At this stage we’re confused on what his position actually is. He played three different positions all in one game last night from what I saw.

Numerous players have looked great against us, don’t let performances against our bagel team fool you. So careless in possession at the back. Only looked like getting something once we realised we are incapable of passing out under pressure and started to knock it long to get out and just play...

The ultimate bagel midfield. Boga is going to run rings in that gaping hole. At least if we lose today it can kill any minuscule hope we had of top 4

Have you not seen the growth of Chiellini and Buffon playing possession football and continuing to pass out under pressure? It is never too late to continue developing your game to allow the team to play a brand of modern football.

Calma, it is a 3 year project.

He wasn’t given a proper pre-season and it is a 3 year project. The complexity of the hybrid formation and possession style football means we wouldn’t see progress until the 3rd season at least combined with 2 full pre-seasons.

He gets ignored because as average as he has been, the other 4 cm’s are even worse.

They played decent football with a game plan that involves some intricate first touch play in tight areas and pressed well. Compared to the filth we have played all season I don’t understand how any juve fan has the audacity to call that playing ‘shit’.

First meeting, Theo is pinned back because he is worried of the threat from Chiesa. Second meeting. Pirlo plays McKennie on the right to offer no threat and ask Theo to bomb forward. One has to act if he is fucking up this bad intentionally.

Genuinely wondering what the floor for this team is. We could find out in these remaining games or it could continue spiralling next year.

It’s like changing strategy; selling a bunch of experienced players who understand the game, replacing them with young players with potential with no experience at the highest level needing some guidance but being given a manager who himself has no experience or knowledge on how to coach a team...

Okaka owned everyone in our team who went near him to the point in the final 15 minutes no one even tried to challenge him when the ball went aerially in his direction.

For a guy who has won 5 CL’s, look at how he was sprinting to close down in the final 10 minutes as if it was a CL final whilst the rest of the team looked leggy, mentally drained and satisfied with the few scudetti in their cabinet. Just an elite mentality that has ceased to exist in the modern...

I understand Rabiot has been average this year, but even an average Rabiot is better than any central midfielder we currently have. Especially when they are forced to play in Pirlo’s 2 man midfield obsession.

Glad I’ve missed the first half, couldn’t stomach listening to commentary in the car. Questioning whether or not to ruin the remainder of my weekend by watching the second half.

The dynamic duo of Bentarthur in front of Chiellini and Bonucci. Can’t wait!

I imagine a lot will depend on who the incoming manager is. Someone like Gasp who is happy to defend high and go man for man he would have a clear role. A manager obsessed with playing out from the back like mr thesis, he becomes a bit of a liability and may be sold.

Got a free pass full season crash course thrown in at the deep end in a highly pressured job at the biggest club in Italy. Best way to learn from a selfish standpoint so he’s only coming out with positives. If he joined a mid-table club he would’ve been shipped out in less than 10 games.

I can only think of the first game against Chievo where he played as a 9 for us and it’s never been tried again (understandably). The switch from playing Mandzukic out on the left instead of CR7 has been too drastic and it can be argued that we haven’t looked anywhere near as cohesive as a unit...

They may have if he was here this season instead of Pirlo. Having a season as bad as this, without any growth or development in the team means that Gasp wouldn’t be given a proper 1 to 2 years of transition that his footballing concepts would require. We have just wasted a year, given others a...
