Did well tonight.

Didn't have many crosses to deal with, which helps. But maybe he does well in these sort of games because it is like his Monza days where he's use to defending all game. Maybe he lacks the concentration to be a GK for a team that doesn't face as many shots and performs better when he has to focus for 90 mins.

There are many great shot stoppers or elite reflexes GK’s even in relegation teams and lower divisions, but what makes the difference between a world class GK and a mediocre one is made up of many factors and variables, from how they command their area all the way to their consistency levels, handling and positioning, heck even the mythical good with his feet is something that can change perceptions about certain weaknesses of a GK if he is part of a team that deploys the style of play that fits him best…

Anyway, probably the most important trait in a top level well rounded GK is his consistency, which brings me to DiGregorio, whom in my view is very good at certain things that did get him deservedly this far in his career, but the worst part is that he goes in this cycles of inconsistency even on what he usually excels at, and you mix that together with all of his other weaknesses and you realize that he is already 28yo and only has about two consistently good seasons throughout his career and a move to Juve should have been the opportunity for him to make a leap in quality and consistency but over a year has gone by and seems that either he can’t handle the pressure or is just not good enough ultimately, this despite him being a great shot stopper and overall competent GK for prolonged runs of games.
I've said this before in one of the live matches threads, any Italian player we have should be the best in class not third rate ones who don't even make it to the Azzuri.. our gk should be Gigio, not gregorio, our CB should be someone like Bastoni not the dimwit Gatti, our cm should be Tonali not our supposed captain. Hell I argue that Retegui may not be a bad option as our striker, that goal he recently scored was sublime. Honestly our recruitment is pathetic. I know i went on a tangent but I am so pissed at Jj these days...
I’m sick and tired of you arm chair generals judging him on saves. He was not signed to save shots. Stop repeating your nonsense please and thank you

It’s still somewhat early into the season so no need to be too harsh on DiGregorio’s deceiving stats as there’s still plenty of time for him to make up for lost ground.

By season’s end we’ll surely see his name among our top 15 players in terms of goal contributions in all comps.
