Hojbjerg is a liability. To be fair, he's not alone in that assessment, but when he's bad he's fecking awful.
Juve let him go because Allegri's system used inverted wingers, even to the point of miscasting Dybala as one
Emerson the only bright spot in another dreadful performance. No cohesion, no spark and so many individually inept performances.
First half was a nothing burger. We're going out of the cup if we keep this up second half. In my mind this is the last chance for Conte, he better swallow his pride and change it up, anything to get the result... no shots on target in the first half is absolutely pathetic so far...
You may well turn this around second half, but to me, this looks like the performance of a team that knows their manager won’t be there/doesn’t want to be there next season. I’ve seen Milan play a few times this season and they’re nothing special at all. You have more than enough quality to be knocking them out, but it’s all too passive and cumbersome. No urgency in anything you’re doing. Some of your players are making a lot of rash decisions and silly fouls in areas that disrupts the flow of the game (which is what Milan want).
Coincidentally, if we do turn it around in the second half, both Romero and Lenglet will be suspended for our next game...
Quite probably the last 45 minutes of CL football we will see for several years I would imagine. Downward spiral and too many other better or improving teams. Hopefully they will at least put some sort of effort in this half...
