Rebic has been so bad. He was quite poor vs Bologna as well. What's happening to him?
He was playing as a striker and trying to play a similar role to Ibra. Plus I think he's struggling a bit to regain his form. Think of it this way, the others already have 4 games under their belt while this is his second game.
Still was decisive when we needed it though which is what I've come to expect from him

Overall, a good half against an opponent that is better than their 4-1 loss to Genoa last week. Horrible pitch and strong wind not helping. Penalty somewhat questionable due to Rebic's near-handball, but the halftime result is deserved.
Tonali doing much better than his first few games. Kier, Gabbia, Calabria, Kessie all solid. The attack is a bit disappointing, Rebic in particular. Perhaps it's because it is not his natural role. Will see if Pioli changes anything at the half.
The terrible pitch is what caused Rebic to go down so awkwardly on his arm. (IMG:

Tonali and Diaz with good showings. That pass to Calabria from Tonali was pure quality.

Terrible second half. Looked like we didn't give two damns. Probably thought to reserve the energies for the EL transfer, but that's not the right mentality.
Team does look tired, like we get exhausted very quickly. Same happened vs Bologna and Bodo as well.
I think we played within ourselves to conserve energy. It's been a really tough start to the season with so many games squeezed in. It can't be easy to jump into the season with so many fixtures. We still played a very good first 50 minutes or so and got the 3 points, which is all that matters. And even when we took our foot off the pedal after the 2nd goal, I didn't for once think we would concede
The Rebic injury is a big blow. Hopefully we close the Hauge deal this week
