Two bang average teams there, "only" 1-0 gives us hope but you can't be confident of our chances.
This is another game where what plays out contributes to why I have little sympathy for Conte re. giving him the benefit of the doubt. Our play is just so basic and lacking in quality and any direction or ethos. In tight games with the ball in the oppositions half we have next to no attacking/possession structures and idea as to how we go about our work. We are completely unable to sustain real pressure in the final third. We'll shuffle it about until going wide and swinging in a hopeful cross, or hope for a corner, and, whether they're technically fouls against us or not, I'm starting to really dislike our propensity to try and stop and milk freekicks instead of concentrating on playing footy and moving the ball.
Basic. Basic. Basic.

I'm not sure Kane and Son can play together now that Son can't run any longer.
Soft goal against, nothing created going forward.

Bizarre game, thought we played ok yet hardly had a chance
Thought they were shit yep scored one and missed 2 sitters
Lack of chances is worrying, skipp was superb

Don’t think we’ve played that badly away at the San Siro, Sarr was quite good. It’s just fucking giving away that goal early on that could cost us in the end. Had we come away with nil nil playing like that then most would have been happy but it’s that fucking defending again.

Won't be Dier at least, he's missing the game after that yellow

Because we have no creative players like an Eriksen or prime Dele to intelligently ping the balls up. Everything here are through the flanks through the flanks, making us so predictable and empty in the middle.

Given the injuries we have, 1-0 isn't a disaster. It's all to play for in the second leg.

Yeah he put on a bit of a masterclass in the dark arts of isolated centre forward play. Won so many clever free kicks and kept possession when he had zero right to. Didn't offer much in front of goal but was still one of our best players tonight.

Not helping him that Conte won’t let him play out wide

I think it's because we don't have players to bring the ball forward so they stand waiting on the ball to come to them.

I wish you would go to bed/go away permanently sunshine, but life's a shithouse isn't it?

I thought Kulu and Son were terrible. Kane kept playing duff balls. Sarr and Emerson were both terrific though.

I’ve been here far longer than you, mate. Go and argue with your cat. You’re boring.I wish you would go to bed/go away permanently sunshine, but life's a shithouse isn't it?
We've done alright still being in the tie. With all the injuries, distinct lack of talent, and talented players being horribly off form, one down going into the 2nd leg ain't bad. That said, Milan are poor, and they'll be more than happy to have a lead.
Thought Sarr and Skipp were excellent.
