Calcio Saga 20/21

Atalantas free scoring team against our injury ravaged team God save us

I'll never get tired to watch the action of the 2nd goal

Tonali with a stroll of 70m, interrupted only by a half hearted attempt at a tackle, but sure, his style is like Gattuso's, not Pirlo's


Good job by Donnarumma on the third goal. Who expected Handa to be the much better keeper today?

And naturally, because both Lazio and Napoli dropped points.....we just had to be the nice guys and also drop points as well.

Full credit to Benevento though. They were tough to break down, even playing a man down for the last 30 minutes. It was incredible how disjointed our attacks were.  We came into this sweating a defensive injury crisis, but it was the attackers that let us down today.

Romagnoli looks like a stripper every time he's up against Lukaku. Take this guy off my team ffs.

We are a perfect match, never believe anything else

romagnoli cant play this open game with highline defense with lot of ball and player movement going on. If he has to defend deep he can do ok but this has become a routine for romagnoli to be outdone outsmarted in everyway not just against lukaku but even against anyone.

guess its time to part ways with romagnoli ; ever since he got back into the team at the beginning of the season on 4th serie a game milan has conceded more! goal or more in every game.

gabbia / kjaer looked more solid or even kjaer and tomori. romagnoli is a guaranteed liability in this formation. he even goes onto put theo in tough position by drifting towards left lank... domain where theo needs to operate on while abandoning his own.  

knowing romagnoli would cock this game up i was pinning a lot of hopes on tonali and those front 3 (rebic, hakan, salad) ... and they played only 3 minutes of good football in the entire 90 min

tonali performance has got me concerned very much. cant find better positioning, glues alongside opponent, cant run along with ball, cant run in spaces, not a single key pass into the game ... or any game as far as i remember so far.

that buy option has suddenly looked very expensive waste in our eyes

Its the risk of paying so much for such a young player as Tonali. In the end neither Tonali nor Vidal have been successes this season imo. At least Tonali is almost 15 years younger so it can still be a good outcome for Milan, like Kessie (c).

Our similar bet with Kulusevski looks good so far. Still very raw, but already useful as a 20 year old playing a lot of minutes.

I imagine Milan will be patient with Tonali.

Get Romagnoli out of my fucking team

I wonder if Mancini will call him for Euro 2020

Acerbi , Bonucci, Bastoni, Mancini/Chiellini for me

Doesn't deserve to be called up at the moment. Chiellini gets in if he is fit, as he has been playing excellently since coming back. Bonucci, Acerbi and Bastoni the other 3.

Juventus (4-4-2): Buffon; Danilo, Demiral, De Ligt, Alex Sandro; Chiesa, Bentancur, McKennie, Ramsey; Kulusevski, Ronaldo.

Crotone (4-4-2): Cordaz; Pedro Pereira, Magallan, Golemic, Luperto; Messias, Molina, Vulic, Reca; Ounas, Di Carmine

Almost the only first team 11 we can field. Need to get back to winning.

Damn that was an intense few minutes there. Ronaldo should've scored his hattrick.

Really entertaining 45 minutes of football to watch as a Juve fan. Its only Crotone but it was needed.

Chiesa and Ronaldo are putting on a show.

It was the same pedestrian stuff for the fjrst half hour. After we scored, it became more interesting.

This game could be 8-0

3-0 is VERY flattering to Crotone.

Good to see Fagioli play.

Cant wait for this.

All this editing here makes Pirlo look like a Hollywood star. Maybe this is why we hired him (:

Ronaldo and Pirlo seems like a good 'selling point'. We are too much into marketing as it is nowadays.

Then , based on season , Ogbonna is playing a very relevant season under West Ham United but I suppose he has to overcome hierarchies now

I'm guessing, with Napoli out of EL, Juve-Napoli will be played on March 17

tomorrow Roma - Milan , big match very important for the story of this league BUT TODAY Italy Rugby play for losing yet another game ( the joke of the Italian sport )  at Six Nations at Olimpico
Imagine how the pitch will be tomorrow

The pitch is going to be awful, of course. I hope we don't use that as an excuse if we fail (yet again) to be beat a top side. More likely, we'll use the defensive injury crisis or Dzeko's injury as the excuse.

Or we can just play our game and try to actually beat Milan. That's my preference.

It promises to be entertaining one way or another.

Well I'm worried ( should I support Roma for Scudetto battle tomorrow) for your defence
Smalling, Ibanez, Kumbulla.... out

It means Fazio Cristante Mancini .. Fazio is outrageous.
