I have missed the start and a goal but i wont complain
Yeah great goal by the usual leao. Great pass from young giroud. However, our defense is getting exposed again.
Live Stream, pls.
Wtf. We’ve been playing like total shit for quite some time now. Pioli and his gay boyfriend krunic again. Our defense has been getting exposed the whole season and pioli hasnt figured it out yet. If his loverboy is gonna play he should be a dm at least not playing in advanced postion. They have 0 difficulty getting in our box. If there is an emergency signing this transfer window it should be a cdm.
I’m glad someone has finally pointed out what I’ve been saying since the beginning of the season. Pioli is terrible at coaching honestly.
Pioli makes the same mistakes every week and Milan either get lucky and win or it’s a struggle. In my opinion I don’t understand why Adli just sits on the bench every game. Adli is one of the best attacking midfielders that Milan has and we saw this in preseason so I don’t understand why he can’t play. Bringing origi on for Brahmin is a waste of a sub because origi doesn’t even really understand that he has to pass the ball at this poin
Our defence is too leaky this year. What a retarded goal we have let through
Usual shit scrambled goal
playung like shit again
miss kessie defensive midfield
pioli has lost the fuking plot change formation and bring Thiaw in last couple games
shiuld have started Rebic on the right ,
And diaz am
Diaz always holds onto the ball for too damn long and never knows what to do with it. Smh
It is frightening how bad this Milan team have become.
We got a lucky bounce to set Leao up and after that Firorentina have been in total control.
Milan look like a shadow of a team.
And honestly we have most of our most important players fit now
In january we need DM and RW. Just fucking buy Douglas Costa for 200k if you dont want to spend
Haven’t watched that guy for some time but pretty sure he can still do a job. One devastating attacker!
Someone here mentioned that Kessie is better than Tonali….and his exclusion is the major reason our defence is leaky now…This is so sad indeed.
Never read such a comment. If there was one than i dont agree with it. However, kessie like player is the reason that our defence is leaky. Pioli keeps playing #33in an advance postion which is useless. He should be a destroyer in midfield and help out in defence. Have tonali venture out a bit more MAYBE.
We score a goal but are playing like sht. Players are clearly checked out.
Milan are fucking woeful
no wonder we couldn’t even beat cremonese
I’m yet to see what Krunic does in this team that keeps him in this team. Come the fuck on Pioli!! You can clearly see the guy is useless.
Also, Dest playing the Barca style but you can see our players are just walking around and not understanding the tiki taka play. Smh
Serie a is over for us, best team we should do is focus our full attention on UCL, but we can’t beat Tottenham like this player like krunic, origi and other average Joe must leave cash need to be splash this January on a RW, botman should have been signed our management is responsible for not getting quality upgrade in the summer, and pioli is responsible for trusting krunic like he some differences maker
Come on leao gotta tuck those babies in. Dest is having a good game so far.
Damn if amrabat # 34 for fiorentina is having a good game. Haven’t been following him much but if he plays like today constantly maldini should think of buying him if he doesnt cost much. Just a thought.
He was excellent
He’s been at the top of his game almost all his life. LOL
In 15mins Vranckx did more than Krunic has ever done in our midfield. And blind Pioli could never see that ?? Smdh
Vranckx has looked good on any of the appearances hes had. Did well tonight, moving around, good on the ball.
Unfortunately its a long time before we see him again. Would have made sense to give him more time before January to see if we need to buy a midfielder or not
Very true bro. I think we can do with another midfielder if we can pls get rid of Krunic once and for all. If we intend to be a top 3 team, then we don’t need players like Krunic getting minutes in this team pls.
Why the hell does krunic get to start when vranckx warms the bench. He’s got height, better speed and better technique that krunic. He seems hungry too. Fu pioli for benching this guy and playing useless 33.
We definitely have more luck than brains
Ahhhahahah, best comment yet.
This is what happens when you try new things. On another day, Pioli would’ve opted for CDK or Pobega over Vrankx but for whatever reason Vrankx played today and saved the day.
Hopefully, this will be a lesson for Pioli, cause Dest and Vrankx changed the dynamics of the game.
Exactly, vranckx is 20 and cdk 21.
So far he looks a better player
Obsolutly. At least vranckx gave us 1 good game or good 15 mins, cdk 0 so far and he had more chamces.
Thanks, Milan….a win is a win, and
Liberia is following.
Massive result, I hope pioli learnt a few things tonight like selection.
Also, special shout out to Dest. That boy can play. If we had a coach that can play 3-4-3 or 3-5-2, our wing backs would be hard to stop for sure.
Well, great to see our boys get those crucial 3 points. However, same problems persist. Pioli better get his stuff together, otherwise 4th place is in a serious doubt with this form. So many games now that we’ve been horrible. Get it together team. Vranckx was great, hard to judge a player with only 1 game but wow. Play this guy more often pioli, and less useless players. Dest was good too when he came on. Hopefully he recovered from that horrendous first few games.
Absolutely dire performance again. Scored in the 2nd minute from a lucky break and then the 92 minute from an own goal. So we couldn’t score against a modest Fiorentina for 90mins. We certainly have no chance of winning the title. We look back to levels of 2 years ago. Top four has to be the aim and that won’t be easy. After all we are only a nose ahead of Inter and Juve, who have been in crisis all season. We shud try getting Kessie back on loan in Jan. Also need to buy a rw and striker. Maybe… Read more »
I wish Boban can come back when Gazidis leaves. We recruited good quality players when he was around. Recently our new arrivals have not been good.
Yeah our summer mercato was a disaster. Though some of that blame falls on the new owners who were so slow to renew M&M.
We missed our targets, and those that came arrived late.
Missed opportunity to build on last season
Yes , we really needed to sign yizech,
instead of banking so heavily on de keteleare
and should have given kessie what he wanted and the captains armband imo
Pioli makes the same mistakes every week and Milan either get lucky and win or it’s a struggle. In my opinion I don’t understand why Adli just sits on the bench every game. Adli is one of the best attacking midfielders that Milan has and we saw this in preseason so I don’t understand why he can’t play. Bringing origi on for Brahmin is a waste of a sub because origi doesn’t even really understand that he has to pass the ball at this point.
in all our players that left on free transfer I think everyone miss kessie the most he is a vital player no doubt but he has gone even if he is to come back January on loan it won’t be like when he was fully a Milan gems
Whether we like it or not there is a generation of players that were born in the late 90’s and early 2000’s who grew up idolizing the great players of that era and we have to admit that all those players played in Spain at that time .The dream of that entire generation is to play for Barcelona or Real Madrid. Kessie unfortunately is a part of that era. Can’t blame anyone for making their dreams a reality.
