No underating of any club please Let’s be collecting our 3 points gradually and consistently.
They already underrated them and which is why we will lose this match.
Happy to see full strength. Let’s win the game and put pressure on Inter. Hopefully we score enough goals to give tonali, tomori (coming back from injury) leao or Diaz some rest . Although , we don’t play that many games consecutively. We should be able to field a strong 11 each game
This team is just too food to be true!!!! Forza Pioli!
Good*
Yep Forza Pioli – he doesn’t half as much praise on this blog as he should.
l messias!! Get in!!!!!!!!
Salernitana came out like a pack of wolves as expected with a new coach but I think we’re going to get 3 tonight.
What was Mike doing??
Being an idiot. He has done that several times and feels unnecessary, now it bite him.and everyone in the ass.
Fuck 1 : 1
Fukin hell
thought mike had that
playing like crap
diaz can’t do anything
get Leao involved
get a ball in to Giroud
cmon ffucksake
Yapp
I’m tired of dropping point against smal teams.maaaaaannnnn
Guys we just need to win this one. No excuses.
Complacency! We have not won anything yet for crying out loud. I think the praises are getting into Mike’s head. What was that? Leao is just strolling up the pitch. I don’t expect them to continue with this nonsense in the second half.
Dont worry all, Ribic will save us !!!
He’s on for diaz
Haha fuck man it is like you are some kind of traveler with crystall ball
I am too milanminized so I know how they breathe;)
Rebic deserves a freaking medal after this. All running like headless chickens
Brahim is not really doing his expected duty which is to connect play between our back line and the attack. I hope he comes out of his shell in this second half
Yeah Diaz doing nothing at all
cmon score please cmon
anything but a win is a disaster here,
Thought we would win easy after early
goal , what the fucks going on
cmon Rebic
What a fukin shit show
this is fucked
un fukin believeable
I fucking miss Kjear.
Yes, you need men like him to say chill the fuck out, we’ve got this. Something that Romagnoli can’t do. Same as Montolivo, not a single drop of leadership
agree
me too
Be fair. The second goal was Tomori’s fault, not Romag’s
I mean honestly guys you cant win the league if you are doing shit like this.
We have never been convincing. So here we are again. Smh
We are our own enemies
lazy players and by now am sure Inter will be wondering how did we beat them
we are quick to lay claim in winning the Scudetto
Never have confidence
Don‘t really understand why milan is always struggling against smaller team. Milan can‘t afford losing points now..hope the best
The whole team is a garbage tonight except for Romagnoli and Tomori.
Rebic!!!!!!
Damn!!! This feels like a fixed match
Honestly spoilt my whole ticket remaining just Milan and Is painful honestly my team just spoilt the whole weekend but it’s well
You are not far from the truth ….
Honestly. Shockingly, the whole team couldn’t connect two passes. This is a fixed match. Even the reliable Tonali was abysmal.
I am beginning to think in your direction. Could be a fixed match.
But another thing I think is that why always us ? Why Inter doesn’t lose to smaller team at the crucial stage like this ?
Milan has one problem that is new to the team : complacency
Send Diaz back. He is just to weak for serie A
We have the new number 10 : Rebic
I said few weeks ago he’s good central with a great shot from outside box, look what he did tonight. Far more effective at 10 cos diaz not good enough. Real want 22 million for him, no chance send him bk end of season and get vazquez for nothing.
Yes fuck Diaz off
He’s a huge let down
little boy trying to play a man’s game
real will never want him back
he had a chance at 1-0 that would have killed the game off
i’m with you
What a complete disgrace FOR FUCKS SAKES!!!! They lost their mind playing long balls, where was the possession, the cool minded players we need?! For crying out loud, this is on Pioli. The boys are reflecting the pressure and they are not expressing football. Maignan needs to know that against this kind of teams he must the only the necessary. Salermitana?! Freaking Salermitana and they almost lost?! This is a case for the counselors at Milan Lab. How can you win the league like this? This sickens me. All they needed to do was playing simple relaxed football, we have… Read more »
Please stop blaming coach!!! Let’s say tactic bad, where the hell we have seen leao, bennacer, tonali, tomori, Calabria, magnian and … make that much mistake in a simple passing!! Please stop blaming pioli at least for tonight!!!!!!!!
The players did all that they could do, but they needed direction
As I said let’s say they didn’t have any direction, let’s say coach is nowhere in the tactics, what the hell about all those mistakes that players were making?!?!? Somehow you say “players did all they could” that we were playing in final of UCL!!! Comparing the value of our players vs salernitana, we should have won even without coach please understand that!!!
The tactics are excellent, that’s why we are title contenders but if he had one influence I would say it was a negative one, the boys can’t play like that, and that will always be on Pioli. The boys were desperately trying to win while forgetting the essence of Milan.
He is not a very good coach. Pioli won’t bring this team to a glorious era
U can’t win the league dropping 5points to
spezia & salernitarna for fucks sake ,
2wins would have had us well placed
for a scudetto shot , but I have little hope after todays total fuck up
If I was part of the management all the players were punished somehow for this kinda attitude toward small teams.. tonight match showed whenever we are in a good position in the competition they get in the pitch as already winning the match!!! Furioussss
Kessie played where and did what he should be. Duo of Bennacer and Tonali shouldn’t be happen
Yeah kessie should have come back into the staring line up in my opinion
so far he is still our best box to box midfielder and suit to double pivot
What a bad game but all does the best didn’t ever expected this to happen I carried Milan all over my betslip it’s a sad one but I don’t know what went wrong hope there bounce back fast if we can’t beat the last team on the log now it’s a huge problem that need to be fix
From what I saw tonight against Salernitana, Milan is not yet ready to win the league. Every time we have the opportunity to put pressure on Inter, that is when the team will lose ridiculously to bottom table teams e.g. spezia. To win the league you must beat the bottom table teams because they are in the majority.
This team lacks ambition. Getting a draw with a team with less than 15 pts. is UNACCEPTABLE.
Professionalism is what they lacked
The team had an entire week to rest and train yet they played like shit. No one stood out. It’s just unbelievable. I think we should stop raising our expectations. No winning mentality from any of the players nor the coach. Let’s just hope for a top 4 finish. Pioli is going to come out and say Salernitana is playing Champions League football . Leao was exceptionally awful and annoying.
I saw many of the players didn’t at their best shape. Leao for instance
We payed for being overconfident. You cant expect to only push in the last 20min or so and win the game.
We just walked casualy on the field before that as if the win was just gonna come to us by itself. Maignan mistakes were also from overconfidens. He did good in the previous games and it seems that it went to his head, so he startet to rush forward as if he is Manuel Neuer, something that he didn’t used to do before.
I hope Maignan learn something from his mistake
We don’t deserve to win the title. We are not there.
Also the management need to invest some fccccking money. We need a playermaker and proven striker.
Commentator curse talking up mike maignan
until he had a fuking nightmare,
thiught he had that covered to punch away from danger
This is ridiculous. I even dared myself to compare the big three’s schedules to see if ours have some kind of advantage over the other’s. But yes, top four mentality it is, we snapped at the first challange
Not defending Leao, but the boy might’ve been distracted by the verdict. Really poor performance, his touching was off.
I thought so too bro. He has case to be decided this week and as a human it’s normal for him to be distracted by that. The coach should have rested him in this game since Rebic was available but our “tactician” coach can’t figure that out. Smh
!6 Million is not a little, even for millionaire. Glad they cleared him from that burden
It is frustrating to see milan keep droping points against lower table team. I am not sure whether it is something to do with mentality or mindset of the players who tend to underestimate the weaker opponets.
Leao run a lot with ball and lost it. Annoying. Despite his goal, Rebic seemed had smoked before match, his touch at most occasions just like amateur footballer.
If you can’t win games like this, don’t expect the title. Overconfidence kills. Sloppy play from all the players. They do this often and it’s unacceptable.
now we have found our best 4 attackers. pacy-tricky-dribbler at LW. composure-header-finisher at RW. medium shooter-quick reaction-header at Second Line. Header-back to goal-flick on at CF. A complete combination to guarantee goals. Leao-Rebic-Messias-Giroud should play together more. They will be very strong. Their combination will scarry any teams
The goal conceded is because personal wrong decision: Maignan and Romagnoli who chased the opponent to the side and leave Tomori with 2 meters striker. But I like the combination of our 4 attackers since Rebic in. I hope Pioli learn something from this
This weekend in Italy is something else inter trailing well it’s for our own good
I know but it makes our result even worse in a way. If we won we would have 2 more points on them, we do this all time
Not really. It helps us. Would have been nice to have the 2 extra points. But at the end of the day I trust pioli more than inzaghi to rebound. Inzaghis lazio teams were notorious for starting hot and then fading.
Yeah, Inter’s player acted so cockily before the derby. They act like they are back-to-back winners in 3 consecutive year.
I think their rhythm somehow disturbed by the derby lost, yes they won in the coppa after that, but they are starting to feel the pressure.
That spitting sc*mbag Lautaro and Dzeko are struggling to score goal. I wish we can pile that up in the next derby.
Napoli is doing well, but Spaletti is not a scudetto material, they will somehow slow down, the problem is neither our couch
im really starting to few for Italian football. The league is suffering, even the so called top teams can’t even compete in Europe anymore. I wonder if an Italian team would ever win the ucl trophy ever again.
For the time been there was a time Italian league dominated Europe as well but now it’s English all through maybe psg and Bayern for now but with the right players I think Milan will give a shout to it once more once it comes to Europe milan has DNA on it that’s what am sure off
All the top 5 teams no one could win this weekend hope it’s not all match fixing lol anyway the result went our way tho
watching cagliari – napoli, and ex milan’s primavera bellanova is just so awesome
with Napoli losing, Serie A is crazy. It goes to show, no team is immune to bad games. in a season, whoever is the most consistent wins. —I still think it was a missed opportunity for us. Salertinana is the WORST team in serie a.
It shows the weekend was not for the big boys irrespective of who your opponents is kinda of suspected match fixing most especially Milan game because it’s a most win match and salertinana are the worst team playing with Milan the consistent team win the league but am sure we are qualifying for champions league
