Pisa: Players' ratings after the defeat against Brescia

BARDS 5,5. A simple dive on Tramoni (10'), a good reflex on a cross deflected by Lucchesi at the start of the second half. He can't do anything about the goals. He is whistled at by the Pisans given his Livorno origins. Booked for protests at 3-0 (he was right) then disallowed: he will miss the Brescia match. The card costs him half a vote.

BOOKS 5.5. He holds up well in several body to body encounters and the Tuscans are all at least twice his size: he doesn't sink. He's late on Lind in the goal, with the Dane anticipating him. He closes as a left back and suffers the right Toure.

MERONI 4. In sharp decline in this phase of the season. The totally gratuitous error for the 2-0 by Tramoni summarizes the bad moment. In the second half he also wastes the possible 2-1 (from 34'st Rozzio SV).

LUCCHESI 5. He hasn't been solid in his last outings: we're not talking about obvious blunders, but in the first goal the ball for Moreo passes between him and Marras too easily.

FIAMOZZI 5. Between Angori and Tramoni it could have been a nightmare (the Frenchman, when he got going, still put him in difficulty) but Pisa almost always pushes from the other side. He is rarely seen up front, never crossing.

SERSANTI 5. Far from his standards. In the long run he drops and fades away. And when he doesn't even run on all the balls... (from 21'st Reinhart 5.5: a few balls played in the final, but a quicker direction would be needed).

KABASHI 5. A little better than last time. Dionigi takes him off to switch to an offensive setup (from 1'st Maggio 5: at 27' he can aim and shoot but gets tangled up and wastes everything. There are no other ideas).

PORTANOVA 6.5. Manolo from some time ago: a fury, with good bursts and dangerous ideas like the one for Sersanti's shot. He goes out due to an unfortunate problem with his right arm, and that's where his team's game ends (from 43'pt Ignacchiti 5.5: at 57' Toure gets lost with a cross and then Tramoni misses the doubling).

MARRAS 5,5. A couple of dangerous crosses in the first half. He doesn't press the pass to Moreo who will cross for 1-0, and he drops in the second half, like all his players.

GIRMA 4. He has two good balls in the first half: sky-high. He gets an avoidable yellow and was on a yellow card. In the second half he gets everything wrong. The cover is taken by an interesting free kick kicked directly at… Sersanti. Irritating.

VIDEO 5. Not bad at 26' on a left-footed shot from the center of the area, blocked. For the rest he is seen very little and controls poorly the few playable balls (from 21'st Gondo 5.5: just the ball for Maggio, who will waste it all, then very little with his team that push forward very rarely).
