I understand the frustration guys but we still played a very good team today. We have to take it one game at a time and get the season back on track, but I’m not going to act like a draw away at Atalanta is the same as some of our previous results. The team is obviously low on confidence right now. If anything the previous results make today harder not easier. Last year we scored to go 2-0 and today we didn’t, that’s the major difference.
Some more takeaways that aren’t exactly earth shattering. We need a better midfielder off the bench then Gags and to be honest we need a better starter then Brozovic. Brozo was better in the 2nd half but his passing in the 1st put us in trouble. Lukaku was poor when he came on and his brick touch led to a sustained attack resulting in the goal. It would be nice to see more Sanchez with Hakimi from the start, however I though Darmian had a solid match today. Expectations were low when he came in but admit it, he’s better then we thought. Good match and assist from Young, and we did look more solid with Skriniar then D’Ambrosio and I don’t think we lost all that much going forward.
Let’s hope for no injuries during the international break. We need a run of results sooner rather than later if we’re going to make a serious run at the league or making it out of the CL group.
