Not overly impressed..

Had enough off of these rookie appointments.. Its too big a gamble .. why not let Pirlo develop as a manager first like most other managers have had to do..

Even Pep & Zidane like others managed the B Teams for a season or 2 first before being handed the 1st team..

What's up with those counters? The fuck was that?

We can't even create a chance from running 4 on 2.

This team lacks so much at this point.

Actually it's bad. Now this shitty feeling is going to last for 2 weeks.
I don't really feel shitty about it, more annoyed. I'm expecting more of that this season but i want to see continuous growth.

However I'm happy we have two weeks to regroup and work on things, even if most of the squad won't be there. Hoping Agnelli really does block the international call ups

We don't have a DM to control the tempo and calm things down.

Every coach makes mistakes but his have a tendency to immediately bite us in the ass.
We don't ever try to play that way. Under Sarri you could see a clear instruction to slow it down and keep the ball. Under Pirlo is seems like there is a clear instruction to move the ball quickly and always go for the killer pass.

We need to find a middle ground. Too often we are losing the ball cheaply and getting opened up.

But Pirlo has been so unlucky, we are talking about chances we have missed by millimetres (offsides, saves, off the post, touches by defenders) that if they had gone our way we would have been out of sight. But I suppose you make your own luck and should not have to rely on that.

His subs nullified any attacking threat we had on the pitch, terrible decisions.

let’s make no mistake though the players fucked this one up, it’s on them. Basic error after error when seeing out a game. We had comfortable possession at 93 mins and should have used game management to kill it dead.

I have no fucking idea what Dybala was doing

We lack that balance since Allegri. He used to talk about that all the time.

This, just frustrating that we couldn't stop a lapse of concentration with 30 seconds to go. But I think we looked a lot better in this game than we have recently. Our midfield is still a bit too disjointed, that's what we need to work on.

Ronaldo had an issue with his ankle and Morata called for the sub

What bad sabs? What the fuck people are talking about? Who knew Paulo decided to shit the bed with no reason at all?
Because what we've seen so far from Berna and Dybala was rather horrible and somehow painful. We gave chances to players who look totally clueless recently. Also, we needed to replace Bent in the second half much earlier imo.
