Nainggolan is like a gaping hole. Even though he didn't score much last year he was a boss in the midfield that we surely are missing.
Like last year against their neighbours at home, we wernt ready to face a seasoned team on match day 1. Lots of work to do but i dont think people need to be losing all hope in the season.
Asensio attempting no Look finishes from 6 years out. They don’t take us seriously at all. Completely embarrassing.

Olsen is like, 20th in the list of problems we have. The midfield is where 90% of where our problems stem from. Remove DDR and it’s basically Sassuolo tier.
True, instead of nitpicking players and placing the blame on the players individually we should look at it differently. We have the players that can perform better than what is shown. I feel there is a problem either in the dressing room or tactics. Or even both.
Are you even watching the game? His passing has been just fine, good even in the 2nd half. You’re speaking like he is an amateur just because he’s not balling like Neuer out there. Clueless.
You leave out the biggest possibility. New players taking time to adapt. It takes months to get a team gping smoothly. The talent is here and by Christmas we can take your other possibilities seriously and make big calls if still necessary..
Yes, 3-0 is a complete humiliation. I wonder what it would have been if it wasn't for that amateur from the Danish league. Don't know what you guys expected from this match. It was by far the match which was most likely a loss for us. We looked a bit timid going forward, which is probably the only thing I didn't like. 2/3 of Real's goals would be very difficult to prevent for most teams. The important thing is to collect the points against Plzen and CSKA.
Did the amateur from the Danish league buy you are birthday present or something ? What is your issue with it. He is an AVERAGE keeper, nothing more and less. We went from Alisson to him - he has proven till now, he is at best average. Of course he is not Alisson`s level, no one is saying he needs to be, he however; is a problem like many in the team - but people like you are making him out to be some hero. He is a very AVERAGE player in a very AVERAGE squad. I think you should start your own personal fan club for the Great One.
Yes but looking at tonight's match the new players were Nzonzi, Olsen and Zaniolo. I won't take Olsen into consideration because goalkeepers have minimal impact on how the team perform. So we are left with Nzonzi and Zaniolo (who was replaced by L.Pel) So most of the game we played with the older players. The team looked uninterested and unfocused. They also looked lost and caught out of position multiple times. The defense and the forwards don't need to gel.
If EDF makes it until the end of this season and we reach top four in Serie A. IMO, right now that'd be like a very impressive achievement.
I can't believe we are even having this discussion. Maybe you should go back and watch some of our games last year and see why we had no problems playing from the back with the same exact backline. Some of you are very emotional about this, I thought we learned already that a GK job is not just jumping after shots. That said, he had a good 2nd half. The times he played well under pressure lead to good chances on the other side, we need him to play like this 100% of the time not 20%. Him being rooted to his line is a MASSIVE tactical problem for the team. We play with a high line and our game is based on pressing, we can't afford to have the GK rooted to his line and leaving 40M gap between him and the defenders. Last year Alisson averaged 1 successful run out per match, that is at least 30-40 extremely dangerous potential chances cleared before they even happen. Olsen had 1 successful run out so far in 5 games, there were at least 2-3 goals that could have been prevented this year if he was more aggressive at coming out. He is not the only problem for the team, far from it, and I'm not even trying to single him out. I'm responding to you and others attacking me for stating what is extremely obvious. Go back and watch the Atalanta 1st half if you have any doubts.
Roma weren't humiliated. Only someone who didn't watch the game would say that. I thought the team played ok. Our final third play was poor, obviously. We missed a lot of chances. Madrid's goals were outstanding. No crap goals, just what you would expect from world class players.
