Genuinely surprised we finally won a big game with a spirited performance.
We actually showed a desire to close down the ball and being aggressive defensively in our own half whilst showing a bit of tenacity. Most this season we’ve sat in a low block and haven’t bothered to even try to defend our half. The midfield didn’t look completely disjointed today and as expected it helps having 3-4 players in the middle who are comfortable on the ball.
There were still a few lapses in concentration and some terrible turnovers in dangerous areas under minimal pressure.
We still also have no attacking game plan, but that comes with the territory under Allegri. The best we can hope for here is for Chiesa, Pogba, Di Maria to come back and rely on their individual brilliance whilst nicking goals on the counter and from crosses.
