Yeah, I agree. Feels like there was a lot more of him in this performance. 442 shape can work, but i'm surprised he's ok with Leao LM.
I worry about our offensive prowess in a setup like this.

Finally some balls and some grinta at least.

Not really disappointed with the draw, more pissed off with our previous results against the low teams we should win against.
Precisely. If we put this much heart into every game we wouldn’t be struggling for a top 4 finish.

These motherfuckers need a reality check.

you can see that our players are working overtime so much that we get gassed so easily

only fault of Conceicao today i think is taking off Leao. We need to have him on the counter in late stages but maybe he was gassed .. i wouldve preferred Okafor instead of Chukwueze for sure.. he has way more pace and is infinitely better on the counter
To heavy for the pitch .

Our league table situation is catastrophic. It's like two months since I thought we were in danger territory and we've just limped on in A ever since.

Really nervous about top 5 even, if we're lucky enough to get that last spot. 35 points after 22 games....
It's not safe to target top 5. Has to be top 4. I think we'll get there now that we got Santi and Walker. We already played Juve and Inter in the second half of the season. I think a good run of wins in the next 5 or 6 games and we'll be back up there ahead of both Lazio and Juve.

Parma last week and today’s game will be the turning point of our season. I know we didn’t win, but the players have responded and showing fight. Gimenez and Walker in, and a nice schedule coming up.

It’s time for our run

The results under Sergio have been good barring the Zagreb fuck up. But that was entirely on Gabbia and Musah.

Man that was a sickener and felt like a loss but proud of the guys and how they suffered today. Much more steel we need that tho in games against small teams not just big games
Yeah, I was thinking that we have gotten the better of Inter over 3 games, Real Madrid etc. it’s not a coincidence. We fix the small team issue and add depth and we’re looking much better next year.

Did you guys see Walker yell at Terra after the latter failed to control his pass?

That play put us under pressure for 3 straight mins subsequently.
I said it earlier, Walker is commanding and a leader at the back. It showed and I think really helped Tomori and Pavlovic. Both were immense but knew where to be the entire game, I think in part because of the instructions they get from Walker and Mike.

Camarda should be first sub for Gimenez.
I honestly don’t think he’s ever looked out of place. He just needs a bit of time but he seems like a genuinely ready player (at the very least as a sub).

His technique is really something. Don’t care that he’s 16. I’d be happy to see much more of him and I seriously think he can make a difference.

I have to wonder if Sergio asked management not to loan Camarda because he wants to use him. I hope so.

Milan's Serie A schedule in Feb are all against easier opponents. We actually have only 2 direct head to heads against top 8 opponents in March.
By contrast...

I think Top 4 or 5 isn't an impossibility.

Those are 5 to 6 absolutely necessary wins though!

One of the two Leao and Pulisic should have been left behind. It was a gross mistake to release the third central defender. Conceicau perfectly set up a game plan from defense with 2-3 lines, set up the team well, but he ruined everything with substitutions and just gave up the game at the end.

Did more than Tammy in less minutes. Boy is a fox. Real jewel. His first goal will show him the way. Besides Sharawy we didn't gave too much space to play for under 18 players.

He's dumb as a box of rocks. Apparently the algorithm doesn't filter that out.
Dude, I hate him.

Like I can’t even say his name.

Literally can’t
Leao and Pulisic are now being run into the ground, it's becoming obvious, they're being as overused as Fofana and Reijnders almost.

It's insane how useless Chuk is, like being unable to control the ball when alone on the sideline?

Okafor not being fit enough to even jog?

We need a midfielder and a winger this January
