Yes, of course I am. Because what matters is the current form and not last season's. Montolivo was unfit and out of form for most of last season.

I love Locatelli and it's awesome to have a homegrown midfielder come through, I like him a lot more than I like Montolivo, but I'd pick Montolivo ahead of him for this game right now. Next week, it might be different.

Same logic for Cutrone over Andre Silva.

He just came of an "injury", which form are you talking about? Because he scored against farmers 2 weeks ago? And regarding Montolivo there is seriously no such thing as form. He is a bad and slow players who ruins our tempo and play. What's the difference when he's in form? Less passes to our opponent?

Locatelli should start every game before Montolivo every day of the week, when Biglia isn't available of course.

Also love how you're mentioning Montos "form" when surrounded by our best team on San Siro against the farmers, but not Locatelli's match/form in our latest game away, surrounded by football analphabets.

It is not a surprise that someone with the name necrowanker prefers a dead guy over a living one. But, come on now... Surely, you can't be serious?

You will regret this.

Second game of our Serie A campaign and Borini is still our starting LW, wow.

Getting real tired of seeing Montolivo in our staring lineup aswell, it's fucking disgusting by Montella. Could also be that Montella is being held as a hostage here, maybe Monto has his kids? Or maybe he has been giving away free BJ's to the staff etc for years now. Something is seriously wrong.

Monto is a cancer in our play and the more I keep writing about this, the more angry I get, so I'm gonna stop now. :)

+1

If a decent LW and a backup for Kessie such as Renato doesn't arrive would be so disappointing. Missing out on CL again would be too much.

:lol: Do you people actually not watch matches? Montolivo was man of the match in the last one he played. He's fit and on form. When he's fit and on form, he is our 2nd choice behind Biglia.

Monto might not be good in this game, but unless he has a 3/10 performance, the team should be good enough to win. Monto is gonna get games in this season, we will survive guys.

Nagging about Borini is because he keeps starting. He's been decent but it's a player who shouldn't be anywhere close to being a starter for AC Milan. He's been brought here to be a backup player. Would rather have Andre Silva and Cutrone togheter on top with Suso behind in a free role if we're not getting any LW and as we do not have a good LW atm.

As long as Monto keeps starting the bitching will continue, and there's a reason for that. Or do you rather everyone having the same opinion in a forum where everyone is staying positive regarding everything?

In the end I'm sure everyone wants the best for Milan, and with people accepting Monto as a starter then I'm afraid that's not the case, or else you're blind.

@Elie

But we already know all there is to know about Borini and Monto so how does repeating the same thing game after game gonna change or help the situation ?

You're right, it's not gonna help as it's Montella's decision in the end. But it's still a forum, and unfortunately alot of things will be brought up repeatedly for discussion and so we can share our thoughts.

Yes starting in the coppa or EL, not in our decesive and main focus games in Serie A. Again, I would still rather have Andre Silva - Cutrone with Suso behind and Locatelli starting. I have no problem with Borini staying with us, but not as a continued starter.

Can we talk about Monto against Craiova then?

You know...the team which is better than the farmers of Macedonia?

You honestly dont think Monto fucks up our playing style and rhythym. Dude litwrally takes 5 mins to make a pass which in turn fucks up our shape and puts players out of position. Not to mention his bs long balls to nowhere and passing the ball backwards when he is even slightly under pressure.

The dude is fucking done. I dont mind him starting against Cagliari but if he puts up another BS performance his fans better shut up.

Altertnatively, i do hope he has a good game. But he will need to pull a string of good games before he has me convinced.

:thumbsup:

Cagliari play very narrow and without wingers so i'm thinking Conti and Rodriguez are going to have a LOT of time on the ball. Looking forward to seeing lots of overlapping runs, hopefully with Suso and Borini pulling the fullbacks inside to make space.

We're going to be making all of our attacks from the wing, as usual, but this kind of game is where our investment in quality fullbacks will be rewarded.

I think Montolivo has a problem with expectation. With Italy and when he's with Bonucci or Pirlo he doesn't have that expectation that he has to lead and make all the moves. He plays it simple and does his job well without overthinking and messing up.

I think we should give him a few more chances before we dump him. We're pretty much stuck with him for a couple of years so we need to make the best of it and hopefully the lack of expectation and the weight of the captaincy being removed changes him.

Montolivo will do well tonight, he has shown some good form in pre-season. I bet he will get at least a hockey assist. :D
