If you want Milan to have the defensive record of a relegated side then just say it.

I'd actually like to see this. Looks really nice.
Though I'd switch positions on Musacchio and Duarte

The state of that right side...
If we don't buy a RB and RW in January we're fucking up.

Roma is not better than Milan at the moment. If we play a smart game we can clinch the 3 points.
I would go for 1-3-4-2-1
Donnaruma
Duarte
Mussachio
Romagnoli
Conti
Bennacer
Kessie
Theo
Calhanoglu
Paqueta
Piatek
Subs to come on:
Krunic for Conti
Biglia for Bennacer
Leao for Paqueta
End the game playing 1-4-3-1-2

You clearly don't watch our games.
As of this season Leao has been our best attacker.
Followed by Piatek, who, last game aside is going through a slump.
Followed by Paq (tempted to say Hakan but last game aside he's been trash), who has been extremely inconsistent and has given the ball away more than he's done anything useful.
Conti has put on the worst performances for the season. Calabria, who is crap will be MILES better
and Krunic is not a RB
I'd like to see a simple with a 4-4-2
The only experimental role is Rebic at RW

Dear god ppl still fielding Conti & Suso.
Krunic deserve to start & the same for Ptek.
Hakan should be tried as a RW since Suso is shit.... no for Hakan as a mid.
We need to adjust in a way to cover our RB.
So playing with a back three could be it.
Or just try out players there.
Duarte.Musa.Roma.Theo
Krunic.Big.Benna.
Hakan.Ptek.Leao

We should definitely stay with 4-3-3/4-2-3-1, the only obvious change to me is Calabria instead of Conti.
Biglia vs Bennacer is debatable, right now Biglia offers more in that specific role but Bennacer obviously has the future on his side. Against a difficult opponent I'd start Biglia. For me Bennacer is not a suitable substitute for Kessie who covered a lot of ground in defense and actually played quite smart, he just has a better mind for those duties than for attacking.
I don't share the hate for Suso, he played well in attack with a very improved off ball movement and contributed some nice passes from the second row and some good shots (where should have attacked the rebound more).
His defensive contribution was lacking but I'm personally willing to accept that he is not the type of super athletic player that can provide attacking on-ball contribution, off ball movement and backtracking with the same intensity and Pioli`s system is suited to give him some freedom.
At this point I think it makes more sense to keep one of Piatek and Leao on the bench but starting with Leao as a LW and one of Hakan or Suso as RW would be doable. Rebic and Samu are out of the equation for me, they don't really give any signals that would warrant a start, I wouldn't mind giving one more minutes as a substitute though.

I'm not sure that Calabria is better than Conti. Calabria is just stupid, getting himself sent off for lazy defending, and on the ball he always picks the wrong pass. Conti although an idiot in his own special way, I feel can add something more as a right wing back. He is better in motion than Calabria and in that position you dont need to worry about him defending inside the box.
Hakan is better than Paqueta at the moment, the latter only gives 30 mins of effectiveness, he seems like a better option coming off the bench at the moment, but perhaps pairing him with Hakan behind a CF would be the best for him.
Leao is better than Piatek but Piatek is more clinical, with the formation I mentioned, Piatek should start because it focuses a lot on the contribution of the wing backs and their crosses, it needs a player who finishes with one touch. I would like to see Leao and Piatek the same time eventually, especially when the game opens up and you get chances.
We need 3 CBs at the moment, we are too exposed at the back. Our full backs do not cover the space so good and Musacchio does not win duels. Our midfield is not creative anyway so you might as well stack it with ball winners and shoot it out to the wings or to the attacking minds. In the formation I mentioned you have the wing backs and two attacking midfielders as quick counter attacking options.

Calabria is not in the best form of his life but compared to Conti he is miles better in defense and even attack. Conti was always a bad defender but he really lost his spark in attack and that was his saving grace, he isn't an extremely talented or well rounded player to beginn with.
Also speaking about stupidity Conti takes the crown, I don't care what his agent suggested, not leaving on loan to get back in form was a crazy decision that hurt himself and hurt the club. Also he is really weak mentally, that handball during last match can happen but he completely lost it afterwards, rarely have I witnessed such a breakdown from a player.
Calabria needs some proper coaching, maybe some tough love and real competition, but writing him off is crazy at this point, that's just wanting to see heads role.
3 at the back helps when your defenders are better in 1 vs 1 than in tactical defending, that's not the case with most of our CB's, Duarte I can see doing well in 3 at the back but Roma and Musa are 4 at the back defenders typ wise in my opinion. It is also not automatically more secure unless you play it as a 5 at the back and sacrifice a bunch of attacking potential.
Furthermore I see no point in pampering Theo in playing him as LWB. He is talented guy who needs to learn some defensive discipline, not a one trick pony like Conti. Let's develop him into a great LB instead of giving him the easy way out.

Calabria is miles better than Conti and the difference in defensive ability is even larger.
Conti is an open door. I'd be more reassured with injured Pato playing RB than Conti in the defensive phase.

Buhooo he got a red card in the 90' minute and a second yellow in a match full of cards in the 79' minute, don't exaggerate that shit. He doesn't get many cards overall, actually that were his first straight red card of his career and his second yellow-red card , he just has a bad series this season. That happens and usually sorts it self out.
Not fielding Calabria at RB is laughable.

It's only maybe laughable because the other RB sucks now too. Milan needs an upgrade.
