Last 15 minutes yeah. We started good.

Our playmaking and attacking is just inexistent with guys like Krunic, Leao and Alexis. All three have been terrible. Giroud looks detached and Brahim has made a few childish mistakes.


Yeah, Maignan has looked good though

I was thinking why would we give Diaz number 10...if we plan to buy another starting AM?

Maybe because we don't...

Three games (not counting the amateurish Pro Sesto and Modena ones), only one goal scored, from a free kick nonetheless.

Management needs to address our absolutely lacklustre attack. Signing a 35 year old Giroud is not going to solve anything if he's supported by mediocrity. Once again Brahim and Alexis proved to be not starting material, whereas Leao and Rebic seem to have picked up from the terrible performances they left off.

Rebic in particular has become an enigma. After that exploding second half of season two years ago, he had a very mediocre season last year and a terrible Euro with Croatia. Honestly I'd rather play Leao as of right now and saying that should be a worry in and of itself.

We need quality. Desperately.

We really do. I really don't understand why we want to get rid of Pobega. He's done positive things and is so much better than Krunic. We need to focus on getting quality for the attacking area.

Good first half. Nice intensity. We lack quality in certain situations...but hopefully we'll see something better. Is Diaz even playing? I don't remember seeing him.

Saw the highlights. We created quite a few. Giroud is proving to be an excellent signing thus far. Also, why is Tatarusanu still playing for us? He has the same reactivity as I do after I have had 5 beers.

The AM is desperately needed and it is even more glaring when Bennacer isn't there either. We can't create through the middle. Obviously we had a handicap yesterday with playing Tonali and Krunic(FFS) in the double pivot and this won't be our regular starting duo. But this just highlights the issues we have once you have to look beyond Kessie and Benna. Tonali has looked much better this pre-season, but still we cannot rely on just him being the substitute for both. Especially if we have a similar injury record as last season, not to mention the AFCON...

This Adli kid looks like a promising Bennacer sub, but I would still be more at ease if Bakayoko came in for the midfield

Pobega should be loaned out. The kid has potential but it would be a waste to keep him, especially if Pioli plays f@cking Krunic ahead of him. For the life of me I cannot understand his obsession with him. God awful
