Musacchio - who?
Conti - unfair, was doing ok then basically got a career-ending injury
Rod - good left foot and cross, cr*p everything else.
Biglia - less than mediocre
Kessie - had potential but just not up to it
Hakan - yup
Silva - worse than rubbish
Borini - worse than Silva
Kalinic - worse than aids.

Bonucci - MINCEMINCEMINCE


Harsh on Musacchio. I think of all those players, he’s been the most consistent one.

Andre Silva to start instead of Piatek, and Calhanocrap instead of Paqueta, according to Mediaset. Also Castillejo as well.

Giampaolo has lost it.

I'm actually liking the attack more with Silva...

Paqueta instead of Samu would work better but overall it's much more fluid this week

Could, not score that second goal for love or money. But that's 3pts on the board, that's all that matters at this point

But we play goddamn awful against two relegation candidates. All negative aspects from last season are amplified plus Giampaolo experimenting with Samu doesn't help either. This is a complete and utter mess.

I give Giampaolo 2 months. He'll be gone by December. Who should we call next? Ambrosini? Shevchenko? Kaladze?

Piatek is rusty and one-dimensional, at least Silva has some intelligence in this utterly stupid bunch of players we have available.

Agreed about Samu, but I think there were some positive signs today compared to the crapfest we saw last Sunday.

In the end Piatek was unlucky not to score, especially that one right on the line.

If no one else comes in this window, which is looking more and more likely, I'd like to see Paqueta behind the strikers. He's such a quick thinker and he's strong as well. As soon as he moved up the pitch from the midfield position you could instantly see a change in how he played. He's too shackled on that left side.

Hakan was also much better today than last week, which isn't saying much, I know considering the nightmare of a game he had last Sunday, but I was happy overall with how he played.

We can whine and whine, but it seems like these will be the players we'll have for this season, so I'm hoping Giampaolo can get the best out of them and play all of them in the positions they excel in. I'm giving him he benefit of the doubt for now, he needs to get to know all the players well, especially those who were on NT duty this summer, but if he can't get his bearings by the end of September, then yes, he'll probably be gone by xmas.

Allegri was in the stands, what do you think about him returning? I was never a fan but he's a functional coach if nothing else.

I don't think we're really playing to his strengths to be honest. But yeah, Silva provides a lot more movement, he's rusty too, but he can drift to the wings, go to midfield and still be comfortable, not to mention that he can be quick once he gets going.

I feel like Suso is our most creative player and he's gifted but he's limited as well, and right now, I feel like we're playing to accommodate him and that's not going to be sustainable, because as talented as he is, he is equally limited in the way he plays

Not really, we had good spells and bad spells, nothing like the Udine game. There's a lot of room for improvement though, and if this is the squad we end up with come next Monday, Giampaolo needs to start utilising all his best players to the best of their abilities, or we won't be going anywhere this season aside from mid-table

Looks like Bennacer played an excellent game.

Yes, really liked him, clean passes, quick on his feet, doesn't dawdle on the ball, always looks for the forward pass and covers space well

The midfield still looks very disjointed as a unit but both he and Kessie played well today

Yes, Bennacer certainly looked good. Agreed.

I would say we played better then against Udinese, but mind that Brescia is essentially a Serie B team. That being said, I don't think we're up to anything this season. The comments Giampaolo is giving make me realize he's a typical Italian hack alla Ventura. Surprise switches and shock picks to shake things up, much complicated stategizing, etc but virtually everything suited for a small club mentality.

Eeek!

Hope he's not as bad as Ventura, but yes, his picks are head scratchers.

I'm trying to give him as much benefit of the doubt as I can. He's still getting to know this team, so I expect some wacky choices for now. But starting Samu is getting old fast, especially when you have Paqueta and Leao on the bench. Leao, if nothing else, is definitely a big presence in the attack and is very quick, while Paqueta is smarter and more creative. There's no excuse to playing Samu over them, especially in positions that are not wide

So, I didn't watch the game last night, but I watched the highlights. We created a lot, should have scored another two IMO.
