FCS grades: Who convinced, who disappointed?

Poluzzi 5,5 3 shots on goal, all 3 went in. It would be wrong to blame Poluzzi. But the fact is that the FCS goalkeeper hardly ever saves a ball. He is the only Serie B goalkeeper who has never kept a clean sheet.

Kofler 6 The lightning-fast Di Mariano against a 19-year-old defensive line. An unequal duel? Not at all. Kofler always had the Palermo wing under control. Right in the middle of the second goal, but there was little he could do.

Ceppitelli 5,5 The veteran was the weakest of the three-man chain - also because he unintentionally set up the third goal. Ceppitelli doesn't play badly, but he is involved in many of the goals conceded. He lacks the security that Scaglia exuded in this position in the spring.

Giorgini 6 The 22-year-old is an elegant, very strong central defender and has also become adept at one-on-one combat. He has mostly won against last year's Ligue 1 regular Le Douaron. Giorgini was not involved in the goals conceded.

Raphael Kofler once again showed a good performance.

Molina 5,5 Unremarkable performance on the right wing. Helped a lot defensively, but was hardly seen in the attacking game. Yesterday he lacked the power to break through.

Arrigoni 6,5 Along with Kurtic and Casiraghi, he is the best man on the pitch. He doesn't have the elegance of the Slovenian or the filigree of Casiraghi, but he is irreplaceable. The number six runs through his program week after week, without mistakes and with high quality. The clockwork of the white and reds.

Kurtic 6,5 One of the best in the white and red jersey against his former club (2011 - 2013). Extremely strong on the ball and with many intercepted passes. Also one of the best number sixes in the league at 35.

Rover 5,5 Played on the left wing and was not able to make much of an impact offensively. Palermo right-back Diakitè had the lightning-fast Rover well under control. He was too late to stop Insigne, the goalscorer, for the third goal. A scene that fit his overall performance.

Matteo Rover tried hard but was unlucky.

Tait 5:XNUMX His anniversary game (with 369 appearances he is now the FCS record player) gave him no reason to celebrate. Before the 0:1, he lost the header against goal scorer Baniya. Otherwise he tried hard, but without much effect. His best action came after a few minutes.

Casiraghi 7 His wonderful free kick goal didn't seem unstoppable, but it could have been the opening goal for FCS. Instead, it is nothing more than a nice side note today.

Odogwu 5,5 He has been alone in the FCS attack for weeks. The Italian-Nigerian works hard (he won the free kick in front of the FCS goal, among other things), but is completely harmless. Odogwu has everything he needs to be a difference maker.

Merkai 5 He was barely on the pitch when he was involved in the second goal. Ranocchia's free kick flew into exactly the zone that Merkaj was assigned to in FCS's zone coverage - but the Albanian was unable to get into the header. From then on he was overwhelmed as a solo striker.

Praszelik 5 Remained under the radar. Far too little for a substitute who should actually be fighting for the starting eleven.

El Kaouakibi 5,5 Home comeback in the league. Had a tough time on the wing.

Crespi without a grade A few minutes and a shot on goal for the statistics.

Tzedadka without a note Made his league home debut for FCS and showed that he is a fine footballer.

Valentine 5,5 Four defeats in the last five games put the FCS coach under pressure. The defensive problems must be solved as soon as possible. Yesterday his team conceded two identical set-piece goals. The zonal coverage is clearly not working. More needs to be done offensively too. Odogwu is a lost cause as a solo striker. The rest was also OK against Palermo. But that is not enough. Points are needed.
