I watched. First half we were pretty good, in the second we switched off and were all over the place. Then after the equaliser we managed to get the game back in our fist.

Anyway, that's 5 wins in the last 5 games between Serie A and Coppa. If you ask me that's pretty incredible considering where we were only a month ago.

Next up Verona at home and then the derby. We need to win at all cost vs Verona to go into the derby fully charged.

This upturn in fortune coincides with my return (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I don't think he was hooked, he was getting leggy there at the end after running so much from the start

Piatek just looks like a shadow of the player we had last season. He was so sharp last year. I really wonder what happened to kill all of that for him.

Ibra, imo is doing exactly what we need him to do, he holds up play and brings in the other attackers into the game, he gives us an added dimension in attack which we didn't have before. Anything above that is a bonus imo


Ohh, So the IZBack campaign has been referring to you all along (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


Btw, big shout out to Hakan, who turned the game on its head when he came on. This guy is so infuriating because he's so inconsistent. The fact that we never found a position that really suits him also doesn't help though. He looked very good yesterday roaming the center areas and pulling wide

Some transfer news: Suso is gone to Seville on an 18 month loan with option to buy at 27m (If I'm not mistaken) which will become mandatory if they make the CL

Honestly, don't really know how to feel about this.

He's been having a terrible season, but he's been one of our very few shining lights through these very dark last few years. Did he deserve to get the boot after just a few bad months? Not so sure...

Add to that this is not a sure thing, if Seville don't qualify we're right back to square one with a player who's value has probably plummeted in those 18 months. Not to mention that we have no replacement for him, Samu imo has been doing well, but surely we don't intend to play the rest of the season with him as our starter...

Dude, are you serious? You and everyone else have been bashing Suso like the plague, and now that he's gone you're not sure about it? Give me a break, will ya.

I've always rated Suso and I still do. I would have kept him, but perhaps it was time for both parties to part ways as things weren't exactly working anymore.

If we also sold Piatek..that means a significant amount of money that we will cash in..Caldara, Suso and Piatek..

Hope we spend it wisely..

He's as good as sold to Hertha. 27M.

Come again? Suso and Caldara are on 18 months loans. What significant amount are you talking about?

Oh well..yes that is true. Excuse me..

At least we managed to sell Piatek. I hope we are getting replacements, or there is a plan in place..

We only got Saelemaekers and Laxalt. Terrible signings.

Looks like we were very close to a Bernardeschi-Paqueta swap, but Gazidis stopped everything.

I don't really rate Bernardeschi that much, but at this moment we could have used him.

I appreciate the change in fortune with such a good run as of late, due in most part by the influence Ibra is having on the squad.

The next match against Verona is no walkover, the are only 2 points behind Milan with 1 less match played than Milan. So I expect a tough fixture here. Then next up is inter, who I do not see Milan taking more than a point if Milan were successful.

Ibra not available for tomorrow due to flu. Krunic as well. Bennacer is disqualified.

This will be a tough one.

It's Verona. We should win nonetheless.
