Your editing is getting much better. Showing how the formation changes helps a lot with illustrating your points. Keep up the good work.
Agreed! Makes it fun to watch.
Kush deserves a golden box! 🟨
Been following AC Milan after they picked up Pulisic. First time I've followed Serie A football, and it's been so enjoyable!
Welcome to the party
all the teams are quality even the bottom teams you could say play well
It’s a nice break from the Prem but I’m not sure it’s generally more interesting
We welcome all new comers to the best league in the world
@chiefdb5496 except Juventus they are for Sunday afternoon naps i forgot to mention
One thing i really love is, it seems that there is absolutely no animosity between Chuk and Puli. Obviously the two are professionals, but sometimes it's good to get off twitter/reddit and realize no one on either of those platforms have any real insight into the team dynamics behind the scenes.
That Pulisic left footed strike was insane. Beautiful! His ability to shoot and pass so well with both feet makes him even more dangerous when playing at the 10. And he still has that SPEED! Such a great signing
For the record, Pioli has always been giving Chukwueze starts. His 1st start was our 5th game of the season and his 2nd start with our 7th game of the season. In Serie A alone, in 31 matches of which Chukwueze was available for maybe 21-23 (due to injury + AFCON), he started 9. That’s like 40%, taking into account that his competitor has been brilliant from day 1
Pioli has been giving the dude chance after chance and deserves a lot of the credit for the fruit we saw in the last two matches
Puli and chuku combing for first goal was superb🥳😍Two very good wins , now onto the next one.
being able to play Chuku on the right and Puli in the middle adds flexibility to the team.. Puli adds creativity and long range shot where Ruben adds physicality ..
Pulisic with 21 goal contributions. Serie A: 10g,6a, Copa Italia: 1a, Champions League: 1g, Europa League: 2g, 1a
This is the Chucky we all thought we would get when we signed him. Lecce had no answer for him. Hopefully we see more performances like this. Forza Milan!
Kush analyzes football like a military personnel.
You play well, he gives you your deserved flowers. 💐
You play bonkers, he calls you out straight up 😂
Welldone bro
Puli Puli Puli, sic sic sic
I think Pulisic must have worked hard to improve his left footed strike after he learned that he was going to play primarily on the right. His left footed shots were never that good before this season.
For sure, but he improved his left foot at lightning speed, I remember him from the beginning of the season and boy, his improvements are phenomenal. He looks like someone who has always played on the right throughout his career and seems like a natural left-footed player. Incredible
He’s definitely improved with his left foot but let’s not forget the guy has always had the ability to shoot with both feet. He is a two footed player after all.
He scored some bangers for Chelsea with his left in 2019-2020 season.
His left foot has always been good its really nice seeing shoot from outside the box this season
At various points at Dortmund, Chelsea, and the USMNT, Pulisic has played as a 10, and for some reason Pioli waited until April to try him out there. Thank god it worked immediately
I think the main reason was that Chuk and Romero looked very poor at RW at first while Pulisic was doing great there. Now Chuk is doing well, but still if we start this formation we have no RW left on the bench, so it's also tricky. I think we'll use this formation interchangeably with others then see what they do during transfer market.
This channel deserves more subscribers, many more subscribers. Let's go Milan fans!!
Amazing episode, Kush!
Love your work! Forza Milan from Malta ♥️🖤
Once pulisic gets used to playing the 10 this team will be lights out. There were times when I was yelling at the tv saying "drop into the spaces" "why is he playing so high, like a false 9?" Pulisic needs to drop into space to make sure he is helping create space around him and getting as many touches as possible.
At times, you could tell he didn't know where he should have been. Once he gets used to the position, I have no doubt he will be pivotal in creating a lot of chances and make milans attack as dangerous inters.
You’re entirely correct about the defensive imbalance when we play with Pulisic as the 10. If the center backs are firing on all cylinders then it’s less of a concern. But when we won the title we had Tomori and Kalulu having the times of their lives along with Kessie in the middle. I miss Kessie so much. We haven’t replaced him yet. If we get one player like Kessie then we will be an absolute powerhouse.
Shout out to Kush for this video 😊. 10k subscriber before the Derby and we'll be greeted with another Trivia video.🎉
Forza Milan ❤ ur the best Kush !
Great analysis man. I love the charts you used for that section. I personally love the 4231, it's the perfect formation to start with imo because of how it can be played differently. The part on Ruben in the 10 position is SPOT ON.
I agree, Pioli's going to stay next season. But we still need to remember what went wrong and take the lessons learned.
This game was my favorite all season. FINALLY got a clean sheet. Forza Milan 🔴⚫
Do you think Pioli stays even after the Roma loss yesterday Matt?
@@footballkush I think the derby and the two legs will tell if he stays or not. If we get knocked out by Roma and inter win the league with us, it's probably the end for Pioli
@@footballkush Now, it's over.
The only problem with chuku is his right foot. This guy can easily beat his opponent with speed but he always try to cut inside because he can do nothing with his right foot.
Maybe Pulisic can help him learn!
Again, I agree wholeheartedly with you Kush. Masterful analysis on all fronts. And to answer your last question, YES!!!! Pioli is our coach next season, no question. Forza Milan! Beat Roma, Beat Juventus, Beat Inter! And in the words of the illustrious Kush.... Let's GO!!!!!
I love these videos! I was waiting for it
Excellent commentary. The maturity and teamwork just keep improving & it is much better from the start of the season, even with all the injuries. Agree, credit to coach as well as the players for the strides they have made as a team. Keep improving & never rest on your laurels.
Nailed it again brother. Well done. I hear your skepticism about playing the 4231 with pulisic week in week out. But really what we lacked against inter in that drubbing, and almost all the UCL games was a true CAM. And pulisic is not only our best right wing but actually his best position is as a ten and then probably on the left. It’s bc he is faster with the ball at his feet than RLC and makes split second descions better, often choosing the progressive pass as opposed to slowing the play bc he has NO WEAK foot as you can tell from his left footed striking ability. And something that is never talked about is how amazing he is at receiving the ball on the half turn and directly attacking the defenders. But he does it in a truly Eden hazard esc way. Ruben although extremely athletic and physical and smart doesn’t possess pulisics guile, spatial awareness and dribbling in tight spaces. However. RLC played as an 8, 6 and even RWB many times for Chelsea. So pair him with tijani in the back and you have a midfield that can rival many of the better ones in serie A
Get Gio Reyna in that 10 role keep pulí on the right and your golden the way gio can find those passes and can apparently put in a good defensive game or Mckennie who apparently might leave
Always wait for these after a match! Love the new graphics! Let's get him more subs guys!
🫡
Tommaso Pogeba will come back and reclaim his spot of Milan’s only world class player
God-Level Tommy Pobeger!
A new way of using the flexibility and core strength from our new players 🎉 Chuku is the explosion 💥, super fast and unpredictable on the right wing, Puli levels up his scoring skills but if he develops his passing skills as Brahim Diaz did, the team will be much stronger. This team has potential to achieve great success ❤🖤 Big admiration and thanks to coach Pioli for his innovative and brave change. He deserved more successes with Milan 🎊 for several years
Phenomrlan Pulisic, not only from a technical point of view, but thanks to his brain, this guy learns to do everything at the speed of light. Incredible!
P.S. For me, Pioli shouldn't stay, the season hasn't started now, Milan have never been competitive for the Scudetto, they exited the Champions League in the group stage, they exited the Italian Cup in the first match (we'll see what happens in the Europa League but the one with Roma is the first real match we play, Rennes and S. Sofia are teams of a lower level). I also have many other criticisms to make to him, especially from the point of view of the game and the incorrect use of a very strong player like Reijnders (if he had gone to Inter instead of Milan we would now already be talking about an 80 million player) . His time at Milan is over!
thats a very dumb option about the coach. they had a bad start to the season due but the fact that they turned it around and in the 2nd slot the coach should be able to finish out his contract. still in 2nd place and say if the the win the europa league and finish in 2nd in Series A there's no reason the fire him. I think he focus on getting better defender and stronger midfield have a better outcome next season.
yeah his time at Milan is over because you are tired of this old toy and want a new one
Grow up
@@Freestyle80 he complains about losing the champions league in the group stage but they were in a stacked group with PSG and Dortmund . I would say he doesn't watch the games just looks at the results and doesn't really know anything about the teams they are playing.
@@nathanielzito2716 i dont know how people can say with a straight face that Motta or De Zerbi will somehow magically become world class managers if they join Milan and they think they’ll need no time to do so
We already have a growing manager in Pioli if we want to replace him you get an serial winner ( not Conte!!!) who can stay long term
@@nathanielzito2716 But if we want to do well in Europe, we need to win against the PSG, Dortmund, Barcelona, Atletico and the likes. If you check Pioli's record against these teams it's not great. We lost head-to-head against PSG and Dortmund this season, 2 times against mid Chelsea few seasons ago, comprehensively lost against Inter so many times etc. Winning against midtable teams is not enough to win trophies.
Adli had a great game vs lecce yes . Stats for Yacine. Passes ; 110/120 (92 %) - 17 into the final third !!. 2 assists . World class today . If only he could work on aggression in 1on1 defensive duals
Just an FYI - He informed the press when he hit the scene that he wants it pronounced "Poo -Li - Sick" no "sitch"
Pioli in post match talked about how Samu seems to understand PIolis system better than before
Lots of positive perfomances! Love the new graphics.Really helps illustrate your analysis. Top notch stuff!!
Agree with your analysis. Formation only against teams we feel we should beat
We leaving the champions league n entering the Europa league being respect is debatable in all aspects
Love the graphics 🖤❤🖤❤🖤❤
Regarding Pioli, the team looks more fluid when they play. Now, the defense when they lose the ball is not as balanced as I would like. This is the argument for a CDM.
The attacking places in the squad are good enough to win trophies & compete in Europe. It’s just the back half of the pitch where Milan needs to invest the most & a striker of course. Milan fixes those problems and I think a trophy is in the cards for next season!
I agree with you that Pioli will most likely be confirmed for next season after these string of results. Personally, I think we would be going in a better direction with a Motta or De Zerbi due to their progressive style of play. I do not see us catching this inter team with Pioli at the helm unless Inter have to sell some of their big names due to financial instability. Regardless, this is the best we have been playing all season long and it’s been a lot more enjoyable 2024 than 2023.
I don’t think Pioli has decided to use 4-2-3-1 with Pulisic as AM going forward, it was mostly due to RLC being absent, we actually do play with 4-2-3-1 with RLC taking that role. From next match we will be going back to that formation most likely. But yes when both Chuk and Pulisic are in form, I hope we see this formation.
Even if everything had gone perfectly I don't think that we would have cought Inter this season, they just have an outlier season.
We have graphics now?!!! Instant like
i think puli in that cam position is more of a tool for milan than the day to day starting lineup I do get concered that he could get bullied by physical cdms and centre-backs something loftus-cheek is better at handling. still i definitely wanna see it more. We have a lot of talent in attack so pioli should try to be more creative in how he uses them
Pls don’t disrespect Pirlo like that ever again 💀
I'm not big Pulisic fan but I've wanted to see in the no 10 position from the day he arrived
Pioli has done well, but we should definitely move on from him. Can anyone really honestly believe Pioliball will challenge Inzaghi's Inter for Scudetto next season? Or that we'd get to top 8 in UCL?
If he stays, we'll most likely get another injury crisis during the fall just like pretty much every year under him. We'll have a few months when we grind out results playing absolutely horrible football, but in the end get to UCL without much drama, but we won't challenge for any trophies either.
If it'd be up to me, we'd need to at least get to Europa League final (probably beating Leverkusen on the way) and to have convincing performances in the remaining big games this season (Roma x2, Juve, Inter).
I agree Pioli deserves to stay, we are now able to see snippets of what he can do with some quality signings. He won the Scudetto before and if he gets the signings he needs to fill in the gaps next season. I think Inter are going to have a difficult time with Milan come next season.
I was wrong about Chukweze he is such a quality winger, he really just needed more playing time. Its paying dividends but for the future I find it hard to see how the combo of Chukweze and Pulisic lives on unless some alterations to the team are made that leave out Ruben the majority of the time.
I think we do need a solid CDM or at least a box to box CM that has solid defensive capabilities. I think we also need to reinforce our Midfield with a creative CM/CAM I think Rejinders has the quality to become one of the best in the world within the next 2 years. Christian from Athletico Parenese in the Brasilian Serie A is 22, a box to box CM, costs 10 mil and will be one of the greatest Midfielders to grace the game. I hope we snag him before another club like Inter, Real, the prem or Barcelona swoop in for him. He is magic and his ceiling is as high as he can take it. Regardless A CDM is needed Fofana is good but I think we need someone with more footballing IQ than Fofana. Maybe Thuram or another candidate.
Lastly a defender. We need a very solid backup for Tomori or Gabbia. Lacroix would be a good addition but Bonguorno/ Calafiori would be great as well. And hopefully we sign Zirkzees but Juventus are absolutely fuming that he wants to come to Milan and are trying as many back door tricks as possible to land him. Trying to have Bayern trigger a buy back clause to do business. We have a player that Bayern wants and I doubt that Juventus will end up getting what they want even with their piss poor management and overhyped team. People have become accustomed with the Juventus of the last 7-8 years and have seemed to forget who Milan truly is.
Wait what? Adli is Pirlo after one good start? against 10 man Lecce? That's a similar quality of a statement as saying Leao is selfish.
Kush, this was the dream line-up in our attack...where does that leave RLC if we keep this?
Ruben is still going to be in the lineup, he was just suspended for the Lecce match. Chukuweze is just going to be rotating with Pulisic on the right hand side.
@@anthonylafleur6549 we know that, but in tje long run we cant have chuku if RLC plays...that is an issue if Pioli stays
I mean I think the only reason why pioli opted with that front 3 was because RLC was injured so it was forced
Wonder who AC Milan should look at for next season at that Defensive Midfielder role...
Chukwueze showed amazing form yesterday. The team in general played very well and that Adli Assist was Masterclass👏👏
FORZA MILAN!!!!!!!!
Sei un grande! Fantastico video. Bravissimo 💪
early and it was a amazing performance
I bet my buddies 100 bucks that pulisic wasn't going to get the green box first 😂😂 I won 100 bucks. I'm not surprised.
Love to see you recognizing adli´s progress, while i completely agree that his defensive capabilities are not the best ones he always showed a different creaticity when it comes to offensive passes, for me the difference was the way pioli proposed the match being more offensive and both chukweze and pulisic made the faster so when adli gave a pass the receivers were not being blocked by the defence. As for pioli its clear he picked up the pace and its finally making some good decisions but for me the only thing that could convince me he can stay another season is winning the uel, milan needs to fight for titles and scudetto season aside pioli´s decision where the ones that left us without a title fight on serie a and especially on champions league
ayoo chill out kush
Outstanding analysis.
Regardless, I'm sure Milan fans are salivating at the flexibility the attacking depth provides.
This is the attacking depth that we have been asking for a few years now.
Good comments today. I’m glad for Chuku but I think teams will adjust to him since he always cuts back inside to his left foot, he doesn’t have a right foot at all
Ways to get around it though, having players switch positions. CP can go either direction & score with either foot and that is a big advantage.
Pioli in!!
I'm not satisfied with how they defended. Lecce could have also scored 3. Were it a stronger, more clinical team, the result would have been different.
I'll wait until after the Europa League quarter final and after the Inter game to say whether or not Pioli should stay.
Owners make awful decisions all the time, but firing a coach as they finish second in the league (as things stand) would be an interesting one for sure. I guess they could take issue with the lack of trophies this season, but again, the Europa league is still a possibility, and 2nd place in the league is not a poor result their by any measure either.
FFS one straight through ball and Adli is like Pirlo..?? F.O!
I read somewhere that pioli said he was leaving the club after this year.
Pioli deserves it, you got it right!
1-He did not have the best year on year development in terms of players, very important ones in chala kessie tonali and co.
2. He had to integrate a brand new midfield.
3. He is playing without a real striker, giroud and jovic are not remotely what milan cfs should be.
4. The character and never die attitude, he always manages to get back on track, never loosing the locker room.
I don’t know about Pioli.
As you said multiple times, it feels like he has already peeked.
I understand what you are saying about the injuries and all, but isn’t it part of his responsibility as well?
I know it would be questionable to fire him now after what will be a good season, regardless of where we land in EL, but sooner or later, we will need to step up on the coaching side as well.
To be a top team, we need a top-tier manager, and if we don’t win the EL, it will be an excellent chance to change leadership after two years without trophies.
Thiago Motta could be a good coach for Milan
I think after the Roma performance the doubts in him are back again! We might just need a new manager to take the next step.
More vids longer vids !
Hope you're enjoying the new ones, need better results though!
Guys, this is exactly what I've been hoping to see: Pulisic at CAM and Chukuweze on the right wing in the lineup. With this formation, we really need a skilled finisher with pace and dribbling abilities. If AC can persist in trying to bring in Jonathan David and Zirkzee, I genuinely believe we'll have no trouble having one of our strikers become the top goal scorer in Serie A and perhaps even win the Golden Boot. Without a proficient finisher, we will find it challenging to instill fear in our opponents. Forza Milan
I liked the lineup. I wouldn't be surprised if Pioli keeps it for Thursday with RLC In place of Adli. I'm not sure what the most efficient way to get all the best players on the field though.
Ruben is going to play in the center attacking midfielder role vs Roma with Pulisic starting at right wing.Chukuweze is going to rotate with Pulisic on the right side.
@@anthonylafleur6549 Is that a guess or disclosed information
With this new placement of Pulisic been at the attack... makes me wonder if there could be a posibility to put both Pulisic and RLC together, like... Puslic as a Striker and RCL as an Attacking Midfielder or viceversa, i feel like leaving RCL out of the equation reduces the attacking potential that this formation could have.
I'd prefer RLC as the striker/ false 9 because of his height and physicality.
For us to keep that formation it means excluding RLT which we can't really do.
after doing some thinking I don't agree that that 4-2-3-1 wouldn't work agains bigger teams like inter.. I think teams like that you have to start strong on the attack and try to get goals, and if at half if you down switch tacts and put in guys that could help defend and get the center goals. If he sticks with the 11 I think it get the guys that have improved cofadances and by the time the big game is here it won't be a problem. I think the coach is going to stay. Think the real question is who going to be the center forward next season. will the play a false 9 and put CP in the middle? will they go with two strikers with Leo and CP, or will the find someone new. as of know the don't have a clear Groude replacement.
For the first time in the season i can say i am excited for this team. I believe this milan team has a chance to win the Europa league given the form the team is in. Pulisic no doubt is the best signing of the season, this guy has completely changed the attacking problems of milan made them excellent. Samuel chukweze has finally arrived and is now ready to torch the opposition defence, this is a sigh relief for theo and leao who had the burden of doing most of the attack. I can say with this attack i am confident we can win Europa league although Roma themselves are on a rise, so pioli and co has to be careful. Agree with ur assessment of yacine, he still growing in the role of a regista but he is showing signs of improvement. My only issue is with the defence, i don't like Malik thiaw he is still a liability with poor decision making and poor track back, he makes me mad. He has to be sold and a legit defender has to be brought in that doesn't cause problem for tomori and gabbia. I have been saying from the beginning of the season that we need a defensive midfielder but mr cardinale thinks defence is not important. I hope they finally leant their lessons and bring in a CDM. I still don't like cardinale, he is a guy who had no idea who is AC Milan and thinks he knows more about football than a Milan legend, i still want him out of the club.
Where are your Pioli out videos now?
Given this season has been all Moratta League, I'm nervous Fik Tomori will get a yellow against Sassuolo, effectively suspending him for both Derbies this season. I can see Inter influencing the refs to do this. Mark my word.
Pioli should give Terracciano a chance on the right back
For Pioli, he has done his job but it's time to move on. It's an end of circle. He deserves a good farewell.
i went into the gaming hoping rafa would score nut i was disappointed in how he scored, no fault to him but that was a clear pen imo
To your last question. Pioli s tactics is not too good enough for me the players hardly hold possession and change positions in the opponents half which naturally gives opening for a run behind a defense. We should try another coach
AC Milan mightbe more competitive with Inter next season
Pioli has the right to stay look her if we talk about since 2019 since he joined he has been runner up won the league and camed to a semifinal in the ucl for the frist time in 15 years and won the league for the first time in 11 years he deserve to stay but lates matches against inter has been a bit dodgy
Liked the clean sheet more than anything. We need to see Chuck, Rafa and CP as an attacking line regularly. Can RLC play as a DCM? Think his primary position at Chelsea was holding mid. We are one CB, OB and #9 away from competing with anyone. At this point, who are our best 11? Forza Milan!!!
Against high press teams I think Pulisic should start at the 10... against low block teams RLC can start at the 10
AC Milan got a bargain transferring price for Christian Pulisic, and you know it!
All us Pulisic fans knew it.
firing Pioli is not about results, it is about going to the next step, Pioli has been giving the same level of performance for 3 out of 4 seasons he has been here. also his team still lacks a shape and a tactic and we are still depending on great individual performances against bottom table teams to win.
our performance against Inter, Juve and Roma are what's going to show what caliber of a coach he is
the next step is Motta or De Zerbi WHO WON NOTHING?
what type of dumb logic is this
Our midfielders are very poor defensive
I think you’re correct to assume Pioli will be back next season. I don’t think it’s a good thing. If we want to break through and have big ambitions we need a boss with a bigger resume.
This season isn’t a success. Inter is going to get their second star and we’re way off their pace. And we were eliminated in the group stage of the champions league. That’s disappointing.
Do you guys think chukweze starts on Thursday?
He shouldn't. No room for him. That's a good issue to have honestly.
@@tacticalmanagerbabymommaak5825
What lineup do u think?
Pioli out we need trophies
15:04 what about trophies?
your Mottas and De Zerbi has f all trophies as well
@@Freestyle80bruhh 5 seasons at Milan and 1 trophy. I agree that he turned a mid table team into a top team, but from a top team to Europe's best you need trophies for that.
@@fiyan6368 yes and how is Motta and De Zerbi going to solve that next season? Please explain me how you think they are 100% guaranteed to do better when they done nothing with their careers?
If Milan was 6th and needed to level up that’d make sense Milan are NOT
@@Freestyle80 and how is pioli gonna get you trophies? The reason I want a new coach because Milan is a top club now but not one of the best. And why Motta or de zerbi because they can work with a low budget.
@@fiyan6368 see you just want Pioli gone, you dont care about results nor what the next manager can do
as long as Pioli not here you are happy
Nice job
says Milan is a top club but wants to give the manager role to any random media hyped manager because he is tired of his current one and wants a new toy
If we ay like we have the last couple games and Inter falls off we might make a deep run for the scudetto next season
Pioli can be saved only if it wins the EL. Otherwise he has to go. He failed in the champions league. He's 16 points behind inter.
Keep him consistent top 4 performances and we are a couple players away from lifting the cup
We shouldn’t wait to remove pioli when he’s doing bad he should leave on a high note the fact is he’s not tactically the best we should get a manger like de zerbi
RLC should be our center, kp11 can be number 10
i would make RLC into a #9....
If Stefano Pioli doesn't get sacked by the end of this season, He will most certainly get sacked sometime next season. Yes, we may have been on a consistent run of form after our injury problems. This is due to the fact of the new players we got this season. But next season, once all the Serie A teams know this Milan side very well, they will try to find ways to park the bus, counter/disrupt or even man mark some of our players not allowing us to play our football. And if that happens, we will be going back to the banter era as I believe that Stefano Pioli is not the right man for the job as he cannot take our team to further and greater heights. #ForzaMilan
