Davide Massa (born 15 July 1981) is an Italian football referee who officiates in Serie A. He has been a FIFA referee since 2014, and is ranked as a UEFA elite category referee. He is by far one of the worst referees I have ever seen officiate a match. He absolutely fell for Atletico’s and Simeone’s favorite dark arts bits, and he ignored a clear back pass from us. It is no wonder Italian football has fallen off so much when referees like these are the standard. I thought we weren’t good, yet we still deserved to win. Iraola experienced his first comeback win, and I have full faith in him as a manager. I was really impressed with how he set us up after we took the lead, it looked far better than anything under Slot. For the nostalgia merchants, KLOPP won most of our Anfield games like this. Sit back deep and counterattack while pressing like dogs. I thought VVD and Jacquet were excellent, and Kerkez was not as bad as the brain-rotted trolls claim. Our LWs always help our LBs defend, and I think Rio let us down in that regard. Szobo looks better, especially in how he connects with Wirtz. Muñoz looked like he had on the wrong boots when he came on. Gravenberch won us time by getting fouled, but he’ll need to be sold in the summer. Barcola looks like a player who hasn’t played since July, but his base looks promising. I was not surprised by that miss at all, he’s a player who takes 10 shots and misses 8. Frimpong doesn’t look half bad as a winger, but we’ll need Gomez back. Atleti have to be a social experiment by the way. How anyone can follow that team has to be a test of character. I hope we never see them again, and I can’t wait for United to face them. And to any United and Arsenal fans clowning Barcola, have fun with your unsigned Vinis and washed Rashfords.
