Damn. I know it is against 10 men but this team looks so much better this year. So many more guys who are proficient and comfortable making passes. So much smoother in transition.

If we're playing with 2 strikers at some point this season we should definitely keep him and focus on signing another wide player/midfielder

The fact that we have players who don't sh!t a brick when they have the ball at their feet (especially in midfield) also helps a LOT |

We made a mess of things playing some really poor teams last year. The midfield upgrade is incredible. Kessie is like Kucka with thee times the skill, ten times the brains, and some how even twice the motor. |

Conti should have hit the target there.

That should have been another penalty

It was only 10 men. It was only Crotone. BUT.
The gulf tonight has been unbelievable. Think back to the equivalent last year - Crotone held us with ease and we only scraped the win thanks to a 88th minute winner from that crappy Pescara guy. This time we've had 78% possession, 3 goals, and there's not a player out there who's done the shirt any disgrace at all. I won't judge too much - it's 10 men and it's Crotone, but what a difference. PS Han and X's apology over Cutrone is almost deafening (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) this kid is the real deal. Give him a chance and he buries it. |

Obviously the red card + penalty changed everything, but we'd win regardless. There's such a difference in quality from last season, starting from the backline and then with guys like Kessie and Calhanoglu (who still looks a bit out of shape). Even Suso seems on fire. To think that with Biglia, Bonaventura and Silva we'll be even stronger. |

Maybe we will not score this much against a decent squad bit we have some beasts in the defence. Cant see other teams scoring us so easily as they did in the past. |

To think that with Biglia, Bonaventura and Silva we'll be even stronger. Don't forget Kalinic and Romagnoli. I think Kalinic will be a major boost in attack compared to Bacca from last season, and when Romagnoli comes back I really do feel that Montella will switch it up |

Cant see other teams scoring us so easily as they did in the past. 2nd half of last season we played the majority of the games with Zapata and Paletta in the middle, the major gulf between those two and the Bonucci-Musacchi pairing is huge |
