[Fillipo Simone]

MoM goes to Abbiati for me. He did two extremely good and important saves in the crucial moment of the match. This is why all ended well and more or less comfortable. Honda, Abate and Alex did also very well.

Flop goes between Muntari, SES and MDS to the latter. I'm sorry, but almost all of Verona's chances in the second half came from his side. He was no-existent when it came to forward help and runs, no real contact with SES either and on top of it no defensive stability. Very poor showing. SES was a letdown again, while Muntari...it's just Muntari, no need to repeat the obvious.

I didn't notice nay improvements in DS. His overall impact is becoming very insignificant. Right now, as a fullback, he's not offering more than what Bonera would offer in that role.

As for SES, if it wasn't for that splendid assist, I would give him a 5,5. Yes, off the ball he was very helpful, but come on, he's a striker! I only remember a couple of times when he was dangerous. For the majority of the game he wasn't incisive at all.

I think you have to look at the players on his side for that as well, he has Muntari and DS who as I said to Filippo was defensively sound but he wasn't really doing any runs.

That is problematic for a winger imo because he'll get isolated when he does manage to get the ball as he doesn't really have anyone to play off of. Compare this to what Honda, Abate and Poli were doing on the other side and you'll get what I'm trying to say.

SES imo was good, he needs to score so some of the obvious tension he's carrying around can ease off him but other than that I think he put in an overall good performance.

As for DS, he wasn't even looking all that comfortable defensively in the last few weeks, yesterday he seemed much more in control and was more secure in his positioning and interceptions. Which is why I said he's improved over what have been a bad couple of games now for us this season
