People advocating "not just Pioli fault". Its Atalanta, Roma, Bologna teams he was absolutely outplayed. Must be better squads
He wasn’t outplayed, the players on the pitch were outplayed
The coach is on the sideline pal
Coach is not allowed to enter the field and join the play

Is he back in form?
I thought sari was bad in Chelsea and juve.

We didn’t hire pioli he came here to be caretaker till ragnick then he stayed for 4.5 years :lol:

I have no idea about coaches I hope we sign somebody really good.

I have ptsd with managers when it comes to Milan. I have so low expectations with pioli just qualify for cl :lol:

I dont think he is in any kind of form. Everytime I see him I think he looks like hes gonna have a stroke in 5mins :lol: he did solid with lazio though and I do believe that at his peak he was a much better coach than Pioli ever was.

Pioli really milked his Milan adventure to the fullest :lol: compliments for that, his back was against the wall from the start.

But these performances make me miss Leonardo and Dinho island :lol: at least that was fun. Dinho camping, Borrielo volleying.

Don’t you say that Manchester cl game was the worst game I have ever seen. Greatest thing about that season was juve fans were burning their stadium.

Suma said there is no magic wand. We all say Pioli Pioli Pioli and he is our great alibi and responsible of all our errors but things will be hard next season too. We should not think that with Pioli gone then all the problems are solved. This squad lacks personality and many other things. Our management will analyze everything not just the work of Pioli

He's not wrong, kinda, but defending Pioli from being tactically outplayed twice within 7 days by a a coach who has only 3 months of Serie A experience is... very difficult. I give a lot of merits to De Rossi's Roma, but let's not fool ourselves, Pioli did his part too in making De Rossi look like a tactical mastermind.

The next few weeks are going to be crucial. Sending away Pioli at the end of the season will not be as crucial as with whom he'll get replaced with and how the squad will be completed. Only form there we'll get some much needed answers. Until then we're talking hypotheticals. That being said, keeping Pioli wouldn't solve a thing is a thesis I feel pretty confident expressing.

I agreed totally. The goal by Lazar Samardžić highlight your point. RLC not coming back to defend. Kjaer has to improvise to be a DM to stop Samardzić. Adil and Rejinders are out of position and they can't defend.
This goal sum up Milan season the best.
We should see if we can flip RLC and get him. I’d say it’s realistic for EPL team to pay us a couple more mil than we paid for him

Dudes alright as a stop gap but won’t ever go up in value to be higher than he is this summer

I watched the video of the 2nd goal and cant stop watching it.

Gabbia gained a lot of confidence, he really though he could win a physical duel with Lukaku🤣, he just send him back to Villareall🤣.

Joke aside, but Theo, i didnt expect that kind of mistake from him, i think there was no one in the box so Lukaku cant score from there.

Thread title never fails
We never fucking recovered from “Ragnarok”

It has been literal Ragnarok for us since: Raped by Inter in CL, Maldini crucified by a greaseball, raped by Inter again, didn’t make it out of group, embarrassed by Roma

Fuck when will it end

I want to publicly apologize to @nonsonoqui . He is an excellent mod. I was wrong on all the disagreements. I just realized it’s just built in us when we log in to drive mods absolutely crazy. Fucking Wesley knows us so he let everything slide.

Jesus fucking @Jasper should be given Nobel prize for peace

I choose not remember anything that happened in that tie after Ginger Scholes scored with his wrong foot and the ball tumbled in to the net.

Did we already land RLC by the time Samardzic's deal with inter had fallen through?

I've been on RLCs back most of the season, but I'll stand by opinion he's at best an impact sub and luxury player.

If there's an opportunity to flip RLF back to the EPL we should be all over that!

Ferguson from Bologna is a good pot on to replace Cheek as well.

Leao will do well in a team with other “stars”, like Psg, Chelsea and Man Utd.

The problem with him is, he thinks he is the best player here, and maybe he is kinda right. But you shouldnt think that way.
You need to play as a team
Without Rafa we would be shit

Clutch from Zeroli

Going ET

Zeroli can become for Milan what Bellingham is for Real. A mental monster and crunch-time player.

... but not with a coach like Pioli or Conte. You need a coach who trusts young players.

He (posters cousin’s family friend) said 1.5-2 years ago, milan management forced pato to seek treatment for same or else. Period he had 'undisclosed injury'. Leo period where he was with ronaldinho and generally looked lethargic at all times.

I find myself agreeing with people who say we should have tempered expectations, and I have when it comes to clearly superior teams like Inter. I don’t think the gulf is as huge as the derby humiliations of late, but, ok, let’s say they are better.

But I can’t accept losing to Roma over two legs in a tournament that could have redeemed us or at least allowed us to save face. This is a team we have pocketed routinely. We got huge helping hands in the Europa League. Slavia, Roma. And we were dumped by a club that is 5th in Serie A.

So, either the players who were good enough a few weeks ago to beat Roma are suddenly terrible or we are living thorough the umpteenth bad run of form under Pioli. This happens often—our form falls of a cliff during chunks of the season either through injuries or Pioli tinkering like yesterday. Sometimes the tinkering is a result of the injuries.

Anyway, I still think this team is good enough to be more competitive than it has been this season. Let’s see what happens this summer.
