Medhi Benatia (33 Viewers)

[Hust]

We're playing most our games in second gear too. No point in winning 6-0 against Benevento and then losing your best player due to fatigue. Cough cough insigne cough.

Which is one of the reasons you see many players scoring for us instead of only 1-3 key players

No clear attacking plan. Yet we find ourselves top of the goal-scoring charts. Where has this BS come from about us not having a clear attacking plan? It’s pure nonsense. If anything we’ve been poor finishers even though we lead the scoring charts. We could have had even more goals - case in point the Inter game, where we were utterly wasteful.

The goals scored hide the fact that we are lacking a lot when it comes to fluidity and movement in attack. Serie A might be hiding this due to a couple of big wins against nothing teams, but it's very apparent in UCL where we rank 22nd in goals scored this season. Even the likes of Besiktas, Basel, Napoli, have scored more, and we're well behind all the top UCL teams (PSG and Liverpool have scored over 20 goals). It's against teams in this top tier competition, and in the competition that we really want, where our attacking frailties are bare for all to see. Let's not satisfy ourselves with a false sense of attacking security in Serie A.

Yeah, I don't get it either lol. Till late, defense was an issue. Attack hasn't been a problem this season with Inter game being one of the few exceptions. Goals dried up just slightly lately b/c we've been focused on shoring up defensively, but we're still scoring and, most importantly, winning games.

Moroccan Malaise more like the Moroccan Malice (in a positive way, he is malice for the other teams)

His celebration is a copy of Batistuta's

I need to watch his goal against Roma in slow motion. His two reactions were too taylor swift.

Moroccan Malaise

 

[X Æ A-12]

Loved his goal and absolutely loved how he aggressively celebrated against his former team

 

[Gian]

That giveaway at the end was a schick joke. He sure must be happy we have Wojech in goal

 

[zizinho]

stop jinxing him already you bunch of morons

 

[X Æ A-12]

Yea that giveaway was terrible. Almost undid the fact that he otherwise had a great game

 

[juve123]

Benatia great game but his mistake nearly cost us a goal

 

[MikeM]

I have to give Chiellini some blame for that mistake as well. Such a contrast in styles there. Benatia wants to play the keeper and Chiellini wants to smash it into orbit. Hopefully they sort that out.

 

[Boksic]

Superb game apart from the awful mistake at the end. I remember him getting a few goals for Roma & Udinese, hopefully he can do the same for us.
