I watched closely every Milan match in this pre-season and guys, i am sorry to say but we need someone way better than Honda,someone who can supply our strikers and again we need second CB. Ely was again very solid despite 3:0 loss and i really like the idea of Bonaventura and Bertolacci playing in middle with De Jong. Poli was great in pre-season but he should be back-up for De Jong cause when i observe him,he reminds me of Ambrosini a lot. Honda is to slow to be CAM and he should be trained to play in Bertolacci’s position.… Read more »
The issue with had yesterday was basically the awful display of our mezzalas. Jack has to improve as one if he’s going to start a lot of games, or he’ll be solely used as a trequartista (when balance is needed as Miha stated.) Bertolacci offered nothing. I pray for our sakes that we have not just wasted money on him. As for Honda; he has to learn how to release the ball on time. Zapata and Ely might end up being our starting CBs. They complement each other. Zapata’s pace and Ely’s positional sense. The only down side is the… Read more »
I disagree with your assesments on Bertolacci, he was the only one who could keep the ball in the midfield, (in the second half that is), and the few attacks we started all went through him. Bonaventura was way worse then him, and De Jong didn`t offer much going forward either, he mostly just passes back or sideways. Bertolacci doesn`t offer enough defensively though imo, he should improve his workrate or be played at the 10 position. I don`t think it`s fair to criticize Honda based on a match like this because he hardly get the ball and when he… Read more »
Funny enough, Gabi Paletta would have easily made so much difference in this game with his incredible man marking. I also feel like Menez in this game would have really ran at them and ease the pressure(Even though I’d rather see him sold). Honestly, Bayern slayed us but we have way too many plastic fans in this blog; One moment they’re all excited then after one bad game, all the players has to go. Everybody is complaining about a real play-maker and yes! we could splash heavy money on a young and incredibly talented one so…(Wait for it) so, where… Read more »
