Afriyie Acquah - 5/1/1990 - Palermo - Came on late in the second half and only gained more experience playing in Serie A, unable to produce anything noteworthy.
Armin Bacinovic - 24/10/1989 - Palermo - Not a match to remember against Udinese, as he was shown his marching orders before the end of the first half. The Bianconeri went on to score their fourth goal from the resulting free-kick.
Cristian Battocchio - 10/2/1992 - Udinese - What a match to make your debut for the Bianconeri, coming off the bench in a 7-0 win.
Federico Casarini - 7/9/1989 - Bologna - Disappointed with his performance against Roma in midweek as he gave the ball away, which ultimately saw Mirko Vucinic seize posession and be involved in Daniele De Rossi's lone goal. Was barely noticeable at the weekend against Juventus.
Fabio Daprela - 19/2/1991 - Brescia - Came on in the final minutes for the Rondinelle against Lecce.
Matteo Darmian - 2/12/1989 - Palermo - A horrible match for the 21-year-old and his team, topped off with a sending off in the 60th minute for bringing down Pablo Armero in the penalty area, seeing the Rosanero play the last half-hour with nine men.
Giulio Donati - 5/2/1990 - Lecce - Was put under severe pressure from the Brescia forwards, especially Alessandro Diamanti, but improved as the match went on, ultimately getting the better of the attacking midfielder.
Abel Hernandez - 8/8/1990 - Palermo - Not noticeable and effective as his Udinese counterparts, Alexis Sanchez and Antonio Di Natale.
Libor Kozak - 30/5/1989 - Lazio - Seemed fatigued in his side's clash with Cagliari, and should have been rested after starring recently for the club. Could not provide the spark up front.
Adem Ljajic - 29/9/1991 - Fiorentina - Practically unnoticeable, as he could not get into the match against Bari. Very quiet, and was replaced on the hour mark.
Federico Macheda - 22/8/1991 - Sampdoria - Played only a few minutes in the match against Inter, but did not have much of an effect.
Dominique Malonga - 8/1/1989 - Cesena - Had a wonderful one-on-one chance to score against Chievo, but Stefano Sorrentino charged him down and blocked his attempt. Didn't have the ability to break open the match.
Ezequiel Munoz - 8/10/1990 - Palermo - Made an appearance after half-time, but the damage on the scoreboard had been done. Made some crucial defensive blocks.
Di Natale and Sanchez from blowing the Rosanero out of the water, making some crucial defensive blocks.
Alberto Paloschi - 4/1/1990 - Genoa - Was introduced during the second half, and even earnt a penalty for the Grifoni, but it wasn't converted by Miguel Veloso.
Javier Pastore - 20/6/1989 - Palermo - Never got into the match, but was on the back foot for the majority of the encounter. His side rarely attacked with real menace, and he couldn't create anything magical.
Alexandre Pato - 2/9/1989 - Milan - One could not ask for more from the super-talented Brazilian. He played his part in securing a penalty for the Rossoneri, set up Kevin-Prince Boateng for the side's second goal and secured all three points with a sublime effort from outside the box.
Andrea Poli - 29/9/1989 - Sampdoria - The 21-year-old is still getting accustomed to his new role, and had a wonderful chance to open the scoring in the first half, but hit the woodwork. Ran hard all night before being replaced.
Gaston Ramirez - 2/12/1990 - Bologna - Didn't take his game to the next level as he has shown in recent weeks, and when he decided to lift, couldn't be contained by the Roma defence.
Jaime Romero - 31/7/1990 - Bari - Tried in vain for the Biancorossi, as he got into good positions, but couldn't finish off his chances.
Ezequiel Schelotto - 23/5/1989 - Catania - The winger came on and lifted the side dramatically, ensuring maximum points were achieved. A real thorn in the Genoa side.
