He is, but that’s what makes him calmer because he plays to his limitations and doesn’t complicate it - kind of like Gigi did. Woj seems more frenetic with the ball at his feet, as he takes more risks and thinks he can play. We are awful playing out from the back so it feels rather unnecessary.

He is collecting the ball deep inside his own half most of the time and expected to run the length of the pitch like he is Douglas Costa. If we actually played some attacking football, got him the ball in the final third with an attacking full back that is actually a threat to ensure he isn’t...

The sad reality watching yesterday was noting that we literally have only 1 player that has the fitness to play at the top level in Rabbit (I’m talking speed, strength and stamina) and he is the one that’ll leave for something better this summer on a free. I would’ve had Bremer just about in...

Inzaghi schooled Allegri as usual. Nothing new to see here. They pushed and got a goal and then packed men back preventing our only method of scoring with a counter attack.

Truly exhilarating game this. Gameplan: calma, try to stay in the game, hope for a lucky goal from nothing

Whatever it is, it is normally camped 35 yards out from our goal. Normally Dusan stands up front alone with nothing around him but he’s not here today so I expect Chiesa to tire himself out chasing around largely on his own whilst throwing his hands around in the air in usual frustration.

It’s no excuse to field that turd of course, but the logic is De Sciglio offers nothing as a wing back, so it will revert to a 4-4-1-1 out of possession with MDS at RB and Turd at LB.

Protocols do not exist in Italy. It’s a case of make it up as you go along, never accept any blame or admit you did anything wrong for the sake of preserving egos, jobs and inhibiting improvement or growth. If possible say nothing at all and let it all peter out. Invent a law or rule that...

Not surprised he came off with cramp at about 60 odd minutes. Covered a lot of ground and contributed well defensively. Fitness levels naturally aren’t there having not played much this season. He brings something to the team and could continue to be a useful rotation player, that fills a HG spot.

Agreed, it looked like it. Just wanted to confirm that I’m pretty sure it’s only calibrated to work for goals.

I don’t believe it does. It only covers the width between the posts.

He was 2 yards away from the ball and had a clear view. If you need a second look at something two yards from you then you are incompetent at the job you are doing.

I despise Italian football and continually regret the fact I chose to follow a club in this fucked up league.

How Rugani is a professional footballer is still beyond me. That line up is horrid and shows we are prioritising the cups and that’s it. Risky move with the possibility of points penalties still existing.

It’s supposed to be a good day but it feels a bit doom and gloom in here. The points are back for now and we won a tight European game. With the fitness levels of the players we have and the confidence of the forward players, the best we can do is play in short bursts and avoid stretching the...

And then tried to make a foul and couldn’t even do that successfully. It’s been a long time since I’ve despised one of our players as much as him.

It’s why loaning them and letting them make those mistakes elsewhere and seeing if they learn and improve is such a valuable method used by big clubs. Problem with Fagioli is he is 23, had plenty of game time recently and regularly makes errors. He gave the ball away quite a few times today and...

He doesn’t want to be here anymore. Last season he was chasing lost causes, closing down with intent to win it, when he was marked tightly he was irritable and battled against the opponent. He’s lost his edge and in turn has made him into a shell of a player who offers little to nothing.

Glad I watched the game on replay and was able to forward through this shit. Bunch of disgusting passive individuals, from the board to the coach to the players. Same pattern most weeks, pass it around with no purpose or intensity, make sloppy mistakes, only show some urgency when there is...

A combination of factors don’t help our cause. 1. We rarely have an out ball, so when we are pressured it either goes backwards, lumped aimlessly forward or played to Dusan who is usually tightly marked by a CB and his touch has gone to shit so nobody trusts him currently. 2. We pack so many...
