Donnarumma - 7 (he did well to make a great save. couldn't do anything on the goal but made some mistakes with his feet)
Musacchio - 6.5 (solid)
Romagnoli - 7.5 (best defender on the night with several blocks and always in the right spot. unlucky with the own goal but great goal to win it)
RR - 6.5 (solid. very good in possession. no mistakes. Should stop shooting from 35+ meters out. hope to see more crosses)
Kessie - 5.5 (covered for Suso all of the first half. good defensively but not good going up. terrible shooting)
Bakayoko - 5 (good on the ball for 98% of the time. The other 2% cost us a goal and almost another one)
Calhanoglu - 4.5 (losing the ball in key attacking areas and moments. Never created anything. he is in terrible span of form)
Suso - 7.5 (great goal and could have had more. disappeared for about 40 mins in the middle of the game, but so did the rest of the team)
Laxalt - 5.5 (a working shift, but not much substance)
Cutrone - 4.5 (Like Calhanoglu, he was consistently one of the worst players on the ball and lost it in some key moments. Didn't get much service)
Higuain - 6.5 (could have had 1 or 2 if not for some great saves. should have had 1 if he took a one touch shot. good holding up play)
Abate - 5 (not much to speak of. couple of mistakes and a bad cross or two. Helped Suso out though with his movement)
Castillejo - N/A (he should play more. Not sure why Laxalt is starting over him to be honest)

Gattuso - 4.5 (The decision to go 3-5-2 was not the right one imo. But more then that, that was some of the worst off the ball movement we've seen in a while, and that comes from the coach. We were toothless and without any ideas. Nobody (especially Hakan) went between the lines and it made our life very difficult in that formation. Not sure why the change from 4-4-2 happened, but we should have stuck to it even without Biglia. The difference was great to see when we went back to it. Suso was further up the field and an overlapping fullback doubling up with Kessie caused many problems for Genoa. Same with the other side between RR and Castillejo)
