With the way we play , leaving our defense completely unprotected on its own , I am not sure that we have actually a big problem there . I think that if at least one midfielder was assigned to such a task , probably even Kjaer will look not so bad .
I agree that it's been a tough year to be a CB at Milan, but to me two players are left with credit intact: Tomori and Gabbia. All the rest have either been very disappointing or injured.
Ironic that the best big game he coached (versus Napoli last year) was when he played a low block and countered with Leao

Are you really comparing a guy on the cusp of a top 5 achievement in the history of the sport to the guy who came out the gate losing 0-5 to Atalanta?Let's not act like hiring Alonso was Leverkusen planing to win an actual trophy
They were in danger of relegation when they hired him and he didn't even have experience at coaching a 1st team. I think the parallels with hiring Pioli amongst #PioliOut Tweets all over the global trending lists as some sort of caretaker only to see him winning the league title the next season with plenty of tactic analists being in awe of Piolismo and doing tons of videos of this new kind of mixed man-and-zone-marking are there. I can't be the only one seeing them?
Who knows if Alonso isn't going to live long enough to see himself become the villain too in a couple of years?
Alonso's blitz start in his coaching career is impressive, but he has yet a lot to prove before being compared to Pep or others who have won plenty and in subsequent seasons.
Yes, I agree with you. What I wanted to say is that we often compare our playing style with theirs, which is possession-based, short-passes, and great position on the field. As far as I remember, Milan never played a style that required perfect position and short passes, like Barca or City style. I see a lot of images on the internet, everyone pointing to where the player should be on the field, and I see from where their ideas come. There is not only one way of playing football.Let's not act like hiring Alonso was Leverkusen planing to win an actual trophy

Parejo turns 35 man. Rodriguez and dominguez arent that good enough for a cl team. Varela, ricci and Wieffer hmm not so sure
What does this have to do with his point though?
Alonso's been relegated? Lol n00b
If we beat Roma i am 100% sure we go past Leverkusen, just win at Roma. i saw Reijnders today and i told him the same thing, he said they will die on the field to beat RomaLeverkusen have the chance to win a treble without losing a single game.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if we are the team that denies them this historic achievement... a man can dream
Either way its a win/win situation till the end of the season - either we shit the bed and Pioli is gone or we win the Europa League (and hopefully Pioli is still gone).
Because the Pioli parallel made me chuckle
The guy is in line for the next Madrid job I think he'll be fine
Even Nike knows its their 19th scudettoInter next season kit. Awful
bring me potter
ok snape
It's probably a three horse race between Xabi Alonso, Klopp and Guardiola.
Honestly, I'd be okay with him, Chelsea is a shitshow and he was highly rated prior
I dont have any savings, jokes on you
