He’s too in his own head. He also started to believe his own myth, that his shit doesn’t stink.
I agree. The weird arrogance in January really shocked me. Didn’t seem like the same humble Pioli from last season. He became stubborn and I’ve heard him say ‘I know better ‘ way more than I ever expected.

In Serie A Conte is like Spalletti, is a guarantee for top 4 and fighting for the scudetto.

Conte mostly had top teams with v good players in Serie A. He hasn't done any better than Pioli with Tottenham, after spending much more on transfers. And Pioli even beat him in CL. Conte is a dick and has a bad CL record.

Now Nagelsmann is a top coach, playing amazing attacking football. Bayern were killing it in CL this season before firing him.

MMM are in an awkward situation. Firing Pioli would mean putting all the blame on him. But they know they’re the ones that convinced him that the likes of Origi, CDK, Pobega and Vranckx can be useful and can help him rotate the team.

I don’t think Pioli getting fired is a given even if we don’t make the CL.
If he doesn't take the team to CL he failed the most fundamental objective and has to go. Always the coach's head that rolls first

We trying to win the CL man…
If we somehow, with the power of all Gods, manage to win it, Ceferin should livestream his own hanging and give way to the Superleague before kicking the stool.

These ultras are more clueless then i tought.
Singing whole time even after the 2-0.

These players and coach deserve a beatdown and punishment.
Instead they said this evening was insufficient, but there is a game on Tuesday where we need to just cancel today and prepare for another war

They really do think we can beat Inter ?? And Beat Real Madrid or Man City ??

Yeah sure, but I don't think any serious club was interested in Salad... DId any decent offers come for him? Zlatan this year was only on around 1.5-2.5 mil contract plus bonuses ( which he won't get ). Origi is a fuckup as is Baka. But overall it isn't a huge amount of money lost. It's not like Arsenal losing Aubameyang and Lacazette for free after spending around 120 mil on them! And Arsenal could still go and buy Gabriel Jesus and challenge for the EPL title. You need to spend serious money as a top club.
After winning the Scudetto, every single player in the squad would’ve had an inflated market value and interest from other teams (including Salad). Also, Pobega could’ve easily fetched 15m plus bonuses following a good season at Torino whereas now we’ll be lucky to get half that.

It’s the combined impact from failing to sell fodders (in addition to letting good players walk for free) AND squandering 35m+ on CDK etc. which forced M&M to redeem and renew fodders because we couldn’t afford anybody better.

There’s not going to be any CL. It’s going to be back to square one.

It doesn’t help that Pioli pretty much alienated half the team. Most barely play so how can you rely on them when they’re needed. He stuck to his favorites and one formation and look where it got him, likely out of a job.
Inclusiveness. Something he was great at at first.
1 of the many reasons I started liking him.

If merda lose all is not lost. On the bright side, we tend to show up after terrible matches like dominating Lazio.

Yes, we have many deep problems and pioli is a mess but we can maybe still squeeze something out of this season. One game at a time. All the questions of who's leaving and new coach will have to be sorted in the summer.

Disgusting performance today, but they immediately have to get ready for Tuesday.

It's clear as day that Pioli has completely lost it. Yes, management should take a hard look at themselves, but Pioli is responsible for our decline. He is a man without ideas. We are playing terrible at a tactical level.

I like the mentality. The club hasn’t accepted their Euroderby fate. They think they’re still in it that they threw away our top four chances for that game. It’s risky and stupid perhaps, but I like that they haven’t given up. Only those who take risks become great. You never know what will happen

I personally think we’re already out but who the fuck am i

Morons still calling for the wrong heads to roll... It's Gerry Redshit that needs to go. Moron doesn't even know what CL is and thinks European football fans are as dumb as NFL fans so that they keep throwing piles of cash at their team even if they never win anything.
Fuck off!

Thats insane. And you have to consider that this is the team that only last year won the Scudetto
Just take a look at the most used starting eleven in 18/19 and current season:

1684005237794.png

VS

1684005281022.png

Honestly, who would be an upgrade to our current team from 4 years ago? Kessie, and Cuckoldoglu. Calabria is the same, and I believe we improved on 8 positions out of 11. Then why the fuck is it not visible on the pitch? There are zero excuses.

Pioli just said that the first half was good. Just how insecure are the players that has him protect them like that? Such a blatant lie doesn't instill confidence in anyone. Or does he actually believe it? Not sure which is worse

Curva deserve to be heard and respected. They are the ones who follow the team anywhere in the world. They will attend every training session and go to any stadium on earth for Milan. Thats why they are heard. After all, teams play for their fans

The levels of mismanagement this season are just so bad.

I’m of the opinion that we have a coach, hadn’t ever won anything, then all of a sudden wins a scudetto. After that, he now thinks he knows best and is refusing to admit mistakes. If you watch the way we play now it’s embarrassing. We can barely string two passes together in the opposition half.

I have no clue how this season will end, but all indication suggest it wil be out of Top 4 and EL next season. At which point Pioli has to go. That squad should comfortably get top 4.

Gazidis was our lucky charm. Dude left in Dec and we have been in relegation form since then.
Imo, Not lucky charm, he kept things straight.
I believe his presence, the fact that he was always vocal about what football we want, kept Pioli on that line. He know Gazidis would sack him if he deviates.
With Maldini, Pioli has freedom to implement his own football “ideas”, which is quite disgusting.

Even Maldini, I have my suspicions. he’s done great so far…but i don’t think he’ll get the OK, to spend the bulk of the budget on CDK, a player who doesn’t fit anywhere in the way we play.
With Gazidis, loan + option would be the most he could do…and as much as people cry about it “we’re so poor”, maybe it’s a great thing.
So Maldini is on his first strike for me, if he makes another WTF move like that, I’ll conclude that Gazidis was the one keeping him straight too.
