I'm not mad or surprised that we gave up two goals so early or that our come-back resulted in a draw, a score that doesn't help either team. To the neutral observer it was a very exciting match because of the many chances to score which the magnificent saves of De Gea and Maignan prevented while our defense continues to be a disaster and gifting the ball to our foes. Palladino said that it's been years since he's seen such an exciting game even though he lost a two goal lead.
Read that it's been 27 years since a defender has given up 3 own goals in one season, record that Thiaw can break since there are still 7 matches left. Tomori's return has not been a good one, so he probably won't be back next season. Theo was totally outplayed by Dodo, one of my favorite RBs that I wish was playing for us over a finished Walker. Fiorentina had 2 goals annulled, including a superb long shot not given because of an earlier foul from a different player, but they were the more deserving overall.
Fiorentina is so much better than us in midfield and striker, A trio of Italians with Fagioli-Mondragora-Casale with the first that was exceptional, a better passer than all of ours put together that has taken the starting job away from Adli. Quick, precise, and crisp like the across the field one that initiated the first goal. Kean looked dangerous every time he touched the ball and couldn't be contained by our CBs. One of our posters recently opined that he would take him for 20 million which is a pipe dream. Kean has scored 17 in the league and has a release clause of 52 million that some EPL club will offer. Commisso said that Kean and Fagioli our untouchable but doubt if he's able to keep the striker.
We are what the record says we are and making excuses for our players won't change the fact that we're barely over mid-table. So the next 7 matches I will be watching for entertainment purposes only, won't stress over results or ref's decisions but just enjoy the sport.
