Great by McKennie. I love this kind of set pieces; near post headed down towards far post, far post runners to scramble it in. Disappointing to see that not go in.
In complete control. Good half, only blip was that one counter attack where Buffon made a decent save. I'd look to rest some players during the second half. Ronnie off for Chiesa for starters.

defensively he's got more or less the same grinta, but he usually hit a wall after 70-80 minutes. his ball winning has to improve though, because before this match, both rabiot and bentancur were clearly better than him in tackles + interceptions per 90 minutes, and vidal was on a completely different level than our current players
offensively he's got a similar box presence, but the end product is obviously lacking compared to vidal. let's hope he keeps growing like this. all things considered, he's surprisingly good and consistent for someone so young and coming from a truly terrible team.
Great football. Now I hope Pirlo up his substitution game. Parma can be really dangerous in the counter, even more dangerous than Atalanta in the last match.
