Yeah, sure but the fodder that M&M stacked is mostly cheap / free fodder. They didn't spend 200 mil on the fodder like Mirabellend!
Yes but it’s still laughable given his comments about them in the past. Also, he’s handed out too many lucrative contracts to players who contribute nothing to the cause e.g. Florenzi, Origi, Baka + Ibra.

He also doesn’t have a clue how to sell players and has allowed too many quality players to leave without collecting a dime. After winning the Scudetto, last summer was the PERFECT opportunity to shift fodders like Salad + Pobega at an inflated rate yet he failed to do so and now their values have dropped.

It's not the worst comment. But I disagree about not turning around. The team is routing and must turn around to face the front line again. If we are to go out we must go out on our shields. Not perform like we did against spezia today.

Bringing out Theo and then Tomori while we’re not comfortably winning was really weird.
Starts B Team against relegation fodders to rest A Team - fails to score. Subs in A Team - ends up losing the game.

Rinse and repeat.

If your A Team can't break down the opponent, what gives you the idea that your B Team is going to do any better?

What is he saving Theo and Tomori for, to minimize the damage by conceding as few goals as possible on Tuesday night?

If you wanted to push even further up the pitch with an even higher backline, maybe you should take out the 36 yo CB, not the guy who's specialty is pace.

What really made me lose all hope for bioli was seeing Adli get subbed in.
It's not that I didn't want him in, I've been begging for this, but it basically confirmed to me that bioli has given up.
Adli in is basically bioli saying, "fuck it, I'm all out of ideas. Might as well throw in Adli. It's not like he is going to make matters worse".

Too much talk about Leao since before the first leg that Inter will make sure he doesn’t breathe and is double marked at all times. You should not expect Leao to carry us on Tuesday. We need a great team performance for us to have any chance of making history. I don’t expect much from Leao at this point in the tie

Bennacer is a big loss. Set pieces is my only hope. Let Tonali play them all and hope for headers. But first we have to keep them from scoring more

The players clearly lacks conviction and belief. Perhaps if there were clear playstyles/schemes imprinted there would be something for the boys to fall back on. I'm not sure what schemes they are practicing because it more often than not looks like there is none, which however might be due to the player's complete lack of belief and the piss in their pants. This would mean Pioli isn't that good of a motivator after all. Has to be one way or the other. I was hoping becoming champions would create champions but we've regressed and now everyone knows the abyss could always be around the corner.

going back to the dart throw at the carnival logic:

You don’t get as many throws, and you have a relatively inexperienced dart thrower, throwing a not so nicely made dart and you limit him to only certain targets.

Can’t really blame the noob dart thrower or the shitty dart he got.

Yes, exactly a club like Milan should be able to buy at least a few 25 mil plus players in a mercato not just one. And then some of them will click and some won't.

At the same time, Adli looks like a player who wouldn't be a missed dart if the coach used him. Thiaw also looked like a missed dart when Pioli wasn't using him for months.....

It doesn’t help that Pioli pretty much alienated half the team. Most barely play so how can you rely on them when they’re needed. He stuck to his favorites and one formation and look where it got him, likely out of a job.

Currently 61 points, with 3 matches to go.

Thats insane. And you have to consider that this is the team that only last year won the Scudetto

Yeah sure, but I don't think any serious club was interested in Salad... DId any decent offers come for him? Zlatan this year was only on around 1.5-2.5 mil contract plus bonuses ( which he won't get ). Origi is a fuckup as is Baka. But overall it isn't a huge amount of money lost. It's not like Arsenal losing Aubameyang and Lacazette for free after spending around 120 mil on them! And Arsenal could still go and buy Gabriel Jesus and challenge for the EPL title. You need to spend serious money as a top club.

Gazidis was our lucky charm. Dude left in Dec and we have been in relegation form since then.

Conte/de Zerbi. You really can’t find two coaches any further on the exact opposite end of the spectrum.

too many great players to list but if pushed all time favorite player: Maldini
Every player has to rise above this defeat. Their morale and their best form is needed in the final games. Today was embarrassing but they are better than what we have seen today.

Forza Milan ⭐⭐❤️🖤🏆

It’s very simple for me. We need more bodies in midfield. Switch to 4-3-3 and sign a midfielder, a right winger and a number 9.

Guys like Saele and Diaz won’t get us anywhere. Wish we could get 3 players form Juve. Would solve everything imo

Pogba
Chiesa
Vlahovic

Yeah, but I thought the comment was alright. And I think the Curva conversation was a good thing.

Players need to wake the fuck up. 11 leoni.

In Serie A Conte is like Spalletti, is a guarantee for top 4 and fighting for the scudetto.

Really? Thiaw has had maybe one poor game so far, and mostly great otherwise.

Kjaer has been solid the last couple of months, but has had a few aboslute blunders and was not good after his return from injury.
Tomori has had some shocking performances, and even frequent at times.
Kalulu has had his faults as well, some big mistakes.
Gabbia is Gabbia. I don't need to say anything there.

The two of Tomori and Kalulu have regressed a lot sadly from last season. I'm sure they can get back to their best, but who would you say has been better than Thiaw overall?
yes, really.
he had blunders in many games that could have cost us. his defending is still shaky and that's understandable considering where he comes from and how young he is.
he's already sitting on 5 yellow cards in just 1.000 minutes of playing time. for comparison: tomori has 5 in 2.400 minutes. this implies his frequently undisciplined defending.

all things considered, kjaer was our best defender this season, as sad as that may sound:fp:
tomori and kalulu had a world class form over 5-10 games at the end of last season. that's why i've always said we have to wait until tomori confirms it over a whole season. he was considered better than de ligt last summer.

Fuck you! How can you throw Milan top 4 away for CL since you already screw up the 1st leg.

In my 33 years as a Milan fan I have never been so disappointed with a manager.

MMM are in an awkward situation. Firing Pioli would mean putting all the blame on him. But they know they’re the ones that convinced him that the likes of Origi, CDK, Pobega and Vranckx can be useful and can help him rotate the team.

I don’t think Pioli getting fired is a given even if we don’t make the CL.
