Jonathan Rowe

It was a 3-4-3 formation for Amorim's men, Manian in goal, the backline of Pavlovic, Lewinter and Hila, Moreira, Modric, Moussa and Chukweza formed the midfield form, with Pulisic, Ramos and Rabiot completing the front line.

A 4-3-3 for Atalanta, for Sarri's men, of course, Karnesecki in goal, a backline of Bellanova, Christensen, Kolasinac and Bernasconi, Samardzic, Ederson and Pasalic forming in between three, with Decatelare on the right, Jonathan Rowe on the left and Kerstovic up front.

Now, there was an early disallowed goal for Milan through Pulisic, who scored in the 13th minute, but was marginally, marginally offside.

And Ramos had a stoppage time goal ruled out later on as well.

100% 100%

he

really gets it I feel like he is the midfielder firstly I think he's like apart from Jonathan Rowe the only signing that Atalanta made this season And he was specifically requested by Sarri.

Of course, Sarri probably knows him from Napoli.

but yeah it was it was it was interesting to see these formations and i think i think it's sort of like that wasn't why we lost today it wasn't like any formation thing wasn't any tactical thing i think

yeah no i i agree i i i do want to talk about and this is coming from the game of you know maybe it was just the timing of it and and amongst other things, but when Zalewski came on for, for Rowe, and to be honest, I was looking forward to the Rowe versus Rabiot, uh, matchup because that, that was the, that was the Marseille bust up.

Um, but, uh, roe had some very very i mean i think he was pretty isolated didn't do very well with his one-on-ones and you know the team just wasn't doing well in general um had some poor passes poor touches and in general we were very sloppy and in the first 60 minutes couldn't keep possession probably more thanks to milan's pressure i'll be honest i felt like i was milan was gasperini's atalanta and we were and we were i don't know pioli's milan kind of kind of situation right That's what it felt like because we were seeing...

We know Ruben Amorim has very similar kind of philosophies to Gasparini.

Probably a little bit more flexible than Gasparini even.

But...

I felt that Rowe showed some Grinta coming back, covering, playing defensively, but he's very much stuck in his left channel.

Whereas Zalewski, when coming on, you could see a little bit more movement, and I think that they were able to play off of him, and then he would come back over to the left, drift into the middle.
