I know it feels bad that we havent won, but for rino it was important not to lose. Our ability to not lose games instills a mentallity that will help us next season when we have more quality in our squad

Dumbest thing I have read in quite some time

Current team
The only reason why Milan is in 6th place and not lower is because the teams below them are having a really shitty season.
An average season from Sampdoria, Atalanta, Fiorentina and/or Torino and we would be in 10th place now...

This club is run by an average management with average coaches training a bunch of average players, which gives you an average (midtable) position in the league.

Garbage

Grinding out points can get you in top 4

You dont have to be amazing to get top 4 in this league which is the aim next season. You just need to be able to keep the points rolling.

Gattuso seems not to be able to get his teams to score goals.
This seems like a Hallmark of his coaching style.

You can ramble on about the squad quality....but his decisions.... especially his seemingly misplaced faith in Kalinic leave me with more questions than answers.

At this stage we shouldn't need to be needing a goal to panic play Silva and Cutrone up front. Kalinic is shit. This is an indisputable universal truth.

Also Suso's mind is clearly elsewhere and I can't blame him with Grintuso at the helm, playing him in a manner that doesn't maximize his output. Though I can't blame him....I now also say he can fuck off as long as we get a better replacement..... though I'm starting to think that it's more Gattuso who shouldn't have been prematurely renewed.

we are not playing 4-4-2 for a long time, even with cutrone and silva upfront we are playing 3-5-2 with kessie as a WB

Agree with most parts minus the agenda against gattuso.

Gattuso is still green as a coach, don’t forget that.

We are getting better at playing it out the back.Our passing is better until the final third, we press better, defend better

I see reason for optimism for next season

If we win 4 out of our last 5 games in serie A and draw to atalanta away, you would have to say gattuso has had a decent stint in charge since new year

Many commoders thought we were going to lose this game, so many "i have a bad feeling about Torino"

i think it was a decent result and performance

Kalinic was shit but did the most he could i think, he was like a better shade of shit today

Suso is a pussy and not built for serie a, he needs to go

There's little reason not to hand it out at the end of the season, I agree. I suppose there's a connection to our transfer strategy.

3/5 games were Juve, Inter and Napoli though...it's not like that doesn't matter.

Dumbest thing I have read in quite some time

Would you say the same thing if Gattuso had instead started cutrone and silva in a 4-4-2 leaving out kalinic and Aceventura and we still drew this game? Torino scored due to a defensive error from a set piece. And last I checked, we were missing Romagnoli, who's been a wall in defending our set pieces for us.

No one has improved since came to Milan except Borini
Bonuci, musachio, Biglia, Kessie, Kalinic, Silva they all having downfall

I know you really mean to say "No one has improved since Gattuso came to Milan except Borini"

But even with that correction, this is the dumbest thing I've read in recent times. If you skill of observation is as bad as your writing, then that explains your garbage point of view.

ciao.

Bonucci bigger than Milan?

obvs not, what a dumb question.

he deserves better than this though, imagine being promised a project and being given kalininc, bonna, RR, borini as your teamates and gattuso as your coach?

then being critcised for saying the squad needs better players.

he deserves some sort of bonus for sticking around if he does

Most top 4 teams (bar Juve and naples) would take a draw vs torino away

No I wouldn't have said that....but then again...I'm not sure that we'd be in the predicament we got ourselves in if we were constantly bombarding Torino.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.
Gattuso had two options 1) Start Kalinic 2) Not start Kalinic

-He chose to start the shit one.
-The shit one didn't score (shocker I know :eek: )
-Torino scored...i.e. we now needed a goal
-He takes off the admittedly shit Suso and brings on Silva and Cutrone
-Now we have two strikers on but less supply....even though said supply was playing like shit. Who better to trust to cross in the ball for Silva and Cutrone than Suso. Didn't Silva's last goal come off a Suso cross? Honestly, the grinta tactics need to yield to a little bit of strategy every now and then!
-Are you still NOT seeing the problem with this sequence?

Agreed. Nobody can deny that Gattuso has fixed the defense and the midfield to a large extent.
Bonucci looked semi-pro before he came....our defense is pretty solid. I'll give him credit for that.

It's almost as if you missed the fact that every single mentioned player was signed before Bonucci except Kalinic.

And it's almost as if you don't understand how PR and coaching works.

Luckily I know from our last discussion that you're not stupid!

It ain't about the team that Milan is drawing. It's that it's draw after draw when we need wins.
