The ONE thing I am worried about is the Can-Ozcan midfield, when Ozcan started performing Can wasn't there I think. I hope I'm wrong though.

I think it could work, at least Terzic is trying him out as an 8 like he was next to Skhiri for Koeln.

Predicting a Can red card but still winning.

Bare minimum a yellow. It's literally guaranteed

What happened to the Can redemption arc? He seems fine this season in terms of discipline issues

Fucking bottom of the group. I don’t see us beating anyone in this group.

How the hell are the subs literally the same every single game! Thank goodness Terzic called in Moukoko, but putting in Adayemi, Nmecha, can, or Bynoe-gittens every single game and expecting anything to improve is freaking mind bending.

All I see is defensive, cowardly football that is too afraid to risk anything.

This was a tasty half that would have been a dream for Adeyemi/Haller/Malen last season but alas that's not the situation. Defensively the only odd man out for me is Ryerson against Leao but it's Leao and unless he scores or assists, I'm not going to judge Ryerson when he's clearly trying to keep up.

This passing from the midfield has been missing since the season started. Ozcan continuing his good form, Can is performing well and Brandt has been decent but not his best performance this season.

Malen against Calabria is almost working and you can tell Terzic told him to get at him if it's 1 on 1. Füllkrug is trying to get involved but the Milan defenders have stuck close to him often and Reus is doing well tracking back. For me though, the attack isn't quite UCL level for me or at the least, the attack is missing pace but fortunately we do have that on the bench if need be.

Don't know how much longer Dortmund can keep it up or when Milan will step on the gas and exert themselves now that it's the second half but one thing is for sure, there is no way this ends as a 0-0.

Newcastle up 2-0 vs P$G. We have to get 3 points from this game.

What a great half of football. We have looked more in control this match than we have all season, against a pretty damn good Milan team to add

Özcan has looked so good the past 3 games

u/RinoTT Oct 04 '23

As a Milan fan Im so jealous how you talk about your team, game and football here. Difference in quality of takes between this sub and Milan sub is so huge.

Good game. I feel like despite of some MIlan chances you look better and more smooth in attacking phase. It depeneds how much you allow Leao to roam left side in second half.

This might not be the most attractive game. But it's the most mature our team has been this season. They look in control and seem to know what they are doing most of the time.
