Reijnders is something else, i watch him closely because he is my fav player, during the game there are many scenarios when he is free and ask the ball but our player either dont pass or they being late and pass elsewhere.

His heads always move, watch every player position, free himself to take the ball, but also off the ball he creates space for the team. He has idea what to do before he take the ball, there is a need for a DM and strong CB so there is more room for risky play.

He is so intelligente i with we use his creativity more. He is getting better game by game.

Tremendous performance. Thank you boys. Goof stuff.

I believe even if dybala and sanches and aoar played we would still win based on today's performance.

Pioli resta, grazie Pioli.

Great performance. I did worry when we conceded, fearing it would happen again, but in truth this was a comfortable game where we looked good.

Our form lately has been good. Glad Adli got a goal.

Abate was only faster
Abate was much faster and he could occasionally have a great defensive performance, but he could also get ruined at times (like against Diego Milito every time for some reason). He shut down Cronaldo once.

I still laugh at how Abate was well regarded for his great crossing before coming back, then he comes back and promptly delivers every single cross into Row Z.

He also very competently became a CB at the end.

Can someone make a Pioli Resta, Grazie Pioli meme like the one we had for Berlusconi?

Yes correct but very poor technically

Bennacer can take the AM position when he is back. Benny is capable.

We have had enough of RLC.
Both of them are poor at AM

But I guess Benny is the slightly better option if RLC can't even make up his mind on what to do.

Just play Adli at CAM and put Bennacer in a double pivot with Reijnders. They'd be a triangle that would rotate and cover for each other, not giving a reference point for our opponents as they shift between positions.

We used to have Kessie who could literally play where ever the fuck we put him in the midfield. Now we two options for AM, one is bad and the other one is worse.

So sad but true.

Yeah that's why it was so surprising.

He was incredibly quick and apparently lethal with his crosses and then he came here and it looked like he was purposefully trying to have the worst crosses ever.

A deathbed Oddo on one leg was much more potent offensively than him. I remember Oddo being subbed on against Napoli and making two incredible assists at his old age.

I mean Kessie played AM but we on the forum never wanted him to.

He provided balance there but he had the technical prowess of a quadriplegic other than his penalties.

How he managed to scuff so many goals in his last season I have no idea, even got two in one game.

I used to call him defensive attacking midfielder because he was amazingly good at breaking opponents build-ups from a position high up.

He was also ill-treated at Barcelona I believe. Feels like his potential was never fully recognized in Europe.

Now the man is playing in Saudi and he is only 27 which makes my heart ache.

Image of him shielding the ball vs 3 Atalanta players will for ever be in my memories.

Leao will be the next Balotelli.

Have's: talent, ideal physical attributes, a good environment to strive in, fans' hope and expectation, so on and so forth.

Not-have: just one and only one, a good attitude towards the game and his career.

One year older than Adli but the two attitudes are thousands of miles apart.

Watch him free fall.

I find his failure hilarious

He kept promising a renewal until it was too late to sell him and even refused moves that would have helped us get something for him. Considering our form during his departure this was almost definitely planned so he could get more money and handpick his team
We were doing great and growing and he was rising into a leadership role and he discarded that and fked us over to get his dream move to barca

Glad he got fucked over by the club he fucked us over for

Leao hasn't shown any off-the-field issues, he doesn't act up, he doesn't do dumb shit.

Today, I actually think he was very unselfish. I don't think he really messed up any shots, the opportunity to shoot or take a shot wasn't really there and he actually put others through on goal a few times. Pulisic should have had at least one goal from his service.

Leao misplaced two passes, a back heel in the first half, and a bad squared pass.

He's not selfish, he's not a primadonna, and he actually worked hard defensively, too.

There are games to give Leao shit, I don't think this was one of them.

He really was a moron leaving and we never properly replaced him
