Vulture says he didn't watch first half but shitting on Calabria with stat "facts". Pretty sure Calabria's first half was very good and bailed us out a couple times on that side. As I replied earlier, as he got tired out in the second half he made some errors sure, then you see Napoli's players on that side and who they are it's expected that he may be dribbled past. Glad Samu stepped up defensively to cover it though later.

Saelemakers got injured in the first half. I dont know why Bonera kept him on the field.

Amazing win. I honestly didnt expect that.

I still dont understand why we let them have that much possession and let their defenders push that high.

Attacking wise this was up to the level we showed post covid break.

Best: zlatan, bena, calabria and theo

How would you stop that? If we push up with a high line you think Romagnoli and Kjaer can stop Politano/Lozano/Insigne/Mertens in a sprint? It was the right thing to do. Once they break our initial press, we dropped back very low to suffocate the space, while we can still attack them out wide our fast players on the break. It worked, they barely had any real chances.

Hope it'll be the right call when its our player clipping an opposing player after the pass has been made on the follow through.
Don?t worry. We are getting ridiculous yellow cards against us. I dont think you complained much about those though.

We saw what happened against Lille when we pushed forward, staying back was the right thing to do against Napoli.

Pingu,

I do not think you made a good use of your time addressing Pigeon.

Let him be, he has a scouting network to run.

Ibra is creating history this season.
Will definitely go down in history as the oldest player to rape Serie A.

Still worried that hardly anyone else scores besides Ibra.
At the very least, I would rest him against shit teams, so the team learns how to play without him.

I'm pretty sure we have the highest number of different goalscorers in our team.

And that number will keep rising in the next few games when the boys will do everything they can to prove they're more than just Ibra.

10 goals for Ibra already, that’s just outrageous. Highest goal scorer, even more than Ronaldo so far, beast

Most of those goals happened at the start of the season.
Last 3 matches it's all about Ibra
4 goals - Ibra
2 goals - others

It's a real shame Ibra misses games in the league, already on 10 goals in 6 he's played right? Would be capocannoniere at this rate and break records :D
Scoring for fun against Napoli.

At the same time, we need to show that we can play football without him.
40 y.o. player will not be there for us every week.

We hadn't won in Naples for 10 years.

The first goal from Zlatan was just world class. He is a living legend.

I just hope the injury isn't too serious.

Forza Milan!
