Atalanta and Inter both play today, so I hope our players don't bottle it based on today's results

I think if we win these next 2 games and the two against Bologna and Cagliari we're home and dry for the EL

Does it go without saying Han that this is 'must win'

Well, each game from now till the end of the season is a 'must win' so yes

But on a serious note, Atalanta won while Inter lost. This is a huge opportunity for us to cement our position in 6th place. Also looking forward to next week when we face Crotone while Inter have Napoli, Lazio have Roma and Atalanta have Juve. So if we win this and the Crotone game, we'll not only open up a decent gap between us and Inter, we could also reach Lazio in 5th if they lose to Roma

Zapata is such an idiot!

Danny, the 18 year old saving your boy Zapata

FFS!

Zapata blows. Got beat on that corner by a scrub from Empoli.

Nice one Zapata...

Zapata is having an absolute mare today. The 3rd times he's lost the ball now

Zapata, Zapata, Zapata. The whole team is playing like crap, Han. Only Calabria and Deulofeu seem to be trying.

Zapata has made all the crucial errors that could and have led to goals/goal

And it's not just me mentioning Zapata

True, the performance in general has been listless but mistakes like the ones Zapata keeps making certainly don't help matters

Terrible first half, Montella needs to get them to wake up and quick.

Bring in Bacca please. Can't stand this sorry excuse of a player Lapadula is.

No words for our two center backs. Nightmare pairing.

Lol, and you'd think Bacca would make a difference?

At least Lapa tries

Yes he would. Lapadula is a Serie B player for Christ sake! He's sub-par.

Montella is taking us for a slow ride again with no changes yet...

PENALTY

Now who will take this? I'm afraid...

Misses! FFS!!

Ahhh...

Can't even score from the spot. So toothless today.

Monto coming in. Great...

And Bacca has been better than the Serie B player this season? He's been absolutely terrible, and missed sitters throughout the season. Honestly I don't know what you see in Bacca and this point you have to be one of very few still behind his lazy behind

So many missed penalties this season...

Really terrible pen from Suso, straight down the middle and a soft one at that

If you're going to hit it centrally at least hit it with power FFS

How did that not go in???!!

Man, it looks like it's not going to go our way today

0-2

WTF are they doing?

0-2

Bye Europe.

Was he offside there? The replay showed it at the wrong time

Paletta keeps him on and fails to cover...

First Zapata, now Paletta. Disgracefull defending.

Why isn't Romagnoli playing today?

Nah, thanks to Inter losing and next week's fixtures it's still basically in our hands, all we have to do is hold 6th and losing this won't change that for now

Too early my friend

Meh...

Have no clue. Is he suspended or injured. Because other than that there's no excuse for playing the calamity duo

6th? Does 6th get you in the EL?

We can't even get corners right now...

LAPADULAAAAAA

Oh come on! Sure Bacca isnt modern and he has obvious defaults. But the guy scores goals and has a very good instinct. At the moment he is our only first team option IMO. Lapadula is a solid backup.

LAPADULA! Let's go! Get another one!

Yes. If Juve win the Coppa then 6th place will get the winner's spot. If Lazio win (assuming they keep their European placing) then 6th will still get the winner's spot

And Lapa is a modern striker so that's why I like him?

Styles have nothing to do with this. Bacca's only plus is that he scores goals, otherwise he's an ineffectual ghost who doesn't contribute much of anything to the general play and this season even his only good attribute has eluded him

Add to that he has a terrible attitude problem

If there's anyone not Milan worthy from our striking options, it's definitely not Lapa

We're getting close, but we need to bury our chances!!

Ocampos... Why did we bother with this dud?

So much wasted time...

Yeah, he's terrible.

How did Donna save that

Off the post!!

So unlucky today

Lol, the Empoli players acting like they've never played 90 minutes in their lives

Everyone keeps going down with cramps

We lost against Empoli , at home ...

All th eplayers should be ashamed today
