EL Quarter Finals - 1st Leg: AC Milan - Roma 11/04/2024 21:00 CET

We were totally outplayed against Roma tactially. He copied Inter tactics against us and again we did not have an answer.

 

[Cloren]

Me so horny

That’s why we lost

 

[Wild]

Clear penalty denied on Abrahams handball.

And an early offside goal that was never checked.
Insane how the usual conspiracy fanatics arent all over this.

 

[Stitches]

Knew it was downhill from here

Pretty much, we are lucky most teams in the leagues don't have the starting 11 capable of doing so.

I have laid off Pioli recently not just because of the results, but also because I want to remember him for how he won us a Scudetto and made us into a CL qualifying team again.

I have found it misguided to stake Pioli’s future on EL and the derby. If management want to get rid of him they should have solid reasons. Style of play. Different direction. Whatever. Not a string of results in a season that was over 3 months ago. Domestically, at least.

If he is to stay because or despite of 8-9 results then this is a fundamentally broken situation that could set us back a few.

Been saying this even when we were about to win that league title.

It was clear for anyone except Milan's management ( and blind fan boys ), that he only won that league due to circumstance, and he wasn't the one to build a dynasty winning team.

You are exaggerating saying he win it by fluke or else he wouldnt accumulated as many points this season.
That title came after a year were we played insane football quality wise.
Pioli was a big part of our resurrection but he peaked & we need to move up.
What worry me more than one year of Pioli is the risk of loosing some important pieces of our squad because we kept him.
Players that could have stayed because a new coach can open closed doors in there abilities.

 

[fray]

Chukwueze’s end product is still not quite there, but boy he’s lively. Gave us a genuine spark when he came on.

Or maybe just maybe, everyone that was our competition, was dog shit that season.

This revisionism history needs to stop, no we didn't play amazing football at all. I know it's been more than a minute since we did, but I suggest watching top 5 epl teams, or la liga to get refresher course on what amazing football looks like.

 

[Cloren]

The difference in how they are playing is so dramatic though.

Their shape is different. Look at how even SES is going to the RW so he can use his right foot to send the ball in and stretch our defense by being able to drive right.

De Rossi is doing more than giving pep talks about what it means to play for Roma.

The way people are talking about De Rossi reminds me of Carlo lol.

Zero credit for his tactical awareness and it’s just motivation, man-management etc.

lol so untrue.

 

[Cloren]

NO NOT PULI AND LEAO

That was my reaction too

The worst subs in the history of football

We didnt play amazing football the period before we won the title?!
You outplaying your opponents means you earned your title.

Yes it does, it doesn't mean that we played amazing football though, or that we had good competition like we do now.

By your logic the Serie D winners play amazing football as well.

 

[Ash-ish]

Has Isma really developed as a player since arriving?

You know the answer. Regressed every year.

May be another extension, another dozen of midfield partners, new coach and new country will help.

At least Calabria had a very good year when dalot threatened him to bench.

Not discrediting ddr here he set his team well but i dont see originality on his tactic. Its clear that roma using merda tactic on pioli

Cannot check offside after corner is given even if they score from it. Just the rules.

Bennacer has technical quality but his mindset is never going to be elite. Better to sell him to Saudi as he’s Muslim they will want him badly.

Nothing against the guy tho - seems like a good lad tbvh and he did have his many good moments .

Saudis will never buy a midfielder from us after that gambling addict cost them 100 million.

He is a good guy, good attitude but it might be over unless he is completely fit and a coach drills discipline into him. Pioli has always given him blank cheque except when scudetto was on line.
