For once our forwards are actually making runs in behind with conviction because they realise there is a player who can play an incisive pass in the final third. I’d like to believe Allegri knew that Locatelli would be better served further forward, but he had no trust in Arthur or any one else...

I know it’s spezia, but should it really be a surprise that we actually play coherent composed football with a midfield of Arthur, Locatelli and Cuadrado.

It’s clear we tried to take advantage and offload to Man United and Tottenham but he rejected both offers (understandably).

I would like to believe he’s smart enough to not move to inda. However, it’s not a good look if he’s genuinely had ‘talks’ even if the reasons are clear.

2 undeserved injury time victories over the purple rats. Now for a 0-0 in the return leg and an injury time winner preferably from the penalty spot in the final game of the season for the trifecta.

Tried to find somewhere in Mallorca showing the game and failed so far. Now it’s chucking it down so I’ve stopped in a random Thai place and enjoying following the game on here. Sounds like I’m only missing another shitshow endurance fest.

Seems to have adapted better to being a number 2 this time around. Looks happier and celebrates goals (obviously not as much Storari - but that’s a very high bar!)

Always offered an overlapping run to the winger and centre forward, got in the box. Even if you are limited, if you make that many runs into the box, the opposition is forced to do something and you will get rewards. Currently we have games where our centre forward barely gets into the box let...

I feel it’s obvious what’s happened to our team from coaching standpoint. Allegri was replaced by Sarri because we got bored of winning scudetti playing the same way. Sarri was probably the choice to deliver more expansive, aesthetically pleasing football which would deliver more commercial...

Aside from this, it’s also difficult to be asked to flick a switch and comfortably play as a winger again after being deployed as a full back for so long now. They are vastly different roles in the system we play.

It was a poor performance overall despite the fact we scored 3. The starting position of our back line is always far too deep. The initial press if we ever attempt is pointless as every team can seem to play out of it. I doubt Allegri tells these players to keep taking the safe option on the...

Embodies everything you would want in a player. The hype and excitement was deserved.

Still can’t stand the sight of this guy’s face. A slightly above average goalkeeper that will always make mistakes and smile. Belongs in a mid table club.

The goal we conceded has got to be one of the worst I’ve ever seen us concede.

Low grade lesion of the Soleus. Our club really does specialise in helping our players pick up calf injuries.

To be fair Genoa would be able to press us more effectively and would be able to move the ball far quicker than the turd pace Villareal were moving it from side to side. It almost felt like holding up a mirror to our previous CL performances against Porto and Lyon with the roles reversed.

3 players are culpable of the goal. Locatelli doesn’t apply any pressure on the ball. Rabbit falls asleep and ball watches. De Ligt has a good view of what’s unfolding in front but also ball watches and drifts across to a man who is already marked. It’s one thing to play this kind of football...

People moaned about Matuidi and then saw him replaced with something far worse.

Villareal can get a decent bench of 11 players. We barely reach 8 with 2 keepers and 2 players with a combined 20 mins or so of first team football.

There are many out there that underestimate what coaches do too. One of those is our president who brought in a rookie last year with no previous experience at all.
