Just finished watching the replay and there’s a lot worth praising.
Dimarco was MoTM me for. Him and Bastoni ran rampant on the left. As much as I’m rooting for Gosens to overtake him, Dimarco remains the top choice for now.
The midfield’s still working wonderfully well, and has been ever since the Udinese shitshow. It was interesting seeing Mkhitaryan being given freedom to roam. I wonder if we’ll see more of Miki or Calhanoglu playing as a (semi)trequartista against weaker opponents.
Lautaro was unlucky not to score and Dzeko continues to be a class act. If he had a “Lukaku” last season, and Dzeko wasn’t driven to the ground week-after-week, we may well have won the league.
Anyway, I hope the confidence continues to grow. It’d be wonderful to actually have options again once Lukaku and Brozovic return to full fitness.
