Joao is some player and had he not scored that wow goal the thoughts would have been different. Clearly the defence isn't sharp or talking in the same level but I'm not too bothered just yet. We just gotta tuttosport over our dominating possession and the number of chances we created. Costa and Rabiot have been brilliant. Khedira man as much as I want him to go, his still got it and is sharp.

Wat? We created like 1 good chance that half, and scored from outside the box after a deflected ball to Khedira of all people. The rest of these "chances" were half-chances at best.

It's nice to play Atletico in pre-season because they exploit your weaknesses as soon as you present them.

Like this nonsense about MDS being our best option. Hopefully Atletico slapped that idea straight out of our head.

Sandro looking more like his old self getting forward a lot.

Our game play looks go much better and enjoyable to watch, will just take a little more time to gel.

Rabiot is a beast in the midfield.

People shitting on MDL for the goal, it was a spot of pure genius and perfectly played ball

Or De Ligt being better than Bonucci. Hopefully Atletico slapped that idea straight out of our head. :seven:

I think if Allegri got some midfield additions like Rabiot and Ramsey, we would have done a whole lot better. We really look clueless in our build-up play
Oh come on, I was a big Allegri fan but he had the team for 5 years and failed to give us a true footballing identity.

Sarri’s had all the players for a couple of weeks so let’s see where he’s at in a few months. I’m already seeing a far more attractive style of football even if it’s not overly effective yet

I don't see why we have to delude our selves.
We have been utterly horrible, both at defense, trying to control the ball and offense.
Our defense is shaky and sucked two Felix balls (pun intended) from a very bad Atletico which is merely a shadow of last year's monster. Mostly by individuals efforts was enough to penetrate us...
We suck upfront too, just some random runs and crosses, IMO we played worse than we have been playing before the 2 week break.
We used to show some marks of progress, but today we digressed. The Khedira goal was completely random. In that rate we will need many months to start looking like a team...

Are we watching the same match?

I like what I saw so far tbh, even impressed
Totally agreed. Atletico have had what like 7 pre season games already, they have had the same system for years, same coach and we've actually been a better team out there, despite the score.

You guys are pleased with our performance today in comparison to the Juve that drew k-stars and Inter or the Juve that was absent late last season, after we secured the championship?
