A draw was a fair result.

2nd half of last season, Milan did not have Europe to contend with so had enough rest days. Also no Corona virus to take crucial players from us for a minimum of two weeks at a time.

That said, this is just the beginning of the season, if Milan gets a CL birth then it's a very very good result. First place is not something this squad can achieve.

So yes this draw is a fair result, hoping to keep winning is not possible. Maintaining an unbeaten run however is certainly something of a feat but not sure when that will end.

Still not keen on Leao on the wing. He doesn't link well with the others, but at the same time the first two goals came from him, so it?s hard to discredit his performance.

Thought we played well but the ref really wasn't interested.

But ultimately Romagnoli cost us the 3 points. One of the worst misses you'll see this season.

But equating who should have won this game with the fact that we can't keep winning doesn't make much sense to me. Sure it had to end at some point, but not like this. A game we should have won, and had Gigio been there it would have been a 2-0 game for sure.

This is the mentality of old, not expecting too much, yet the disappointed and angry reactions from all Milan fans shows that we've come to expect to be the dominant side in games and to win them as well. That's how far the bar has been raised since Pioli and Ibra came imo

This time last season, not even God could have helped us walk the ball into the back of the net. We could not score for love or money.

Look at us now. Should still be at a 100% record if it weren't for some shocking refereeing and a couple of miracle saves from Mirante, plus missing Donna.


Agreed. He just doesn't do it for me. It feels like he doesn't know what he wants to be. He's all gangly awkwardness, but his burst of pace really is a killer when he uses it correctly.


Nah, can't put this on Romagnoli's shoulders. Kessie, and Kjear also came inches close. But the ref and Tatarusanu really were our killer blows.

Really hope Donna 2.0 starts the next few games in goal

We shouldn't have gone for Lyon's reserve goalie. Low move from Paolo. He hadn't played a game since February. There are so many active goalies in Serie A who would gladly accept to be Donna's reserve.

Goals win matches. He missed an open one in the final second. It's on him.

Pioli going with practically an identical line-up to the one I posted here. Ibre instead of Leao though...

I really wish he would rest, there's no need for him to be straining himself. We need him for the league.

OFFICIAL Milan XI vs. Sparta Prague:

Tatarusanu; Calabria, Kjaer, Romagnoli, Dalot; Tonali, Bennacer; Castillejo, Brahim, Krunic; Ibrahimovic

Tatarusanu starting... Pioli obviously not wanting to completely demoralise him. Hoping he doesn't flap as he did on Monday

Fun Fact: Theo starts from the bench for the first time since September 2019

Diaz!!!

It's clear that Castell has no future in this team. I think it is best to part ways in January.

I'm really really liking Dalot and Diaz! Hope that we can keep them.

Dalooot!!

Calabria out. He's been immense. Amazing performances.

Maybe we should start playing Dalot on the left, so Theo can wake his @ss a little.

He's unwatchable.

The obvious weak link in the entire 11

Don't think we can recoup much on what we paid for him at this point. If we sell him that would probably be all of Leo's purchases gone.

And I thought we'd get rid of the Mirabelli players first... (Hakan and Kessie turning into top players under Pioli so have to give him credit for those 2)


Overall good game. I like the fact that we can rotate heavily and still play a relatively comfortable game without losing any of the characteristics the first team displays.

Diaz is a gem for sure. He's the one I for sure want to see us keep. Dalot is a quality utility player imo. He can play many roles and play them all well, he's like a Bonaventura. Would keep him as well, but we have to look at what Real and Man U would want for them. Diaz would be the priority though
