Good decision last thing we needed was a controversial var pk

We labour and labour and can't even get in their penalty area and they cut us through with 2 passes

This is really bad stuff. I wasn't expecting anything great really, but this is beyond

What a shitshow that was

So our first 3 fixtures were the easy ones..

If we change the system and dont even play the suited players then this is bound to happen.

No one wants to comment on Piatek and his disgraceful dive following by even more disgraceful acting? And all this in the VAR age?

I can't fathom Rodriguez and Calhanoglu anymore. Yes, everyone was terrible, but if there are two players who embody the sh*t we've become, it's these two. Lazy, sluggish, clueless and completely demotivated.

Oh yeah, that was absurd. I felt ashamed for him.

Yes very bad from him. Should have been booked as well

As for Milan - or should I say AC Empoli, a terrible performance. But what's there to expect? Terrible management, followed by a poor coach and a limited roster filled with the wrong decisions and wrong components.

For the last time... last season Gattuso's simplistic style of play made it abundantly clear what Milan's strong and weak sides are. Now tell me this: we decided to "upgrade" our team with a new coach and new philosophy, while adding little to none (yes, Leao, Duarte, Krunić and Bennacer are not much for me).

Then our coach decides to turn pretty much all positive aspects of last season upside-down and makes players like Suso, Hakan, etc. look terrible. Meanwhile Ricky Massara says the Correa story has been blown out of proportions by the media which means we gave up. Boban and Maldini, players I admire, but managerial amateurs, lead Milan out of Europe in order to have "more freedom" with FPP and decide to splash money on a 4th left back and a kid striker who scored less then 10 goals at Lille.

Just like last season, we start with a pile of "junk players" that are basically useless. But last season those players were Mauri, Bertolacci, etc - players virtually impossible to sell. This season we have Strinić, Biglia, Kessie, Castillejo, etc. Plusvalenza or not, by keeping them and not adding up experience is just solidifying our downfall.

And by experienced players by no means do I mean Ronaldo. I mean good or very good players who would probably sign for us. Look at Fiorentina - just one summer and everyone is talking about a "project". Is anyone talking about a Milan project? I don't think so. AC Empoli

The final ten minutes of this game tell you everything. The good old Suso jumped at the first sign of trouble back to right wing, Piatek vanished, Pirloğlu got lost in his dreams. Good moves Giampa. Everything Gattuso learned us you managed to reset and made us even worse. Great decision making. AC Empoli

Again, I told you so. I watched Hakan for HSV and for Lever. He's lethargic, dreamy, sluggish and virtually incontrollable. Don't get me wrong, I'm not obsessed with the "I told you so" moments, it's just that I feel very frustrated with the way Milan is being handled and also I notice you guys tend to believe only what you see/experience. Same happened with a bunch of other players.


Really ashamed. Can you remember the famous Gilardino dive, what was it, Celtic? And we whined and whined. But this is so much worse. Really disgraceful.

Giampaolo needs to stop f*ck around and play the best of the best we have. This is not pre-season anymore.

Bennacer, Kessie and Paqueta in midfield must be a constant from now on. Same with Leao.

I really hope we sign Correa otherwise we're screwed.

Didn't you hear Ricky Massara? I don't think we'll be signing Correa.

I don't believe anything until the end of the window.

The thing is, we made already two steps backward. As I said earlier, opposition is much stronger. Whereas we have a management and coach who still hasn't figured out what Borini should be used or not used for, what Suso and Hakan can or cannot play, etc.

tbh we actually did better than I expected. We didn't lose by more than one goal.

This team is already fighting not to be a bottom 10 team. In fact, it may even be seeking avoiding being bottom 5. It's that bad.

It has a manager versed in mediocrity, a squad with no planning and no structure, thoroughly average players, and a desire to play those already average players in completely ill-fitting positions.

This is what dims my heart re: Milan. I can tolerate a bad team as long as it tries. I just can't tolerate one that plays bad, lacks morale, has no obvious system and is guided by someone utterly out of his depth.

Oh, and another thing - I knew it would be a duff season when I saw our new shirt - every recent season we have had the thin stripes, the horrible shirt, it reflects a horrible team or bad season. 11/12 (the summer which saw the exodus), 13/14 (8th), 16 (7th) and now this one. Especially the 2011 one. The start of the end.
