Hopefully with a new commode we can put Suso behind us once and for all

More than 2nd striker, the team needs a proper playmaker. Either that or another winger if there is going to be switch to 4-3-3. Probably best to get someone who can play as a winger and as a playmaker.

Btw Hakan barely shoots at goal under Giampaolo. Proves that Gattuso was forcing him to, as he himself said. Suso on the other hand doesnt seem to be controllable in that sense. Still does the same things he does in all formations.

Most important positions in our current formation are trequartista and fullbacks.

Suso isn’t one and we only have one full back who is injured.

It’s very early to give predictions, we need 3 players.

It's hard to find space for shoot when you're regista. :o


Btw, from Rom/Musa with 90+ successful passes, we have Borini with 16 and Suzu with 23. Then Samu with 18 and Piatek with 6 (SIX!!!). :lol:

So, it's 63 passes between FOUR offensive players. And then, 39 passes between Suzu and Borini...it's not that good stats even for one midfielder.

Well Kessie played like 15 mins

RR's only passes were back to Dollar or Capitano

Makes complete sense

suso’s crosses from the center of the pitch were fantastic

The left side of our team was almost unable to attack.

This was the positioning with Rodriguez and Paqueta staying more behind, and in attack Suso & Samu changing position.

@MilakMB do you feel like a jackass after telling everyone in the commode they were idiots for questioning Giampaolo?

Fucking starting Hakan and Borini out of position over Bennacer and Kessie. Starting Samu over Leao or even Silva. If we win the next 37 matches, I’ll still think that’s some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.

Anyway, sometimes the commode knows better than professional managers.

Antone feel that 4-3-1-2 is a outdated formation? This formation requires an elite AM(Kaka) for this formation to be effective. All the opponent need to do is man mark Suso and that limit the ball to the strikers.

Any other top team uses this formation?

To be fair, Rodriguez and Calabria are crap going forward, so that makes the 4312/4321even more ineffective. You have to have FBs bombing up and down the flanks like Serginho and Cafu back in the day.

Today has nothing to do with the formation, it was all on GP being an idiot and handicapping the team with shit players + the general shitty quality of our players.

Its a specialist formation... as you point out, it needs elite players to work out.

I’m convinced giampaolo very rarely watched milan before becoming our coach

If we can find a way to bring James and Correa in that would be massive, and if we could figured out a way to get Auirer on top of that it would be the icing on the cake.

I think
Donna
Auirer-Musacchio-Roma-Theo
Kessie-Bennacer-Paqueta
James
Correa-Piatek

Is a team that qualifies for the CL, and actually has a couple players on the bench that can contribute.

Plus, if Piatek continues to struggle, we can try Leao in that role

All midfield except regista need to roam around looking for space, yet our midfield static as fuck creating not a single passing option.

When our paqueta, borini and suso doesnt move around, the midfield become congested. At one point i saw borini, paqueta and hakan with ball just walking in the middle of pitch. Fucking WALK. Can you believe this shit?

That’s how they played under Gattuso and it was to me the most frustrating thing about Gattuso’s teams. Static, lazy, carefree meandering through matches. When teams are defensive you have to WORK to get open, and we haven’t done that in years.

I just want to say fuck u to our plsyers. Straight forward fuck you. Except Roma, Donna, Calabria who tries hard and Piatek who is no.9. And Paqueta and Benna. The rest can go to hell

Calabria was the worst player on the pitch but ok...

Piatek doesnt suit the 4312. Just like all the rest of our players.

With another tactic like 433 4231 and another coach he already scored in pre season.

Piatek scored 19 for Genoa in 6 months playing alongside other striker.

A reminder that Sarri started his 1st season with Napoli like this. I will not say anything more than that, just a food for thought.

Those are the only 3 games he used 4312, switched to 433 immediately after that and won 5-0 against Lazio, 2-1 against Juve and 4-0 against us in Milan in 3 weeks.
