Serie A Matchday 17: Bottom 5 performances of the weekend
Here is a list of our top 5 flops of Matchday 17 (Via Whoscored) :
Honorable mention:
Josip Ilicic: Lazio vs Fiorentina : Whoscored rating : 5.5
Ilicic did not have a great game and he failed to convert a PK which would've allowed Fiorentina to get back into the game.
5- Joao Pedro : Empoli vs Cagliari : Whoscored rating: 5.5
Pedro came on as a substitute for Cagliari but failed to convert a penalty kick as Empoli eventually beat Cagliari.
4- Valerio Verre : Pescara vs Bologna : Whoscored rating: 5.1
It wasn't a good game for Verre as a picked up a red card and put his team down a man. Pescara eventually lost the game versus Bologna as they are having a difficult time to get points.
3- Christian Puggioni : Chievo vs Sampdoria : Whoscored rating : 5.0
Puggioni was playing instead of usual Sampdoria starter Viviano as he had a game to forget. He committed a big blunder as Meggiorini scored for Chievo, who then won the game.
2- Pepe Reina : Napoli vs Torino : Whoscored rating: 5.0
It was a funny game for Napoli as their offensive players performed at a high level but many defensive starters committed mistakes. Pepe Reina lost the ball which allowed Torino to score their second goal of the game.
1- Mattia Perin : Genoa vs Palermo : Whoscored rating: 4.1 :
Perin had a bad night as he conceded 4 goals against Palermo and was sent off too towards the end of the game. He is our flop of the week.
