You are rightElliot also got Cardinale!!
This!!! You should be extremely stupid to hope different conclusion. We totally deserved last years championship but for pioli I think it was pure luck. He just had 1 game plan and it worked whenever it collapsed he is like a 5 year old girl who never watched football beforeWe have 20% possession and 0 shots. And Pioli will be the only one surprised..
tataI watched the replay a coupe of times and still don't know who was supposed to track Lautaro.
CBs are not the type to build up themselves, no player in the CDM position to get the ball from the CBs and bring it up like we used to play when we were good (kessie / ben)What is even more irritating about this display is this formation was supposed to give us more coverage wide but the same switch of play is catching us out time and time again. What was the point of playing with wingbacks...? We still look too damned narrow. 4 3 3 would have been enough. Why the lack of pressure in the mid if we've got more bodies there now?
60min mark probably like he predictably does every gameWill he make them now or pussy out and wait until the last 15 mins

The question is: How did we get a scudetto with the same players? Our fall came with an unbelievable speed...So many bad/finished players on the pitch for us today.
I really wish for a complete overhaul of the squad. I would keep 5-6 players only.
We have no outlet as well. That’s a massive issue. We too damn defensive. I get it but have no outlet is making us turnover the ball a lot. Giroud isn’t a target man. We know this but Pioli thinks he is.What is even more irritating about this display is this formation was supposed to give us more coverage wide but the same switch of play is catching us out time and time again.

spoiler alert:I really hope Maldini has a manager ready and isn’t naive enough to just trust Pioli here.
Relax - I was told by someone on RnB that they too are terrible so we should be able to beat themSo, we will soon play a team that beats Man City hmm
Kalulu ,but he got yellow so that was risky ,so Kjaer.I watched the replay a coupe of times and still don't know who was supposed to track Lautaro.
Oooooow he's very hangryyy (for money)We defended well for 98% of the first half. One lapse in concentration punished us. It can be a story of two halves. Bring on leao to turn the tide, let’s see how hungry he is and if he is really the mvp.
Tata - just blame TataI watched the replay a coupe of times and still don't know who was supposed to track Lautaro.
You are wrong. It might not be correct that a team underperforms the next game to correct for a good performance. But if we look at aggregate scores across seasons then you will start to revert to some mean. There are plenty of papers looking at second season syndrome in sports.It's a popular misconception that if you overperform then you will eventually underperform to "correct" your average.
Unless you think this is our true strength under the pioli era, and not somewhere in between how we play now and how we played when we won scudetto. In this case I disagree on whole other level.
spoiler alert:
no matter what happens maldini isn't letting pioli go at least until the end of the season, too stubborn & proudy for that
