Love that you gave credit to Pulisic's heart, dude always plays with passion.
Magic Mike deserved a green box
2 or 3 good saves
Pulisic is just tired.
He's been aa soldier for us, and it's insane how many miles he's put in for us all season.
Give him a rest like Reijnders and he'll be back to his best.
With Chukwueze back he should get more rest. But with the crazy injury situation and AFCON he pretty much had to play.
Yeah, I think he needs rest for sure.
Leao has been great the whole time....🔥🔥
I think so too!
I mean he wasn’t great in 2023 in the winter
Hear me out
RLC as a pressing striker
Pullisic as no.10
Samuel on tight
RLC can't do what Giroud and Jovic can though.
Anyone who call themselves a pulisic fan and criticizes Leao don’t know ball, so don’t pay attention to them. People who know ball know what he adds not only to Milan’s game but also to Pulisics.
Nobody is above criticism but Laeo was great today
Whst are u talking about
Who has ever said Raphie does not pass the ball dude. No one has. Common man.
So I have knowticed. In the last month in a half they have been focusing on getting Raphie heavily involved as in play through him. Makes sense he is there star player. But what it’s doing is making Christian more of a dirt dog and doing all the dirty work It’s like he is playing more of a midfield roll
Why are you trying to divide the TEAM lol if one’s doing well and the others not no matter who it is be happy for the team if they are complimenting each other and still winning! You can have both guys doing well and be happy for both! Why compare and tear down players on your team? Especially when they are both doing good
I'd like to see Pulisic operating as a CAM, with Loftus and Reijnders in the midfield, either as CM or CDM. Depending on the situation, one of them can push forward to join the attack, creating a four-pronged assault to overwhelm the opposition's defense. Communication between Loftus and Reijnders is crucial here, ensuring smooth transitions as they alternate roles. Both possess the ability to execute long shots effectively, adding another dimension to our attacking play. Adli, with his exceptional vision and pinpoint passing accuracy, will further enhance our midfield dynamics. His knack for surprising passes and adept ball retention will keep the opposition off balance. Alongside Bennacer and Musa, this midfield trio will introduce a fresh tactical approach to our attacking play. Our starting lineup could feature Leao and Chukweeze as wingers, supported by Pulisic, Loftus, and Reijnders in the midfield. Later in the game, we can introduce Adli, Musa, and Bennacer to shake up the midfield, with Okafor coming on for one of the wingers and Luka replacing Olivier. Rotating our midfield combinations from game to game will keep our opponents guessing and give us the edge in every match.
i pray to see a 4-2-3-1 and see puli as a cam and chuk at the rw
Only concern with that is it'll be too attack heavy, RLC can drop back and play as a 3rd MF but with Pulisic as CAM Milan only has 2 MFs.
3:46 ❤ that celebration from leao came from the ❤
For me, regarding pioli, we've seen this before. Pioli does well when he's under pressure. He is not consistent if we want to compete for titles every season. We keep pioli and next season, we will have the same problems, our players will be injured, we'll drop silly points and when the pioli out rumours come back, he'll put up a similar run like this. If we can get a better manager then pioli then the management should seriously consider it, if not we can keep him. That's my opinion
I see this season as transitional one. It's pretty difficult to have perfect results when you have 18 debutantes. 18 debutantes, man... We could've easily ended up like Chelsea, but fortunately... we didn't. Also, Inter's form doesn't help at all. They are well oiled machine, full of talented and experienced players, with an excellent coach, genius CEO and they are probably the best squad in the world right now. We also need to respect Pioli's legacy. He put us on the football map after so many years of tears and sorrow.
this! I don't pioli that and honestly I would like Motta to take over but any other year we would leading be the table if Inter weren't DOMINATING the whole league If not De Zerbi or Motta Pioli is the best we got@@andjelkozlotvor
Man, your videos are always awesome. The editing is 5 stars top-level. Keep it up and forza AC Milan 1899 bro!
🫡
@@footballkush i imagine a situation where we play RLC as a 9, then leao on the left and chukwu on the right wing, with pulisic behind RLC, what are your thoughts on having the players lined up that way can you discuss in your next video?
I agree that Ruben playing higher up is definitely affecting pulisic. I think we should move pulisic to the 10 and play cukawszie wide and maybe play Ruben a bit farther back. Thoughts?
RLC should play center, he has good header, can shoot from both feet’s, can dribble, tall enough to receive long pass, much better center than Giroud
@@fairplay5703I totally agree with u
RLC collects so many balls and is so vital in turnovers, would be a waste to play him deeper. Also overall he has been massively better than Chuk.
@@murmor6890 yeah id just like to find a way for both pulisic and Ruben to both perform well without negatively affecting each other
No one is talking about malik thiaw he is back❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
Biggg Thing! That return can be the solidification of turning fortunes!
This comment didn't age well :)@@footballkush
Pioli’s been here long enough, one Scudetto in the last four years is something to be proud of for sure.
Outside is of that, this team hasn’t been good enough, crashed out of almost everything and last season we were fortunate to make it to the semis, Pioli still couldn’t figure out Inter in those two legs.
He’s enough for top four but that’s it.
Can we just praise Gabbia he’s been class and I would put him and Tomori as starters when tomori gets back
I agree, RLC's positioning affects Pulisic's ability to go inside and exploit spaces. It also seems like RLC prefers diagonal runs to the right corner, not so much down the left, which takes away Puli's ability to make that run. Puli is just OK with his heel's planted on the touchline. But goals are goals, whoever scores them. I'd like to see Chuk start and Puli come in for RLC in the 60th minute against Monza.
Florenzi's early crosses were effective. We've seen it multiple times already which were something Calabria obviously lacking
Florenzi is very intelligent and experienced player. He wasn't Roma's captain without reason. His biggest weaknesses are physical inferiority and frequent injuries.
i do think it depnds if we manage to come 2nd in serie a go deep in europa league or winning it then he deserve to be a manager for this club
I say it simple - If we manage to finish 2nd and go deep in the Europa League, than Pioli should stay because he has a lot of new players and he's doing great so far
Dude i was waiting for your video glad you did it. Forza Milan
Last weekend I could only do a Live because of the Super Bowl in the evening!
Phenomenal analysis Kush!
🫡
Agreed on the Giroud situation with Pulisic. I thought the same the second he tried taking it himself.
*I was hoping for this video, I had a feeling Leao would score and he did*
Our best signing since Kaka.
Beautiful Game! I noticed that RLC drifts to the Right Wing hence forcing Pulisic to almost play as a wingback.
I would suggest we play a direct 4-5-1.
Pulisic as a 10 will guarantee us more goals than RLC.
Aslo Florenzi brought more life to our Right Wing.
Love the videos bro, been watching for a couple years now, keep up the great work👍🏾

Ive been saying this but I agree on RLC and pulisic positions. I really wanna see chuck suceed and pulisic is better as a 10. However, the movement was MUCH better in the 442 on Thursday, even if it's kinda ugly and not Milan DNA. Puli and loftus traded places often and puli was able to move inside and create. Created Chances are always higher when puli can create with giroud and leao. Theo is the most important player because he makes leao dangerous, I think leao is still carrying an injury and doesn't have the top gear rn but it's forced him to evolve his game. Theo is absolutely crucial as the engine on the left to create space for leao. Pioli is still out, a club like milan cannot be knocked out of two competitions inside a month every year (with the exception of the scudetto season). Not acceptable. EX: Madrid fans will whistle if the style of play is not the madrid way, even if they're winning la liga and in the ucl semis, they know the standard. They used to boo mourinhos madrid sometimes even in victory. If we want to get back to that level, we need to have the correct standards. let's not forget, we are Milan. Only madrid can boast as a more successful/legendary club.
I have always defended Pioli. Yes he has made a lot of questionable mistakes but what manager hasn't. It's quite astonishing that despite all the insane amount of injuries we have had, we are only 8 points behind Inter despite Inter having a phenomenal season. If we qualify for the CL and reach the semis of the Europa league then I say he has earned a new contract.
True
Recent results have been good, but too often the performances haven't been. We needed a lucky bounce goal within the last 10 mins to win against Frosinone, 90+3 minute goal against Udinese in a game where we didn't create much, lost a lead at the dying minutes against Bologna etc.
This team can't control a game or really protect a lead. Yes, we managed to win against Napoli in horrible form, but we got lucky the ball hit the post twice instead of going in.
Also, Radio Rossonera did excellent reporting earlier this season to look into the injuries we've suffered this season as well as the previous ones. We've basically had twice as many injuries under Pioli as we did have under any manager before him, especially muscle injuries. Have you considered that those injuries might be caused by the way the team trains and/or plays?
I would say we need to finish 2nd and a semi-final finish and we should think of keeping Pioli
He needs to win a trophy - how can you say this, we are fickle football fans when things go well and when things don’t.
But we need to be winning trophies, he’d of probably kept his job regardless if we won the Coppa but we fucked it.
Pioli is and always will be a good coach and not a great one. Unless he wins the Europa or Scudetto it’s goodbye
@@04lraffainiwe have literally won a Scudetto with Pioli in charge and reached the CL semis last season. His points per match is 1.92 which is the highest of any Milan manager in our history. You talk like he has achieved nothing with Milan.
About Pioli, I already saw everything I needed. For me he must leave the le club no matter what happens in the last game.
We already saw this situation. Pioli knows how the end very well his seasons. He already saved his place twice like that.
But we also know that if we keep him another season, it's going to be the same: a good start, a long phase of no sense football and a very good ending of the season.
It's always the same schema. And that schema doesn't help you win title.
You need a coach that can keep the level high all the time.
But it's true that if he win the scudetto or the europa league, it won't be easy the not explain to players that you're not keeping him.
So for me that's the point. Not the coming "Big games".
Honestly I was a bit confused, with the amount of talent at his disposal such results aren't groundbreaking, and it seems there is one thing that I feel isn't mentioned enough, have we forgotten how Milan plays? our attacks and build-up play and pressing are all either confused, static or ineffective.
3:13 That sound of the golden box... amazing!🏆
🌟
This a 5 star production. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I think there is a happy medium for this Milan side maybe Reinders and RLC can be dual 6s and Puli can play as a 10 with Chukuweze out right
I have always thought pulisic is better on the center or the left wing, he is limited in the right wing that's clear
That's a hard question, I was Hella blaming the coach, but now I think we were in injury Island, and we finally got off that land.
It is starting to look that way..
Regarding Pioli - it depends who the management sees as his successor. At this point in time the only realistic "upgrade" we can get is Conte. And honestly I'm not so keen on him given his general demeanor and history with previous managements. I prefer Pioli to stay one more season. If they can get Thiago Motta then yes by all means. I feel like Motta will move to a big Serie-A team soon and we can miss our chance with him.
I’m glad you finally gave Pioli a break. He might not be our guy two to five years from now but he had two massive challenges this season:
1. A horrifying string of injuries going back to October.
2. Being put into a champions league group of death with new players needing time to gel together.
Without their defense back to full strength they cannot withstand teams like inter, Leverkusen, or Liverpool. Too big an ask right now with this squad.
Can't disagree with anything there!
For me not even winning the uel can save pioli's sit, maybe if he wins serie a but we know that ain't happening. We need someone that can give the team a jump in quality and consistency and pioli is not going to give us that anymore, his time passed and it's time to thank him and say goodbye
Let's go!!!
🔴⚫️
I think we can win the the UEL yes i understand leverkusen and liverpool is there, if our fortune goes well(hopefully) we can win it and complete the trophy cabinet
Happy for the win and this is not a critic for yesterday but just an overall point on pioli, sorry if is long, the thing with him is that it look exactly he starting another cicle, with half team that he already know but still another cicle exactly as the year when he did arrived where then we did spent that 100 mln by elliot, it feel a big sense of dejavu and this should have been the year of the quality jump so see us after 110 mln spent be happy to be CL zone make it sad for everyone, also another problem is pioli = he want to keep his athletic staff, the first thing to do at the end of the season is to fire all pioli's athletic staff they can't stay in Milan anymore but pioli don't know how to work without them so if he stay 100% he want to keep all of them and at that point what do we do? Me as a lot of other peoples don't want another season with a total of 34 injuries while is only half february...also every year we talk about always the same problems in defense that never get solved by pioli and this year outsdie this last 2 games the stats say we conceeded too much goals and almost 2 goals per game meaning that for win we need to score 3 goals most of the times which is a lot to score 3 goals per game, Bologna got better defence then us, and the counter part of this 10 good games are that 2 months in the first part of the season where in 7/8 games we won only 1 or 2 time so now we can't just say pioli is great, every year he do half season good and half bad this is a fact and if he continue to do it even after winning a scudetto and arriving in CL semi then probably that's his limit and he starting another cicle that will take 1 or 2 years just to bring us back where we already was at the end of last year, this is why conte was the option he in italy go straight for win
If we beat Inter next time we play them, Pioli can stay..
..but Im skeptical that we will😏
I like your Chanel bro ❤ Forza Milan Ac ❤
🫡
Pioli shouldn't even be that much under question to begin with, apart from the Coppa he has delivered according to or above paper strength and squad cost with 1/3 to 1/2 of starters changed. Imo his era will only be fully appreciated once he has left.
I think the concern is less around how Milan is and more around where they will be in the future. Can he make them winners or just keep them relevant.
Totally agree with the puli/ruben takeaway. However, chuck really hasn’t shown anything at all (putting it really nicely) in his minutes. I’d still prefer an underperforming puli than any chuck at this point.
I think more to give him rest than anything.
Pioli should be sued for giving us such a roller coaster of emotions when it comes to this season. Including today, we scored 3 goals but there is a lot of dead time during the game where nothing happens. Haha
I like how you are beginning to enjoy Pioli's job 😂
I think that Reijnders was good today and that Théo and Maignan deserved a green box...
I've always defended Pioli until at least in december when even I couldn't do it anymore. Look, I wanna be just, live outside of the moment. To make our opinion on Pioli, we need to look at the season as a whole, the causes for us to do well and do badly. We had a record level of injuries, a complete change of the midfield, but we had very familiar issues that could have been prevented. I don't think there are any really good replacement options out there. It's still too soon to tell.
What we need to do is not make any stupid moves by selling key players in the Mercato or changing formation and the structure. Just like Inter did this season, we keep the foundations and build over that. If that means a new coach, so be it. If we can't do with Pioli, so be it.
Yes, it’s just one of those things that has to be evaluated at the end of the season. Pioli’s cycle could be over but a deep Europa league run and tightening up on Inter in 1st could extend his life at the club!
The Ibrahimovic effect
Whether the fans like it or not, Pioli is doing really well. Better than the Scudetto winning season. It's not good enough to win the league but thats football. Can't win it every year. I'm not his biggest fan but the numbers don't lie. Need to build on this foundation with a top striker and top CB. If he doesn't challenge for the title after that, then we can think about a new coach.
It's too very very comparable to 2022! Let's hope Leao goes on a tear like 2022!
Gabbia could be our Sergio Ramos
❤🖤
I love r gaffer
Chukuweze needs to show a higher level of play before he replaced CP on the right flank. So far he has not shown much to say he deserves that spot.
Even as interested as I would be to see CP in that roll that RLC is currently filling.
Also, re: Pioli, the build up is frustrating to watch at times. The ball just swings from one touch line to the other via the center backs. Back and forth, back and forth. Why is it so difficult to involve the midfielders? I don't see many passes from a CB to a CM with enough time for the CM to turn and play forward. Is that on the midfielders not getting open, the center backs not being daring enough, or Pioli's system? That first half was hard to watch at times.
Milan are winning, don’t tinker too much with the formula. CP is more effective at LW or CAM. Leao is Milan’s best player and not vacating LW, so CP is best moving centrally opportunistically in alignment with RLC
To answer your question Pioli must have changed in any case.
For me the Coach should stay if things stay so. They pulled through a horrible injury crisis and made the best out of a thin squad.
True, the teams dip in form was when the injuries were at their peak.
I'm hoping for consistency from Milan after having our CBs back. Florenzi should stay, most reliable RB currently. Forza Milan 🔥
I feel like Florenzi does well in bursts though, if he gets too many starts at times he becomes a bit ineffective.
@@footballkush Else playing Kalulu once he's ready as RB. Calabria hasn't been effective
I don’t think Pioli is inconsistent. I think the board has constantly fucked with him, letting key players leave without replacing them. Except this year. We lost 1 key player but then got 6 new players to integrate. He had a rough time integrating and with injuries but that’s over and we’re seeing how well Pioli does when he has a decent squad at his disposal for a period of time. If we don’t shake up the team next season we could see Milan become top dog under Pioli.
Yeah, I think the most reasonable evaluation will come at the end of the season.
Ive also noticed that we dont play through the middle!
Our Defense always predictable play theough either sides! Musah, Reijers and RLC had little ball possession.
Now that pioli's tutor(Zlatan) is back , he's pulling off results.
A threatened pioli is dangerous , similar thing happened when the rangnick rumours popped up.
Can we make it a rule that Reijnders is not allowed to shoot. I don't care if he's on the goal line and the closest defender is at midfield. He cannot hit the broadside of a barn and it's really annoying.
😅
Pioli i think should stay bro. Tell me a team with 38 injuries and still is at top lv. Remember MC lost 2 main players and was in trouble. But 38 serious injuries and still at the top of serie A and managed to be in europa league ita a lot. Now all members are almost back. Pioli should stay even though i was one of them who keep saying Pioly out.
At least there are a few of us that can see Piolis value! He is doing a fantastic job considering some of the very average players we have! Remember where we were before he arrived?
With a fit squad, if this is how we play.. I can't really question Pioli then. But need to see the big matches and how we do in them.
I’m really kind of confused. RLC has never done that great as a defensive midfielder. So why play him there? He’s always been better going forward. And he’s doing great.
Regarding Pioli. Im not totally against him leaving if he is replaced by someone like Conte. Someone with titles behind his name and vast experience! Dropping Pioli for some random will be terrible for Milan, it will be the same bus with a different driver! Its our players that need to change, NOT our coach!
Ah Conte though, I don't know man, that style of play is painful to watch.
It frustrates me endlessly when guys say a team, or player is in fantastic form but they are from a small league. Fine Rennais is doing well in Ligue1, great for them but send them to play in Spain or England or Italy and see what they do. Its the same for a player.. he's doing great in MLS.. but send him to play at Real Madrid, its unlikely he will do as well or score as much.
As a Pulisic fan, I have to say his game has changed from the first part of the year. I agree he is not finding space inside, but I also see him dropping back a lot more in the past month or so. Leah rarely defends. Pulisic is much better with his left foot than Leao. The cross that Kush praised earlier from Rafa was some nice dribbling but a poor cross that missed both Oli and RLC. It came off the right foot.
True, Leao is the only player on the team who's given the licence to not defend. Pulisic does drop deeper, to help out in the back.
i think pioli can stay. forzzza milan❤❤
Dude it’s PUL-IS-SICK. He’s American. That’s how we say it. That’s how he says you say it and wants it said. It’s not that hard
I think your spot on. I think samuel should get a start over pulisic against monza for sure. That being said. I know, you hear rumors of all the other coaches. Replacing Pioli . I just have werid feeling he was always going to coach out his contract.
Would it ever be a good idea to experiment with pulisic as a false nine
Nah, it's not Milan's style of play and with Jovic and Giroud, there's no need to experiment that way to accommodate Pulisic.
Pulí should definitely get a rest. Especially since he has the injury monkey on his bank
I still beleive in pioli
For me, is silverware or bye Pioli
please make pulisic a cam
Why change the lineup if they are winning?
Mostly to give some players rest and get a bit more from the right flank.
has pulisic scored a goal with the beard??
Shave it off!
According to me, Pioli still needs to go but i dont agree with his replacement Antonio Conte. Antonio toxic and damages the dressing room. Just like u said kush he is good enough to take the team out of the CL group stages or get them into top 4 but is not a championship coach. By the way, Inter signed Taremi, another bad job by Cardinale and his favorite guys. I want Milan to concentrate fully on winning the Europa League.
How many trophies has Conte won around the world??? Guys are talking about Motta?? What has Motta won??
@@marcuspierantozzi motta is pretty good based on what he has done with the Bologna squad.
I think my concern is Conte is his style of play. It feels pretty negative.
Chukwuuuu cmon
still pioli out
Pulisic has 12 goal contributions as a right winger! And man on the month only a few weeks ago! Saying you replace him with chuke is pure disrespectful! They are winning all their games and it’s working why change shit? I like your videos but that’s a dumb take
To give him rest, that's the whole point of depth.
I have always thought pulisic is better on the center or the left wing, he is limited in the right wing that's clear
