Great turnaround, was pretty sure he would never recover for us and would be sold to the Turkish league in the summer.

Hope he keeps it up, breath of fresh air.

Hakan: I want to say that in my career I’d never played in a 3-5-2 formation and having never done it, I found it difficult. It’s not my way of playing.

why did mirabelli get him ??

It was never a certainty that we'd attempt 3-5-2 thanks to Bonucci.

I actually think the whole 3-5-2 idea popped up after fans (including most of this forum) started saying the players suited 3-5-2 perfectly and the manager would be stupid not to change formation from 4-3-3. Montella and F&M fell into the trap of listening too closely to the fans.

I thought Montella wanted to emulate his 3-man defence from fiorentina.

Montella said early on that it's too soon to do 3-5-2 and that he'd stick with 4-3-3 for now. But after the Lazio loss, there was a clear change in everyone's stance. Then they started bringing up excuses saying they were waiting for Romagnoli's fitness to have a left sided CB and so on.

My reading is that the management freaked out after the Lazio loss and thought they were missing out on something obvious that all fans were asking for anyway.

Maan, how sweet would it have been if he would've hit the goal with that shot. When I saw it, I was certain he'd score.

when I saw the rebound fall to our player I jumped up to celebrate.
later when I saw nobody was celebrating I thought "shit where is the ball?"

He is moving better and better, looks lighter. Also makes less mistakes in passing. But the shot is still not there at all. Dont know why is that.

However its looking much better. Forza!

unlucky not to get a goal :(

p.s. I don't get why he's not the penalty taker... it's much better to have one who's got a powerful shot

Superlative performance! One of the best in the league when he's at this level.

Could have made better decisions a couple of times when he had the chance to put others in better scoring opportunities. Great work rate though.

Got slapped by Rino after the whistle, and that means he loves him.

That pass with his left foot to suso before the goal

Mvp performance..
Him not getting a goal frustrated him though and the shooting became a little too much

He is becoming a "give him the ball and wait for something" player :D

Great game, although i would like him to become more effective, especially with his shots

I think he needs to precision more than power

Whats wrong with a little R2 curved shot?
