Honestly, I think this is why Conte is my pick for the replacement. We’ve had a player’s coach for too long and now it’s time for these pussies to chew glass and spit blood.
I'll never tired of saying it

Teams reflect the manager

go out and get a leader enough of this shit

Yes, today was like the cronicle of a brainfart of the century foretold
I have seen the madness starting 11 confirmed and chose not to watch the game. Probably the first one I skipped since 2019...
Good decision for your mental health, bro. I didn’t see the lineup and turned the match on when we were 2-0 down and I noticed Calabria at DM and Musah at RWB with little Ben running around in his oversized shorts.

How does a manager watch the first leg in person, review the match hopefully a half dozen times, watch other Roma matches, and come up with a solution that massively weakens our starting XI from the first match?

What incentives do players have to get better when they know they can milk their current skill and seniority for better contracts though?

People don’t like hearing this but I think it’s pretty clear what players attitude about us as a club is. Little Algerian fucker can come from a relegated club and demand an exit clause and journeymen like Kjaer have no problems going public about his playing time.

It’s clear after scudetto some players think that they deserve to be paid after getting that on their resume. We need to be smarter about selling instead of holding on to false ambitions, that’s all I’m saying

And regarding Bennacer: he’s useless in all set ups now. With his knees gone he has no explosiveness which was what allowed him to get by players and make last ditch tackles. On top of that he’s never been the tidiest and offers very little further up the pitch. Sad to admit like you said earlier, we are losing money on him one way or another so just hoping for the best now.
I understand your opinion

we extended him to flip in few years but he has learned all the bad habits and broke down. I wish we extended cuck and kessie because there is no competition. Adli should have competed for his spot.




We need to bring some violence back to our squad.
So brutal like sacchi even van basten starts bitching to Berlu.

Come on man let him have few days, it is not fair. we have fired off so many jokes for months :D

I always thought paolo was a good sd I just remember he making galliani's life miserable so I just chuckle because like tyrion said Life is full of ironies.
Nah it's all love.

I am more in the Maldini camp. I would've kept him and got rid of Pioli but I understand the reality of the situation. Keeping Pioli was a half measure I didn't agree with and think he is only here because they are cheap.

They won't be able to hide this summer - all the pretty rhetoric meets action when the window opens.

I thought paolo was methodical shark and he was for sometime but as soon as he saw scudetto 19 his old cl dna under berlu started tingling and went for broke to get cdk.

Extended pioli like galliani took care of ancelotti after juve failure.

He forgot his patron wasnt modern day medici.

Roger Federer is the GOAT
Roma has greater pedigree than us in europa over the last 10 years.

Better team won

Watch Massaro defend this nonsense performance even though our squad is comfortably superior to Roma 😂

Who was the coach when Lebron won his ring in Cleveland. Fuckin Tyrone Lue a rookie fucking coach who was promoted from within. He's never one a chip since. Lebron overcame any coaching errors that rookie coach made with his talent and won the fuckin chip. So don't tell me you NEED a GOAT coach.

Also i'm not even taking about winning the chip, i'm talking about players beating a team that we believe they should be beating.

Who said coming out with NO coach, I said a sub-par coach...obviously there has to some sort of structure (you jack wagon) my point is talented players can also overcome bad tactics with skill. Our players aren't like that.

Nerves????? Really???? Nerves???? That's why time and time again these guys make bone headed, dumb plays and miss easy passes and tapins.

This nerve thing seems to affect our team far more than others.
I would sign tyrone lue over Pioli right now.

I think it was myself and @theduck7 that had a conversation a bit back about the lack of fight, heart, dog, in the team...

Everyone is comfortable, everything is ok... As long as we make top 4. That's literally been upper managements mantra, openly.

If that's the goal, why are the players going to go that extra mile when it matters?

Like tonight, or coppa Italia?

We've made things way too comfortable for everyone.

We are being beaten by teams that have more heart than us, are better set up, rather than teams being better man for man most of the time.

I dont think its the players. You can see after the first goal the drive is there to react to get back into it, but they just dont know how. Gabbia is all the way up the field, Calabria is playing CAM, Musah is playing on the left corner at times.

The drive is there, but the players are confused, like they dont know what their positions are or what their duties are. Its just not clear for them.

In no possible way did Pioli tell Gabbia and Calabria to push that high up at the expense of Theo. At least i hope it wasnt his idea. Imo they did it on their accord, and in order to keep defensive numbers Theo stayed back. Players just do and move where ever they want.

Its just silly to keep Pioli for 6 more games. Top players will loose interest and get poached by other clubs.

We had so much squad churn. No leaders. No strikers that means we have to overcome everytime we are a different team when we are leading.

Yeah I agree your points but I always say to improve little bit you have to work so hard but it takes absolutely nothing to regress.

If management can find a better coach and better players to win scudetto all power to them. I am not good at predicting, I can look back and come to a decent conclusion.

I am happy that we will be in cl next year though :lol:


Also we have a good run since December which folks can shit on I don’t care. I am just saying.

Berlusconi's helicopter & Galliani's golden tie
Pioli has done a lot of silly, inexplicable things in his time as manager, but starting Bennacer and Calabria in the midfield with Musah at RWB and Theo LCB down 1-0 has to be the dumbest decisions anyone has ever made.
I was dumbfounded at seeing this from kickoff, it was 5am so i thought i was still dreaming asleep 🫣🫣

I'm wondering if that dude behind pioli with the laptop and airpods is the one making these terrible squad decisions. Half of the times when the camera pans to pioli he is seen consulting with the guy. Theres is absolutely no way a sane experienced coach can think to experiment with the squad on such an important match.

Derby is going to be BRUTAL🫣

And you can say what you want about Allegri, But what he did with that Juve squad is far more impressive than what Pioli did with this Milan squad this season.

Still do not understand why Musah was not playing as DM and Calabria to be on his place .

This is the truth. 3rd place in group stage goes to el.

So why are we mad again?

Pioli reste it was just a friendly like ones we were playing when Carlo led us to 5th place in 2008
