five creative midfielders are too many though. those five should be enough to generate more creative movement and action on ball. but yeah the team missed Brozovic whom can act as a metronome in attack and defense.Of course not.
Nah, he'd definitely be playing.Lets be honest, Samardzic would be getting less playing time than Asllani... Inzaghi wants the players to play in a certain way, thats why Vidal said they are all like robots, which is true.
When I think of robotic players - I think of Vidal's best pal 'Conte'. I still have nightmares on how he treated Eriksen.Lets be honest, Samardzic would be getting less playing time than Asllani...

You gotta love fif from being one of the best teams in europe to being a shit side without depth within 2 games....
While we were not great yesterday if we replay that game we win it 9 out of 10 times...
We created a lot where we were a inch short of scoring which i put down to luck...
It s called a season... We just had one of our best starts to serie a we ve ever had if thats inconsistency then i gladly take it....That’s how inconsistent we are, one game we play like we can beat anyone the following we play like a mid table to relegation battle team… nothing new under the sun, it’s in our DNA it seems.
Our problem is mentally as well as we are overly reliant on physical form. There is a reason we lost almost 1/3 of all serie a games last season.
We lack one more of the sort of players that can be difference when we aren’t in form, currently we are over reliant on Martinez and again this means we run him exhausted.
Mhh somehow i only remember acerbi being up front with the strikers...I don’t know if I’ve missed this discussion, but can people figure out the rationale around the Bastoni - De Vrij sub?
Taking one of our best football players out and moving Acerbi at LCB seems so dumb

We had such games in our fucken treble season and i d argue that every team has those strechs with a few exceptions where one team just has a monster season (napoli last season)
Can we wait till we clearly see a trend before we start with this shit..
Also everyody who calls for inzaghis head please kindly go get fucked
We were lucky we didn't lose to Real Sociedad, but I don't see how we were lucky to beat Empoli. Did Empoli even threaten our goal once in that game? We weren't at our best against Empoli but reading the forum you would think Empoli was dominating us and missing chances left and right. We dominated them, created a few chances (less than usual) and scored a world class goal. Empoli defended deep and pretty much did not create a single chance. It wasn't our best performance but I don't see much of an argument for Empoli showing enough that match to deserve a point.If it was just one game, it wasn’t it was 3, we where lucky it was not just one point in those 3 games because it was more in line with the actual performance or rather the lack of it.
Also I don’t think anyone called for Inzaghi’s head.
So by your logic, our whole scudetto season 2021 was based on pure luck cause if I remember correctly most of our wins that season were like against Empoli.If it was just one game, it wasn’t it was 3, we where lucky it was not just one point in those 3 games because it was more in line with the actual performance or rather the lack of it.
Also I don’t think anyone called for Inzaghi’s head.
This. We play this Sassuolo match 10 times, we probably win AT LEAST half of them, draw few, lose even fewer. For some people result speaks everything (Sassuolo) until it doesn't fit to the narrative (Sociedad, Empoli).We didn't play flashy, but even against Sassuolo we could have won, if we scored 1 or 2 of our other chances created in the first half. We were too wasteful, and we were punished for that.
Agree for the most part, the "subs" for the front line are utter crap. Unfortunately Asllani isn't any good or he wasn't developed properly. As for Dimarco and Barella if they are off the boil, it appears now more frequently, Augusto, may grow so there's hope there. Barella's replacement is Frattesi who may turn out ok. It's the attack.Wait, there's people who thought our bench is good???
We have Frattesi and a few handymen at the back (Darmian, Carlos Augusto + De Vrij/Acerbi)
Anything else is below standards...
The moment either forward isn't playing, we're screwed.
The moment Hakan is out physically or mentally, we're screwed.
The moment Dimarco and/or Barella are out, we're screwed.
