Is pulisic a LW? Cause he looks crap on the right. That's the only explanation.

TBF, Verona is a tough team to break down. If people expected an easy 3:0 by HT they set themselves up for disappointment. On top of that we hate teams who sit back and let us come at them. It is who we are. A forced change in formation due to injuries and fatigue wasn't going to magically change that :lol:

The fucking commentators mentioning that we've lost to Inter 5 times in a calander year...

That fucking hurts man!!!

Those that keep saying it's only 3 points, or it's a meaningless supercup, look at the bigger picture blah blah blah... Nah, it fucking cuts deep. Can Pioli just fucking beat them next game for fuck sake.

Not to sacrifice say league position for a one off game, but fuck, just hearing it mentioned, 5 defeats to inter in a 12 month period. Fuck.

I want Okafor as false 9 in the 2nd half.

Giroud is great in the box no one can replace him but outside of it... its old let him rest for the other game.

Jovic i think its not ready yet.

I’m just glad we are winning, at this point last season it would’ve been a stick on draw or worse

Bar his penalties and a tap in goal he has literally done fuck all most games.

He’s had a goal contribution in every game. Dismissing penalties and a “tap in” is such a bad argument for a striker being poor when their main job is to contribute to goals. He’s also had 3 lovely assists. The first the excellent flick to pulisic, the second a perfectly weighted through ball to Leao against inter, and the third the same thing in this game. I actually think overall his hold up play has been quite good and he is still pressing very well. The games he hasn’t looked ‘lively’ are objectively the ones we performed poorly as a team.

Only Oli could bang out very decent performances and get calls for being dropped :lol:

The moment we finally have a well rounded CF to take over from Giroud is when we will the next step up.

No rhyme or rhythm when we have possession. Just pop the ball up the field and hope guys create magic. That's the Pioli way.

That is why everybody looks disjointed and exhausted out there all the time, every game. Because there is no legit tactics for attacking in the opponent's half. Our players are literally creating shit on the fly. That puts a strain on the entire team out there.

We're only up because we made Verona make a mistake. Other than that...psshh. We can't even impose our will on opponents.

But Pioli won us a Scudetto, so...

I think what Giroud does really well is falling back, drawing defenders out of position, and giving a much needed help in controlling the midfield.

What I don't like is that more often than not all he does is flicking and that not successive enough to do so constantly (yeah I know one of those flicks resulted in an assist. But given how 80% of his touches are flicks, chances were high for that :lol:)
