That second half was poor. We did nothing but pass the ball in the back. Fonseca continues to deceive. One or two wins and loss. This will continue all season. Overall we didnt trouble atalanta much.

The issue is Fonseca threw away the season already against Parma, Cagliari etc. Now, he will fight tooth and nail. I can see us go on a winning streak. I think we’ll find our way to 4th.
I really, really hope we get top four. The prospect of being 6 points back of Fiorentina with a game in hand does not fill me with confidence.

The next four games in Serie A he should win, without question. It would be a travesty if he doesn't.

We need January signings, and we need to hope and pray that Bennacer suddenly is healthy lol, oh man, we're screwed.

This squad is poorly built, for sure, but Fonseca does not seem able to make second-half adjustments, at all, it worries the hell out of me.

too many great players to list but if pushed all time favorite player: Maldini
Chuk has to go out on loan at the least. He is just not good enough unfortunately
Chuk is awful. His only redeeming quality is enthusiasm otherwise he has poor touch, a poor footballing brain and his biggest Achilles heal a RW who cannot use his right foot to control, pass, cross or shoot. He needs to go in January.

So, on this I disagree. I actually think today we were beaten by a better team. They dismantled Napoli 3-0 in Naples.

But I do think we are improving and we will get past the likes of Fiorentina and Lazio.

Losing Puli was bad today. Losing Lookman on the post, worse. But today’s game was a straightforward case of losing to a team that is playing better than you currently. It’s remarkable we held on for as long as we did.

Just want to add that fighting for 4th is for me not a great spot to be in. :/

Fonseca every stronger game, goes for draw. Pass to put oponent to sleep and catch them on break.

Every game s same. Atalanta plays high press and he puts morata to drop deep. Instead of telling striker to ocupy cbs. Or play 2 strikers.

We cant catch a break

I saw some good signs , it was an unlucky loss but we didn't do enough in the second half especially to earn points whereas Atalanta finished strong.

This team is better in possession, passing is cleaner, defence is more compact, we actually had our best team on there.

I agree that Fonseca needs to do more, he has to find ways to eke out the wins because that's what we big teams do, we keep finding ways and he doesn't have that, his in game management needs more work.

But he has some good stamp on the way we play. I see some things being done better, things that bothered me under Pioli.

I'll just have to be content with a top 4 finish and good runs in CL and win Coppa. I also still believe in the scudetto we are not out until we are out. We can build something good, we have a good team.

Blame should go to the management, no quality depth, cheap. Then the others - I don't know what is wrong with Theo.

The objective of top four will be an uphill battle and Milan as they are will struggle. Big decisions and key changes are required in January or it’s arrivederci Champions League.

Hopefully Puli is ok. RLC can warm the bench, next to his buddy Tomori. The centerbacks were ok. Dont know whats wrong with Theo - all that diving and also getting owned so many times on the left. The pass on Leao was wonderfull.

Our whole right side was an Horror Show. No creative outlet there whatsoever. Puli is essential. Leao did not receive anything in the 2half. Atalanta forced us to use the right side and we could not do anything.

We really need a physical striker . I thought more than once how cool it would be to have Giroud and I would play him next to Morata and Leao. We need two big time strikers in this club. You need that presence, someone who is a real attacking outlet.

You could get hired to be upper management..attack attack attack..FFS. It's defenders and midfielders we lack. The attack takes care of itself..Pulisic and Leao alone guarantee goals.

Atalanta can afford to rest players against us. Fun times. Rest their star striker.

Conceding this close to the end of the game always hurts. But Atalanta is the stronger team, this season for sure. Best in Italy. Probably only second to Liverpool right now. I didn't had high hopes for this game. We're not there, but that's no news.

I look at the bright side and say we looked more compact and actually quite in control of the game, even in the 2nd half, at least from a defensive POV. Offensively we didn't do enough in the 2nd half to deserve more than a point. And then we conceded a late goal on a standard with Emerson taking a big fat nap.

It sucks. But this is not the loss that's giving me sleepless nights.

I think we need to think about a new coach at this rate we are going to finish 8th. It has too irregular results.
You talk about a rookie but I'm not even sure that changes anything.

Between an irregular coach and an unbalanced squad we risk missing the top 4.
When you see Reijnders followed by City, Leao his rating is falling and Hernandez also our 3 best players watch out.
Even Maignan has PSG rumors.

Without LdC I'm afraid we'll be a broken team even if we change coaches.
We're not there yet, but we often make this kind of observation... I wondered how these leaders think.

We need a guy to tug at their central defenders. Push them around, pressure them. Giroud's defensive contribution was probably his best asset. Morata is good but he is not as physical.

Wait that sleepy, slow and lame possesion in the second half means we controlled the game? Lol we looked like we are ok with the draw or we are waiting from a goal to randomly go in their net. I swear Leao touched the ball 3 times in the 2nd half
