Theo Hernandez didn’t have a successful game last night as AC Milan drew 2-2 against Bologna. The Frenchman missed a penalty and understandably didn’t get any high scores in today’s newspapers.
It was a tough evening for many of the Milan players but especially Hernandez, who was one of the culprits on the first goal and also missed a penalty at 1-1. In our player ratings, he was given a 5/10, only ‘beaten’ by Filippo Terracciano at 4.5.
SempreMilan.it have compiled the ratings in the newspapers and there were no high scores for Hernandez there either, named as the flop of the match by Gazzetta dello Sport. The 26-year-old will be hoping for a much better game next week, taking on Frosinone.
Gazzetta dello Sport: 4.5
Tuttosport: 5.5
Corriere dello Sport: 5
In addition to the penalty strike, which hit the post, Hernandez failed to track back on the first goal and this left the entire defence vulnerable. It’s something we have seen from the left-back before this season and Milan will need to find a better balance.
Frosinone are up next, as said, and Milan need a strong performance to restore some confidence after the disappointing draw against Bologna.
Theo is becoming more suitable as a left mildfielder or even left winger than as a left back. There he would probably be able to unleash all of his potential like Alex Grimaldo has done at Leverkusen this season.
I know this might sound dumb, but if Leao leaves Theo should be tested to see if he can replace Leao as a left winger. Davies at Bayern can easily play as a left winger, and he might not be the only such case.
When Leao leaves, the idea is to replace the Leao role so that we have two attacking threats on that wing.
We’ll also need improvements across the rest of the pitch, but a lot will also depend on the incoming coach.
P.S. Good to see a fan across the city divide. Welcome! (A lot of people will give you a hard time on here, but disregard them. A lot of clowns here)
Thanks 🙂 I am an Inter fan but I also like to watch and follow Milan, M City, Chelsea, Barca and Real Madrid. They are all teams with a great history and fun to watch.
So can we swap our RL10 with your LM10, well 10 with 10 😀
