Ok a few things:
1. Zhegrova obviously MOTM for us.
2. D.Luiz is doing some good things but also misplaces too many passes.
3. Koop cant defend the same as Locatelli - it was surely felt.
4. Spalletti`s football isnt horrible but it needs a serious tweak.
Contrary to what some think - possession only counts if you do something with it. We are way to sterile. not enough balls to the box, controlling yes but no real threat. Lets just say that threat wise we didnt deserve to win this and we played Sassuolo. Luck is one thing but we didnt lose due to luck.
Pape Sarr - Havent seen much from him although he was short on minutes, basically he passed the ball to the player next to him without anything special.
On the bright side I was actually impressed with Lucumi - While he played our defense was way better.
On another note - Celik is underrated - He isnt the best attacker but his defending skills are at least twice better than Cambiasso...
Almost forgot - That Sassuolo guy Bacola (probably misspelled his name) is pretty decent

When we cant score a goal, we push and press too high from their goal kick with 5 players infront and 5 players back and left big gap in midfield. They always pass the middle with long pass and always win the second ball. That happen with our first conceded goal in min 64. They play it long and win the second ball.
When the position 1-1 or 2-2 we also not build the attack patiently with system but rely more on individual trickery. Always rush a thing.
When Kelly pass to Kolo Muani and he still had option Oboavwoduo or Kelly back who is free in middle, he try to dribble the player and got dispossessed. Sass play it long and scored the third goal. Kolo is selfish and stupid here.
There already alert in previous minute when Oboavwoduo lost the ball and Adzic free on the left but Bremer able to close him but we repeat again this mistake.
When Spaletti mention about Woltemade late pass to Kolo. I also think is it because he also being selfish or not making good decision. A good team is a team who just not have a good skillful player but make a good decision and play as a team. We still have long way to get there
