    Revenge against Juve B team. Rui suspended. Who will start at RB? The return of the Albanian gangster? Can Malcuit defend against a strong attack? Can Maksi cross the halfway line and help the offense? We'll see.

    Yes. He will get the not ahead of Luperto. Mario Rui is banned.

    I think Malcuit will soon be our starter on the right and in some games Maksimovic. Hope we can sell Hysaj.

    It should have been 3:0 by now, that Mertens' finish is inexplicable, I have seen only a few as bad or worse than that one...

    Centre midfield with Diawara and Rog is the weakness.

    Criticism is good and has its place, but you're overdoing it now. We should have been at least 2-0 after the first 5 minutes of play, now at least 3-0. That should not be criticized so severely. The team as a whole is obviously more than sufficient to beat Sassuolo.

    Why are we allowing Sassuolo so much possession? This is dangerous

    What are you talking about?

    We have less than 40% posession at home. Clearly this is not the roght centre midfield pairing.

    I think Sampdoria aside this has been our weakest performance this season.

    Rog, Diawara, Ounas do very little for game play compared to Hamsik, Allan, Insigne.

    Impressive we are up and had chances but I feel more comfortable if we do subs.

    Also Mertens is still not in form.

    I thought Rog as a destroyer was very good. Need more from Diawara & Zielinski to make the midfield work. Zielinski having a poor game i feel. Kudos to Ounas for actually finishing.

    Sts less possession means 4:0 at home and more possession means 0:4 at home... Possession is not everything. We have created 3 or 4 absolute chances in the beginning of the game, whereas we sts struggle to create 1 when we are in possession. Therefore, the fact that neither Mertens nor Zielinski can score a clear chance is our problem. If we had acted on those chances by scoring right now we could have been eating hot-dogs with the audience...

    Both have game changers on the bench. Should be an interesting 2nd half.

    I agree. That is the bigger problem. They both should have scored.

    But to be a dominant team you need to boas midfield around at home to Sassulo and not let them back into the game and give them confidence.

    and tbf to ancelotti I think he wouldn't try this midfield against better opposition, for sassuolo it'll suffice with donkeys like locatelli playing

    Zielinski is out of position. Rog is doing Allan’s job. But Diawara is nowhere near Hamsik.

    After the big week midweek even changing lineups I figured a letdown.

    Just glad we are playing a team we might beat anyways
