So after the match he says "I don't understand what happened in the 2nd half." 🤡

Mate, it's week 3 already and yet again you don't understand what happened.🤦

Let me break it down for you.
Your plan isn't working, we look much much worse than last season and time is slipping thorough your hands to fix it.

I understand what he tried to do. He makes 2 solid lines of 4 just to repear the defense, for this, left Theo and Leão out, it wasnt a punishment for them at all. It worked well and i think he should keep investing on that. Also, he should insert Leão in RLC place along with the striker, it was the position he scores the goal.
Leão doesn't have much more to delevop playing wide open left.

The blank in the beggining of the second half happens.. we do need a sheriff(experience) in the defense tho.

I do not agree with getting rid of him if we get not great results against Liverpool and Inter tbh.

Giampaolo was way worse than this.

If he doesn't start teaching players how to pass and move off ball imma be triggered

I was promised quick 1-2 buildups

Theo, tij leao would feast in a system like that

If he doesn't make us play lower and teach players how to pass, straight to the gallows

Its just a matter of rearrange some pieces, a team with Tomori/Pavlovic, Theo, Reijnders, Leão and Morata can't be out of the top 3. I have nothing against Fonseca, but i would have had a different choice of coach.
Atleast he showed corage, benching the 3 captains of the team searching for a tactical solution.

Its a game to beat Liverpool 2-0, 3-1 smoothly.

The atmosphere is perfect to change the gear and Fonseca really starts his job.

Parks the bus and still can't defend for shit.
Many attack minded players and we still can't overcome Liverpool's high pressing.

Three CL seasons in a row opposing teams shut us down completely with high pressing.

Pioli's Milan had a huge defensive problem.

Fonsecca's Milan is one huge problem.

Actually, Pioli spend five years setting up a dependent squad, his plans stop working in the CL semi finals against Internazionale last year. This is the result, the managment should have fixed this.

This squad is addicted in wait for Leão. In Pre season, the best perfomances as a team where in Leão absence (even with City and Madrid in low gear, the team played as a team).

Been saying this for a while, Leão is more close to a Balotelli/Niang failure than anything else (is too much pressure on him). He should be the first one looking for a solution, ask for a different role or smt, at the moment we have a group issue.

He’s a decent manager, just needs to find a way to handle some of these mutinous players. That will be his biggest headache. Gradual improvement is visible.

Nothing more to add. Leão is a weird problem into the field.

Congrats to Fonzie on his first ucl win as Milan manager. Hopefully the first of many.
Yeah, but he set up a really bad starting 11.

I mean, to fit RLC, he sacrifice the best positioning for Pulisic and Reijnders, plus, he isolate Morata.

That was just stupidity.
