Preseason 2024

[Il Drago]

Back of the jersey annoys me even more than performance

 

[YoramG]

Mkhi 90+ minutes

 

[crzdcolombian]

so Martinez a bigger waste of money than Salcedo? Feel like we got hustled into buying a 26 year old Radu

 

[DARi0]

Sounds like delicious banter to me.

At this point, we can talk about willful neglect in terms of keeping some of these so-called strikers as our options even in friendlies against pisa. Not one of them should be at the club next season, and they are the main reason why we struggled this evening.

Don't forget the reports saying he was Inzaghi's tactical choice.

- Barella still awkward as regista, misplaced a number of passes, the weight of the ball and the accuracy are just slightly off. Although h e made nice move like the rabona, the back heel and the nice crossing into the box for Carlos, though.
- Our forward play isn't enough, Fratessi is more threatening near the box. Mkhi as forward doesn't seems to work.
- We are awful especially in the first half, good thing its just friendly, and some player just joined in and they may just need some match fitness. Good thing we also avoid injury here, although there is close for Arna and Dimarco. There is still time to get rhythm back.

 

[Interis7a]

in general, we have 2,5 normal forwards. One of them can go out for a month or two, another of them can get injured anytime. Correa and arna aren’t football players. It’s not good.

So... Lukaku or Icardi?

I see why we are shopping for LCB, seems like the plan is moving Bastoni to mid if needed.

 

[Dave54]

Heh, I had no idea Bisseck scored at the end.

Whose plan is that? Bastoni is in the right place. We need an extra LCB to cover him if he gets injured or sick.

given how Simone rarely plays anyone out of their position, seeing Bastoni plays in the middle in pre-season, gives me though, but I understand the official reason of Tajon Buchanan got injured Carlos has to cover the LB position more, hence no backup for Bastoni; but isn't this the case last season before we bought Tajon Buchanan? I guess we won't be seeing Acerbi on LCB as much this season.

I think we cannot find any player better than Bastoni on LCB, but we are not shopping for any CCB.

 

[Dave54]

There are 6 mids to cover 3 positions. TB was never a consistent starter. Acrerbi was never LCB

 

[Il Drago]

So Arnautovic and Zielinski are out for Genoa and doubtful for Lecce.

 

[DARi0]

Not so fast - we all know Arnautovic is going to play against Genoa one way or another

Scarpini official highlights:

Welcome

What happened to Zielinski?

 

[vex]

What happened to Zielinski?

Muscle strain, consequence of really hard training, that's all. These are his first days under inzaghi, and he needs time to acclimatize, just like taremi. He gave an interview recently where he said he never trained harder in his life than in these last couple of weeks. Must have been a huge step-up in terms of preparation from whatever he had in naples.

 

[Dave54]

well, speedy recovery then. Any news on Taremi to start against Genoa?
