We never lost in Europe against italian clubs then we have Inter 2023 and Roma 2024. Embarassing defeats, there is no way Bennacer and Giroud play from the start today and Chukwueze Reijnders and Okafor ride the bench. This season is over. Lose the derby 0 - 20 for what i care, Europa League was the only hope to save the season

Do we have a regista? No
Do we have a trequartista? No
Do we have CF who's not 35+? No
Do we have a settled cb pairing ? No
Do we have an inform gk? No

Why wouldn’t they fuck us through the center lane?

Roma sucks we lost against a much weaker squad, Bove, El Shaarawy, Svilar, Llorente. Lukaku and Dybala were out before the first half was over. We sure have holes in the squad still we have to beat Roma

Maldini’s biggest mistake. Giving this man an extension.

The writing on the wall is clear. Giroud is going to leave, Kjaer is going to leave, Bennacer is going to leave. We need 4 points to be in CL. I don't want to see them ever again in Milan shirt, let's play with the ones who are still part of this project

Out for a walk.
are you for serious? :lol:

Just how many times have we seen Theo overlap only for Leao to overcook the pass and give it away with Theo completely out of position on a counter?
Well, that's why I mentioned spacing. Most overlaps aren't at speed, and when they are, there's no space so Theo runs out of pitch.

My suspicion is that we've slowed the pace down and sought to press teams back in order to maintain our fitness and reduce all the muscle injuries we were having. This is fine so long as we're winning. Once we play a compact team with technical players (Roma), we're dead in the water. I'd

no room for sentimentality. just sell and reinvest.
I’m willing to give players like Theo a bit longer leash, despite him being a bit lazy at times. Bro really could have gotten more than 4m a year last go around.

“We certainly lacked quality, as aside from perhaps not creating very clear-cut opportunities, we did have situations in the box that we should’ve made more of. We should’ve made more of the fact they were down to 10 men, but we didn’t have the quality or determination to overturn a result like that after going 2-0 down.”

Better to lose decently 3-1 to Roma than to get assblasted by Leverkusen I guess 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’m not just picking this match.

When things don’t go our way, Theo tends to be demotivated and lazy. He struggles to get motivated in every single match.

Always been an issue with him and Leao.

And that’s a shame cause he and Leao our best players. But they don’t have that discipline.

He nearly got sent off today too. I think he touched the player harder it would have happened but luckily it was nothing
The only club that players need motivator, we brought Ibra because they cant play, Pioli writting cringe motivation quotes on the wall, putting Jordan Petterson on speakers because Leao and Theo cant wake up.
Maldini’s biggest mistake. Giving this man an extension.

They had the chance to fire him too, but they continued and they gave him power over transfer market, imagine giving this to Pioli

Same here, Theo is the only player who i wouldnt sell.

Otherwise if the offer is right ... get rid and bring in better players.

We lacked quality to beat Roma . Amazing observation .

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 understand what you are saying. Like messi or ronaldo. But we dont have that level of talent thats why coaching is important.

people forget we went 7 years without even making top 4
or they say things like “well those were under different managements”

As if rest of the world is standing still waiting for us to get our shit together and everything resets just bc we are under new ownership

You don’t need messi or Ronaldo to not keep crossing into stands to no one. Especially when you are chasing a goal.

Or to actually sprint when your team is in danger, not jog like you expect someone else to get it.

It's a common misconception that I such on Paul's cock...

I don't.

I appreciate what he brought and did for this team.

Posting a picture of him can be so decisive, it's almost trolling but not.

He also brought in a manager that the mighty Elliott went along with... This same country beating capital firm agreed to sack the manager after less than a year.

The new manager came in, turned things around, as part of management team...

Yes Paolo said he'd keep padre last summer... But after being butt fucked by inter and dropping out the CL, who really thinks Paolo wouldn't have sanctioned sacking Pioli???

The reasons we've kept Pioli seem to be about continuity and saving money... How has that worked out for us???

I use Maldini as the face of an idea, an thought process...

The amount of sucking off in here is really not directed at Paolo's probably beautiful cock... But at an American guy that so far has delivered absolutely NOTHING by my maths?
Therein lies the rub.
His interview came out in December, he was interviewed in November, when we were at our lowest point after a horrible month of football results and injuries.


Also to quote Paolo
The algorithms? "Not needed to acquire Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic, and Chukwueze: just use the money a company that finally generates 400 million deserves. You can't compare the last four transfer windows with the last one; we had different resources. Sustainability? With Boban and Massara, it was stimulating to cut wages by 30%, renew the squad, and increase its value with a championship and 3 years of Champions, after 7 without."
He approves RLC, Chuk and would not have sold Tonali.

I love Paolo for his contributions to Milan, but he's not infallible.
No amount of whataboutism on Cardinale will change that.

Fair and I will agree with you, but if a shit team can beat us with most players not making it in this squad. I would think there is a tactical element that we miss. That was my point.

It's funny saying that we don't have quality or that managers don't change things when we just lost to Roma, twice, after they changed their manager.

We used to smack them around.

What changed?

It was the players who made the plan for Calabria to be a CM? Musah to be a RWB? Reijnders to be benched? Theo to stay back, Calabria to roam free, Gabbia galloping forward as he pleased?

Give me a break. Deflecting about players and their effort when Pioli is being consistently shown to be a stubborn moron who doesn't even use the things he used to do well.

Napoli in the CL was such a smart approach, why not use it again? Why?

I think our players tried hard, it didn't work, but they ran, they were committed in the tackle, the plan was just horrific.

Carlo puts his players in the position to succeed. Part of that is temperament and people skills, and it seems Pioli has that, but the other side is tactical.

He was down 1-0 not 4-0 and he went with a terrible game plan that made it seem like if he didn't score in the first 5 minutes we'd die. There was no need to do what he did.

You can talk about transfers, Bennacer, Maldini, deflect as much as you want. Roma is not City. It's not even Inter. But he finds a way to make other teams look impressive despite having quality in his squad.

He doesn't have a DM? Inter play with Hakan, Mkhi, and Barella as their CMs. They are well drilled and his team defends as a unit, like Real, like Bayer, like fucking Bologna who rely on Salesmaekers lol.

Today was the ultimate Pioli flourish. Our best midfielder arguably this season is on the bench. Is he using Musah to protect Theo and Leao's side like he did against PSG? Nope. Calabria as a CM with Musah RWB slash RM, leaving Gabbia isolated.

Today was so plainly about tactics, I genuinely don't understand how you can talk about squad quality when Bove and El Sharaawy were there. Celik, Mancini, and Smalling are suddenly world beaters?

Pioli has been wasting the players at his disposal for the last two years.

Bennacer, Maignan and Loftus can leave for he right amount of money, also i had enough of Calabria and Giroud, Tomori is not playing well at all too. Maignan is not guilty but his percentage of shots saved is brutal and he gets hurt too much for a GK

Great reform needed in Defense. But I wouldnt pull plugs on Tomori and Mike. Even Calabria was putting up good defensive games under a different setup.
