Or second and third goal.

[Sampinjon]

With this team, you're never safe. Same way we scored two, we can easily concede two.

True. There is still 135 minutes left in this tie.

3-1 but a poor performance. Slavia is well organised and we havent got any ideas. Game opened up a bit after the red card. We scored 3 goals but 2 of them from a dead ball situation, great shot by reijnders though! And a deflected shot by rafa headed in by giroud

[Sampinjon]

We should trash them 5-1 or 6-1 or so,. I'd like it mostly to see who will play in Praha. Will some "other folks" get a chance? If not, than why they're even here if they can't be trusted to "finish the job" in those conditions?

You never know which Milan you get. The one that can beat PSG or the one that gives up 4 goals to Monza. Today seems to be the Monza version. Good thing they got that red card, because we looked absolutely dreadful until that point. Even after that, we weren't good.

It's just TOOOO slow. Gabbia and Kjaer move the ball way too slow and are very very afraid of making vertical passes. Gabbia literally looked at Leao on multiple occasions, it would have been a 10 meter pass to feet that put Leao 1v1. Gabbia opted against it EVERY TIME because the defender was somewhat close to Leao. Even Leao got frustrated several times and was throwing his hands up.

But it's not just that. Overall, we progress the ball between lines very casually and very slow. And when you play against a motivated team like Slavia and a team that is willing to sprint the entire time to make up ground and mark up....you have to move the ball with more conviction and purpose. Instead, we don't. We are hesitant to, and pass it horizontally. The result? Shit performance that invites the other team to attack us in our own house.

[Santino]

We must trash them now, because in Praha we can get a big surprise...
