Once again Mr. 100% concentrated coming to the rescue...............for Lazio.

Wtf u talking about? He did win the aerial duel and that wasn't easy... it's not like you can really control the ball in these situations. Calabria left his man free... again

C'mon bro. That it is aerial defending 101.
Kind of similar to Gigio's fuckups when he punched the ball in crosses, far away and to the sides.

how the hell is that zapata's fault. the ball had lost all its power when it reached to him. abate and calabria should be more focused too. even gattuso has to share a little blame as he stopped the ball right in the touchline instead of letting it go which allowed lazio to launch the ball quickly.

He completly misjudged the flight of the ball... How is it not his fault? In the end, even RR didn't do anything at all to try stopping his man. IMO Abate did what he was supposed to, covering for Zapata's "clearance", while Calabria was quite far away, watching right side. Probably Kessie should cover the middle, but in the end, it was all Zapatas fuckup.

His best performances are second to none. The only issue is that you never know what you get. Unstable CBs are an achilles team for all teams.

Another great performance, ultimate professional. Doesn’t get any game time and when the injuries have struck he stayed ready and has been a massive reason why we’re still 4th atm. He and Abate having formed a good partnership, really happy they have been holding it together.

If they keep this up, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t stay at Milan next season on low wages.

Disagree, I thought he was fantastic again today. Could you ask more from a 4th choice CB?

except for the donna save and other half chances we limited their attacking play and that too with both cbs already booked. so i think this is more than good enough performance.

I was actually expecting a corner goal from him, but other than that all has been good.

He played very well. But I would sub this guy every game in 85th minute. He makes me too nervous last minutes. He tends to fuck up last minutes.

Credit where it's due, he's actually played decent for a while now.

Should start alongside Romagnoli from now, he earned his spot this season.

Agreed :thumbsup: Provides the physical presence and pace that allows us to play a bit higher up the field.

Caldara we can ease in next season, similarly to Conti, after a full preseason.

He should start alongside Piatek, instead of Borini. That attacking play was class :proud:

If Ranocchia can do it, why not him?
