I was right to want more 442 and it seems like Miha is coming to the same conclusion.

Monto-De Jong need to play together in CM to maximize the effectiveness of both players. Monto can't survive alone in CM and De Jong is ineffective in possession.

We don't have a good AM and in a 4312 everything depends on him.

Those two details kind of force our hand into playing either a 4231 or a 442. Since our strongest players are our attackers and we don't have ANY real wingers, we're basically stuck with a 442.

The great thing is that Balotelli plays like an AM in the forward position. He won't be stepping on Honda's toes and he'll have the freedom to roam.

I'm expecting this 442 to be a pretty narrow one, meaning it's not a traditional 442 where the full backs stay deep and the wingers hug the touchline. Bona/Berto/Honda/Kucka would be the options for a RM/LM that would cover for the fullbacks but cut inside more often than going out. Balotelli would occupy the opposition fullback while ours overlaps and the side midfielder cuts in. In that case, expect the Inzaghi method of having the wingers playing in the opposite flank of their best foot (to cut and shoot). So Berto/Honda RM and Bona/Kucka LM.

Would have been nice to have El Shaarawy to give us more options on the left flank, though. Betting the house on 4312 and not having a plan B was a risk and it failed.

what planet are you from? monto and dejong playing together = garbage.:fp: :fp: :fp: :fp: :fp: :fp: :fp: :fp: :fp:

For me, if he gets EL = success

despite the money spent, you cant expect a coach to turn around this fodder in 1 season

nothing short of UCL is a success for this team. imo inzaghi did a better job in his last games where he put de jong with van ginkle and poli. I don't know why mihajlovic wont just put poli and kucka with Montolivo and not bother with other shit we have

Dont agree, at least sinisa is trying to implement a style of play with romaglani at CB (young cb that could shape our defence for years). I think EL is decent for this year

Then Bee can help us invest and we can use youngsters like niang and suso in EL for games

Top-12 finish will be acceptable for me. Also now I am a strong advocate of coach retention for minimum 3 years. While hiring coach, if you do not think that he is The Coach for next 3 years, do not hire. In fact I believe modern milan does not need a coach. If modern milan plays without a coach, it may produce similar results as it does with a coach. This idea can be tried.

Poli?

Our best midfield is Bonaventura-Monto-Kucka

Bar injuries, thats the one that should always start

Poli is better off from the bench. He can barely last 45 minutes let alone 90

Bonaventura is a #10 for me. I say Poli because I'm a firm believer milan needs two runners to give room to Montolivo to control the game. inzaghi did the same thing more or less which is why he had good results in the end of his tenure with van ginkle poli and de jong. de jong of course cant do the Montolivo role as well, but van ginkle and poli offered kilometers to give de jong space

lol. We haven't won a single away game with Poli in 2015.
Pippo did win twice with Bonaventura-DeJong-VanGinkel though.

Bona is the better LW and CAM, but also a better CM than Poli. Poli is simply inferior and should be happy if his old team want him back for depth.

Any reason that Miha is seemingly starting Anto on the bench again or is it just because Luca came back from injury ?

Anto really needs to to be at LB for Napoli match , DeS or Calabria for RB.

Pippo would play Bona as a LW with Pazzini in the centre and Honda/cerci/Suso on the right...

Pippo played Bona as LW, RW, LCM and RCM.
He used a different lineup every week.

He was a CM in the two away games I referred to. The only away games Pippo won in 2015.

clearly not watching any games this season

could say the same about you and the games this season as well as last season.

if you cant see any improvements you need to take off that stuck-up, pubescent-tinted, menstruating colored sunglasses that you're wearing you know.

no football and inconsistent football is clearly two different things.

wait...before i get into numbers shall i teach you to count from 1 to 10? perhaps how to add as well?

i can never be sure of what you know these days. you offer very little to go on in each post.

Ridiculous starting with Zapata & Ely, both of them horrible. Just giving them the ball, gifting them a goal.

Alex/Mexes should be a million miles ahead of both, should be obvious to anybody, heck selling Paletta & he again is far superior to both.

point of no return
fuck the4 4-3-1-2

pls play 3-5-2 or 4-2-3-1.

we need to flood the midfield with players to make up for the lack of passing, this team is atrocious, its painfull to watch

Sarri was a MASSIVE gamble that was either going to be a complete failure or a huge success for Napoli... The man is a genius and this is coming from someone who was against him coming here

The main difference is that Sarri has taken the players under his wing and id coaching them to the T. Hamsik looks better with doing less, Koulibaly who last season was a walking disaster has improved a lot.

In this game all the players under Mihajlovic have looked completely amateur especially Bonaventura who I do not know what the fuck has he been doing for the whole game.

Well, my first instinct was right. Fucktardovic was always going to be a disaster. :lol:
I don't even know why I started to like him after the two wins vs Palermo and Udinese.

Admit it, we all knew this man is a complete piece of shit coach. What did we all expect of Mr. 38 win percentage? The ONLY thing Sinister has as a coach is his personality and it's probably the only reason we hired him. We needed someone who raised the morale of the team and gave them motivation to fight. It has failed miserably. All we see is a slight improvement of Bibbos Milan, which is definitely not enough, and this is a kind of case which will not get better...

People laughed when we got linked to Sarri. I don't even know why, because he coached Empoli or what? :lol:
Dude is a genius and we should have got him.

After a 4-0 loss at San Siro, Sinister should just get fired, it won't work from now on here. And this loss should be a motivation to atleast win the 5 or 6 upcoming matches. If we don't win all of those, then Sinister should get the sack if he doesn't now.

why not? stubborn with a formation that's clearly not working, bibbo had a much better start with 0 investment, 91 million on players he requested/or at the very least gave an OK. freezing out mexes for zapata who is by far our worst defender.

I'd say he's the only coach in the past years who we can clearly blame because even if I hated our mercato this team should not have a 3-4 start and lose 0-4 to a team we beat comfortably last season with a supposed far worse coach and an inferior squad.

Sack sack sack

It's incredible how Galliani always manages to take the wrong decision. There were two unproven, midtable Serie A coaches available in the market and he went and chose the wrong one. Utter disgrace, bald fuck needs to be kicked out.

The players + galliani are a bigger problem than the coach atm.
