HT report-
Well, we should consider ourselves fortunate to be only 1-0 down. Milan have dominated us for most of the game. WE were supposed to be taking advantage of their lack of width, yet they are constantly taking advantage of our lack of width at the back.
I always prefer to play our best players in their best position. Lichsteiner is a natural RB, who loves to maraud, but mainly he owns the RB zone. Yet we are deploying him more as a right winger, than even a right wingback.
Esti does OK, but lacks quality and any defensive zeal.
Marchisio has found it very hard to get involved, continuing his shady form of recent times.
the highlight of the first half for me was Silva's yellow card. their best defensive player will have to be more careful in the 2nd half, but then again, we have been so lacking bite in attack that he has nothing to worry about presently.
we already have the players on the field to go 4-3-3.
Lich Barzagli, Bonucci Chiellini
Vidal Pirlo Marchisio
Quags Borriello Esti
our midfield is all over the place, the defence is often facing 3-4 milan players coming at them in waves, and the strikers have had zero chances.
possible SUBS...esti for little goblin ( he has intelligence, heart, and works much harder than Vucinic). Borriello for matri...save the last sub for later.
