whats with Barcola's finishing?

Amazing how much work rate has the PSG front has

Inter can win this... They just need to unleash Arnautovic

Ok, this is pretty embarrassing

Inevitable PSG will get some counters now...

This is how a good striker-less system work. There's always a different man the center and CBs are lost cause they move so much.

Allegri himself is a good choice. Might be just what Milan need. But it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence that the same management will pick Fonseca and then the anti-Fonseca a season later (and a third thing in between). So last season was a sort of experiment in fashionable positional play...

My #1 beef was always the lack of experience in the management. They're all newbies in their roles and it showed, big time, this season. And I suspect it goes all the way to the dressing rooms. I would ideally sack one or two, or reduce the role of some people. Tare at least is a good choice...

It's really weird that for some reason all 3 stars of the team - Maignan, Theo and Leão - are having a subpar season. A lot of the blame fell on Fonseca for this but he's not here anymore and they're all yet to recover. Not to discount the mistakes of management and Fonseca but just imagine...

Fear not though! I have the right name to fix this mess:

The kind of player you buy with 20 M in the market nowadays are far from the top of the class. They're either former big transfers currently struggling - like Puli - or rising and relatively unproven players in smaller teams/leagues - like Okafor, Reijnders or have contract situations like...

Monza is really over... Relegated and the Berlusconi's family want nothing with it judging by their summer fire sale (probaby that was just about balancing the books cause Silvio was running a big deficit there). Wonder what their floor is... Probably still mid table Serie B cause they've got...

That one is a R&B classic. From a dude that was called SodLod. Older users will remember

Gimenez has some great tools. He's a power forward but he has the skills of a second striker. And he also brains very smartly. Whatever happens to him it's great business from the management. Worse strikers moved for a lot more. Also one more reason to feel we dodged a bullet with Zirkzee.

Leonardo worked in Milan at a time when Silvio would run huge deficits out of his pockets. Then he worked for PSG, a club with unlimited funds - basically a luxury/prestige project of the Qataris. That's helps explain his shock that Italian clubs are owned by investors (just like 99,9% of the...
