I didn’t see the match, but it’s obvious that the team needs investments, especially on defense. I’m really looking forward to the clash against Chelsea and Mourinho for a better understanding of the team…

Forza Milan!!

If you look at our starting line up, what would you expect? I mean look at Man City’s line up dude. You should talk more of the second when there was not much difference in quality, what happened? 0-0

if we had all our players then we would talk. Abate, De sciglio, Zapata, Mexes, Montolivo, Bola, . I only imagine that will be Man City’s starting line for the season. So be cool ese.

Milanese

I litterly cried because of our first half hour preformance the way the commentators were mocking us this is not the Milan that won the 2 most cls wtf is traore doing in this world forget on a football pitch ¡!!!!!!!!¡!!!

But the next 60 mins did show some promise especially veghara and poli el shaarewy got on the score sheet and we played alot of primeva players

red and black

Your comment is hard to follow, it reads like poli and SES got on the score sheet. SES scored our first two and Petagna scored our third before the end of first half. Vergara, Poli, Petagna, SES all had a decent game. (I think even Muntari had surprisingly good performance as he played parts in most of our goals). Kingsley Boateng, Niang, and Cristante all displayed quality for the future. Gabriel had one sporadic moment when he fumbled the ball in his own penalty box gifting Nasri the ball from which he almost scored, but he still had one decent… Read more »

In my world… I careless it is a friendly or not. Milan should not lose a match which includes a Cup in it. Is some silverwear too much to ask for?

nizam

Calm down we lose 3-5 but we are using a lot of young unexperience players and we should be proud with the score line it could be worse like 5-0,6-1 so the one that should be a shame is man.city

1899 Milan

We should have played better but I’m really happy that el shaarawy returned to scoring goals. Forza Milan!!!

The entire defense was awful! Zaccardo, Antonini,and Constant was terrible. Vergara is still a long way from being a starter. That means Milan need a worldclass center back this season. Only Astori seem affordable..Too bad we didn’t get Mehdi Benatia! El Sharaawy showed today he has to play in the midfield or as a striker and not out wide like last season. Both El Sharaawy and Petagna have killer instincts they both need to improve on using both feet though… The game could have easily ended 5-5 if not for El Sharaawy & Petagna misses late in the first half!But… Read more »

Astori isn’t a worldclass center back. Same goes for Ranocchia. They are good defender, but they are not worldclass and world beater as many of you are making them out to be. Ranocchia is slow and he has sporadic performances when playing.

Mattia

Man City played with full squad and I think it wasn’t bad result as we scored 3 goals! Forza Milan.

ACM

People need to stop calling for peoples head over one friendly match and stop talking nonsense acting like they have football management experience. Galliani knows what he is doing more than any of you giving your suggestions on who milan should sign and what formations should be played. This was our second full pre season game.. (third if you count tim trophy), no less than 7 first team players were unavailable. The defensive line in todays game have never played together before. Granted antonnini and zaccardo are not milan quality but they aren’t in the team to be first team… Read more »

Well said, not to mention the fact that Man City played almost their strongest possible team, only Aguero and Kompany were missing from the starters.

ABE

Man City starting line-up: Around 200m pounds
AC Milan starting line-up: Around 40m pounds

On paper they should be 5 times better.
Milan played with the reserves and youth players, City played with almost all of their best players. Milan were beaten by money, but it’s okay.

Kourosh

We should really invest in a top center back if we want to have a chance of qualifying for CL let alone winning the Scudetto. And I’m talking about better than Mexes and Zapata type of center back. Vergara is a good youngster. He has very good physical presence and is not short on confidence considering his age and his debut. Although it’s too soon to judge based on one match, but I think he could be a very good (maybe great) center back in at least two to four years. Maybe Gabriel in not showing anything special but he’s… Read more »

Kick Traore as soon as possible!

Hehehe….MILAN TILL GALLIANI SIGNS MEssi!!!

ChrisMilan

I didn’t watch the game because I’m on my vacation and chillin’ in Turkey, but I would like to put forward some point of views. I’ve said this for several seasons, even when Ibra was still in the club and Boa was scoring pretty goals: Boateng isn’t a treqaurtista. He’s too static and he isn’t classy enough to either control the tempo or like Kaka, inject explosiveness and directness into our attacks. As a box-to-box midfielder I really, really think he can become a Vidal-type-of-player as he is for Juve. It scares me that Allegri hasn’t realized it yet. Let’s… Read more »

Milanista121

I think this shows that we lack that necessary quality in depth, and I hope Galliani realizes it. We do need one more top centre back, because if one of Mexes and Zapata are gone, we are pretty done for in the CB-department. Doubt it with Silvestre’s signing, but you never know though. A new midfielder, perhaps Luiz Gustavo, would be a huge injection to our midfield, and it would help our defence a lot. I mean, we can’t only count on De jong for the entire season, he needs his rest too. And you need quality throughout the entire… Read more »

I just saw the highlight, milan were bad due to three stupid mistakes made by Amelia, and then the rest were defensive. After those 5 goals milan was pretty good , several chanxes were missed for equaliser. Boteng should improve his shootibg skills and I prefer to sell him. Gabrial is our second gk for sure, amelia is bad. Sharawi is doing well and his spirit seems to be back. Hope Honda can join us to close the gap between our middle and front lines.

disguised_fellow

I expected more from Amelia. This is Milan, not some low class team! Why can’t we have the goal scoring attitude since the beginning? It doesn’t matter if it was a friendly or not. I am sure if we had won, we wouldn’t tell everyone that “oh, it was just a friendly match.” We need to work on the defense. And Silvistre isn’t the solution.

axelynx22

Milan were so shaky in the first 36 minutes, with zaccardo, amelia, and traore must take responsibilities for that result.

for the start of 36 to 45 and 45 to 85, we leveled up, and maybe, just maybe if we’re lucky enough we would beat- or at least draw – them.

Relax guys! It’s just friendlies, and this result is better than if we won and we’ve become so cocky!

At least we saw positives performances from our boy El shaarawy, Petagna, Vergara, and Gabriel!

mykel ogbeifun

i dint watch the match but the scoreline sounds alot more decent dan i expected it to be

faul85

Desperate until 36th minutes. It’s like us being bullied by Man.City 2/3 of the Games makes me proud of the “Youngster” (exclude Antonini, Zaccardo,Traore, Amelia) sorry to say this 4 are far below Milan’s Class. Hope some clubs can take them Pleased to see El92 scored again. It’s a boost for his confidence. Agree with comments mentioning EL92 is better in the center of the pitch, not going wide. Gabriel shows some great reflexes (@Kourush, you should see the full game). Need to improve, but shows great signing to be Milan #1. Verghara has great confidence, but sure require more… Read more »

Sidi

I’m watching entire live match, this is my opinion :

GK : Gabriel is better than Amelia for reflect and courage

DF : no leader in our backline without Mexes, poor coordination, esc in offside trap.

MF : no creative midfield entire match. I think Monty and Poli should play together to keep more passing.

FW : lethal weapon if given more support from midfield. El Sha and Petagna is very dangerous.

Forza Milan.

Marijo

We actually played pretty good. Our defence was terrible, but attacking part of our game was really positive. El Shaarawy scored 2, Petagna scored again, Poli was great, Boateng too…

We should still get rid of Antonini, Traore, Emanuelson and Nocerino and buy 1-2 really good defenders. I would go for Santon and for center back, I’m not so sure… Astori, Martins Indi, Rojo… I really don’t know…

Jhayboss

We did good considering the line up.. I think WE can challenge Juve for the scudetto, but for the UCL WE need that squad depth..

Olamilan

The match only shows lot of reasons why some players will never become 1st team player for this team. Am so sorry to mention names like Amelia, Traore among others.
Amelia should be relegated to 3rd choice while Traore should please be sold (NOT LOANED) not to mention is ridiculous wages

Jibola

My overall conclusion after watching the game again. Having a solid first team will win you games and not a championship, the team with best first 11 and DEPTH IN SQUAD wins championships. This game clearly exposed Milan as a club with a very good first team without depth in squad therefore with our current squad Milan cannot win Serie A or CL. Our best bet is Italian cup because that can be won with CHARACTER To fix our depth problem, we need an equally reliable center back, CDM to replace De-Stroyer in case of injury, and of course HONDA.… Read more »

Milanista121

Exactly, that’s what I keep on saying, with those three signings we would be really good. Our quality in depth would increase significantly by “only” three more quality signings! I’d say Luiz Gustavo, to rotate with De jong would be a great coup. He’s brazilian (they often do well at Milan), young, experienced for his age and is very good in the defensive part of the game.

Just read that Vlad Chiriches is going to Tottenham for only 8M Euros …. Why is Kojak not seeing this?

Yommie

Hey Guys,
I’m just happy el faronne is back on the scoresheet but come to think of it with this spirit elsha is showing upfront combined with balotelli’s power…..mehn our strike force would be mouthwatering this season. Forget all those juve nd napoli nd the rest we have the best strike force in italy. I think the top scorer is gonna be between balotelli and el sharwaary tho.
And oh yeah a message for galliani “WE NEED HONDA!!!!”

Matt

Kingsley Boateng played an excellent game. does he have a shot at making the first team in the future?

Taylor

I think all milan needs is 3 signings in honda,ljalic and a good CB this could cover us for the season. But I think one of milan’s problem is allegri he has poor defensive tactics and lacks attacking plans #forza milan.
