The silver lining to Hakan being injured is that it’s a great opportunity for Asllani. He can finally gain some crucial experience by observing Gagliardini apply his trade on the field.

How did Hakan play? My Turkish friends can’t stand Hakan and think he’s a mediocre player.

The VAR ref suffered a stroke?

I forgot he was on the pitch until the camera showed his face in the 94th minute.

Lautaro got Muntaried by Arcebi?

Even still, Maicon’s goal was easily better. Much, much better

How was Lukaku not a great deal? We sold him for $50mil more than what we paid for him, and he carried us to the league.

It’s honestly surprising, as Miki’s often the least involved in our attacking play. The best comparison for how he uses Miki is Eto’o under Mourinho. At Roma and other clubs, he was a very direct attacking threat, always looking to overlap and constantly making runs into the box. Under Inzaghi...

We shouldn’t even be scouting Balkan/Turkish origin players, who play anywhere north of Austria. Just blindly sign the next 30 we come across, and 5 of them will turn out to be superstars.

Given how good Asllani looked in preseason, it’s a scandal he hasn’t played more. There’s a good chance he’ll look lost when he next starts, but if he’d had consistent appearances, even off the bench, there’s a good chance he would have started regularly contributing. Part of the reason we...

For the record, I wasn’t accused.

I’m only speaking anecdotally, but from my experience false accusations are all too common. I’ve had friends who have been raped, one even pressed charges and the scumbag was let off. Having said that, I’ve personally encountered sociopaths who weaponise rape allegations. There’s a lot of...

This is completely Inzaghi’s fault. He proved utterly incapable of adapting his tactics to fit the condition of the pitch. We could be playing on sand, and he would still insist on playing Inzaghiball.

Bologna dominating us in slip ‘n’ slide

I think it’s a more fundamental problem than that he’s burnt out or out of sync last night. The issue is that he’s simply not a central midfielder. He’s done very well for the most part, but a cagey game like last night really exposed his glaring weakness - he can’t find space in the middle of...

I honestly can’t be mad at Dzeko. The guy’s been played into the ground once again. I was hoping he would be used more surgically this season, as Sanchez was.

I would honestly like to see Çalhanoğlu keep his place in the middle and Brozo played instead of Mkhitaryan. It’s not like Miki’s being played in any offensive capacity anyway. He’s also shocking at finding space as a central midfielder; something Brozovic excels at.

We honestly need two or three Hakans. Had his clones played over Barella and Mkhitaryan, we would have sealed it 4-0.

The saves were alright I guess, but screaming at Dzeko to get his shit together was the real winner.

Barella’s having a shocker. Dimarco and Miki look invisible on the left and Dzeko showing why Lukaku should have started. The only standouts have been Darmian and Hakan. Hope to see Lukaku, Gosens and Brozovic on soon.
