2-2 and if they're gonna continue like this they're gonna concede a third. Penaldo almost won his first penalty in Serie A.

I couldn't watch the match but will surely try to find the video of it. Roma Atalanta 3-3. Roma with their best 11, Atalanta resting a few starters. But I've seen a lot of Gasperini's matches and can say I'm impressed with his style. He's the very definition of a manager thinking outside of the box. Combining a few tactical approaches into a fluid system. Always lined up in a 3-4-3 (3-5-2) formation insisting on 3 at the back. Also opts for man-to-man marking thus enabling his teams to press midfield lines and the flanks high up the pitch. When the ball's won (usually in the middle, flanks are covered) they're starting a transition. The striker (9) is always a bit behind the wings (if they're not playing with 2 strikers, then one's behind to support and the other's in front) which tend to run behind defenses and cut the ball back (tonight it was Mario Pašalić who's not even a striker). It's a neat system but amazingly efficient. On the other hand, I'm starting to doubt Monchi's work regarding the midfield. Also, never thought Olsen would prove to be a solid option.

Decent Milan derby so far. Inter are pretty strong and well covered in most positions. Definitely a team which could cause us a lot of problems on Wednesday. Icardi and Perisic are the two we really need to watch.

The thug Nainggolan has to be subbed off due to injury a couple of days before facing Barca. YES!
