Top of the league. Udinese is a team that usually stifles us, that fucks with us, makes the game difficult, and we didn't just out-play them, but we decided to say "hey, you wanna play rough? Let's go." And we out-muscled them.

We have a lot of different ways to win. We have real depth. Yes, I think we need another CM and I want another CB (Diallo who can also play LB, my first choice)--but this is a very strong team, with lots of different looks.

We got our goals, cruised the rest of the way, should have scored more to be honest, but we're just shaking off the rust.

Yes, let's judge Pobega based on 10 minutes. Good strategy.
he plays really too heavy - if he is that slow then he is going to need to be much sharper and think quicker.

Not everyone had your upbringing. Access to farmers markets and water, are not a given, in many places--let alone educational opportunities, jobs, and others.
i taught gang kids in nyc from ghettos and they were surprised that i grew up more poor than they did. yet I still was able to gain access to these things because my whole family hustled for it. a huge reason why the working class struggles here is that they are addicted to consuming outside their income. but living a modest life on a low income and still live comfortable is easy to do here.

We have a luxury problem in the attack with Rebic - Giroud - Origi and Ibra.
Adli will play cm as backup.
Need a new rw, cm and cd

Lads, last season Diaz scored the winner in game 1 and we won the league.
I'm seeing a pattern.

Bring on Atalanta!

Superb game to kick off another Scudetto challenge, we showed great resilience despite Becao becoming Baresi after 2 minutes against us again :lol:

Was hoping for 5-6, but at least finally nice to beat these guys without sweating in the last minutes.

love the confidence, how the boys remained calm after being behind and equalized. no panic, everybody was like "no worries, we got this... goals will come soon enough"

I am so glad that we have depth on this team now. People coming off the bench aren't just fodderista anymore. I think our right side looks way better with Messias player more aggressively. I just hope we carry this through the season.
CDK looks so hungry! I don't know if it is just hype but damn do I see Kaka in him on some touches.

I've no doubt in my mind that on other game days, other players will step up to legendary levels as well.

The future is bright

Forza Milan per sempre!

Rebic and Bennacer - most underrated players on the forum.
Tomori - Most overrated.

Would've been nice to see Pobega get more minutes. Surprised he didn't come on much earlier. Given Krunic was on a yellow.

Udinese is a pretty bad match for Brahim, he was being pushed aroundby players 20~30kg heavier than him half of the time but on the other half he was playing a very smart and very energetic game. Man of the match was probably Bennacer but Brahim impressed and was decisive. Which is good for him cause CDK is a baller.

I'm glad that you were able to rise from your struggle to improve your life, you seem like a really cool guy, honest-to-God, and I admire you for your work.

I think you are ignoring some salient factors as to how you were able to rise up, quite frankly. Take care.

A great game on the attacking font especially by the likes of Rebic/Diaz but defensively we were a bit worrying. I’m sure Pioli will figure out a way though. I do hope we get another midfielder, that’s very important.

All in all, very happy with the start. We look so much better attacking and for me that is huge. attacking makes games more fun

Pretty clear why Pioli didn't want to sub him in earlier lol

Seems like this would be best. I don't like messias, cool story but he shouldn't be a starter on a team with ambition

A new CB must happen. Forget Kjaer, he is a chad but will never regain the physical requirements for top football.
Botman...fuck he'll be the most expensive cb in a few years. Charles will be worth 100m...Maldini is rarely wrong. If only Gerry gave him the $$
