He his fulfilling the potential we saw at 16yo when he broke through. 21 goals this season is great. Its great to watch a striker play with that much confidence. Happy for him.

Dont know what Spalletti thought starting Gatti over Politano. What to say besides terrible first half great second. The stupidity of the second goal shows that mentaly the team are not champions, a lot to work on. Happy for Kean. He looks so much better since he left. Like the player he was...

Danilo and Fagioli left for this

It was well fought on both sides. Unfortunate to lose, Baumann kept them in the game at times, and Germany never stopped pushing. Bastoni was so good at everything all match and yet gives up two headed goals despite being a giant. Its shocking how bad we are at set pieces, same thing lost the...

For what Spalletti wants, yes. Locatelli is better as a pure DM but Rovella offers much more playmaking. Him and Ricci are ahead of Locatelli for Spalletti.

Cambiaso is left off the squad to recover for sunday. Him and Dimarco are huge losses for this. Retegui is replaced by Kean. Donnarumma; Calafiori, Bastoni, Di Lorenzo; Udogie, Tonali, Rovella, Barella, Politano; Raspadori, Kean Its said to be a 352 but it looks like half a 442 too.

Mancini far over Pioli, even if Pioli wom the scudetto recently. Mancini is good at building teams, he had a big hand on building succeses with City, Inter, and Italy.

Would have been great to not sell Fagioli for a coach that we would sack two months later

Has to be sacked after this match right?

The transfer rumors were already confirmed true by his agent Anyway Cambiaso is our best player. We won't get better by selling him, young and italian as well, to go out and get cash to waste on two worse players

On the topic of defender injuries, I always think it's funny that when he arrived journalists asked him about Weah's position and if he was be a wingback like with Allegri. Motta said no, that Weah is a forward. And here we are, with Weah playing his best football yet and a fullback again.

No to Lookman unless he is cheap. He won't replicate his Atalanta form anywhere else and we already have Nico with a similar profile.

Just listened to him and i would guess from the country side near France, Liguria sounds right.

Without a doubt Kean wouldn't score like that for us. That first time shot for the second goal is the result of sky high self confidence

I don't know anything about his history with Chelsea, is he a player they are looking to move or one they want to keep? Hard to get excited about a 21yo CB on a dry loan.

Top strikers do what he did. They have the confidence to take it upon themselves and do something special. Not saying that Dusan is a top striker, but if he wants to be, he needs to do this regularly. It's basically why Morata never was and never will be a top striker, he would have passed...

Top second half, poor first. We still only perform for 45 minutes. In all of the last matches it's been the case, including the Napoli loss. Consistency over 90 minutes must be the next target

The problem is that it's clear that we have no idea what our best XI is, and so Motta must tinker. Of course he should have already sorted out the core of his team by now, so this is mostly on him. Before we find the core, and things click, we will not be consistent. We are still far from that.

Daniel Maldini to Atalanta. I guess they will either not rely much on Zaniolo going forward, or plan to cash in on De Ketelaere in the summer. Maldini has been on a slow but constant upward trajectory, expect him to explode under Gasperini in the advanced role behind the striker.

We definitely needed that. Better to sign Calafiori than most of our summer signings, and it was an extremely obvious signing to make, no hindsight needed. We can complain about Conte's whining while Napoli celebrates a scudetto and we argue about another "year 0" of the project. Motta wasn't a...
