Wonder what new copout Pioli will use this week?

Who gives a shit if we had a bad game? Penalties only count when you're playing well?

There aren't rules now? Theo was fouled in the box. It was a clear penalty according to the rubric established by those who justify decisions against us.

If we play well, but don't win... that doesn't mean anything.

If we play poorly, but win... it means we're shit.

But when we are denied penalties, we're not supposed to use them?

Milan has scored the most goals in open play in Serie A (I believe) so... we don't "rely" on penalties. And then when asked: "hey, why don't we get penalties?" the answer is: "we're not in the box!"

Now, our players get fouled in the box, and what happens? Nothing.

For all of Fiorentina's dominance (I didn't watch the game, I was sick) but Fiorentina needed a penalty to open the scoring, a soft penalty, one that I didn't think was a penalty. But if that was a penalty, then surely one of the two penalties we got should have been at least one.

The logic is ever shifting here. I don't want to hear about spin force, when the same people who talk about Tomori's penalty are the same ones who are denying Theo's. They are the ones who are spinning.

Chill, I'm only saying our display was shit, which is hardly debatable

Ochoa was really weak in his 5 yard area, I was screaming at the tv to put more high balls in. Can't understand the rasoning of Pioli, he should've put Florenzi instead of Thiaw and Adl up the middle, even Pobega who likes to attack the box. I think this chapter came to an end, a seriously weak season, Pioli's done all he could. Time for a change, a different approach. You simply cannot play with 5atb when at home to Salernitana and chasing a win. Our playmakers todaw were Thiaw, Maignan and Kalulu ffs. Serious lack of creativity in midfield. I think we gonna shelf this 5-2-3 formatian pretty soon, bc we lack the penetration centrally. Theo is on his last legs ffs, did he get any rest this season?!

 

[doraemon]

Well, the attack got better with them. Leao really with his worst performance this season so far. Not that he was only a passenger like usually these days. He killed even more attacks than Saele on the other side, that's how bad he was.

CDK did well, Origi too. Tonight is not the night to shit on them.

Cdk did nothing, origi did something but no end result. Leao lazy at times but he usually bring it home

 

[Samaldinho]

One was a game where we had to mostly work off the ball. We’re good at that.

We’ve been terrible on the ball for months.

Maybe we should be playing the kid we got that is really good with the ball at his feet?

 

[justhope]

we are so bad right now, and pioli looks so clueless...

 

[AC_Wesley]

Zlatan is going to win this for us

 

[voom]

 

[leaf]

jfc i dont understand origi at all

no man in front of him just outside the box, delays and passes it to the side

4 men in front of him, turn around shot from 20m

What you described is a shit player. But let's not hurt any feelings

 

[rossonero23]

Pioli should be canned

 

[theduck7]

So annoyed watching 96 mins of that absolute shit-we deserve better. I kinda knew it was coming aswell that’s the worst thing about it. So fucking predictable.

 

[voom]

Pioli should be canned

 

[Panache]

Pioli is a coward and imbecile. This is not football. F him and his "tactics". Pathetic.

Playing Florenzi and his mates while Adli deserved it.

These new "tactics " are really to save his job. Very cowardly.

Offensively, he relies heavily on individual brilliance to get goals. That's why you hear players always saying "he gives us a lot of freedom going forward". Freedom might work for players like Theo but not for everyone. Most of our offensive players are clueless and need plenty of time to know what to do next. Very slow build up and bad decision making once we get into the final third.

 

[theduck7]

So worried watching CDK mainly, I really don’t know what’s happened here but we appear to have absolutely crushed that guy. Is Pioli at fault?

 

[gioiuzza]

 

[brk]

you're coming around...it seems.
there's plenty of room.

I’ve always been against it. It’s an effective stop gap, solves the chance leakage, but we have no midfield. 433 is the way and now it’s the endless wait for Pioli to belatedly realize this.

The majority of our players today were not that good on the ball. The 3 CBs, Krunic, Saelemaekers and also Leao was out of his mind. Add to that Giroud that totally immobile and you start to understand the problem. Brahim can move and dribble but can’t pass. So what are we trying to do on the ball? They’re packing the midfield and defense, we can’t dribble or run. They’re not building up so we can’t press. What’s the plan? Cross to Giroud against a back three? Seriously? Or Leao and inshalla? What if he’s like today? What then?

I don’t understand why we had to play 3 CBs today. I don’t understand the change. Why not take out a CB for an attacker in the end? Keep Thiaw for headers, but take out Kalulu or Tomori for a player with feet like Adli for example.

I didn’t like Pioli at all today. Not his lineup without rotation. Not his changes. Not the strategy.

 

[CDarius]

So i understand the 3 ATB changed our defensive problems but i still think 4-2-3-1 suits us the best.

MM
Kalulu-Thiaw-Tomo-Theo
——-Tonali/Krunic—-Benny/Krunic——
CdK——-Brahim———Leao
———Ibra/Oli/Origi/Rebic———-

This is what we should try in my opinion. And bc Oli is suspended i would start either Zlatan or Rebic at Udine

 

[Cloren]

CDK has finally woken up

When he wakes up, other are shit.

Rinse and repeat. Either he’s shit or the rest are and no goals are made out of him or his play

 

[Buske]

You thinking CDK will have any impact is what happened.

I think he's a quality player but he's both at zero confidence, misused, and completely off form.

i was being sarcastic

 

[MilanFan89]

Just look at the results of the last 2months.
Pioli doesnt deserve to stay.
If we win its always with fking 1-0. After 1-0 we always going to defend, which lead to this.
And then pioli doing some horrible subs

Ok we won against Spurs, but spurs was just so shit, its not like we were so good

 

[dvl19i]

how do we go from a tactical masterclass vs spurs away to complete shambles vs a wank team

 

[Pandak]

Can we just play with 3 mids?

i was talking about Pioli's decisions in general...but yeah.

 

[sabeni]

I dislike pioli for his refusal to play 3 cm's, it really cost us the counter/salernitana goal, if we put 3 cm's iam sure we stabilize the center, frustate them and actually more chance to cm's having space to go to box for exyra man.

 

[Bagheera]

I still can’t get over how badly this game was managed, from the starting lineup to those subs…against salernitana at home.

I’ve always tried to give Pioli benefit of doubt but nah, not after that. He should go at end of season.

 

[nonsonoqui]

I didn’t think the foul on Theo was a penalty, even if it’s given in Serie A.

The Bennacer VAR penalty annulment was against the rules, if taken by the letter. I may be wrong.

Terrible performance. A huge opportunity spurned.

"WE" crushed the guy?

He came from the Belgian league. This is his level.

Not the first time these weeks I think you would do a better job than Pioli. And no that's no pun, I'm absolutely genuine.

If the Ikone dive against Tomori was a penalty against Fiorentina, then for me, Theo should have gotten that penalty.

The VAR review of the penalty was against the rules, as there was contact, and there has to be a clear and obvious error--the ref is not supposed to make a new decision with VAR review.

Yes, terrible performance, I'm not denying that. But I want the rules to be applied consistently, and they aren't, and I can't stand that.

 

[IL-Capitano]

Lets hope with the remaining fixtures they can find a better path. Improve on the attacking play and take their chances. Bad day move on and hope for better in the next game. Forza Milan
