Milan vs Atalanta / Serie A / Round 33 / Sunday, April 20 @20:45

Nah, no player is worth holding onto on this team, those days are long gone for this team.

If we turn down 75m offer then he absolutely has to live up to the price tag, talking about pressure to step up for a mediocre team.

Him and Pulisic, better to plan early.

No, it's not necessarily the players, it's first the coach, how long is it waiting for before spending 3-4-3 this stupid? And the tenix starts ...

Players like Reijnders, Pulisic, Hernandez must stay the others I don't know but I admit that on this Leao match was very annoying.

After that you do not forget even if we sell Leao 80M these idiots of managers could replace it with a Politano or Neres.
Sell ok but you have to buy well behind.

Conceicao is the 1st manager he is silly, blood but he is lucky in C.I and vs inter. I even wonder how Milan managed to beat Inter. We will see Wednesday.

If we are not in Europa League it would be catastrophic because the League Conference is useless.

The plan was right in the first half, why did the whole crowd have to go back to attacking in the second half with the score 0-0?

Sit behind the ball line and catch a prostitute in space

We needed 3 points. A point meant nothing for us. So w had to get out of our shell. Point is, we had several counters in the 1st half that we (our superstars) fuked up time and time again. In the 2nd half, we opened up and dominated. Again, putting ourselves in the right positions, but the individual quality (decisions, final pass, shot) was lacking. Amateur level, actually, when you go back and see some of the dumb fuking decisions and terrible touches when it mattered most.

Atalanta scored with seemingly their fist dangerous counter.

The coaches set the strategy, the players execute. Gasperini did NOT outsmart Conceicao today. Our players failed to execute. Theirs didn't.

Conceicao is not blameless, of course. But moreso on the substitution decisions than the actual tactics. I think he should have made subs 10 minutes sooner. But I don't know. Maybe he saw we are in a "good" moment and wanted to keep the same group out there with that momentum. It didn't work out.

But this Milan has been failed by the management/ownership first and foremoat....than the players....and lastly, coaches.

I think the sporting responsibility lies with Ibra and Moncada.

That's why Ibra has been less present for weeks and Moncada will be demoted after the season. These are the consequences for the shitty Mercato.

The fact that Fofana and Emerson go back to Moncada is largely verifiable. He named Fofana himself as his „solution“ and Maldini/Massara had already negotiated for Emerson. So the constant is Moncada.

Moncada should work on his laptop from the basement in Milanello with no access to direct sunlight

 

[Jivara]

I think Conceicao deserved 8/10 for the starting lineup - I would have benched Pulisic and started Bondo since the objective was clearly not to concede and to be compact.

For his substitutions he deserves 2/10 - none of them made sense, none of them made an impact, they were all late, they did not react to the changes made by Gasperini. He gets 2 only because of participation.

Final score 5/10 - gtfo

I don't think we are good enough for Conference League this season and should do everything to avoid it, just play Primavera players if you have to.

If we can milk close to 75m from Citeh. I’d say do it

I'd much rather we shipped the donkey and the bastard off for that price.

#Twofers

No matter who the manager. Deers still puts a shift in.

 

[LemonCookies]

Hard to fault the players. Gasperini out coached the fuck out of us.

Not angry at the result this time.

We actually played well but couldn't convert our chances. If Atalanta had our chances, they would have won 0:3.

A draw was also possible until Cunt-ceicao subbed off all of our players that know how to play football.

 

[sabeni]

I keep my faith until coppa vs inter, for me beating merda and bologna in final will make him stat or first choice for next season.

One reason why he shouldn't stay - stubbornness.

Mindlessly spamming 4-2-3-1 until he buried our CL hopes into the ground.

 

[IL-Capitano]

Conseisao is a concern and has shown stubbornness in his tactical setup. But the whole setup of management is as big a concern if not a bigger issue.

I only saw the second half yesterday it was a shame to concede on the break. The team actually played well enough they just couldn’t convert their chances.

As long as Furlani, Moncada and Ibra remain. Milan could have the best SD or coach in the world and Milan are likely to struggle.

Since Gerry and his yes men took over Milan, it’s environment, its mentality and overall sense of purpose has been confused, tarnished and disrupted.

This season in particular personifies the many problems that were inevitably creeping into the club structure and came back to bite Milan.

Self made problems created within and by the current infrastructure of higher management until that changes expect more of the same.

We definitely need a finisher striker

World class one

Gimi may take time. Not sure if he will ever be WC though

That’s the problem, players who put a shift in are the ones who’s actually desired by the other clubs and whose words actually mean something when they say they want to stay with Milan.

You don’t want to wait until he follows Theao’s example or suffer a bad injury.

Theo for sure we won’t get much for unless we risk it by renewing him. Leao we’d have to get lucky some big money unserious team missed another target, otherwise I don’t see anyone looking at him and see as a player to invest big money in

So with the pope's death all sporting events in Italy have been cancelled, including the 4 Serie A matches.
The Coppa Italia game on Wednesday will go on as scheduled and rumors are that Serie A will also play that day.
Francis was a football fan, big supporter of San Lorenzo and Argentina.

 

[pippofan]

The defeat vs Atalanta was the least painful for me because it didn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.
First half neither goalie had to make a save, boring as hell. And it didn't surprise me that during our best moments we conceded on a counter, it seemed almost inevitable.

Every match I root for Milan, it's the natural order of things, but without passion and almost like a neutral observer.
At some point you get used to losing and are surprised when they don't.

 

[Australiano1980]

See... we gonna get beat up playing 3-4-3 too..

Our problem is far far far away from been tactical.

We can change all the players, still won't solve it.

 

[sabeni]

2nd game with new formation vs the master of that formation, ofcorse conceiao outsmarted by gasp. First half we were cautious, which is good but counters were not good enough, our counters were always end up with 2 players running waiting for either tijani or pulisic golden pass, meanwhile theo and jimenez were late.

2nd half, again gasperini show how it should be done, his subs shock our players with quick fast break leaving fofana and reijnder behind, plan b from conceicao failed, our players disinterested and losing motivation, they think they gonna dominate and reserve the possesion until ederson goal.

 

[sabeni]

If we dont get revolution in summer, i want decent mercato to fill the gap between first team and subs.

Loftus should gone chuck gone. Go for partey/angissa, ricci, kulusevski/arda guller.

I do not share this analysis.
Since the use of 3-4-3 the team is more balanced and collects fewer goals.

There are 4 other things to take into account:

1) The opponent Atlanta even if we were 1st in the classification This team would have been able to beat us they have been strong for several years and remains one of the best teams in European.

2) Our offensive players have harvested like never before and our good usual players (Reijnders, Pulisic) seemed tired many errors.

3) A not very clever coach who also awaits the 85th to make changes that are not all consistent.

4) We have been practicing this training for 2 games even if I admit it does not excuse everything.

Why you took for guaranteed the effectiveness of Bondo defensive skills, I see him always late, even at Monza he wasnt a starter, we would have to hire Casedei instead.

Pulisic at least was able to lift some grinta even when the team struggled, Tijani shines only when we gain the upper hand.
