Btw. anyone noticed Montella's styling? I think it's the first time he had a blazer without the club crest. Is this because of our transition from D-G to Diesel?
Yeah, there's a crest but it's small, I don't think it's a pin though
And yeah, Diesel have given the team a more casual look. The good thing here though is that Diesel appeal to a larger demographic, mostly because they're aimed towards more age groups but also because they're not as expensive as D&G.

I missed the game, so I watched it last night.
I think that until Kucka cracked the result Chievo was doing much better than us. Our pass distribution was poor and if Niang is not there to make some runs and dribbles for us then we would be screwed - just like we were against Sassuolo till he came in.
We are still a team that base on counter attacking which bothers me because I think we should take the stand against teams with less quality and hold the ball a little more.
I noticed that when we start the game, we tend to play with a 3-4-3 formation, which is nice considering that De Sciglio is not helping that much in the front and we have both Bonaventura and Niang who are doing a good job in the left. This would work even better if Abate had better games and connected better with Suso.
We should really work on our passing and possesion and also play a wider games with more crossings, since all the crosses that we made produced good scoring chances. We are doing well in counter attacking which might come handy against Juventus.
From what I have seen even though he didnt play much, Sosa doesnt offer as much as we think. At least with Locatelli we know that we will win some headers and also we can make a difficult job for the opposide side to make thake game in the middle. In my opinion we could have used Bertolacci in this situations, since I think that Kucka should play in the middle where he could offer defensive and offensive advantages while Bertolacci could help with his passing - even though he still didnt prove he can do it in our team.
I agree on most of this
Regarding Sosa, I agree that he wasn't impressive when he came on against Cheivo, but I think that mostly has to do with the fact that he's barely had any playing time this season, so he's bound to be rusty

Juventus topic?
Probable Xl vs. Juve (4-3-3)
Donnarumma; Abate, Paletta, Romagnoli, De Sciglio; Kucka, Locatelli, Bonaventura; Suso, Bacca, Niang.

Will do
