Leao winning balls he's got no business getting to. But yeah he's so lazy...
I think Pioli needs to let him take a penalty to get him back in the saddle

Theo was incredible tonight, a real captains performance.

Overall great result. Dug in, defended well and always looked dangerous on the counter. Now on to Thursday night, let's win the UEL.

Excellent 3 PTS

Some really good performances but the same main issues continue - that's what needs to be sorted out in summer

Leao wasn't being "unselfish" he was hiding.
I get it. When you play sports it happens
Nothing goes your way so you try to take a supporting role.
But he needs that more bitch in him
In that regard he's right. He's missing that mentality that's in the absolute top players
Passing the ball wasnt a bad decision.
Its more likely to get a goal from passing the ball in that situation.
The problem is that his pass was a bit off.

In other news. Osimhen losing in the AFCON final.
He missed the Napoli loss just to lose against Ivory Coast.
LMAO.

Finally, we played for zero, albeit with a sin in half. Leao, for once, was useful not only in episodes but also in general.

Bennacer is not ready to play at the moment and he should not be on the field with Renn

Happy victory to all! We fuck what moves and what doesn't move, we move and fuck

What’s with the bias against Leao. Wasn’t he good just the last game? Maybe I’m misremembering.

Oh right, and one point behind Ladri, who play Udinese tomorrow without Vlahovi or Chiesa.

True elite players, especially forwards are selfish when they play. They will shoot firsthand, as if they plan it in their head before they get the ball, unless it's really obvious that a pass is better. Leao this season, looks like he is looking for the assist first hand...playing that supporting role instead of looking for the goal for himself. I really dislike this change, he seemed way more selfish the previous two seasons.

too many great players to list but if pushed all time favorite player: Maldini
Very tough intense game. A valuable 3 points, solid performances although I wish Leao was sharper in his shooting and more ruthless when in good positions to score otherwise great game. Adli is really growing into the team dynamic - imagine if Pioli had given him opportunity to do this much earlier, better late than never I guess. A well earned 3 points.

You aren’t wrong. But those types of “bad decisions” are what the MBappes and Viniciuses make regularly. They should pass it more than they should shoot… but because they have a good chance of scoring, they take it and you’re banking on them to make it.

That requires the confidence that Leao simply doesn’t have right now. Pioli has let this get out of hand. There are so many situations that he just doesn’t address. I hope Rafa’s dad helps him get back on track.
