I know I'm reserving him the Muntari treatment, but I have no words to describe how utterly crap Montolivo has become. Screw the fact that he's the captain, he doesn't deserve to play!
Yeah, he's been bad
I don't want to say but, but I will say however
However, the fact that when we have the ball there is absolutely no movement is part of the reason why he looks extra , super horrible atm. On top of his seriously awful form, his main asset which is to launch passes is just completely useless when you have players at a complete stand still
There was an incident just a few minutes before HT where De Jong had the ball and had absolutely no one to pass it to. Everyone was simply standing there imitating statues. So he lumped it in the general direction of an also non-moving Bonera. What happened? We lost the ball and Chievo countered.
I don't think Monto was worse than either Poli or De Jong, but again, it's the issue of expecting him to produce something and he's simply not delivering.
But a part of that is the fact that we just have no movement, no drive behind our plays. Monto is also guilty of it when he's not the one on the ball as well mind you, I'm not saying he's not also a culprit in this like everyone else.
I do really wish to see Monto taken off with Bona moving back and Cerci coming on. Menez has also been useless today.
Destro I feel is the only one who's showing any type of spirit and motivation today, the others are all just flat
