Once again 10 yards of space on the edge of the box. Closing down isnt good enough, they've had 5 or 6 shots in that position with space.
My God! Defensive breakdown but that was a killer shot by Davide Faraoni! I don’t think Rui Patrício ever had a chance.…
We are leaking goals if this goes on. We won't be good in big games this season either. We need Mourinho's effect on our defense. This are games I think we need to keep cleansheets.
Awful second half. Created basically nothing, did a terrible job closing down around the box, and made Caprari look like Insigne. Honestly this game could have been much worse Unfortunately this was the worst possible time to play Verona this season.
Think this season going in our focus should be the top four. To get 1st spot, we need to stop leaking this many goals. Our 2 clean sheets are against poor opposition.
A crazy 15 min period with 4 goals but like they were playing in cement in midfield. No protection in the final 3rd today, possibly leggy from Thursday but Verona are a good side and obviously were going to be up for this with a new manager. They're going to get a roasting when th video tape is played back to them. Verona had at least 5 free shots in those dangerous positions. I go back to Zaniolo on the wing and his ability as a bull through the centre is being lost. He is a shadow on the wing of what he can be in the centre.
Embarrassing result against a poor Verona side. One of the worst performances from Veretout I’ve seen. Him and Cristante were completely overrun in the midfield - Verona much more hungrier than us. Of course Caprari scores again against us. They fully deserved the victory. Huge amount of work still to be done. Honeymoon phase is over. Real test begins now to see how the players react to this pathetic result.
Mancini is an average defender. I was saying it all last season, while all you lot were on about how world class he is. That guy will get us no where. And No.... Pelleshit has been the shit for years. Until he has a strong season, no one has been humiliated. Imbecile.
Rui - kept us in the game. Karsdorp - decent game but one awful brainfart could have cost us. Mancini - terrible in both defense and distribution Ibanez - fine. Calafiori - did he get forward once? Miltante & Veretout - practically non existent the pair of them. They were completely dominated. Pellegrini - our best player again which isn't a good thing. Zaniolo - not the player he was so far but hopefully only a time thing with him. Probably wasted on the left as @La Magica points out. Shomu - No, just no. Tammy - bit of a headless chicken tonight. Forgiven.
Same with former players. They always do better against their former clubs. Thus , Gianluca Caprari's goal....
Yes, of course and you thought Alisson and Salah were average players. You lost the respect as a human years ago.
I couldn’t watch the last 20 minutes but it doesn’t look like I missed much. Poor game and a deserved loss. We have to bounce back quickly against Udinese. I’m not sure starting Eldor on the left was the best decision today when SES was fit and in form. But the more important issue is Mancini, who has to be questioned. From the 7 goals we’ve conceded so far this season, his defending was questionable in 5 of them. I don’t mean to scapegoat him but it seems like a good time to start Smalling again.
