I'd love it if daniel could grow into WC player, break into first team and take on the shirt no 3.

Maldini can play. But he's not ready yet. I feel like a year on-loan to a Serie A side would be important for him, unless they really think he can contribute.

Exactly this. I'm just not sure having his for the full season will help him grow, or that he can contribute much at all. Getting solid minutes elsewhere is the best thing. He's clearly talented and has the will to grow.

Giroud has been very impressive

I'm sold. Not only the goal on his first touch :lol: but his movement off the ball is great, links up well to spread play like with Samu/BT when he was outnumbered instead of just losing the ball or trying to shoot.

He's been better than Diaz today for sure. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he beats Diaz as first AM sub this season. Diaz's small frame really puts a limit on his game

Is it weird that I celebrated Giroud’s goal like this was an official game?

I would rather watch Daniel as AM or RW than Krunic.
So shipped Krunic out and keep Daniel

Pioli speaking to the Nice players after the match is really nice. Very much a people's person.

Fans in the stadium, against a good opposition... scoring with his first touch? Nope, I did too.

Feels very much more like an official game than many last season. The atmosphere alone with fans makes the game feel alive.

Unfortunately, he has been better than Diaz. You can say because Diaz was facing the first XI of Nice, and that's fine.

The problem is, I've seen this Diaz before. This is the sort of Diaz that worries the hell out of me.

I wonder if Hakan had been more direct about how shitty he was, would Maldini have paid the 35m to Udinese for De Paul before Atletico got there?

Krunic is a useful sub, but we have a huge hole in our CAM spot, and Diaz isn't ready to fill it, he just isn't, maybe he never will be. He's got talent, but he strikes me more as Bojan than David Silva or Juan Mata, which are the players he should be emulating.

Nice showings from all 3 new players, as well as Daniel and Romagnoli. Found Diaz very disappointing and Pobega didn't show much.

Daniel enjoying himself. Was it Leao that said Maldini was actually the most talented player in the squad? Seeing some flashes of it tonight..

Hakan said it. Maybe this is why he left for Inter? Got intimidated
