Brozovic looking out of place, clearly not his role.

Carpi actually had better chances Laughing

Kondogbia is lazy... Not surprising they play 11 men behind the ball and go for counters after that opening game.

by Robespierre Sun Aug 30, 2015 8:48 pm

Our 1st half was scrub tbh , we must make better if we want to conclude the match with a victory, already risked to concede the goals twice

Not surprised about Carpi attitude, I followed Castori Carpi manager for years, he parks the bus even for normal matches, let alone against the big teams.
One of most cateacciaro Italian managers ,,,

well, shit.

by zizzle Sun Aug 30, 2015 9:37 pm

Haha another undeserved victory

by Robespierre Sun Aug 30, 2015 9:44 pm

It was deserved against Atalanta :coffee:

Good, we 're not in top condition so it's important just getting points now

Now a last day of mercato. I hope to sign Eder, today double against Napoli .. it would be a real upgrande compared with this finished Palacio

by Vibe Sun Aug 30, 2015 9:46 pm

Wow, Kondogbia plain garbage. Arrogance high, work rate low. Should be the other way around, would bench him so hard.

Midfield as a whole was nonexistent. Guarin was shit despite having 2 moments that won us the game and Brozovic just doesn't belong up there, terrible decision making.

Palacio looked tired from the start, seemed like he played another game just before this one. Jovetic is truly a top player, the difference maker.

We need a new LB for sure, Juan is doing as well as he can but he's a fish in the dry. Defending too conservatively in fear he get's overrun and offers nothing but presence offensively.

All in all, a bad showing.

by zizzle Sun Aug 30, 2015 9:55 pm

Yea Kondogbia is one shitty signing, especially seeing how expensive he is. Hopefully we can mask his weaknesses and maintain his value by having a good season. I didnt think ill ever say this but we need Melo ffs.

by Vibe Sun Aug 30, 2015 9:58 pm

One contrast compared to previous years, we are capable of finishing off games.

We could never clinch a late winner, and an equalizer from the other team would usually mean a draw or a loss. Finally getting that winner mentality, perhaps.

Mancini testing Medel at the back apparently... I can see him on the side in a 3 man backline, but in a CB partnership? Doubtful...

by Robespierre Fri Sep 11, 2015 7:46 pm

lol pls Mancini
stop shocking experiments for the derby
I still remind Kovacic as winger Laughing

Juan Jesus :bow:

Feels like his boss performances from his first full season... After he changed his style his performances dropped, this is the aggressive Jesus I remember.

Jovetic is truly a top player. Melo also putting in good effort... Others nothing special. Murillo passing to Adriano too often... WTF is he thinking.

Great save from Handa on Adriano, unfortunately Lopez returned the favor to Icardi.

by zizzle Sun Sep 13, 2015 10:12 pm

I really like Telles from what we've seen today, Murillo also made some decent tackles. Kondogbia in the 2nd half was BOSS, and Jovetic is head and shoulders above everybody.

by Robespierre Sun Sep 13, 2015 10:15 pm

Felipe Melo was great too , MOTM according Sky

RG

Melo was great tonight, but he was always one tackle away from a red card and he stressed the hell out of me

Too harsh on Kondogbia, he had a good 2nd half

by Chainsaw Mon Sep 14, 2015 9:17 am

Good game from both sides. Happy with this winning streak but we need to improve and so does Icardi. He was disappointing last night.

^ Icardi is always a killer against Juve but he struggles against Milan ... weird
Anyway imo on Guarin's goal he makes a great movement decisive to open the chance for Guarin

zizzle wrote:Too harsh on Kondogbia, he had a good 2nd half

Kondogbia is the only player for the Italian press who his performances must be rated based on price of this summer..just looking his judgement ... " ok , but 35 mln " ... This reasoning never is valid for Romagnoli or others

That midfield trio always makes me laugh lmao.

Mancini in a nutshell Proud

by urbaNRoots Fri Sep 18, 2015 8:15 pm

Did Jovetic already get injured?

by Robespierre Fri Sep 18, 2015 9:07 pm

Very very tough match.
Chievo under Maran is one of most organized team of the whole Serie A , and they are really die-hard.
It was so last year, and they began greatly this year. 1-3 at Empoli , 4-0 against Lazio ! , and 1-1 at Juve Stadium where they were close to win it.
Tough.

urbaNRoots wrote:Did Jovetic already get injured?

No , it is because of turnover.
Ljajic looks like in a good form in training camp and Mancini wants to manage Jovetic in the best possible way.
He played even 180 minutes with Montenegro ... he is probably our best player but the choose to give him a rest of day is legit for me , considering also Ljajic deserves a chance

by urbaNRoots Fri Sep 18, 2015 9:41 pm

Seems a weird time to rest him now though away from home against in form Chievo.

Hopefully Icardi gets back in the score sheet for this one so Jovetic won't be missed too much.
