Zero expectation coming into a Sunday midday fixture away from home and they still suck ass

I've watched two games with a close friend who wanted to see why i loved Milan so much - Benevento and now Verona.

Its beyond shameful. Never felt more apathy for this team until now.

this is what happens when you don't take your chances. I can't fault gattuso for anything other than subbing rodriguez instead of calabria at half time. We didn't take our chances and made defensive errors, so we were punished.

We lack finishers, and creators, and dynamism.....this is not something that we are discovering now.

loosing suso for 3 games most likely is going to be a huge problem

whyyy 3 gamess

I'm still trying to comprehend how they spent 200 mil and somehow managed to make the team worse.

In hindsight I would've kept last season's fodder and just bought Auba, Bonucci, Ricardo, Kessie, and Conti.

Looks like a much stronger team albeit our depth would've still been shit.

Its not really hindsight now is it? Its simply common sense something that apparently Milan's management lacks these days.

When you're in a shit situation for many years, both financially and success wise, you don't go throwing around your limited budget on mediocre players who never really shined at their club, and hope for the best.

tbf Kessie, Conti, Bonucci, and even Biglia seemed like very good signings. While I do admit I had hope for Hakan, him Kalinic, Musachio, and especially Andre Silva for that price were gambles.

:star:

Our depth is actually worse this season.
We had Ocampos, Delofeu, Niang and even Honda on the wings.

This season we have Borini. :proud:

Also, in midfield. We literally have no backup for Kessie. Last season we had Kucka.

That scoreline can't be real. What a crap team this is. Sell everyone.

When I heard that Hellas Verona was resting their starters for the coppa Italia game I thought, does it really matter?. How wrong I was after checking the result at work.

Not to mention when Billy Costacurta states that when he watched the game it looked like 2 teams fighting relegation just summarizes how bad we are playing.

Leave Borini, Calabria, Montolivo, Kalinic out of the team and we're 100% better. Can't play with this nonsense.

We did that and so far Biglia, Silva, Abate and Hakan where as bad or often even worse.

Montolivo was the worst player but at least he ran off the pitch when he was subbed. Kalinic doesn't want to be here. Silva walked straight off after the final whistle. Didn't shake with teammates or opposition or anything. One of the two will certainly be gone in one month.


good update :thumbsup:

Well what the hell happened here.

We're creating loads of great stories lately. Benevento equaliser. Beating a team and losing to them 3-0 within 4 days.

We were really good in the opening 25 minutes and looked threatening.
Then disaster.
