I take back everything I ever said about Gerry. I see the light now. Why would he give that imbecile Paul and his dimwit secretary a dollar of his shareholders’ hard earned money? We need a serious management. Hope both of them are sacked at the end of the season and we bring in some experts. Maldini was a legendary player but this line of work just isn’t cut out for him. Take up being an agent or be a pundit like everyone else.
What’s Paul going to say in the post-match interview? That we are still in the top 4? Hapless clown.
It’s quite obvious that Pioli has lost the dressing room. The players don’t care about him one bit. That was the most undisciplined performance I have ever seen. Conmebol qualifiers don’t have as much ill discipline as we showed today. Pretty much every one of our outfield players were booked. Giroud elbowing and kicking everyone in sight and krunic should’ve been sent off.
That’s the fourth match in a row where we conceded at least 2 goals, the third match in a row where we started off the match down 2-0 and the second match in a row where we lose by at least 3 goals. We conceded 5 goals to a sassuolo that is getting destroyed by everyone. Disgusting. The defence is deplorable. The dam has broken and we concede the cheapest goals.
The first goal is a result of lazy collective defending, Gabbia getting spun for the second goal and Tata is always getting beat at his near post! How did he not save that? We conceded off of yet another set piece for the third goal. Giroud and the others are ball watching while Berardi heads it in.
Calabria should not be playing anymore, let alone starting, let alone being our captain for goodness sake. Paul would beat this guy in a 100m race. As soon as the second half starts, we concede a cheap penalty because he’s running like he just came out of a Chinese buffet. He was ahead of the sassuolo player and still got beat to the ball. Just a sad combination of being physically inferior and lack of defensive awareness.
Matheus Henrique scores with ease as soon as he comes on like we were having a yard sale of goals at San siro. Disgraceful defending.
Offensively, everything we do is labourious. At the beginning of the slump, we were complaining about our inability to string 3 passes together. I kid you not, we can’t even complete two consecutive passes. The match was stop-start from the beginning. The long balls are torture. The two biggest culprits are tonali and Calabria. Inter, Lazio and sassuolo all played a simple game of being patient with their passes. How they played compared to us is night and day. We are forcing every little action. What’s the rush? This is all on Pioli. He has run out of ideas.
Why did he take off CDK for leao when he should’ve take off giroud? CDK was slowly building into the match. there were periods of that first half where he was invisible but he was getting on the ball when he had the chance and was building confidence. Taking him off at halftime is terrible for his confidence especially given the fact he didn’t really put a foot wrong and our static movement was a result of giroud and not him. He should’ve taken off giroud and moved Rebic up front.
I’m not even going to speak on Saelemaekers and especially not messias.
I don’t have any expectations for this season. We will need a miracle to stay in the top 4. I just hope this mess is cleaned up at the end of the season.
I don’t mind waking up early for my Milan. I will never complain about that. I just didn’t wake up to see this:
Lazio fans were mocking us with four fingers up last week and now sassuolo fans. We have become the whipping boys of these provinciali and we can’t complain about them because they are playing us off the park every week. Pioli has made us the running joke of Serie A. He must be stopped.
