What id like to see first is us regaining our play style. Whether it’s Pioli or Italiano or RDZ or whoever, we need to decide at the top level who AC Milan is. I think we’re still going forward with the ‘European’ play style of the high energy, fast, direct, high pressing football. That should give us a shortlist of coaches we can target that proved they can play like this and develop young players. I wouldn’t be surprised if post Pioli we end up with a coach nobody ever heard of and it works.
Eventually I’d like us to land on 433. It’s the most balanced fit for the way we want to play and for the players we currently have. Klopp started with the 4231 but eventually changed to 433 for balance. Bennacer and Tonali CANNOT play together in a pivot without a third player helping in midfield. It was hard with Kessie, and even then it didn’t really click until Krunic was the AM.
I think we should keep raising Chelsea, and the best target for us is Loftus-Cheek. Have a feeling that he’s just the right player to complete the midfield trio. He’s halfway between an AM and a CM, he’s physically strong and fast and technically great. Very well rounded. On his last year of contract, although they can extend him another year. In any case I think we need to have 6 or 7 good central midfielders and right now we only really have 3. Adli and Vranckx need time, and Pobega isn’t good enough.
we’re so close to having an almost perfect squad, but it will need major investment and risk taking this summer to make all the pieces fit.
For the squad we need Sportiello, and Italian LB backup and another CB (Ndicka or Omeragic).
For the first team we need a CM and a RW. I want CDK up front as a false nine. Maldini once told Ambro that this is how they see him long term. It’s sad that we haven’t tried him there yet. With Leao and an equally direct counterpart in the right, we could have a very dangerous and mobile attack.
I don’t think we should stick with the back three, a Defence of Maignan, Theo, Tomori, Thiaw and Kalulu needs to be fixed. It’s the perfect mix of speed, height and aggression for the way we play. We’ll regain confidence once the whole team starts to defend and attack as a unit.
i have no idea who that direct RW could be. Maybe we just play CDK RW and get Thuram as the CF? I don’t know, but what I do know is that I don’t want to see another season where our first and second choice CFs are 36 and 41 year olds. No matter how good they are, they just can’t do what we need our CF to do and it breaks our press and we can’t counterattack. It needs to stop and we have to move on.

Why is this team like this? It's embarassing really...
