Hey guys, been lurking around this forum for years so I thought I'd finally decide to post during this "crisis" time.
Despite the absolutely bull Football Manager esque goal we conceded, I saw more good than bad during this game. The defense was tight up until the shoddy marking for the goal, and Lemina showed some of his worth. Zaza was absolutely sluggish but he works hard enough to be our 4th striker. I felt bad for dybala, he came on and just rushed things a bit too much, he really should be starting from now on though, especially with Zaza's horrendous touch as an alternative.
Ultimately, what I saw here gives me hope that if we harden up a little bit and return some of our grinta, we'll be able to make a surge at least to 2nd. We can do this not particularly because of our strength, but the relative weakness of our competition. Roma has an extremely solid, gelled team and they couldn't dispatch Samp. While Inter have been edging out games for ages now and it's only a matter of time until one goal isn't enough for them.
We know that on our day, we can beat anyone, thus I reckon we can make a decently deep run in the CL too. Not bad for a 'transition' year.
