Spezia gave me flashes of the Lille game. That's the last game I remember where we were pressed to the point where we could barely get passed the midfield. Even in the Atalanta game we still created some chances, today it was just nothing
Yes the players were a complete let down, but man, Spezia really did a number on us with the way the pressed us.
Pioli really needs to think of a plan B for such approaches from opposing teams because we clearly suffer. Our midfield was a huge problem today. Kessie, Bennacer and Hakan all made serious errors. The movement wasn't good and we rarely had an out ball.
Credit to Spezia though, they beat us and Sassualo these past 2 weeks. They're a good side and playing like this would give anyone a run for their money.
The derby next week is do or die for any Scudetto hopes
