I'll give an attempt.
First game we played a diamond 442 with giovinco and tevez in front of cheesio, pogba and vidal out wider, central defence ogbonna and bonucci. against milan
Evra and licht made plenty of runs, but didnt create that much danger. Pirlo was doing his usual job. pogba and vidal on the flank was something newer but it didnt do that much. Marchisio did his job distributing the play, but the lack of a striker made us relatively toothless in offence. tevez was not in his best day, and giovinco tried very hard but didnt do anything right.
We did had the majority of the ball, and pressed em back nicely. We conceced when marchisio lost the ball, el sharaawy gave a low cross, evra slipped and lost Honda, Bonucci reacted very slow, and Ogbonna wasnt paying attention eighter. Amateur level defending.
Second game we saw that Romulo has quite some flair into him, but it allways led to something. Mostly dribble and pass, or flick on that actually reached the player. We played a 4-3-something. Alot more forward minded players. We did suffer in recovery, sassuolo had equal opportunities in the midfield, but we were creating more then they did. Pereyra and Romulo were very lively. The two italian kids were decent, nothing more. Pepe was decent aswel. Asamoah was actually pretty damn good on his side, and got applaus from the public 2 or 3 times. Chiellini played on a better level then last season, and covered for quite a bit of marrone mistakes or players skipping past caceres(rb).
overall
Ogbonna, Bonucci, Giovinco were bad.
Evra was decent, but Asamoah made a bigger impression
both games lacked a true striker and the team was clearly hinderd by it. however since we had more creativity in the team in the second game, we had less trouble.
Pereyra and Romulo had surprisingly good games. Plenty of infiltrations, and Pereyra positionned very well for the cutback pass wich led to the goal.
Pereyra>marchisio for AM
We need a central defender
objective enough ?
Celebrating is a hard task.
