See how Milan toys with our formation. It's always the same. When we face an opponent who presses us high up the pitch, we look clueless. Our attacks are so predictable and slow we're looking like amateurs against this poor Milan side.
Agreed, Llorente is the perfect outlet when teams Press us. Although Milan have Rami shadowing him around so it's not particularly easy to do. Anything's better than us trying to play out of intense pressure though.
If you ask Conte wether he'd prefer a 0-0 or 5-5 draw he'd pick the 0-0. If you asked almost every other manager still in the Champions League he'd prefer the 5-5. Seedorf was a defender too yet he prefers attacking football
Some of the Milan players might die by minute 70. The idiots ran as if the match lasts only 45 minutes. Ours didn't even run, though, so if Conte kindly asks them to start running, we might score some goals in the last half an hour.
Milan are using a formation and playing how teams commonly play in Europe. They're pressing the shit out of Pirlo and he can't do anything, and Pirlo doesn't have the legs to contribute defensively any more.
I agree with others that this is the reason why we perform poorly in Europe and well in Serie A.
I can assure you I dont stand alone in wanting to have the ball and score tons of goals. Rodgers believe in youth and scoring goals. Conte believe in trophies. I wouldn't win the CL if it was the way Inter did it a few years back. Disgusting football, and people didn't count Inter the best in the world when the lifted the CL.

They will continue running in the coming 15 minutes and we have to suck the pressure in a much more composed manner because if the score they will get more energy.
