This will most likely be the decisive match for Montella, not getting the 3 points here will most likely cost him is job, and I have to say, that from a long-term perspective, that would be the better outcome for us

Oh, and Han, one side note. Perhaps in the future we could rename this thread something like "Match thread - Genoa to... [Chievo]". Because simply changing the thread name is like falsifying/missrepresenting archival documents (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Noted

I didn't watch the match at all. Just twitter updates. Anyone want to tell me what it is that worked in thsi 3-4-2-1 this time? Besides Suso being on the right and no Bonucci! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I'm hoping all our bad luck is finally turning. I don't know if it's just over-optimism, but twitter fans have said that we were looking effective but the final thing was not coming together. Today it looks like it did, despite Chievo being set up defensively.

Honestly, I think a major factor was how terrible Chievo were

The other important component was Suso, he was great, and it's no coincidence that this happened after he was moved wide and in a more advanced position. He's simply not effective in retreated or central areas. The defence was ok, they didn't have much to deal with, Kessie being the only player who managed to make a defence splitting pass against his own team. This guy seriously needs to learn how to concentrate, so sloppy
