Calha and Suso have been awesome.

Calabria, too. Very watchable half.

Great half.. this is our best XI playing in the way that suits them and it shows. Suso, Hakan, Calabria (the best 3), Biglia and Cutrone all very good. A more focused Kessie could make the difference.

Awesome half, best half we’ve played in a long time. It’d be nice to get something from Bonaventura, he has been invisible in his 100th game for us.

Hakan has been awesome, some really good long passes in the half. Perhaps he is the playmaker we’ve been needing. Hopefully he can keep it up, oh and that touch past the defender was real nice.

We deserve to be up right now, Cutrone needs to get a little more involved somehow. We’re dominating play but he’s been quiet. Forza Milan!

We need box to box midfield and winger badly to offer some attacking variation for our coach

I’m afraid that Biglia will be sent off in the 2nd if not subbed off

Have not dominated like that in a while. Cutrone with a bad miss on the header but definitely cut down in the box but no call. Biglia great volley but saved, same with Suso’s curler. If we come out with that intensity we will score within the first 15 mins of the second half, we need to keep up the pressure.

Biglia still not on the needed level, and Kessie didnt do well. Too many technical mistakes, TOO MANY.

Bona worst on the pitch... by far :(

Hakan and Suso did well, Hakan finnally with some moves.

Calabria MOTM in 1st half.

Crotone is pure shit. MIlan still is missing rithm and speed. We play slow but with some good flashes.

Good first half. No changes needed... The point is playing Hakan doesn't suit to Bonaventura, he is a little bit lost between RR and Hakan (The right flank Cala - Kessie - Suso is more active) . Happy to see some crosses RR and Calabria. 2 - 0 for sure.

It wasnt Cutrone on the last header - either Hakan or Bonaventura

People saying Kessie wasn’t good is a bit of a surprise to me. He is extremely active and his and Calabrias running have given Suso space to create, Kessie may not be bossing the midfield with the ball at his feet but his play that half was crucial to how we moved the ball, I really liked what I saw from him and Calabria in their movements. Hopefully we get more of the same from both of them in the second half.

Yes

Kessie only problem is his shooting which is sometimes worse than amateur footballer

Kalinic probably will miss couple of sitters and my blood pressure will rise dangerously high :fp::fp::fp:

His physical ability and comfort on the ball allows him to combine well and create a good position, but then he loses focus just when the return ball comes and does something sub-optimal. I think we would have certainly been ahead last half had Kessie stayed alert throughout.

Lacks pace and cant dribble (similar to Suso) when he has space.

He would be ok if we are controlling the game but in a modern fast pace game I'm not sure
