Just did d'Arc. I'll also be writing up han for dereliction of duty.

Thanks. No need to do that, I just wanted to post some news regarding the match today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Now that the day is officially over (even in California) ...

Real happy for the win, but I think we got a little lucky. Juve seemed a little lost once Djbala had to drop out, Higuain was not really there, and the consensus is that Juve got robbed of a goal (which would have changed the dynamics of the game). Bottom line, I am under no delusion that we can challenge for the scudetto with this team. OTOH, we played decently, and if we can stay near the top of the table until the Winter break and get a few decent players in the transfer window, I think we have a shot at CL. And, luck or no luck, we beat Juve !!!

As for the criticism for Manuel, please keep in mind that he is still rather young. All considered, I think he did his part, and his goal was truly outstanding. Kudos to Montella for supporting our youth (good to finally see that happen).

Not sure about Locatelli. I admit that when it comes to assessing young midfielders I'll always have some trouble. I don't see much of him other then the two goals and solid defensive work, but we should give him the chance and wait and see if his more confidence and attention will bring up his A-game.

As for Milan, surely, it was a lucky win. But we've been so far from even a lucky win (apart from that Coppa final) against Juventus that I really don't mind. Strong teams (mentally and result-wise) are forged under such games, just remember how Juve stole us points with that phantom goal years ago in their making.

I'm still not convinced Pjanić scored a regular goal. Wasn't Bonucci offside, no? Other then that, we were pretty much even. Juventus were huffing and puffing, but Khedira isn't Pogba to drive the team constantly forward.
