And got clearly fouled multiple times, the ref gave nothing and he didn’t sulk or complain, kept his head and carried on.

Anyone amazed they didn’t give the penalty for the Gatti handball? I don’t think it was, but with Guida in the booth I felt certain he’d force it.

Watched that goal back about 5 times and it gets worse every time. The ball is going out for a goal kick and he’s gently kicked it to the middle of the box, he luckily gets it back and decides to run to the byline and easily gets brushed aside, he then tries to kick him to make a foul and...

Koopmeiners is truly shit. Keep him as far away from the back line as possible. He really adds nothing there. Thick fuck tries to run out with a minute left. What the fuck is he planning to gain. Fuck off back to Bergamo.

Definitely below a pass mark so I would say a 4. Didn’t address the key priority which a confident, proven CB to fill the void now. Got two decent players, but they are on a loan and we are unlikely to be able to afford either in the summer so we are training players for bigger teams than us...

This is fucking bizarre. We sold Huijsen to Bournemouth for 15 million euros so that they could replace Kelly Kapowski who left on a free. Kelly didn’t play for 6 months and we are paying more money than we got for Huijsen (apparently). There’s no way anyone can make sense of this. What a...

I believe he was pushed out because Motta’s philosophy is for no players to accept bench roles. They train to fight for starting shirts. Ru-ru is a well known satisfied back-up which is why he was cast aside as opposed to the fact we started the season with a few options at the back. It’s also...

These ‘dry loans’ show we have no conviction in our decision making and confirm the scattergun approach to fill gaps to get through these 6 months. These aren’t plan A, B or C. It’s just a response to random loan bids until someone bites.

Gets kicked in the back of the head. None of his teammates give a shit. Sums up this group of players. Their spokesman is the back-up goalkeeper, it’s that devoid of personalities or leaders.

Dropping him for 3 games and purchasing a decent CF albeit on loan was always going to kill him mentally with how psychologically fragile he is. I don’t see him recovering now, he’s trying too hard, is irritable, has lost confidence and the footballing basics have deserted him. Even though...

Spent the 60 million on the wrong Atalanta player. They may have sold us Ederson for that price.

Lucky that we get to enjoy being dumped out by Milan or PSV instead of Bayern or Real Madrid?

100 Sideways and backwards passes with no purpose will be the likely cause. It bores the people doing it more than the opposition watching it. Time for Motta to go. His tactics are pointless, because he doesn’t have the ability to motivate this team and do the basics you’d expect such as work...

Because that contravenes the laws of 2-7-2 that requires 7 players down the middle of the pitch, because you know…. Possession is the law.

It’s easier to blame others than look inward at the state he’s left the squad in. We’re down to one CB because he terminated the contract of one and shipped the other two off on loan without a concrete plan. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg.

If Man City offer 65 million then we should chuck them a free loan of Dougie Lulz where they pay his full wages. Can’t get much worse than he’s been and may help us sell him in the summer.

At this point we can conclude that Motta is unable to adapt. We’re 7 months in, and I can’t recall a single occasion where we’ve adapted to what the opposition is doing and take advantage. It’s plan A only, and sadly for us plan A is predictable and easy to play against.

Two teams without much to lose and likely to end up mid table, but a win would have offered a possibility of top 8. Yet neither side looked like they wanted to win it. We looked shit, whilst they were hard-working, they also looked shit technically, and we are the real suckers for wasting 2...

Or at least not fielding them at the same time forcing us into having two lightweight players in the middle of the field unable to sprint.

If Gatti makes that Kolasinac elbow then you know for sure VAR would’ve been in business.
