First of all I’m glad we finally got a win in their stadium after a decade, albeit a very ugly and unexpected one.
I don’t like being the negative Nancy I’ve been these past few months, but I’m still reluctant to claim we’re back in the Scudetto race. If we’re being totally honest, we sucked big time tonight. We played the same game we’ve been playing since February, which means very little offensive output, a huge disconnection between our midfield and our attackers and crazy blunders from Handa. It’s nice we won big league game for once, but playing like this gives you exactly that- 2 wins in 8 (?) games, which is still fucking abysmal.
It’s great us and Napoli finally put some pressure on Milan, now we gotta pray they drop points. If there’s a point where they’re gonna feel the heat it’s now. Unfortunately they’ve been really fucking consistent, so a W for them is probably still the most realistic outcome. The fact that there's almost no time left to overtake them is a massive disadvantage too. Unless we ace the rest of the season, which I consider highly unlikely, we’re doomed. On a more positive note, we have the easiest remaining schedule of the top 3… yeah, that’s about it.
Hope to see Sanchez or Correa next time, we need to add an element of unpredictability in attack. Both of them got some good acceleration and dribbling in tight spaces. Hopefully we can find some success against Verona.
And Skriniar is a fucking beast, but we already knew that.
