Very on point and I mostly agree with you. Pasalic was very bad once again, he misses too many big chances where we could have scored way earlier. Thankfully in the end he got an assist not even me with a broken leg could have missed, but to his credit I mist say he did very well on positioning him perfectly in that ocasion, finally running into the right spaces and not always hiding somewhere behind opponents.
Bacca as I said many times is not the right player fir this system, Montella demands him to do things that he can't so he seems like a fish out of water. What we need is a target man (tall, physically string à la Giroud, Dzeko or Kane for example)
or a player who has a very good technique/first touch so that he's able o create spaces within micoseconds without struggling with the ball like bambi on ice.
Bacca is a great pocher but our system simply doesn't need that kind of player and since Bacca seems unable to adapt he will always look like a fish out of water
....i'm still fucking pissed.
