When is FIFA 18 coming out so I can fix Montella's shit and Make Milan Great again?

3-5-2 Day one, Borini, Montolivo and Calabria go straight to reserves.

Cant you sell them?

Montella is not going to success. I've been saying this long time ago.
even his tactics doesn't work in matchday 2 (vs Cagliari).
not only his tactics, how he choose the starting XI (vs Lazio) was ridiculous, and then he blamed the team for lack of mentality.. fighting mentality?? from who? Monty-Calabria-Borini ? seriously?

we will not win scudetto with him, perhaps we might not get ucl spot as well.

I don't like Raiola but I hope he continue to criticize us, if the chinese look at the bright side, his critics actually help this project. I hope the chinese owner angry and then said to F&M : "let's prove to this fat fuck that our project is serious... go get Conte or Pocchetino ! "

throw up material

Y'all are making it sound like we only lost the game because of Calabria!

Our ENTIRE team played like shit on Sunday.

If you're gonna judge, judge them all, or at least make an opinion when the team actually starts playing the way it should be.

Kind of hard not to place big blame on Calabria when he was at fault for 3 goals.

Well, I don't think his opinion is that obviously wrong though

Admitted, when I saw that we will start with Calabria over Abate I instantly thought "oh my I hope this isn't going to end in a disaster". And a disaster it was. But...

I defended Niang throughout months last season, believing he still could get the curve like Suso did after his Genoa spell (I remember that almost every Milanista considered him another failed Galliani-purchase back in the days). Some youngsters get hyped early and fail miserably (Boban Krkic), some players start slow and then get worldclass players within 1-2 seasons (Thiago Silva). Sometimes it's worth being patient.

I was wrong in Niangs case, as I learned after many months of defending him. Although I don't think that Calabria is better than Abate now, maybe he can turn out to be surprisingly good in a couple of years. At least if he doesn't keep playing FB, he's miserable defensively, even Abate is a saver bet than Calabria and Abate is one who has god knows many defensive flaws. We will see... it needs balls to defend Calabria over Abate and I simply respect that

Calabria would do better in a 352, even better than Abate. 4 at the back though, Abate is definitely the better option.

He was at fault, yes, but by no means was he the only one at fault.

The entire game was a massive fuckup from everyone involved.

Bottom line is, if you buy 10 starters, you need to play 10 starters. Not three and bring one as a sub. If Montella doesn't start playing them, they will never learn to play with eachothers.

We didnt sign 10 starters

Semantics

Kalinic Calanoglu Silva didnt start - Conti was hurt

He over estimated the situation but after the joy of signing many players in summer people wouldnt expect to see players from last season starting and suffering a heavy defeat.

Once again Calabria wasnt good but people keep saying three goals were his fault and scapegoating him. Penalty not his fault, Second goal volley not his fault - even when he got skinned (that one was all on him) two defenders missed Immobolie

Coach, two class defenders and league's best dmf all had part in a sole CF looking all world.... and for people to constantly paint this picture of just if Abate played :lol:

Thenebra · Sep 12, 2017

Pointless to talk about formation if montella gonna play with montolivo/calabria/borini.

These type of players gonna mess up any formation.

Play to our strenghts and obvious selection. It's not that hard.

You want to experiment? Sure, but not with lazio or any other mid-upper lvl team.

People still moaning about the Lazio game? Get over it, Milan get to beat on an Austrian team to ease the pain.

If you wish.But its ridiculous to see people say "we signed 10 new starters" Kalinic a €35m sub , Abate arguement as well.Theres a barage of posts with untruths to suit that posters thoughts.We're 3 games in we havent looked good but its too early to be all doom and gloom.The amount of players that were signed will take time to gel or nore than 3 games with 1 defeat to be bomb

I want to see Calabria play in a 3-5-2 before I dismiss him. Ideally, we'd send him to the Atalanta finishing school for troubled teens before getting rid of him--he's obviously showing talent to be given these opportunities.

I want him to succeed, because I love having home-grown players, but he's really done poorly.

I'd also bring back SES; rumors of him going to Fiorentina this summer, and if Eusebio doesn't want him at Roma, I'd take him back for depth, I think he'd be a low-cost option who could potentially thrive under Montella. I'm not saying he's built for 3-5-2 (even if he does work hard) but if we needed to have a winger, I think he'd be a good fit to grab in January, especially as I hope by then we'd be playing Montella 3-4-2-1 from Fiorentina.

papaberlu · Sep 12, 2017

Montella tested Suso beside Kalinic in the 3-5-2 formation in today's training, but Andre Silva-Kalinic remain the likely hypothesis [Sky].

nice

Milan need a more dynamic winger than SES if Montella were to go with a winger formation

Also he wasn't home grown and wanted to leave, so fuckem

Ricardo Rodriguez, Mateo Musacchio, Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Conti, Lucas Biglia, Franck Kessie, Hakan Calhanoglu, Andre Silva, Nikola Kalinic.

Okay, so we signed 8/9 starters.

3-5-2 is horrible in Fifa, 4-3-2-1 or something 4-3-1-2-ish works much better.

Then say that.Its 8 IMO and will take a bit to gel.Now if Montella persists with Borini Montolivo we'll suffer.But Id hope hes not stubborn.

I'm not expecting to see a cohesive unit this season. A team needs more than a couple of months to really function as one. That said, performances like the ones vs Cagliari and Lazio are not acceptable after a while.

I honestly thought that the performance vs Cagliari was worse than the one vs Lazio, difference is that Lazio had better players and were able to punish us.

I do think we're gonna make CL though. WE MUST!

Eclectic players dont need time to gel... we just need eclectic players.
