The method you are describing has ruined our season. We went down this road with Montella already. The reason why our season has been brought back to life is because we stick to one system with same starters who got accustomed to each other.
Cutrone from the bench and let him grow in peace? Ancient mentality. Donnarumma has had the best practice in life because he started and was excused after any mistake. In this Milan, you can learn and mistake as long as there is a deficiency of quality. Cutrone ain't 17. I don't see why we should bench a motivated hard worker with good performance.
what montella failed in milan because we didnt have a clear strategy and playstyle, we walked around in circle, 4-3-3 and 3-5-2 etc... its not only about the players he used, now we are having a clear style, some versatility is always good
i didnt say cutrone should be benched every game, what i said is he should be a rotation option, shouldnt put the pressure on his shoulder so much, and in fact he scored in some pretty nice games where he came from the bench in the past
gattuso should anticipate games differently: like when against weaker opponents cutrone will be starter so we can use his killer instinct to break the bus, against stronger opponents which we struggle to hold the ball and keep possession, we need silva type to move the ball more smoothly etc...
ofc its not easy like that but thats just my example
bold part well i can say donna's case is really rare in football, he just really lucky because we actually gambled, we didnt have any better option, other GKs shared him the 1st spot and he satified our requirements eventually
beside u cant compare a GK with a striker, u can study and read movements, playstyle from a striker, but not from a GK, you can only know about his reflexes or stuff, totally different story
