Disappointing game.

Really expecting much better from certain players. Losing 2 points here already is annoying, especially when we should be burying this Atalanta.

Issues are clear imo. There is still time left to do something about it. Sadly I don't think there's any money for the 3 more players that we need

Terrible performance. Sloppy, lazy, clueless. Brahim and Rebic completely annulled their great showings from last week. But man Leao, second ghostly performance in a row. Absolutely horrible. Messias and Salad completely useless. Our whole attack was a mess.

We need more creativity. Please play CDK regularly now, and where's Adli???

I think we'll see Adli in the next one.

When you have Messias on the pitch and then bring on Salamaekers it just goes from bad to worse

We're currently seeing the worst of Leao atm, he needs to take his head out of his @ss and start playing for the team and not just himself, especially when his touch isn't on it just makes everything looks worse. Counted 3 times when he should have passed in great areas but decided to shoot.

Rebic is such a Jekyll and Hyde type of player man. But I think the 3 at the back Atalanta use was giving him a lot of trouble. He couldn't really press the as he'd usually do against a team with a back 4. Plus Brahim didn't help. Honetly I think we looked leggy just 20 minutes in. I really hope this is just early season conditioning, because otherwise that was just lazy. Tonali also not at his best.

I really hope we get to see Origi up front in the next one. Pioli is using him on the wing, which boggles my mind that we can play him wide but not CDK...

That's why we should play CDK on the right. Cos we can't be starting games with Messias or Saladmaker. It's embarrassing that the Italian champions have them as starters.

Agreed about Tonali. I thought he looked off tonight as well, maybe cos of the injury.

Btw, gigantic performance by Bennacer. Goal aside, he held the midfield on his own. That's why I rate him so much.

Yeah, Tonali looked tired. This is why I have been banging on and on and on about the 3rd mid. We have to have someone else who can step in and is of starter quality. That's what we had last season, and you can clearly see that Pioli does not trust Pobega. Last season that would have been one of the first subs. One of the mids comes off and another one of the 3 replaces him. It regenerates our play, now he cannot do that. That is why I said that we have weakened the squad. At CB as well. Last season we had 4 starting level players, now we have 3. Not as dire, but still last season we were deeper in the 2 most crucial areas of the pitch. The attack was sh!t last season but the foundations were the best in the league imo in terms of quality in depth. Now we don't have that and unless we resolve that situation we're going to pay for it big time, especially with how thick and fast the fixtures will be coming at us starting this weekend.

Re the RW. CDK is not going to be played there imo. That is why I still think we need a player like Ziyech and why I will maintain to my dying breath that picking up that option on Messias was a colossal mistake. That 4m could have easily been used as a loan payment for a loan + option deal. The money would have loosened Chelsea up, just like we did with Tomori. Now there is no more money left and we're stuck with Cheech and Chong on the RW

Benna is top class. We better f@cking get him to put pen to paper!

Btw, Krunic's injury is apparently serious, so if the situation at midfield was dire before now we're at def con levels. We simply have to bring in someone decent for that position

Someone will come in, the team can not depend on just Bennacer and Tonali.

There is still time to close a deal.

Looks like it will be this Onana guy of Bordeaux. Very perplexing choice. I mean, it's 23 August and we're going after somebody in Ligue 2 for whom no other party has shown any interest and who is not even starting games for his club anymore. From Renato to this guy. Not even the downgrade from the infamous Mr. X to Aquilani back in the day was this appalling. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Just play pobega or someone from youth team rather than spending anything on an unknown who then becomes difficult to get rid of as well like this balla toure

The issue is that we have no budget to work with. And we also need a CB and ideally a RW (even though we're obviously not looking for one - FFS, third summer in a row we're going in with an abysmal right side). Maldini and Massaro are good, but there is a limit as to how far 10m can be stretched.

I say we forget about the CB and spend the 10m on the midfielder. Hopefully we'll have an actual budget to work with in January and we can go for one then.

We'll see. I'm not going to judge whoever we bring in before seeing him play. Bennacer and Krunic came from a relegated Empoli. Both turned out good. Adli as well cam from the same team as Onana, but he's been great every time we've seen him in pre-season. From what I've seen on youtube, he looks strong, athletic and good defensively obviously that's a very limited view, but if he's the guy we'll just have to wait and see.

This is not the days of Galliani where we panic buy players from agents we're friendly with

Nah man, Pobega does not look good in that pivot, he's actually quite scary in that position, and not in a good way. The fact that Pioli left Tonali out there when he was clearly struggling with fatigue against Atalanta and didn't bring on Pobega shows you that he doesn't trust him.
