why? Is that a trick question? World class players like Özil and the Chilien dude helps alot…. But still; they too are playing a 4-4-2 system 🙂
we sucked in the 1. – but were much better in the second – still Guarin HAS to be benched over Kondogbia if we continoue to play 4-4-2!
At the second half we better in positioning because samp playing counter attack and after they 1-0.. they only focus in defend… (it make we look better) we are bad in making goal… our winger make so much cross… but the attacker can make it to be goal
because Icardi in the middle was isolated and need another top striker to help him out – but wait; JOJO is returning; problem solved!
we can’t be so dependant on one player.. especially an injury prone one…
meaning? We can’t buy another untill January and are there anyone out there we can affore? Because it really seems like Mancini wants to play with two on top and Icardi could need some help up there that´s for sure!
Jojo is great but he use cinderela shoes ( problem in injury) .. poor jojo… always injury… btw what do u think about telles.. i think he is good although samp goal from his left side,, santon play good in attack but always slow in respon counter attack..
Like the young lad a lot! He is 22 years old so he has a lot of time to improve; very talented and strong going forward. Him and Perisic could really work out great on the left!
At the end of the day, one point here is not too bad! Samp is deadly at home! Now off to Juve, away to Palermo and then Roma!
game against juventus we must at least draw
cant let rube catch up in a 6 point game
it depends on ref
We have the slowest counter attack I’ve ever seen.
Melo, Kondo, and Guarin not the the fastest players for the counter attack..
Now lets hope for a miracle from atalanta
another troll!? never see him before..
From my predictions he’s just a rano/kova/shaq fanboy who hates mancini
Ljajic need more playing time… only 3 minute play he show he is worthed
Ljajic is good ! he’s similar jojo. they can play together
we all want to see.. Pericis – Jojo – Liajic play together..
we all want to to see Pericis, Ljajic, and Jojo play together
Yeah palacio is done.. and ljajic must play next week.. and we can try brozo to replace guaro
4-2-3-1
agree ?
totally
So what do you guys make of this game? We sucked big time in 1. half but were much better in the second, and actually dominated the second totally! Perisic is MUCH better when playing in a 4-4-2 – it seems, and Biabiany who has been away from top football for a hole year seems very promising too! Guarin in the middle with Melo doesn’t work, but Melo and Kondogbia could work though..
Why Ljajic isn’t playing is dowm to the system, I guess, because playing 4-4-2 doesn’t leaves much place for a creative number 10 like him!
When Jojo returns he will fit perfectly into this system next to Icardi, and will get a lot of crosses to work with in a 4-4-2…. I remain an optimist for the future!
Biabiany lacks quality.. but i have to give him credit.. when he subbed in he always bring pace to the team..
Buddy I was also surprised by the second half.. we actually looked like a team, now if guaro gets his act together and jojo and miranda come back; I think we will see something great.
When Mirando gets back Medel (one of our best players every game) will be in midfield next to Melo I guess; problem solved… only; where will Kondogbia be?
That’s a brain scratcher alright… I’ll leave this one to mancio XD
Next we need ljajic than palacio… melo and kondo the best.. guaro hopeless (really no idea) perisic man or the match
disappointing.. we should’ve won this game.. we have the right players but not utilizing them
i am starting to believe that we have some agreement with roma that if ljalic play some minutes we have to buy him or something…
it s possible
We should buy him anyways he’s most creative winger we have..perisic arguably but he should be bought imo
Guaro useless,, kondo is the best in middle why mancio sub with bibiany not to ljajic.. and manaj ???? Really no idea
guarin useless compared to Kondog; agree but biabiany seems promising (considering he has been away from football for a hole year!)
Yeah..i think althought ljajic only play 3 min… he is better than bibi who play more minutes
yes, but Ljajic isn’t a true winger – Biabiany is. Ljajic is devastating in the middle or behind the strikers!
I am wondering if something happened between ljajic and mancini in training… coz it was exactly the same story with shaquiri and way after we heard that something happened in training
I wanted a red card against Guarin.. maybe we’ll not start with him against Jube
Ljajic should have been subbed on waaay earlier instead of manaj
He should have started…palacio is done.
pala is done but Ljajic isn’t the aswner you all think; he is a number 10 kind of player not a top striker Icardi needs in a 4-4-2 system, Mancini seems to like at the moment!
Problem is palacio was used as a winger in the first half XD
not really; guarin and Perisic were our wingers, but Pala allways tends to drift to the sides – like he has allways done! Jojo back next to Icardi with the crosses from Perisic and Biabiany will be great!
Still not sold on biabiany but there’s no harm on trying it
a hole year away from football and he played a fine game today!? I like him and have allways liked him 🙂 And having him on the right is like 1000 times better than having Guarin on the wing like in 1. half
This is very true
He did more in 5 min than Manaj in 25.
He did more in 5 mins than GUARIN IN 90 MINS!!!
hahahaha fucking true!
manaj should have had a penalty!
Mancini is trolling us.. fucking ahole
Good game,unlucky
we’re lucky not to lose tbh.. ^^
Hmmm missed the first half..was it that bad?
Yeah. But as lucky as we were in the first half, they were lucky when Rocchi robbed us of a penalty.
not that bad, but not that good either.. but still better that fiorentina game..
we’re lucky not to lose..
only in the 1. half – in the second we dominated!
We could have easily won this, but considering how we played, I will take 1 point. Away fixture against Sampdoria aint easy.
Attacker priority for next time, take notes Mancini:
Jovetic>Icardi>Perisic>Ljajic>Palacio>Biabiany>Manaj
What we will actually see: Palacio, Biabiany, Manaj
Expectation : Jovetic>Icardi>Perisic>Ljajic>Palacio>Biabiany>Manaj
Reality : Jovetic>Icardi>Palacio>Perisic>Biabiany>Manaj>Ljajic
Might as well call back Schelotto and Jonathan and play them instead of Ljajić.
LOL !!!
at least give guarin red pls…
LOL.. HAHAHAHA
JJ, miranda and jojo coming back will be glorious
The only one I feel sorry for is Telles, he played decently in JJ’s spot.
Can he take santons spot?
Santon has been playing well too, and Telles never played RB as far as I remember. Maybe. We will see.
LOL, You guys. Telles’s Right foot is shit
Hehe was asking and hoping for someone with info on that. Would have liked to see a JJ/telles combo
agree – but JJ in stead of Telles?
I’m mixed about that… an attacking game we use telles. Defensive game JJ
true my friend!
Manaj…..sigh*
And finally we juz win the ball positioning
counter attack this
This is frustrating
Mancini:”I tried to utilize Ljajić and send him on field, but he didn’t really show anything(doesn’t matter he only had 2 minutes). I think I will hold off from using him in the future.”
Ljajic is the new Shaqiri 😀
poor ljajic…
u give 3 min for ljajic what an asshole
lmao ljajic’s 30s contribution > Manaj 20 min contribution
Just if it was earlier Mancini you twat…
sometimes i think he is a coward..
Watch at the difference…
Omg
what is the point of this?!?
ljajic should have been on ages ago
too late fucker
Finalllyyy
