Another day another disappointing result. I will say that at least in this game there were some bright spots, for me Monto and Berto were our two best players, the defense also seemed to be pretty solid, despite conceding that goal. Speaking of which, did anyone else think that Belotti was offside when he shouldered it to Baselli? I didn't see a reply of the line, but to me it seemed clear as day on the live watch.
Back to the team, Miha is seriously frustrating with his substitutions. I mean it was obvious to everyone that Cerci should have come off around the 50 minute mark, the guy was absolutely smothered by Molinaro of all players. For me this should be his last time seeing the field for us. He was our worst player. Adding to this, Adriano should not be starting games either. He should be the second choice whenever Bacca is fit and healthy, he was also getting his butt whooped by Glik. Finally Kucka, that early (undeserved) yellow card seemed to take all of the wind out of him, the guy has been an industrious force for us since joining up, but today he went completely missing.
This cb partnership seemed to work, and there were some positive moments from Monto and Berto. This game gave me some hope, not for this season of course but for the future. I have high hopes from Romagnoli who seems to grow in confidence and skill from game to game. Bonaventura is looking like a bonafide talisman for a team without role models and Berto finally showed a glimpse of the player who we all hoped he could be. This season needs a miracle to end with a cl spot, but at least the team is beginning to gel. I had completely lost hope after the implosion against Napoli. I knew we were gonna tie the game but I thought it would be a Glik header off of the countless corners we conceded.
