This day will certainly live long in the memory. I wouldn’t blame the ref as much as the VAR booth. The moment they start showing those stills, they give the average ref little option but to go with them. He didn’t give any of those decisions on the pitch and let a lot go for both sides. Our...

He made a few overlapping runs where Sandro would’ve taken 10 years to get there, and did sprint back on their goal where Sandro would’ve jogged. That’s not a fair comparison, his quality is lacking in when he’s in attacking positions but that is to be expected.

No the half time changes don’t count as a slot.

I did say if !

Surely the more reason to make a half time switch as he can only make one allotted switch in the second half - ie 3 subs all in one go and he’ll have to wait until late to do it in case anyone else pulls up after that?

Largely controlled the game despite two injuries disrupting the side in the opening 10 minutes. Cambiaso had useful lazy attitude and couldn’t be bothered to track his man and it’s cost us. They’re clearly a threat on the break so we’re playing into their hands now if we commit men forward.

A guy with a history of injuries with some of those being knee injuries was bought and had more knee injuries during his time here, nothing to see here. Sadly we are stuck with this bum for another 20 months.

Then they ended up accepting it in a round about way with a free loan of Iling Jr.

It exists in Italy because the ‘top’ teams often do not have the quality or attacking approach to break them down, so it’s a more fruitful tactic than it would otherwise be in other leagues in my opinion. Makes logical sense to stay in the game and try to nick something in bigger games, so...

Created the only real opening in the entire game that wasn’t a counter attack when he spun his man, ran at the back line and laid the ball off the Koop, who skied it. Yes he’s a bit lazy defensively and doesn’t inspire confidence when defending 1 v 1 to the point Yildiz has had to always track...

I think it’s fair to conclude that Motta doesn’t trust anyone other than Locatelli to play that anchor role in midfield, so I didn’t fancy him making any change there today. We haven’t had an attacking plan in the final third for many years now, so it’s nothing new. Sadly with this new...

I’m all for sterile possession to control a game, but it doesn’t make sense to do it all game when it’s 0-0 and you’re at home.

Mom’s spaghetti.

The lack of urgency in the last 20 minutes was quite odd. I saw Koopmeiners sprint to take the corner in stoppage time and the fact that stood out said a lot.

I think we can finally conclude that this deal was a bust. Hopefully we don’t compound it and fudge the amortization by offering him a new deal, and we just let his contract run out in 2026. Maybe being super optimistic he does ok and Porto knock 1-2 million off the Conceicao price.

Shouldn’t be all doom and gloom. Gameplan remained largely the same, just happened that the starting 11 this time lacked quality and weren’t given as many open spaces to run into as the previous two games given Roma were very disciplined defensively. Then following the changes the quality...

Yep. Hasn’t been bad by any means, fashioned some opening, turnovers and decent breaks that have just been let down by a lack of quality.

It’s not. I simply stated when the rumours were present at the start of the window that there’s no smoke without fire and there was a good chance he’d leave, to be told by this new guy on tuz that it must be my first experience of a transfer window and to not listen to rumours and papers etc...

Where is that experienced transfer market expert RKid? I hope he fucks off from here with this ungrateful overrated crock to that shit city, providing he can pass a medical.

He said in the post game interview with Savona that he definitely didn’t touch it and that it was Savona’s goal, but I guess we’ll see.
