Pulisic was untethered and full of confidence. He played with heart, belief, emotion and instinct. I love that he demanded the ball on the assist. Love how he scores an absolute golazo and then immediately wants to get back at it, not looking for congratulations. If Leao's trademark look is a smile, Pulisic's is a scowl. When he plays with anger and emotion like that, it's on!
As a USMNT fan, you took the words out of my mouth. When pulisic is mad, he will impose his will on the match. If he can become settled and confident, he will be very solid for Milan in the future
Not to mention his frustration firing him up. He did confront the adversaries in ways he had yet to show at Milan
Pulisic On point. , and you can tell that he was missing the first half cus the defense job he provided to the team , but nobody see that in the game . He is so unselfish player. He work for the team no for himself. That way he pass the ball ⚽️ all the time is world class.
Admittedly, I was blaming Pioli until I watched your video. My heart breaks for what happened today. But Kush said it best… Jovic’s emotional state really let down the club today. Respect for Rafa going out there in the second half with an injury. Giroud and Pulisic really were the heart and soul of this team today.
I screamed in joy at Pulisic when he scored, and I screamed in anger when Monza scored TWICE IN EXTRA TIME
Who is already scared of the next derby 👇👇
We’re screwed for sure
I was planning to go watch the della madonina derby but i dont plan to spend money for this circus. Flight, accomodation etc, just to watch those idiots to open their legs. Sorry but not going to happen
🤚
Theres a chance we can do something but unlikely
No , guys, we just dont have a good coach and the bench lacks a lot. In the end, we did not rest the squad for our EL match, we wasted resources and we threw away valuable points. I feel for the players who did leave it all in the field like Pulisic, Florenzi , Gabbia even Theo. I think Pioli needs to make better choicea, if Malik is not up to it, he no longer should be a starter and probably sell him next and look for a world class defender.
At this point we all should just band together and see the season out. Once we get a new coach they can make roster decisions and we'll go from there but we can't fire pioli at this point so we will be frustrated like this here and again until the summer. We can just hope that our best players continue to grow and we try to win Europa. Pulisic had to go closer to goal bc of the context and he dictated play and was often a few steps ahead of his own teammates. He often makes those runs but this time he yelled and demanded the ball. He took that game over, he will be crucial next season.
You are absolutely correct on everything. Admittedly Pulisic is my favorite player, being American myself. However I have been a Milan fan since 2002 and all I want is to stop having a heart attack every game we play. I hope Chuk gets better, I understand he was playing while gone, but he didn’t play any better or worse than usual. He has not changed since the season started. Giroud and Pulisic play with passion some other players play for their own glory.
If Rafa is injured he needs to rest and get better, they can move Pulisic back to the left side and start chukweze on the right or keep Pulisic on the right and have okafor play left side, but to be asking for more from Pulisic while excusing Rafa all season is not fair at all or reasonable. Players go in and out of form but sports are a what have you done for me lately business and if we are not going to rest Leao until he is healthy we are going to have to accept this is his level now because this has been his consistency.... at least for this season.
Well said.
Olivier Giroud is a beast! I have not given him enough credit lately, but he’s an exceptional striker, and is so important to Milan. My heart goes out to Leao, Giroud, and Pulisic. To put in that kind of effort, just to fall short in the end, has to feel terrible. The defense and certain players let the team down today. This one hurts!
Your reaction to Christian’s goal gave me goosebumps. Makes me want to run through a brick wall.
Pioli has been playing Pulisic mainly as a second Right Back. He was forced to make Pulisic play forward more and it showed.
Exactly. People never look at where the player is positioned and with a winger what side of the field is the team attacking. Milan, with Leao is predominately a left handed team. Pulisic has defensive duties and often sits between midline and the 20 yard line. Also, while he didn't get a good job shoutout - Musah. Wow. Imagine this young player in a year. He's only going to get better. I read all this stuff about American owners sticking the team with two American players- iigets
Exacto, and you can tell that he was missing the first half cus the defense job he provided to the the team .
Exacto. On point. , and you can tell that he was missing the first half cus the defense job he provided to the the team , but nobody see that in the game . He is so selfish player. He work for the team no for himself. That way he pass the ball ⚽️ all the time is world class.
@@jamesarndt6059 Musah is great, I think the problem was pioli mistaking his ability to do some great runs with him being able to play up, he was horrible as a winger because HE ISN'T ONE, he can be our new kessie and Gosh have we been in need of a new kessie
All spot on. To be fair that would have been pulsiics 5th game winner or results getter and Leao still hasn’t scored a league goal since September. But this isn’t about Leao lol he played well last game. Pulisic has done that shot and hit the crossbar 3 times this season. Mind you this is with his weak foot. And it’s more than the shot. It’s how much harder, more than you could fathom to have the sheer confidence leap has to take on defender week after week then attempt a curled shot perfectly from for top bins. Now do that with your non dominant foot every week or the media or fans will say ya what, your need to score goalazos each week or we’re gonna ask why aren’t you playing more like Leao. Plot twist, 25 year old American who was a Chelsea “flop” has more than double the ballon dors goals in league and the same
GA over all
Comps in just 45
More minutes played. Repeat it will me. “From his weak
Foot
Side” so I realize you green boxed him. But don’t make it a backhanded green box. He have a GA for 5
Games. The message should be what would would this seasons standing look like without Christian. Milan’s in 8th or 9th
Finally an actual level headed fan who can see that this result was not Pioli's fault. Honestly I am so sick and tired of Milan fans shouting Pioli out and blaming him for EVERYTHING. They claim he should have stuck with the regular 11 but would be the same people to accuse him of not rotating enough. They are the same morons saying it's Pioli's fault that Thiaw made a clumsy challenge in the box. The same morons claiming it was Pioli's fault for Jovic getting himself sent off. The same morons who suddenly become master tacticians with the benefit of hindsight after a poor result but would disappear when Milan win games or go on an unbeaten run. The same morons who claim we can't win trophies with Pioli when we literally won the scudetto just 2 seasons ago.
Pioli is NOT a world class manager and he never will be but he certainly does not deserve the criticism and outright disrespect he has been getting from so many fans. Before Pioli came we were at rock bottom and competing in the champions league or even winning the scudetto were just dreams and not reality. Yes he makes mistakes but what manager doesn't. Give the man some respect.
Pioli is not a bad manager and the criticism is surely over the top but he ain't a world class one either.
We have simic on the bench and he proved to be ready to be part of the starting 11.
Malick was just coming back from a long injury, he obviously hasn't got that "pitch feeling" yet, he needs time to readapt.
He should have played the last 15 to 25 minutes.
Chuku just came back from the African Cup.
The massive turnover was also useless, why?? Yes, we play mid week, but with a "bad" team and starting with a 3-0 lead. Why were Giroud, Leao, Pulisic AND Reijnders on the bench?? 4 KEY players.
We were playing better than Monza in a 10v11 situation as soon as these players were on the pitch. They should have started, secured the advantage (possibily in the first half) and THEN be substituted to rest.
And what now? These players are now tired anyways, due to the 10v11 situation, and we also lost points. Against Monza. Inter won 5-1 over them. Plus they scored more goals against us, than in the last 4/5 matches (if I'm not mistaken).
I'm not a manager, Pioli surely knows better, but this is not the first time we lost points due to his incompetence regarding the turnover ://
Thus said, the chances of winning the scudetto were slim anyways, so let's hope for a long run in the Europa League, we might have a chance there.
@@Lucian_Radu Thiaw HAD TO play this match, Kjiaer was tired and not in good form. Malik is one of our starters, he must get into shape fast by playing and has already get some minutes the last game.
this was the perfect game to put him as a starter IMO, I can't blame Pioli for this.
@@AlFaroBeer He could have started the next cup match, as I said, we have a 3-0 lead, why now?? We could have made it to second place, this game was crucial for the morale.
We've been in no mans land for so long, it was the perfect chance to "boost" our players confidence.
Everyone worked hard the past months to be here, and now we threw most of that work down the sink :/
@@Lucian_Radu obviously you don't realize the importance of not risk anything in europa league.
Thiaw will be a starter even there. he is our starter with Tomori, remember last year?
and beside that, who in the world would have put Kjaer this game? be honest
This was your best video. You hit everything on the head.
I think you forgot to talk about musahs performance it was great!
Gabbia can be a true leader on this team. When Leao lost the ball on a poor attempt to drop it to Theo, forcing Gabbia to take a yellow, Gabbia let him know. Holding the superstars accountable is a sign of strong leadership.
Yep rafa just stood there
If Ac Milan want to win trophies they need a quality defensive line
Painfully obvious that Milan need two quality CBs
We have timori so we just need one decent cb
100% agree with you on this game -- this isn't on Pioli, he has to rest players especially coming off a mid-week game. Thiaw, Adli, and Jovic just let us down.
Kush - fantastic, level headed analysis as usual. This channel is gold. Totally agree on your opening point on pioli and final considerations. I would add Bennacer as a positive note and loftus cheek as a red box today.
Guess leao has had a “calf strain” most of the season with him walking 90% of the time he is on the pitch lol
Analysis spot on as usual!
🫡
Great analysis! Is Thiaw at age 22 more prone to mental lapses than Simic at age 18? Simic oozes confidence. He can be a beast by age 22 if given opportunities!
Just when you started questioning if Pioli should stay or not... there he goes again an does a number against Monza. Im finally breaking and saying Pioli OUT!
I was very hopeful yesterday before the start of the match to see what these subs could do given the chance to start against a mid table team and glad to see players like Giroud and Pulisic given rest time. It soon became clear pioli was gonna be forced to put the big boys back in there to try to rescue the situation. Milan can barely put one very good team together to play 90 minutes while Inter can comfortably field two strong squads. We’re similar to smaller clubs like Lazio which lack depth.
inter don't usually rest both thuram and Lautaron at the same time, one of the stars starts, one out of Pulisic, Giroud and should had started
giroud was supposed to be rested this whole game and now he had to play more minutes this game because of jovic he's played so much at his age
1)milan has looked shakey without Tomori, and the lack of depth in defense(cb,rb,lb) included starts to show. Our second-string squad just isnt good enough.
2) milan need to find a CF to replace giroud for when he retires ... Moncada should have pushed in the winter mercato.. so hopefully in the summer transfers we see more depth
3)as much as i don't want to blame Pioli for the match, making 6 outfield changes suddenly together has historically never worked. Yes I agree his hands are pretty much tied atm..So I blame upper management for that.
4) luka Jovic is a good sub but not starting material and his unprofessionalism costed us cause the people who came on I saw drive and desire to go get the goals back.
5) I dont see the value milan paid for chukweze tbh. Pulisic is a naturally a left winger but playing right for us and is still outperforming a person who is meant to be on the right not only that he came to us for a fraction of that cost.
Tomori is useless!
Adli had been playing decently lately but in this match he was definitely horrible.
I think you went too soft on Chukweze, besides that play that your mentioned he did nothing and lost the ball multiple times. And to add to this, the criticsim towards him I would say is not entirely based on this match, it's an accumulation of the entire season where he's been really disappointing.
Okafor was equally horrible yesterday, he and Jovic might be fine as substitutes but as starters definitely not.
On the matter of Jovic, yeah he is a decent poacher, but you can see from miles away that when he is on the ball he has no skill, Giroud is ten times better.
At the end of the day we want to see all these mentioned players do well of course, but we are AC Milan why do we even have these low quality players on the squad to begin with??
I personally believe that when tomori returns , thiaw should move to the bench as gabbia has been a lot better ( knowing pioli master class , he wont do that) but gabbia is much smarter in his tackles and an excellent carrier of the ball , on the other hand malick thiaw aint bad but he just gives away stupid fouls which have costed us a lot of games as you mentioned..
Anways forza milan❤❤❤ hopefully we cand finish second this season .
Gabba fouls, but these are strategic fouls 40 yds from goal. He is a smart and in control player.
But this bad rotation management has been a problem for three seasons. I think that Pioli has to take some of the blame. He doesn't rotate well and doesn't prepare a line up that has a synergy.
Leao should have played this one from the start, rest the other two and he rests the rennes one
1:20 Thiaw said “wanna see me do it again?” 🤦♂️
Our defense has been bad this season.Gabbia being the best defender for us this season also shows other defenders have been awful.
i do kinda feel maignan form has dropped alot like this year he has
played 9 games:
13 goals conceaded
5 penalty conceaded: (0 saved)
And he have done some msitakes like that one against bologna frosinoe and today
As a Liverpool fan Milan web to play free flowing football Monza had other plans some of Milan’s players got sucked in to the antics and anti football tactics from monza they will learn
As much as how bad Adli was yesterday, but let’s not forget he is playing out of position! Also he needs to play faster, he slows the pace of the game.
Pulisic and Giroud were literally on 🔥
Malick Thiaw was absolutely childish.
And Jovic
@@steph8010 time to grow up dont you think? He has been having alot of chances and he has also been a dissapointment in the big games.
It's totally Pioli's fault, let's not lie to ourselves, if he's incapable of coaching some decent tacticts to his players that they can rely on, other than "ball to Leao, insane speed to the box and hope for the best or for Giroud to salvage a goal somehow". Outside of these key players (Leao, Theo, Giroud etc) that will win you duels with their mismatch in speed or strenght, there's frankly not that much in terms of tacticts to this Milan, their pressing is aggressive but disorganized, same with their defense, its really fast so they can be aggressive and get back quickly, but they get there and look disjointed in positioning and confused at times. It's no surprise that when a team can neutralize or negate spaces to 2 or 3 of these players they straight up have no clue on what to do. Plus Pioli it's years that he's doing a poor job integrating new players (just look at DeKetelare, with some actual work and vision he's doing great now) just hammering down on his over reliance to these key players. This Milan feels that it performs at 40% of what could really do, you just need a proper coach with some vision, ideas; I mean, thanks Pioli for guiding this squad from the lows to the highs they are now, but please, get the fuck out thanks, its time for someone new (possibly talented with some ideas)
Thank god I decided to go to sleep and gave up the game before it even started (the game started 02:45 in the morning for my time zone) otherwise i’ll be working with 2 hrs sleep or no sleep at all 😂😂. Anyway, love your vids, Kush. Hello from Thailand 🇹🇭 🇹🇭
Perfectly said kush. We should have known a game like this was bound to be a disaster. We should have put money on maldini or colombo to score against us. We have seen it too many time before. I’m not a pioli in or out type of fan. I’m happy for everything he has done with the squad since taking over and I do see his limitations but a lot of the problems this season are not his fault. The amount of red cards and penalties we have conceded is insane and we are still second place ? Wow
You know , something i realised ( correct me if I am wrong ) that all the signings that were identified by Maldini - aka rlc, pulisic, and tijani :)))) have played so well for us and fitted perfectly
On the other hand the signings identified by the coach and management are living off of 1 world class moment while being shit rest of the games aka Samuel - Chuck e cheese,noel score no goal ( I know I am a bit harsh but they haven't really done anything)
So I do believe that it is the management 's fault and if Maldini has stayed , pioli 's job wouldn't have been in danger.....
I thought it was maldini who said Pulisic, Chukuweze, and RLC were a waste of funds. He said they weren’t needed lol
@@InternationalScoop wait , didn't he say that chuckwueze is waste of funds as €30 mil is too much for him . On the other hand a year ago milan had offered leao in a swap deal to Chelsea for pulisic, but it didn't matterialse...also they have had rlc on their list for long time the previous year
Shitwueze is a terrible player, he lives off of his brace vs Real Madrid. He is so predictable, and one-footed, he always takes the ball to his left foot and cuts inside, he can't do anything else. When he tries to dribble he runs into the defender and loses the ball. We should look to sell him in the summer for 20 mil. He was poor in the AFCON as well.
In all fairness you are probably the only objective opinionist that i have heard in months, italian media are really annoying for how biased they are.
It’s always the defense messing it up
Can't believe that our second team can't even be trusted to beat a team like Monza
I thought musah did well. He had a few good runs and always goes back on defense. I like aggressive musah.
The problem IS Pioli. It's not possible that the team doesn't know how to make three consecutive pass at the stage of the season. You can lose for individual errors, but you can't play that bad. No one is getting better under Pioli's coaching. Leao, CDK, Chucu, Thiaw... every single young player that need the help of the coach the most get worse.
I’ve had this thought in mind for sometime.Braim diaz is a perfect example, just look at him now.
Magnian is week when he has to defend the near post. It shows in every match
When Pioli made that change with Musah for Florenzi that’s when the match went to the dirt. Musah was not playing in any position, and that 3rd goal came from that flank, why did he make that change??? It’s not even Musah’s fault, that’s not his role, no one even understood his role, why not terraciano or Jimenez? This is ALSO PIOLI’s fault, not just his fault, but he must be getting a red box too.
It was clear that when Musah came in Pioli switched to a 3-man back (you can see Musah giving instructions to Gabbia and Thiaw when he entered the game). They were chasing the game and needed more bodies forward. At that point it was 2-1. It was the right call.
Musah did well this game. Idk what you were watching. I would be critical of musah but not that game.
Thiaw disasterous performance
Dude, I think it's Pioli's fault. If we go on a losing streak or drop out of Top 4, he is definitely gonna get sacked!
oh shit our next game is against our second owner atlanta we def gonna lose
Thanks for the video! Game was very hard to watch today. I have a few questions for you/opinions.
1. I feel like Musah maybe deserved a chance to start today over Adli. Lately he has brought a lot of spark off the bench in the little time he has gotten. What do you think?
2. Gabbia has been excellent so far for us. Do you think when Tomori gets back he can be a legitimate long term starting center back partner? If he continues to play the way he has and continue the rest of the season I think he has earned a role over Thaiw at least. Honestly I have never been impressed with Thiaw.
3. Completely agree with your take on Oli and Jovic. Oli starter, Jovic off the bench. It seems like Okafor hasn’t gotten much time at the striker spot lately and has been more of a Leao replacement. Would you want to see him play the striker more and maybe open up more in behind runs than Oli can offer?
4. One thing I do blame Pioli for this match is subbing on Leao. If Leao isn’t fit, why put him on? Especially when Okafor was actually looking okay on the wing? Seems like a poor decision. To me either Pioli shouldn’t have put Leao on or Leao had a poor performance. Also, I am curious how much input you have as a player to say I’m not fit to go in, but maybe that should’ve been what Leao did today. 🤷🏼♂️ Interested in your thoughts!
For Musah, he played 90 against Rennes. I think he was being rested too. Love his workrate!
I though Chuk was decent, one of the few in the first half who did well, actually
#PioliOut. Just as some people start thinking he should stay, he proves once again what a mediocre coach he's always been. Rotates like crazy against a Monza who were out for our scalp. I continue to maintain that we can't make a step forward until we get rid of this guy. In fact, we keep risking a top 4 finish every year now. We are lucky that the Roman teams have been terrible. But Roma is coming and so is Atalanta.
7:15 Your best goal reaction so far.
Can we send chukwueze back to Spain he’s so bad, should’ve given Romero a chance
Romero can't even play for Lazio and Almeria
Romero is trash. Chuck will be fine.
You know you're a pothead when you see the word "Football kush" and immediately want to hit the grass. Subscribed for the channel name alone. Lol
😅
I thought this was a good time to give players rest, especially if they were asking for it. Unfortunately just a bunch of bad and mediocre performances from the starting 11. The last 45 was fun to watch, but what a disappointing end. Nice break down
Pulisic needs to stay on the bench for the second leg in the UEL
I would agree but chukwueze needs rest too and i would not start okafor on the right the only thing i can think of is starting musah on the right wing
@@thejcpworld play the kid Traore
@@jackpineda4656 I think he was sent to Palermo on loan

alright ya changed my mind ..... but this still sucks losing to monza T_T
When the club not hired quality players Proven players, we will be at this level for a long time. The owner doesn't know we are a title club and any season without a cup is a complete failure. Sorry but we are not a club to develop talent and wait for years. This is why you pay young inexperienced players with no experience and apparently not high potential.Allegedly, we strengthened the team, but what it turned out, of all, only Pulisic, Reynards and Loftus are fit for now. This season did not show progress in game and style. No change in anything positive. Another season without a trophy shame shame but no one cares.Maldini's sacking proves all this and where we are going. Having a proven name and a professional and having him fired because you don't invest in anything is clear that we will be a mediocre team.
This should have been the game that u can start ur subs. But nope !! Can’t blame the coach
Pioli is to blame.. Why are you switching the players ?? why?? Pioli was not supposed to field some of these players. maintain your team !!!!!
I think we cut thiaw a break he got called up to Germany because of his performances with us we’ve seen flashes of genius and when you consider how young he is you have to give these kids a chance to make mistakes and keep playing I understand he’s a defender and a mistake from him could end up in a goal whereas if leao makes a mistake he still has 2 ranks of players to recover the ball
100%... Let's also have perspective. Inter are winning the league and we are 3 points from Juventus. It's still on for second place whatever value that has....
Hold on until next week vs Atalanta. If we lose and Bologna win, from 2 we may end up fighting for 5
@@xvxxvx4750 don't get me wrong we can still f*** this up even more. But right now we are still in a decent spot.
Not much value sadly if Inter are the one in 1st haha!
They let down their coach, whos already under pressure... Poor display from two players .. Thus game was to put us 2nd
11:59 / 12:22. I also think that we can try Okafor in that position🤔
I don’t know but this game gave me a vibe of a fixed match just looking at how Mike Maignan was jumping after each goals gave me that impression
Ay man you’ve been saying we needed a 9 so they sat Giroud and you said Pulisic needed a rest and has been off form. So they didn’t start…. 😅
I know we could have jumped Juve if we won but we are not going to catch inter so the Scudetto is not happening this season. Pioli was rotating looking forward to the second leg against Rennes. The players blew this one and if you want to blame Pioli that’s a different but valid conversation.
Anybody that don't blame pioli for today is crazy. I understand thiaw but u can't play okafor on the wing the team is out of shape. Okafor is a poacher which he is effective. U can't start a team wid chukweuze okafor and jovic
How come this is not Pioli’s fault ?
Thiaw should have not played in the first place its clear that he is not mentally fit to start
Right?! Simic should have played instead on Thiaw until he is fit, or theo center and bring Terracciano, and one of the starter fowards should have start, we can't rest everyone
I agree 100%
The whole team is just not really better than the current level, which to be fair in relation to time and money invested is not even a problem since we are overachieving compared to our squad cost etc. I feel like a lot of fans are too ambitious, there is not going to be a next level until we secure a jump in revenue with a new stadium.
❤🖤
Fully agree with everything you said.
How do ppl blame coaches beyond me 😂
Spot on. I would have started Musah however. Other than that, what’s he gonna do?
When musah is aggressive he tends to attack defenses. But he's not the aggressive type for some reason. You can see him take on players and pass by them.
I also didn't blame Pioli for the nonsense these players did. Those mistakes are things a manager cannot control at the end of the day. Let's just hope the players would understand their mistakes and control their emotions because it's not the first red card We get this season from anger
As long as Pioli is our coach, we will amount to nothing
I don't know. I feel like this can be the coach's fault and the players' fault.....
Sometimes I wonder how some of these players are wearing this kit, truly shocking.
It's Sunday League after you had a few pints in you pub style defending by Thiaw! The Inter fans are rolling like pigs in the mud happy as hell!!! Ahaha!!
Sorry, Pioli chose this line-up. Period. The result? Players didn't rest and didn"t win either. Terrible management.
The 10 victorys mean little becouse if we watch how we won then for majority was not brillant games, the question is: how much positive things pioli have compared to the negative one? Becouse between injuries (he got a lot of injuries everywhere he have been and he bring with him his friends of the atheltic staff so are 100% them) bad torunover, no defensive plans, no attacking plans, no game overall, undervalue smaller team which then cause the bad tournover then what pioli have good? Yes he did let grow young players but now we need more and with the new young he not doing it this well as with theo leao ecc, if we do all bad even if we win is not a thing to put in favor of pioli
I’ve never believed in Adli. I think he is overrated
Why is it that half ever game I miss of Ac Milan, Pulisic scores?
I really believe we will not see any change until we have a better coach and a board willing to spend in the transfer windows.
Caridnale said the budget is €100m, apparently.
I still blame Pioli he puts a weak team when the 2nd place is on the line, if Thiaw wasn't fit still why play him, he wanted to rest the attacking players meanwhile they had to pur double the effort negating any rest they could of gotten, why not play the youth to see if they can make a name for themselves if this Monza team was that weak
Your boy Thiaw got exposed time and time again lmao
He did. I admit I like Thiaw but he lost his brain. Still I’d rather have that than that disasterclass of Jovic.
🔥🔥 very true on lots
The back line, mainly the CBs is really horrendous! Tomori being clearly levels above his counterparts. Thiaw has made horrid decisions time & time again on the pitch to the point I’m surprised he’s a professional player.
This is where the scouting department needs to earn their money. Making smart signings to some young players & a few veterans to improve the depth of this team is major. Because as the team is built now it’s just not good enough to compete for any trophies.
Milan is a huge club with a lot of history it definitely should play & act like it. You can’t have too many underachieving players on the team it’s a bad look. Pioli is a decent manager but idk if he can lead Milan back to the very TOP of Italian & European football.
No, Pioli shouldve not played Malik from start. Thats Pioli's fault
Kush, right on with Pioli, however, the amount of rotation nakes no sense. Qe all know that a couple of changes are good to start, resolve the game in the first half and then make the substitutions. PIOLI CONTINUES TO MESS UP doing thw opposite. We know it is suicide we were down 2-0. And yes, the players who started did not help... also what is wrong to play okafor as a 9. We knkmow jovic is nothing without Giroud
Jovic is a disgrace so ridiculous
Onestly jovič propoblay slapped the player because he was making fun of jovič
It isn't pioli's job to instill discipline on his players? I will exempt pioli from the stupid jovic red card, but thats it. This is not the first time Malick Thiaw makes a stupid tackle or mistake, the juve game comes to mind, but there are many more examples of lack of discipline from not only thiaw, but the team as a whole. The last quality Head coach that milan employed was Ancelotti about 15 years ago. It seems to me that Milan ownership, management and the fans have been undervaluing the importance of a good head coach. You can always pull the card, that it wasn't pioli's fault, I get it, he doesn't play on the field and he didn't tell thiaw to make that stupid mistake, But with all due respect kush, you are analyzing the Head Coaching job all wrong. A head coach, like any leader within an organization, has the responsibility to make everybody else better. Starting next season, I will be alot more demanding on ownership and management. They need to replace pioli with a top quality manager, if they don't, expect inter to pull away from us in the scudetto title count. This is serious, Pioli has to go. Being fair to him, he brought stability to the club and overachieved winning the scudetto. However, he just doesn't have the leadership and coaching skills we need, to reach the next level. Thank you pioli, but, Goodbye.
Okay but Pioli played that disastrous rotation right? And Thiaw is just coming back, he is absolutely out of form (tho still inexcusable play)
I am sick and tired of this shit performance against teams that milan is supposed to win. I dont blame pioli, i blame the management and this shit Cardinale who thinks he knows about football. Cardinale thinks attacks win games while defense go to hell. I blame Cardinale for the mess this club is in and for keeping Pioli. I told u kush this guy is bad news when he fired Maldini. Mallik Thiaw needs to be sent to Milan Academy to learn how to defend, i am sick of this guy's shit defending and reckless tackling. Thiaw needs to realize he is playing for the AC Milan not some ordinary club, pioli needs to give him a ultimatum that if he keeps on doing such schoolboy defending then consider getting kicked out of Milan. WTF was wrong with Jovic? He lost the game for Milan in my opinion, does he have any sense that his team is losing and there is a chance they would make a comeback? This guy thought about himself only not for the good of the team. He needs to be punished and his teammates should knock some sense into him. Kush u know recently Inter signed Taremi, questions needs to be asked of the management of why didnt they sell giroud? Dont get me wrong Giroud is good but not that good given his age. This is all because of this Cardinale.
im not sure i agree. pioli needs to be situationally aware about milan standing in the table. we are in a race with juve for 2nd and pushing to catch inter. we are not manchester city. we need to be fielding the best XI possible every single game week
The issue is that Leao and Pulisic both were injured/fatigued so those changes were forced on the coach, Thiaw could be a debate but as you can tell, imo it made sense to start him.
I'm a huge AC Milan fan from southern Italy
I love the fact that you are:
1. Huge AC Milan fan just like me.
2. Canadian(?) and knowledgeable about football.
P.S. I don't care who but either the democrats or the GOP nominee for 2024 should be Christian Pulisic.
I want to see Pulisic rule the country.
Best right winger we had in a very long time.
I think Kush is Canadian lol
@@brittaniwilliford1256 oh man I'm so sorry
😅 Yes I am Canadian and Indian 🙏🏼
