Great to have him back but annoyance and concern now is he already missed an important game and he could test positive again.
But yes apparently tested on Tuesday morning and uefa didn't get the results to us until 5pm on Wednesday. So too late for another test. Fucking cunts. They done the same with gnabry though too

Speaking of Gnabry, we're lucky Serie A protocol isn't as strict as the one of Bundesliga. Despite his negative test, Gnabry is forced to stay isolated till the end of month.

Let's just act like he was unavailable due to booking or a slight injury which happens way more often than a false positive test and move on. It's only one player and it shouldn't be an excuse to fuck up against Mönchengladbach. We've already scored two goals which is more than enough to win against such a team at home, so we've got no one to blame but Conte and his defense.

Now I'm glad that Hakimi's back because now we have better chances to score more than our opponents which is our only hope to win when Kolarov's on the pitch.

Made loads of runs tonight, and was served maybe twice? Very disappointing to see, this guy is quick enough that he'll catch even the shit balls.

A million times in the first half, we had an easy overlap on the right, but every fucking time that neanderthal D'Ambrosio would just receive the ball, stop, and pass backward. The fucking idiot is too stupid to realise Hakimi is making the overlapping run beyond him and he lacks the skill to even pick him out.

If I was Hakimi I'd be furious. Making well-timed runs all game, never receiving a pass from the fucking CB's who seem more interested in padding their Fantasy Football stats for how many fucking passes they can give to each other. Then of course, Lukaku screaming at him for not reading his mind and receiving his garbage lay-offs :lol:

Like I said, Hakimi has every right to feel aggrieved tonight. Cunts did him dirty.

Did well and covered for DDA on defense. Was ill served by Dumbo, Brozo on his runs, hopefully link up play and communication with Lukaku will improve ASAP.

He was so under-utilized in a match which are like perfect for Hakimi. Static defensive line, Hakimi runs are like perfect against those. Our problem is our bhenchod ball holders (mostly Brozovic, Bastoni, De Vrij) picked his runs like ZERO times in the second half?

Our long passing was atrocious. We tried some in the first half and hit the first defender everytime.
In the first half hakimi was on all the time and no surprise we made a ton of chances.
Second half shaktar dropped so incredibly deep it was impossible to play a long ball to him.

This is how you use Hakimi, not on the sideline sending in crosses:

i don't think de bruyne would avoid every takle because he's physically weak or would make only back passes. Or shoting in the keepers arm when he has a great opportunity...

Being a member of the Belgian NT he's more likely to shoot right at the GK's body.

Imagine DAmbrosio giving that ball to Hakimi..Sorry,no chance..Only Sanchez,Eriksen and Sensi can do that,but they barely play for us.

He appears to be garbage at headers. Not the first game while he’s had some real chances to score from a header. I am actually little disappointed by his ball control tonight. He’s usually very elegant with the ball, but it didn’t look like it tonight though.

It was kinda weird to see him and Darmian switching positions a couple of times during the match. It just goes to show that our coach doesnt know what time it is. As for Hakimi, I’m not too worried about him because he has a character of a warrior and he’s quietly kicking ass. Hopefully he’s gonna rule against Real Madrid.

Think the real game will actually suit him as there will finally be space to run into. Same for atalanta.

Hakimis first touch is actually very poor and he is very limited when there is no space to run into.

I disagree. Although not great, it's far from poor. At dortmund he had the most touches of the ball (top 5 in the league) and considering 95% of dortmund games they have over 60% possession with the opposition deep in their own half, there's not much space for him to run in to. What I see is lack of a solid game plan for Hakimi which leads to indecision and hesitation and subsequently mistakes and loss of possession.

I don’t when are we going to finally have a different gameplan than constant crosses into the box...
