class and worthy of that vote. I would like to see Matri do something like that kurt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) . Even though I have always said Pazzini is a very average player and would be within the same bracket as Matri he still has that one or 2 quality moments in him that Matri simply does not.

Flop, had to give it to Traore. Yes, Mexes made a very stupid mistake. But all in all, him and Zapata are forming a very good pairing at the back. Aside from that moment of stupidity, it should have been another clean sheet for them as a pairing. And I like how they handled the defensive work in general, very simply, won the ball back quickly and played it off smartly. Hope the OG does not suddenly become a deciding factor in Allegri's mind to play Bonera instead... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Back to why I gave it to Traore, it's s because it's just so painful watching a player of this calibre in our shirt. SO clumsy on the ball, TERRIBLE decision making at one point on the counter. Abate running clean through ahead of hm all he had to do was make the simple pass forward, instead he goes for the cross to no one.
