This team in a 433 should be very different. Sounds like a small minor change but it solves a lot of our issues.
No player really capable of playing the DM in a 433

Maldini, please open an onlyfans account and livestream your feet. Get your simps on RnB to at least fund a right winger for us.

People claim they love Milan but make excuses for Paul’s poor judgment as an administrator at the club. Seems like they love Maldini more than they love Milan. I don’t care about individuals. I care about the health of the institution. They seem to be forgetting the age old football adage, “No one is bigger than the club.”

Paul is bigger than the club in the eyes of these clowns.

Cardinale said he hates losing. Compared to clubs with owners who loves losing, things will start looking good soon.

I think it's more because he calls Paolo Maldini as "Paul". Deserves all the downvotes in the universe for that sin alone.

Seriously though, I’m a bit optimistic after reading Pioli’s comments. He seems to have finally gotten it. Change is coming.

So far he has shown that even when he talks like that, those changes will be within what he has already done…Krunic at AM perhaps or Rebic CF.

True.

What to do about the defense tho? Kalulu's been making mistakes left and right and his confidence seems shot. Kjaer is frail and slow, Gabbia is a complete mediocrity. Not the ideal moment to start Thiaw vs Inter but what are our options?

Calabria and Theo have been straight garbage but I trust them both to find their feet again. But I'm concerned with CB if Kjaer is not reliable anymore.

I don’t think he lost the team yet. But he is simply unable to get out of this due to his team selection and his hard/stubborn trust in some players….he simply won’t field the strongest line up. Or at least change and give the talented youngsters a chance and not rely on players who we know even at their best can only give 5-7/10 performances.

When we were mounting serious challenges for a few years and finally got the title, inter Lazio fans on twitter expected us (him) to crash like he did with them after good period. Long period of bad results that led to his sacking. Luckily it did not happen then.

But now I see why he goes though these long bad periods, when things start going wrong (which happens) he makes decisions to worsen the situation.

Sticking by your guns is admirable but in some cases it’s just stupid.

It’s almost like he’d rather do that and die just to be right than make some changes, Formation (I personally don’t think so) or like giving Vranckx, Adli, Thiaw even Vasquez a run and potentially show that he made a mistake by not giving them space if they do well.



That said, I think the management is reasonable and expect bad periods to happen and wouldn’t sack a coach for it…but when it seems the coach’s choices are almost guaranteeing that we don’t get out of this soon. Sabotaging things with stubbornness. anything could happen…

And that’s also how you lose the team and there is no returning when you reach that point.



Anyway I’m expecting similar results in the coming games.

Well someone has to.

I cant put this as my dp and hide on whtasapp, can I?

Who do you recommend to take over his place? Someone realistic…who wants to come here of course.
And if you know better why don’t you apply for his position? :D

I mean what was he supposed to say?

My scudetto team lost a key player and I didn’t get anything I need so we’ve been sucking shit this whole season
i don't want to excuse pioli because he contributes a lot to the current situation, but he was simply set up last summer. there's no other way to put it.
he lost a key player in kessie who wasn't properly replaced. however, the biggest crime was how much pobega and a fucking bench player from wolfsburg were getting hyped here.:fp:

We don’t need a dedicated defensive midfielder. We just need to not always be outnumbered in midi field when we lose the ball and they break our weak counterpress.

It’s easy to once again fallback on the narrative that Paolo chose Pioli and all of the players and they won the Scudetto.

But let’s not act like it was all by design of some massive grand plan:

- Our key players Theo, Leao, even Bennacer were originally signed for a team with Giampaolo as the manager and they were absolutely not good their first season despite showing promise

- Pioli was only hired because we didn’t want to match Spalletti’s salary and he didn’t want to forego his Inda severance check. Pioli was meant to be a stop gap that was going to get replaced anyways and Gazidis was actively looking to replace him.

so it’s not like it’s all part of some master plan and they have a plan to figure this out.

Giving Pioli an extension while we already seemed “off” beginning of this season was rash at best. Considering he hasn’t really shown any trait that would lead us to believe he would be our long term answer

He should have known better.

Coaches don’t get input under this leadership. If we excuse Pioli based on that we’d have to excuse Giampaolo as well

so hipotetically speaking they get rid of Pioli..

Who do you bring instead of him except Zizou?
that would be sexy, but no chance.
