Keeping Giroud on for 90 minutes in a low block… starting Gabbia again, and Kjaer who is clearly past it… Messias in midfield with actual midfielders on the bench…

Leao on the bench for the second game in a row…


I think I’m finally #PioliOut, tonight was the last straw. Was happy he finally decided to make a change. This ain’t it.

Is there any chance of approaching Klopp? I mean he and Liverpool could use a fresh look as well.
Klopp would transform this team. But he would be highest paid coach in the league and players wouldn't like that. We need to find cheaper solutions in domestic league.

This team is finished with Pioli.

How did Maldini manage to overpay for tonali even after the discount?

:head: :head: :head:

Useless.
He is out of gas.
Tonali theo giroud leao kalulu tomori need a month off to recharge. Calabria and kjaer are behind in fitness, both however are bench option at best.

Too bad we can't afford that.

I think he’s paid 9m net. Not completely out of our league.

I hope Cardinke gets furious and sacks Pioli tonight.

Or else, he doesnt have any love for Milan, which hurts me more.

Why does Gabbia start in front of Thiaw?? Thiaw looks quite decent....
I honestly don't get it

Thiaw looks like a real CB in the making. If he can beef up he would be very intimidating.

Gabbia is not strong physically nor technically, and he can't really read the game well.

You have to question Pioli's choices when something like this is clear to see.

If inexperience is the issue, then why not pair Kjaer with Thiaw while Kjaer can still walk? Gabbia has been tried in every type of partnership and he always looked mediocre.

Why does Messias start in midfield alongside Vranckx? Pioli. Who knows what he is on. He has his favs. It’s so obvious. It’s actually disgusting and hurting us.
That was the worst choice - I mean Giroud starting in that formation was braindead but hey he might get a miraculous touch no matter how astronomical the percentage

But Messias in midfield made zero sense and it was proven just as quickly.

They already had a month off to recharge :lol:

Only Theo and Giroud get a pass.

You can't be fucking starting Messias, if you've benched Leao! First it looked liked the main problem was club spending less. But fucking Pioli starts Messias, Gabbia, Origi.......

Messias is already pretty bad enough in his regular position! And then to play him out of position! Insanity!!

They won't sack Klopp in the process of flaunting the club for sale

Milan will likely appoint Abate for now and hope they can buyout De Zerbi in the summer

Every team look serious against us. I predict Torino will be the last Pioli game . There will be no reason to keep Pioli on the bench if we lose against Torino.

As Curupira alluded to, he needs to learn how to use his body correctly to free himself of being held. Then get enough experience playing to see if he can play consistently at a good level.

Let's not start the whole stamina discussion again. Tonali was watching TV eating pasta e fagioli the whole WC.

I was looking at his stats from last season and the season before that. He led his team and was one of the top 3 defenders in virtually every defensive index in the 2.Bundesliga. I don’t buy the argument that he was a panic buy like vranckx. He was obviously heavily scouted. The kid has talent and is composed in defence. It’s ridiculous that he hasn’t gotten chances this season.

Play Kalulu at RB and start Thiaw. Calabria is unplayable right now and Thiaw looks like a real player.
Most of us have the same idea
Start Thiaw instead of gabbia
Start CDK RW
Sart Adli intead if brahim
Start Vranck instead of pobega
Put kalulu at RB instead of calabria
Try vasques instead of tata

But in the end Pioli will deploy the opposite

It has to be 4-3-1-2 or 4-3-3 there's no other way around it. We don't have strong enough midfielders to play only 2 in front of the defence.

If its the first formation then I prefer Leao-Rebic combo for dynamism. If its the second formation then it's Giroud with Leao and Rebic or CdK on the wings. When you want to play more open you bring in an AM for a CM. When you want to close you take out a forward and add another midfielder. It's not complicated.
