It's funny, all of the high-priced names ACM brought in arguably the best one for them today was the one everyone dismissed... Borini played a pretty good game today. Bonucci finding it a little more difficult when he's not surrounded by world class players.
Suso is better than all those guys they bought except Silva... I can't believe he's not playing. Maybe Roma can talk him into pushing for a move in Jan.
Milan Bonucci straight at Allison, Juve Bounucci, goal and his stupid ass face celebration. I like this one.

Dont mistake trying hard for good. He was dog shit in the final third like the Milan attack. He is one level above Iturbe in that he can dribble with the ball up the pitch without falling on his face but once in the final third and pressed he doesn't have an idea what to do. He wont last long on this side, the good players that they have were clearly frustrated with him during the match. Tactically I thought Roma setup well to expose Milans weaknesses. You dont form a team overnight and they exposed that by being happy to sit off them more and let them have build up play knowing when they got into attacking play they have virtually no clue what to do. They did get a couple of chances from half clearances, scrappy phases but this was a very comfortable professional performance from Roma, slow and steady waiting for the chance to come. EDF is showing himself to be very wise.
Manolas was great in defense but those passes in build up play. Man cant be trusted to play a quick switch to a wide open Kolarov. SES was a total lightweight. It was a scrappy game and you need players to fight. Half hearted in defense and offered next to nothing in attack. Had a few laughs at Bonucci and that Turk playing for Milan and his 50 shots a game. He looks extremely average in play. Milan are sitting in 7th place, that should be about right come the end of the season.
Another good game for EDF. We waited them out, and once they started to push up, we took chunks out of them. I would've choked out Çalhanoğlu if I were Montella, even before he got a dumb red. Playing for himself, not even looking to play in the forwards. Milan put a lot of creative responsibilities on a guy who dribbles shots out for a goal kick all day.
Lol yeah he had a couple that he sliced pretty bad. At least he didn't pull a Fazio who almost outdid Gonalons in the WTF passing department.
I know we have to see WAYYYY more of EDF before we start comparing him to Spaletti too much , but I already like him a lot more as a person. He seems like a chill dude. Plus he plays the kids.
There was a couple of slices to him and also a hospital pass that Borini picked up allowing him to race through. Luckily when he run out of space he lost it. Then the most memorable pass was in the direction of Florenzi. He might have been 20 yards ahead of him and he sent it at least 50 yards into the sky. That was probably his pass of the night.
Probably the best I've felt in a long time about this club and team. Edf hasn't complained once about the injury crisis since although we are missing some people, Monchi went out and made a bunch of signing to give him plenty. Spalletti would be bitching so hard right now if he was still here. Also, this team seems to have a special brotherhood like bond.
