QUOTE (X-Offender @ Sep 28 2021, 10:06 PM)  I can't forget Kessie. Cakir was horrible, but Kessie had the knowledge of a second yellow and went on barging like an idiot against the Atletico player. Unacceptable! He made a run of the mill foul Sorry but Kondogbia on a yellow made a similar foul twice and nothing happened. I was furious at Kessie during the moment but now I just want the ref's head because he conditioned this game from the minute he gave that red. An to add insult to injury he gave a pen for a close range handball where the opposing layer touched the ball with his hand first before our player did. Now I'm worried about how this team will recover from this. I'm hoping we can manage to use it to propel us forward, starting next Sunday. But it's such a huge blow to take on for this young side who literally gave everything today and came away with nothing. It's going to be so difficult for us to pick ourselves up and do anything in this group. Even against Porto now I'm worried because today was a demoralising outcome

https://twitter.com/i/status/1442958305500880903Lemar clearly pushing the ball onto Kalulu's hand first. Disgusting to give a pen for that. Even if Lemar hadn't touched it. The ball was too close and Kalulu was not stretching his arm

Pioli's only mistake today was taking off Bennacer. Should have left him in there as he was our only smart out-ball not to mention was putting in the defensive work of 2 men.
I understand he was probably dead on his feet, but the Ballo-Toure and Kalulu subs hurt us more than they helped.
Giroud looks off the pace. Completely different to the player who started the season. We need to get him back in shape ASAP. Same thing happened with Bennacer as well after coming back from covid.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Sep 28 2021, 10:21 PM)  Bro, you're not getting me. Cakir f*cked up, no doubt about it. He was abysmal tonight, abysmal. But Kessie goes and makes two insanely idiotic fouls. The first yellow is beyond stupid, and when you have a yellow so early on be careful goddamnit!!! Don't go make dangerous fouls that can cost you another booking. He didn't even think, because he's not thinking anymore. He just wants to leave. In the stands from now on! Can't stand this mofo anymore. I did not disagree regarding Kessie's stupidity. But I can't overlook the ref now. He came in with an agenda imo. I just cannot look past other calls as well which were terrible. Kessie was an idiot there but this ref for me is the sole reason why we lost today And unfortunately we cannot send Kessie to the stands atm, unless the plan is to run Bennacer and Tonali into the ground and risk serious injuries similar to the ones Bennacer had last season.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Sep 28 2021, 10:24 PM)  Pioli's changes were just horrible. Another factor that handed the victory to Atletico after the ref and Kessie. I wouldn't say horrible. I was someone who called for Giroud in fact, because I thought he'd offer us an outball. But unfortunately that was not the case. When he took off Alexis and Bennacer we just folded imo. Before then we had not even allowed Atletico a shot on target. You can condemn the changes but that is the bench he had to work with. Too bad we left Samu out of the list. He would have done a much better job than Toure imo who was terrible.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Sep 28 2021, 10:26 PM)  Play Krunic. Bakayoko. They will return after the break. I don't want this saboteur in my team anymore. You can't play Krunic in the double pivot against strong sides. Look I agree with you. I want Kessie sitting until his situation is resolved. But unfortunately we cannot do that as of right now. We don't even know when Baka will be back

At least Porto got smashed by Liverpool so they should be nice and demoralized as well for the next game...
Silver linings....
