So, I'm not defending Paqueta, but to me it seemed like he was actually slapping away the hand of the Bologna player. I don't even think he realized that the referee's hand was also touching him at the same tim. Still, a very silly mistake. An experienced player would make the most of those challenges and get the Bologna players sent off....instead, he got himself a red card.
We didn't play a great game, as expected. I don't expect Gattuso or this team to suddenly switch gears and play great. But, I expect for us to grind out results like we did today. We got a little lucky on a few occasions, especially in the first half. The defending was really sketchy. The attacking was unconvincing....yet the first half could have easily been 2-2 for example.
Not sure what to expect next weekend in terms of game play. To be honest, I don't even care how we play. Just win these last 3 games one way or another. Then we'll see what happens.
About Leonardo's statements on the budget. I don't believe a word he says. He also made sure to put in that last sentence in there where he says the CL will be a decider of which way we go in terms of the market. He said similar things last fall and then we spent 70mil in the winter. Obviously there are many factors, but the most important ones are the willingness of Elliot to spend and the CL. Hopefully, in 3 weeks, both those things will be present.
