Udinese vs. Milan 11/4/18

Wondering if we should be switching to 4-3-3 at this point with Higuan off and Castillejo on. Bakayoko looks clumsy on the ball and midfield is being over run. Abate not helping Suso with overlaps.

Really miss players like Bonaventura who can run into space with the ball.

BTW, any one of you out there getting the game via ESPN+?  Loving it thus far, a great deal for $6 a month.

Yea, i've been using it this season. It's absolutely great. Love it. and the price, like you mentioned is awesome.


About the game, Sums up Milan in a nutshell this season. Some questionable defending, coupled with some decent moves when attacking usually coming from our right side via Suso.

On Suso not passing to Higuain on that one shot......yes, he could have just rolled the ball over to Higuain, but in that situation after dribbling in and having his head down, everything happens quick and can't fault him for the shot too much. That shot also took a deflection (that wasn't given), otherwise it was heading on target and likely a goal, judging from how close it missed by with that deflection.

Anyway, we are not playing great. Very little creativity and technical ability through the middle. Bakayoko and Kessie have been purely industrial so far and don't have the ability to spread the ball across the field. It's frustrating watching a midfield like that. I've been really disappointed with Kessie to be honest. 


This game can go either way. We actually look closer to conceding that to scoring at the moment. I hope we show up with a slightly higher line in the second half. We need to force Udinese into a mistake as that seems to be the only way we'll be able to score tonight. I don't see us creating much ourselves unless it comes from Suso.

If all the injured players can't come back in a week, we are going to lose 0-10 to Juventus.

Oh well, this is still the Udinese game, so I am not going to worry about the next one.

Bakayoko and Kessie are really lol

[nefremo]

Holly shit these 2 (Kessie and Bakayoko) are beyond bad!!!!!

[reza]

There is zero shape, zero tactics and Romagnoli runs up and elbows the Udinese player. I have no idea what this team is about.
