These lot are ridiculous. 😂 So many cynical challenges. 

Just come up from Serie B, it's a bit more physical than Serie A and well, let's say it's a tradition that if you can't stop them going round you fairly, just don't let them get round you.... Doing it and not getting a yellow is an art form really, a very Italian one 😉

Halftime:

Yeah, we're playing 442, but we aren't playing bad or "being overrun".  Baffled by some of the comments I've seen here so far.  McGinn & Nakamba have been the two best players on the pitch.  

El Ghazi - Needs to be replaced, ASAP.  Wasted every single corner/free kick he took and did fook all with the ball for as much as he's been passed to.  Great penalty, but he's the main reason why our attack has looked so poor.

Defense - All 4 defenders have made at least one individual error this half.  Shades of our shambolic defense of 19/20.  Need to get the cobwebs out, ASAP.

Ings - Brilliant runs/touches and a great finish for the goal.  Will be a key man for us this season.  

The Italians - Physical, pressing well all over the pitch, sitting back defending well, and trying to hit us on the counter.  Playing like a Premier League side.  Should have been 2-0 up if that lad could finish, but they've been a good side for us to gage where we're at going into the season.

Like Cheillini with Saka

Ings can take them. 

That's who came to mind, AEG might get a few of the early games in but I'd expect him to be on the bench for the majority of the season. Better to let Ings take em from day1 and get his golden boot tally up.
