So did not watch the game sadly. Only first 35 as we were up 2-1. How did we play? How was prince Charles? Why is pioli hating on Adli?
We need another mid asap and a cb
Team overall looked a little rusty, the form and movement wasnt really there.
The attack is looking revitalized with Diaz and Rebic back in some form. Very quiet game from Leao and Messias. Our depth in attack is scary, Origi and CDK looked really nice for those few touches they had.
The midfield was a bit messy, not great ball retention and a lot of back passes. Maybe a bit expected without Tonali but i would also add a little imbalanced because of Diaz, which is sad to say because he had a good game. Pobega off the bench looked lost, even got turned at one point, maybe first game nerves.
Defense looked a little too relaxed at times. With that back four we look weak on high balls, both goals being headers and weak marking. Overall it was okay, Theo with a great defensive performance today and Kalulu also very good. Calabria had a mixed game, responsible for two goals but wasteful and not the best defensively. Overall i didnt see that much leadership, i can see a chance that Kjaer gets his place back.
Overall great game, we just have to get some form and chemistry back. I do think we’re one attacker too many, and really lack a solid DM backup. Besides that i think we’re ready.
