Sick of hearing this type of bs - no it shouldn't have been. We controlled the match but didn't always threaten goal and were shaky on the counters. Our play is predictable and stale.

let's not kid ourselves. our general play was pretty poor. what makes it more shocking is that it was againt a very timid oponenet.
if this was a stronger oponnent the match would have turned much different. happy to see strikers score though, but the general play left a lot to be desired.
vucinic was dreadful

Nothing impressive, the same slow start and wake up when things start going really bad. Luckily for two brilliant individual moments we were able to turn the result in the first half and play a more relaxed game in the second. Even with the more composed play we could have let in a goal and went chasing results again. There is something wrong with the team but I am not able to put a finger on it, positioning and off the ball movement have been sub par, we look so static several times during our matches. Great that Llorente got to play and actually score, let's see how Conte will use this.

Hellas Verona gave it their all, they really battled out there. Our match wasn't perfect, but it was a step-up from the FCK performance and I'm proud that the lads were able to put 3 points in the archives under very difficult circumstances. We should've put the game to bed earlier, though.
Tevez, absolutely fantastic. Thrilled for Nando

Better performance than in Denmark, but with the same poor finishing and unnecessary Arsenal-esque, dilly-dallying with the ball. We need to be more proactive when were that close to our opponents goal. Were always doing one too many pass, and the chance ends up going.
I was happy with Isla's performance in this game. He is slowly but surely getting back to the Isla we saw at Udinese. Encouraging game from him.
Llorente and Tevez though
That's what we have to see week in week out.

I thought it was interesting to see how little we were reliant on Pirlo today. That shows great promise. There might have been a ripple effect of playing Nando as that opened the possibility of playing it quickly to the flanks for crosses, which then made us less reliant on the central lynchpin controlling EVERY play.
Ogbonna, Isla, Tevez, Llorente and Barzagli were really good today.

Poor finishing? We had at least 15 shots from not even inside the box. If you play with Llorente you need crosses, which I didnt see any where as many as aganist FCK
Veery happy for the win ill not lie.
Happy for fer too.
My only complain, we ware wasting toooo MANY chances. I dont know why, but we are getting the bad habit to shoot always straight to the keeper.
We need a little more luck and more effort in that regard.
MOM should be Tevez.. the dude is a must for us now. Unreal workrate.
