No it was clearly Jack's responsibility but if you see the video you wonder who Montolivo was marking because since the first pass to the left Saponara was just alone.

When I say it wasn't his responsibility alone, I mean the goal. There were various factors that made it happen, first the initial defensive positioning and letting the cross, then Bertolacci that fails to block the view of the far corner or put more pressure, then Donnaruma that makes an awkward parry instead of pushing the ball towards the end line.

Quite a few people did a subpar job on that one, all it took is one of them to do a great job and the goal wouldn't have happened.

does anyone know how many of Bonaventura's goals/assists this season came from open play?

4 open play assists
4 open play goals

2 fk goals
2 corner assists (* possibly another one) + 1 fk assist

How I wish we would bench, sell, get rid of our garbage and make 3-4 Bonaventura type signings (to start)!

He's a very athletic and skilled player who gives everything that the team asks of him.

Please remember that he was a last minute transfer that cost only 7 mil and it couldn't have happened without a very compliant Atalanta who worked hard at the deadline to make the deal happen. Thanks Atalanta!

He's obviously a very key player. Almost too much responsibility for one player to be completely honest! I'd love to see him play a role with the national squad with Italy's top talent.

man you gotta love this player, He is pure quality. whenever he has the ball something danger will happen

Ender · Feb 1, 2016

Ok, so people might not agree with what I'm about to say, but for me first half of Bonaventura was not good... not sure if a couple of rough challenges that Inter had on him were a factor, but overall his play was a disappointment. Much better in the second half, was positioned closer to the defense and that side became much better defensively, came out of the shell in the last 25-30 min when the spaces grew bigger.

milanpalermo23 · Feb 1, 2016

Italian David silva.

Seriously if he was Spanish there would be big teams all over him for 45m.

He's awesome.

i agree, i thought he was quite throughout most of the game. Good to see other players stepping up to create chances when he was not. In many games this season we look far too dependent on whether or not jack can create. If we can play like we did today for the rest of the season I will be very pleased. Was a fine assist he made.

Has an average game and still leaves someone on his ass :lol:

vidarth · Feb 1, 2016

Someone should make a compilation of Bonas filthiest dribbles. The guys technique is amazing :eek:

Deunamist · Feb 1, 2016

that dribble, so effortless, so easy for Bona

Ronin · Feb 1, 2016

Bona's rebound and assist for the last goal is so Klopp style. If we keep pressing and pushing the opponents like this, it's gonna be great.

Ragazza · Feb 1, 2016

thoroughly enjoyed watching him play yesterday :star:

Qaas · Feb 1, 2016

So consistent.. Love it

Well, it looked like Klopp's Gegenpressing tactics, which I guess Miha's trying to implement as well. Kudos to him

-a- Klopp hasn't invented the full field pressing, even Barcelona with Guardiola used to do it. Sacchi used to do it though at the time there was no passive offside. Heck, even Liverpool with Suarez used to do it especially in the home field games.

-b- If you've seen any Sampdoria games from last season, you know that this is how they used to play, sometimes it's a bit higher, sometimes it's a bit lower but it's always about putting the opponent under pressure.

-c- a tactic doesn't make a coach, if that was the case the 4-2-3-1 formation of Inter is a lot more avantgarde than the 4-4-2 formation that we had. Heck, even the 3-5-2 of Allegri is a lot more different than the 3-5-2 of Conte.

-c- With Balotelli on the field there will be no pressing game, and even with Menez I have my doubts. In fact, I remember we used to press a lot more in the starting games of the season, so I think Miha has taken the time to gradually increase the intensity.

Soldier_of_god · Feb 3, 2016

Its hard to maintain such high intensity for an entire game though.

nuttela · Feb 4, 2016

A chill game from Giacomo. What are his Euro chances?

VultureSheva · Feb 4, 2016

83 passes, 94% accurate.

Good, he has started to be a midfielder, not like in the last season where he was a winger in 4-3-3.

milanist · Feb 4, 2016

love giacomo, so smooth

Surely his chances are right up there. Brings bit of a different dynamic to the National team IMO.
