    Today's the day fellas.

    If the boys keep their heads on straight I think we can bring a win back to Florence, but Grasshopper should definitely not be underestimated.

    Beautiful through cross to Cuadrado who ran a long ways and rocketed a shot into the far corner!

    Half-time
    Grasshopper 0-1 Fiorentina

    We started off a bit shaky but after the first goal the team just clicked and we had some fantastic attacking plays made.

    -Gomez is hungry for a goal. He had a few shots but they didn't test the GK. He seemed to be getting frustrated because they weren't on target.
    -Aquilani almost equalized with a volley crossed in by Gomez but the GK made a fantastic save.
    -Neto has been good in net when called upon, but he hasn't had too much to do.
    -Our defense has been acceptable with some mistakes due to holding onto the ball too long in the final 3rd.

    This is what I observed when I was actually watching the game, I'm also at work.

    Overall we've done well the first half and I'm personally satisfied. Bring on the second half!

    An unexpected equalizer from Grasshopper. 1-2.

    Neto could have done better but it wasn't easy to save nonetheless.

    Rossi off, Ljajic on.

    Edit: Ljajic has been an impact so far. Involved in both attacking plays since he's come on and looking dangerous.

    If by we they mean Aquilani then yes. He's been making random passes....to the OTHER team and just stands around while our midfield tries to put an attack together. He should've came off instead of Valero.
