I am back from my trip and I can give some info on what I saw.
1. This team is tired. I know it sounds dumb as it is still September, but believe me we were tired before the half-time. Especially Calabria looked quite weak physically (turned out he is sick). I have watched him live before and he was tireless, while this weekend he looked like a 45 year old with asthma. I guess he was fighting the fever and was not 100%.
2. Abate is shit. I never liked him even when he was at his "peak" but now he is utter shit. He was so easy to pass that Gomez and Zapata were not even interested in playing against him. Please kick him out already. He's been in Milan for like 10 years now and he has almost 300 games for Milan
WTF????
3. Suso is quite underrated. He is a bit slow at times and looses focus easily but he is a VERY intelligent player. Almost any of his plays were with an idea, not just getting rid of the ball. He was the ONLY player on the field who was crossing to a specific target. He was not just kicking the ball towards the penalty area, but he was looking for a particular team mate and was finding him all the time. He needs more support though. I actually think that he will be a whole different player in 3-4-3 having Conti or Calabria at a more advanced position.
4. Gatusso lost the team IMO. He is screaming all the time and nobody is paying attention
Literally
5. Hakan is not the player from last year. Apart from 1 good cross to Higuain he did nothing. I guess these personal issues with the divorce are taking their toll.
6. Higuain is a beast. During the warm up he had like 10 shots from outside the box and scored like 7-8 against both Donna and Reina. What we need to do is give him space to shoot from distance. Unfortunately this can't happen without Cutrone on the field, which leaves us with no subs at all, which means it is not happening.
7. We have a HUGE problem with set pieces. Every corner or free kick is a potential goal. Don't know why this is happening but it is absurd.
8. Romagnoli is handsome af.
