I just can’t believe the Newcastle game why didn’t we get that W. That was pioli’s best game in months and people were bitching about it? Krunic was absolutely insane. Theo Hernandez has unbelievable physical gifts. Never leave me Theo.

If I was the owner I would have sold the entire attacking department Leao so wasteful, Giroud a level slower than everybody, chickweze so lazy and so tiny.

Calabria is getting grilled consistently.

Krunic taking corner kicks very good ones better than that ****** convention between midget and tonali last year.

Rlc injury is a shame.
Pobega and Krunic tried Thunderbolt from distance. Thank you our midfielders has been pussies in shooting since Hakan left

Tonali got park ji sunged :lol:

Difference between Tomori and Thiaw on land is very wide.

In air Tomori is very weak. Pioli needs to whipped for playing him, Pierre and midget for 7 months last year. Instead he was awarded a great new contract :lol:

Ow did chuckweaze play vs newcastle? I am hearing contrasting opinions here ? I dint watch the game cause pioli pissed me off after the derby loss.

Pobega seems to have adecent shot on him. In the extended highlights I watched chucky did ok. Not good and not bad. He had 2 chances to score as well. Hope he really doesn't flop.

They lost to the 6th placed team in the Greek league though. Brighton losing to them would be like Milan losing to Bologna.
They dint have their best striker. The Irish kid.

He has good technique but he has wooden right leg, very slight and tiny, very rusty . God I hope he comes good I don’t want to dislike him. He warmed up into the game.

Pobega looks to score always, the sequence where Leao imitated balotelli he tried to score twice. You anre insane to miss this game first 35 minutes are a banger.

Giroud was the worst player or Calabria. Davide was abused by Saelemaekers evil twin initially. Krunic:eek:

Leao did work very hard in the beginning and he was moving too fast for that finish. He was spent by minute 40. Shame we don’t have another striker

The idea is to rest Theo Calabria Mike and Loftus. But switching to a 3 back is stupid. Its a whole different movement and positioning that takes more than a week(3 days) to train and prepare.

Plus with Kalulu and Caldara injured why start all three main cbs at once, who do you sub in if theres an injury ? Pelegrino?

You choose to rest only one, Theo or Calabria, not both. Formation change should only come to rest 37yo Giroud. Play false nine, start Jovic, anything other than playing Giroud.

Verona isnt the craziest team so he might get away with it, but this is just amateurish. This is not how you rotate players in tight schedules.

I’m confused.

Is this for real? Yes those players don’t follow Krunic but did they even follow him in the first place :lol:

If they did and and then this happened then it’s truly bizarre. But I think it’s the latter. I think they never followed each other in the first place so it shouldn’t mean anything.

Otherwise I’d be concerned if there are dressing room problems.

It’s not real. I’m sure they just weren’t following in the first place and this guy just wants attention

Also I’m willing to bet that we’re not really playing a 343 (meaning we defend in a 541 block). It’s going to be our typical formation. Build ina. 3+2, defend in a 4141 block. At times it will ‘look’ like a back three, but we’ve looked like that all season so far. That’s the point of the inverted fullbacks.

What’s going to happen today is Thiaw is playing RB. Simple as that.

Ah yes, so if we lose to Verona we are excused due to missing Maignan and RLC.

Thank you.
We are apparently a big club though, right? So our bench should be good enough to accommodate for injuries etc. Brigton is a peasant club.

We are not excused if we lose to hellas Verona. We could very well lose though as we have a moron of a coach and we still can't play through the middle. We can't even string a few passes together vs low block teams.

Rotation has never been Piolis strength. I am a bit worried too.

He hasn’t found a balance. Either he’s grinding the best 11 for weeks, or he freaks out and changes half the team for no good reason.

Sure, our usual play from the back, especially this season, has both full backs pushing up and a mid dropping between the center backs. But the shape is still a back four. When he played the 343 vs Cremonese last season iirc, it was completely flat with little movement in the back. We’ll see soon, but on paper this is screaming imbalance.

Why aren’t they not even on the bench? It’s an important game and there is a week left for the next game. They should be on the bench at least.

Maybe Theo is tired but Calabria doesn’t even play for Italy and he got subbed off at half time.

Maybe it’s injury and that would suck…

Maybe revisionist but i recall him being better at it at some point. He had a good cb rotation before Kjaers injury. Even full backs would rotate more often. At some point he became too reliant on individuals like Theo, Leao and Giroud.

We do play on Wednesday.

I don't see a point in having them not in the squad at least if they're fit, but Theo looked exhausted against Newcastle.
