My fucking GOAT. He’s charming and has so much charisma. He’s literally unhateable.

Unless you’re satan… which @Wild is

I don't get all the criticism for Leao from the press about the Roma game. The entire team was flat and unable to break down Roma with enough consistency. I've criticized Leao as well in the past. But not sure he stood out as being worse than others on Thursday. Roma prepared well and the goal was not going to come from the wings. It was those in the center of the field that needed to break them down. There's been games where Leao had the opportunities and shit the bed. So criticize him then. But Thirsdays game was different. And I understand they have to sell a story, but with Leao, it never ends with "he had a bad game". There is always an extra dig in there and in continues for days.

In any case, the trend seems to continue. When we lose, Pioli and Leao always take the brunt of the force. When we win, Pioli still does (lol), but Leao is all of a sudden a Ballon dor contender.

Let's see what happens next week. It's Pioli's turn to "surprise" DDR. Let's see if he can do it. But I don't think it'll be a game where Leao can shine. They'll clamp up and close down the wings again. So I'm expecting Leao to be grilled again.

Its one of the two.
1. Racism.
2. People expect the best from the best.

Is this a new approach ?

Staying with the wrong woman is worse.
I stand corrected.

When I was a kid, my dad once said - talking about my mom - that marrying a woman better than you deserve is the best thing a man can ever do. I’m always thankful that I followed his advice. I know a lot of men who are smarter and better than I am who f’cked that one thing up. Their lives are terrible

How do you know this?????

How do you progress if you are afraid to change?
How do you advance if you believe being not good enough is ok and probably the best we can do?

Pioli won two seasons ago - since then we have been miles off the pace in the league and going backwards in Europe and your solution is to continue with him.
On this Steven subject, Curu is the only one I had a long back and forth with. And it boils down to that. This philosophical approach to things.
Proactive ā€œWe’re in shit, let’s try to get out of it ASAPā€ vs status quo / immobilism ā€œlet’s not move from shit because we can land in another shitā€.

In that situation, I don’t fuck with that mindset set.
My new activity is taking me too much time and hopefully I can start hiring a couple of people soon. And that would be one of the main shit I’ll test candidates for. ā€œDon’t make a move, because it might failā€ type of people. No.

Also those of that mindset seem to also have a view of picking a coach (other than top names) as some type of luck game.
That’s where management competence come in. They have to make sure to have the right profile for the squad and ambitions. And just as important, imo, they have the create right environment for thing to go well…and that’s why Steven himself, who was a serial failure before joining, had success here.

Everything in life can go wrong. You don’t stay in a situation with no real future in it because of that.

Where the F all the European DNA gone?

Small teams like Atalanta and Roma (last year) more potent in Europe than us during Bioli tenure. Its gonna be hard to brag about 7 CLs if we continue like this

You work on that DNA and maintain it.
Or like humans lost their tails…

I’ll stay if we have a 9/10+ mercato

If it’s Pioli + some fine as we are bullshit ima pull a patosheva real quick
It’s my experience that very often, greatly celebrated mercatos tend to be the only celebration of the season.

Last mercato was 8.5
You could ask why
Lets see
Rejinders in my books is lamost wc mid and he was bought for 19 mil
Rlc for 16 mil is joke he isnt starter for cl contender but for that money he is amaizing and scored 10 goals already
Pulisic for 20 fucking mil is just one of best deals in last 10 years for sure
Musah for his price is only ? Imo but he is young and has value
Chuck will be like new signing next year and he is alredy playing like we wanted him to play
Okafor for 12 mil is steal only his injurys are bad
