Week 12: Genoa - Milan 16/12/2020 20:45 CET

Rebic as CF since Leao is useless at every position

or Colombo is a better starter for the striker role

Why play Rebic as a fucking CF?
His best games for us were in midfield.

Why fucking play Samu as a starter?

Hauge is on fire, let the kid play.
Saels had more assists this season than Samu in his entire career at Milan.

FFS Pioli.

We play rebic as cf because leao is a semi pro.
Hauge is not ready for serie a not for full games Agreed on samu.

Didnt Scaroni come out and say that we didnt even build the squad for 4th place this season?

Yes, as did Maldini I believe. Even Pioli has said that Milan belong in CL and the aim is to get back there soon but nobody said "this season". Scaroni was the one who said it won't be the end of the world if Milan miss out other than the financial loss, as long as the squad improves on its position/points from last season.

But people like Vulture think that Elliot can just pull out 200m and buy some players as if it's nothing. How many times has management stated they are taking FFP seriously and wanting to grow the revenues of the club in the correct way? Given we are doing well but missing key players through injury and how that has made us DRAW a couple games instead of winning - not even losing - I can hope that Elliot will give money to reinforce a few areas. CB, DM and maybe Ibra backup.

What is "this"? We have Kjaer, Saele and Ibra available soon, probably the latter two vs Sassuolo. Alle three vs Lazio. Quite likely two wins. So what's "this"? That we don't win every single game?

People can talk about positions being left unstrengthened in the window and rightly so, but in terms of our stated goal the mercato obviously gave us a very competitive squad. Maldini's task is not only playing FM, but also building a compatible squad with limited resources. A group that works together, while also promoting young players. Seeing as we're first in the table and growing into a feared entity in Italy speaks volumes about how he did.

In fact, maybe it's even smarter to wait until January before we complete the team even more. By then we have more answers as to how our squad looks. The CB problem for instance was partly overshadowed by strong performances by unexpected performers, especially Gabbia. Saele stepped up as RW. We're still freaking out over the midfield situation, but so far it hasn't proved as disastrous as some people did claim and continue to claim week in and week out.

I will grow a little sour if we play uninspired and lose our next two games, but even that won't break my belief in this squad having a chance at first place. And we will make CL this season, I'm willing to put big money on that.

Our injury crisis this season has been the main factor. When you have players our - key starting XI players - meaning others then have to play two games a week of course we start to fatigue. We can't play our hard pressing game ass consistently. We have to switch out players into different positions and last game we had 4 starters out which wouldn't typically be the case.

But, alas, people complain if Milan don't somehow win the season on 38W 0D 0L with half the squad injured/covid already within the first 12 rounds.

Just saw the highlights for Napoli - Merda dear God how didnt Napoli win ffs. Cant believe how shitty theve been and yet won games

Yeah, Napoli had a few good chances they should've equalized from. Unlucky not to convert like us versus Parma.

Im encouraged by our character and grit

We just arent going to win the league, its nice to imagine, but we just dont have the options. League is most likely inter vs juve, not because pirlo or conte are genuises but because of their squads. If pioli were the coach of either of those two teams, they would win the league by a mile

A team who has fucking kalulu and krunic as 4th choice cb and cm just arent going to be able to compete (past feb and march) for the league.

Scudetto's and CL places are won/gained not by winning the big names such as the Derby or away to Napoli but consistently winning against the lesser clubs such as Parma at home and certainly Genoa away. We've lost 4 points in two winnable games if we are to push for the league or get into CL places.

With Inter out of Europe they are likely to win the Scudetto or push us or Juve very close. We desperately need Zlatan and Kjaer back because we are dropping too many points.
