We got past Merda, but signs are worrying because since the Lazio match, it feels like teams have got our number when we're doing nothing but defending.
Thing is, this team have the talent to actually press well in midfield and build up play well enough to create the chances that Piatek or Cutrone need to put the ball in the net every match... multiple times...
Gattuso's insistence on "balance" is making us way more defensive than we have to be, and it's hindering us during counter attacks because our wings have been on a defending mentality for too long. Seriously, if we conceded near the end of this match, I couldn't see us getting another goal in quick order to restore a lead, because the team were already mentally on the defensive.
Gattuso should be playing this game when we are 3-0 or 4-0 up, not when we're 1-0 up against a team with 10 men and a backup keeper in goal.....
