The manager that I don’t think gets mentioned enough to replace Pioli is Klopp. Always talks about how Sacchi is his inspiration for everything he does. Liverpool went through a very similar situation as us and helped build up at Dortmund so I think he’d fit into our project very well. Plays similar formation and tactics. Good with younger players and seems like his cycle at Liverpool could be over. He’d be at the top of my list and then De Zerbi

For a very good reason, dude is on top 10 highest paid managers list.

Would we hire a manager that costs way more than our star player?

Would the owners all of a sudden open the check books to start buying players matching the ambition of hiring a top 10 highest paid coach?

I'm sure Pioli had sleepless nights from tuseday till now coz he didn't start Rade. He will feel better now. Incredible stubborn fodder of a coach.
Four days after a legendary 2-1 win against PSG and Mbappe at San Siro?

You're a gatekeeper of logic on this.

I thought the Pioli hate would subside a little after that lionheart win in CL but what do you know.

One day we will have a coach that's not Pioli, and many people will have wasted years of their RnB lives screaming for his head instead of being thankful for his soldiering for DaPlan.

Bro I loved the 2-1 same sa you did. But come on there's no need to touch the midfield. Musah is 20 he doesn't need a ret.

The ":proud:" emoji always makes me a little uncomfortable. It's like "are you trying to be cute here?" "You're not my father" "are you really proud of this"

I sometimes employ it myself and reflect on what the receiver makes of it.

I don't get why you're so critical of Rade seeing minutes.

He has many, many very good Milan games under his belt.

The fact that he’s uncomfortable on the ball is way more exposed as a lone dm, plus he’s recovering from injury.

Though in a double anchor, he’s expected to perform better.

Is this confirmed?

Resting RLC isn’t the worst thing he got fouled a lot and played an intense 90 few days back and he was just coming from an injury. We do need to manage his fitness better.

Although I don’t like Pobega and Krunic both , I’d rather move one of them and add adli in there.

I guess Reinjnders will play CAM then

I think Krunic will be the 10 and Pobega in midfield but who knows, Loftus should be nothing too bad just fatigue

he rescued a point for us here:

If you can’t even rotate him against sides like Lecce then he’s not good enough for the squad, otherwise these are the exact games players like him are expected to get their run so our starters can take a breather and heal from minor aches and pains

Alright I’ll be honest, did not realize that he was paid that much. Good lord that’s crazy. I thought it would be around 8-10 mil but he’s making almost double that. Well De Zerbi it is then for me. I hope Pioli finishes out the year strong but I’m a believer that his cycle with us is over and we need to move on to someone with new ideas to take us to the next level.
