Dude is 6th choice at Milan for a reason.

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Troost and Bassey are very solid and Nwabali oozes confidence … love his cockiness.
Wish we had a Victor Moses to terrorize on the wings and a better 6 than Ndidi

Cmon Alhassan. That was a dumb foul

Honestly we would have killed these guys in the second half with a mid block. They can’t pass through or around us when we are compact
