i for one liked the starting lineup. a comfortable win is the best preparation before an important battle, and it certainly was an easy match, cremonese belongs to serie b. fagioli was their best player when they earned promotion, and now they missed a similar type of player very badly, they were lightweight and lacked ideas. like jj against most decent teams lol
paredes was a pleasant surprise, probably our man of the match, even though bremer and fagioli are good candidates too. plenty of vertical passes, i wish loca could do those
chiriches deserves an other praise, he saved them from a much heavier defeat. a good example of a guy with experience, he was everywhere, i bet he ended up collecting at least 10 blocks + interceptions + tackles which is excellent. won most of his duels too. one of the best individual defensive performances against jj in recent memory
our strikers though, fucking hell. 3 completely broken boys, zero confidence, zero urgency, zero creativity, incredible how bad they were against a team with one good player (and a good goalie)
