Bruh!
I wish we were as efficient in pressing & fluidity.
Carvajal is their scrub and he is leagues above Calabria with the ball
Valverde and Camavinga have it all with pace

And the entire forward line keeps working
A winger is much more likely to have spaces than a ST anyway.
Benz come to mind as an exception of late but most ST nowadays suffer in big games.
Haaland cant do much though -his game is one thing and if the supply isnt getting there he doesnt have it to drop deep or beat two players and set up others.
He made it very easy for Rudiger so I expect to see something different in the setup for the following match.

We need a Camavinga type that can get the ball off an opponent quickly and bring it forward with the pass or dribble and then a striker who can help himself, preferably with some pace.

Man, how I wish we had a real coach... watching these games makes me depressed, knowing that Pioli will be confirmed for another year
Pioli may be confirmed for next year, but nobody really knows right now

too many great players to list but if pushed all time favorite player: Maldini
EL this year, Inter don't win Scudetto before/on derby, and second star next year. That would be solace for Inter getting second star this year.
There is no solace in seeing inter get a second star before Milan.

Haaland presence will force the other team to field two players on him which will create spaces for others to score.
At the end he is a poacher, an amazing one.
Pep can also start Alvarez next game.
Cama is amazing & maybe Musah can be that for us.

We need a lifetime supply of Senzu beans and still hope that the ball doesnt bounce an extra foot away from our WC mid.

The Modric cameo should crush anyone who believes we are close.
Modric, Bernardo and Foden - those guys shine bright without the physicality.

Rodri was pedestrian today - really curious to see the second leg

Doubt that - it was mostly just Rudiger in his skin.
Rudiger is like Deebo - when he comes around, Haaland be quiet, when he is gone 'he be talking again'

Today they had no way to get him the ball and the goals didnt come from any advantage he caused. I expect something different to free him up and I also expect City to be much better with the ball.

Haaland is so out of place in a Pep team. He would do much better in a Klopp style team which gegenpress . Obv comparisons with Mbappe are a joke only clueless football fans make. It’s similar to the cr7 and Messi comparisons. Anyone who understands football knows it’s not even close. Penaldo stat padding vs camels now and saying he outscored haaland and mbappe haha.

It was a high quality game. But people, as always, exaggerate. Just as how they were expecting MC to annihilate Inter in the final last year because of much higher quality, tempo, EPL, Pep, etc.

Every game is different. Of course, Milan is lower quality to these two teams at the moment. But saying we need 7-8 new players to be at this quality is horseshit.

I don’t know man he broke the scoring record last year and is leading scorer this year. It’s the absence of KDB that hurts his numbers.

I barely get free time to watch games lately, including Milan’s.
Scanning the last few pages, it seems a lot just realized that what we play is extremely underwhelming.

Sure, we have enough quality in players to make an occasional smash and grab against top teams, if all the planets align line up…but tactically we’re in the basement.

Carlo Ancelotti and Guardiola really coached the game of the season tonight tbh.

All 6 goals had fluke elements in it.

It was a fantastic game for neutrals.

But I feel that the attackers really let Carlo down. Vinicius, Jude really should have not missed those chances…

Out for a walk.
gegenpress is such a dorky term. "if we don't have the ball, go press the player that does." amazing. much wow. such tactique.

arm chair tit heads will be quick to let me know how much more there is going on, but then forget how easy it is when you have lunatics like Mane and Firmino in your team.

Imagine if City had Adli.

100%

With a machine like Haaland (and others) in front and most important the general organization they have in attack…hehe won’t even need to be precise in his passing.

I won’t be surprised that he’s being observed by important teams as a very undervalued, mostly misused player.

Thanks heavens, teams with money only like shiny toys…but guys like Dortmund and RB know unique talents when they see em…they know very well how to flip em too.
