Yeah Danilo was top. Loca was a beast too. They all were great.

That Juventus win now sets up United for a glorious win or a massive fall on Sunday. Hopefully the former.

Well done btw. :goalflash: :goalflash:

Might be better off switching Koopmeiners and McKennie.

Despite Yildiz's disallowed goal i feel he's too far from goal out on the left. He has enough skill to turn his marker without a runup. He'd be better as a second striker or in Koopmeiners position, or at least try him there. Koopmeiners would probably benefit from being out wide too.

The ball came off the Venezia arm first so it was a penalty, even if the rule is a bit shit, the TNT co-commentator was antiJuve all night so expected him to cry anyway.

Papers over the cracks though.

I also think it might be better to try Yildiz in the middle, and with Gonzalez coming back it gives more options out wide to do that. There was a lack of creativity in midfield, I think Koopmeiners needs taking out of the team for a bit as he's lacking confidence, and the team really needs atleast one of Locatelli or Fagioli in it, as one of the two, to progress the ball better.

I also feel that they had the wrong attitude tonight and just felt like they need to turn up. This isn't a team that's in a position to do that and get away with it.

I think we need patience, its tough to watch, but at least I can retain the hope that things might get better, which i didn't have last season. The squad changed a lot and we had some very unfortunate injuries... although something is clearly wrong at J Medical

That was much better, the Coppa games were more exciting last season and maybe that's going to be the case this year. I hope Koopmeiners gains confidence from his goal, and I thought Gonzalez did well when he came on and scored a great goal of his own, it's good to have him fit at last.

The team as a whole gained confidence as the game went on though and they need to carry that on into the Monza game.

Good to get four different goal scorers, we'll need them considering Guintoli thinks we only need one striker.
Another time we would've put the B team out.

You can write off Milik this season. He'll take six weeks to get up to match level and will be pulling muscles when he's rushed back too soon. We always rush the players back then wonder why they keep getting injured.

Playing with an actual 10 in the 10 role made all the difference. Who would have thought?

Continue like this Motta. Release the hand brake and let these boys play.

Embarrassing. Monza didn't even get a shot on target against Lecce.

It was a good start but the defence has been poor. Some of it is Mckennie playing out of position, but it isn't just him. Hopefully Motta refocuses them and the 2nd half is better at that end.

Yildiz is such a top class player. His attitude is great as well, fights and chases for everything. The club should switch his and Vlahovic's salaries.

I didn't like the attitude of the team 2nd half, but the win is good and atleast a positive change compared to all the draws of recent weeks.

Much needed win.
Very concerning that we've played 25 competitive games this season and we're still not playing with any coherence.

Huge gaps in the middle of the park when we lose the ball. I don't like it when we play Koop in the 10 role. Why can't we just play a flat 3 man midfield with Koop and Thuram as box to box mezzale? We'd be more solid in the middle and I think Koop and Thuram would be able to alternate getting forward to join the attack.
