Oh, and just wanted to mention the Udinese players. Some of the most disgusting behavior I've seen from a set of players on the pitch with their constant attemps at delaying the match. Wanna know the actual play time of this game? 45 minutes! 45!!! That's a new low.

This constant argument that we can't handle the pressure is getting old and it's not so convincing anymore. We've been top of the table for so, so many weeks during this year and a half.

We need to accept the fact that these players are incredibly inconsistent, and very overrated. The only reason we're at the top spots is because the Serie A is a garbage league. Did you see Napoli against Barcelona? Another top Italian side being ridiculed by the worst Barcelona of the last 20 years who's barely 4th in the league.

But honestly there are so many things wrong with this team that it's pointless to start pointing them all out.

It is my conviction that these players have serious temperamental problems, and that getting to the level we are now is the best Pioli could ever get from this group.

Inconsistency and temperamentality is what you get with a young squad. And it's obvious that the performance levels are constantly going through cycles of big ups and bad lows. But I really disagree that they do not care.

And it doesn't matter for how many weeks we've led the table over the last 2 seasons. Because in the moments when we need to pull out big performances to capitalize we stumble. Same thing happened last season. We crumbled, this season we're seeing a repeat

Had Ibra and Kjaer been on the pitch these past few weeks I think we'd have played better and shown better composure and while Giroud is also a very experienced player who's won big titles, he's not the kind of character to tear you a new one when needed as both Kjaer and Ibra are and we really miss that in this moment when we need to show that extra bit of character.

If Inter take the lead back today I think we'll do much better against Napoli next week. It's just a hunch, but let's see how it plays out

As for the Napoli game being an indicator for how sh!t the league is. Napoli have been going through a rough moment as well, let's not forget that they also f@cked up their easy game last weekend. It's not only us that cannot really handle the pressure

It looked clear to me it was a handball, I was surprised they granted the goal. But yeah, the ref was ridiculously terrible.

Honestly didn't see it during the game. Was watching the BT Sport stream and on that they didn't show a clear replay of it

Seriously??


I know it did feel like they were wasting a lo of time from the opening minutes but didn't know it was this severe

Once again, this goes to the refereeing. He not only allowed the to do this by not giving them yellows for time wasting, he also facilitated it by constantly whistling at every touch when they kept going over.

Knew this game was going to be intensely irritating. We just can never sweep this b!tch @ss team aside. Hate them

I just want to add. That no matter how irritated we all feel with this group in these moments.

Let us not forget. We have been robbed of 7 (SEVEN) points so far this season because of bad refereeing. That is title deciding no matter which way you look at it

Don't even want to think about the bad calls that went on in the CL as well on top of all that

I don't get it. Maybe I'm too stupid, but I can't see how being first and playing Salernitana and Udinese cannot lead a group of players to put their hearts and souls on the pitch. What else motivates football players than winning titles? I just don't get it.

Players who have never really won anything before. And playing with said title in mind

It's not about effort. I don't believe that. Ever since the Samp game we have seen 2 terrible displays. Where at first sight you can say they were lazy performances, but looking back now I personally think they were erratic, full of tension and individual errors due to said tension. And the problem is that everyone is letting their heads fall. We're leading games and instead of shutting them out we're basically inviting these teams on and giving them the confidence they shouldn't have. Because we score and are too scared to go for another or are too busy making passing errors to get anywhere near the goal

Btw, Kessie wanting 9m net per season is the biggest lol in football. 1 good season and he wants 9m. He's been sh!t throughout the season. If it weren't for the fact that Baka is barely a player I wouldn't give him another minute on the pitch until the end of the season.

Inter having an absolute stinker against Genoa apparently.

I'm sure they'll find a way to sh!thouse a win but this really is getting ridiculous how all the top sides seem to have gone into hyper-sh!t mode all of a sudden.

That's not the feeling I got. I saw a bunch of duds playing horrible football without any semblance of determination.

You can feel the pressure in the last week, in a big game, a final or semi-final. But we're in the 27th week, there's a calvary of other games ahead. What, do they just stop playing football now?

Inter also draw 0-0 to Genoa. If there was a moment we should have used to gain momentum on them, it was now. And we're squandering it in the most epic fashion possible.

Whatever.

The bottle job scudetto

Whoever wins this will crawl to it

Can't wait to see the game on Tuesday. Inter can't score to save their lives while we cannot buy a clean sheet

The team that retired was a team built on experience. Age was the discussion on this forum, but when they retired, so did the titles. From one restructuring to another, to this date.

No other team that was fielded gave me goose bumps and emotions as that team that retired. Rich in history.


For now, I see this team forming a core, Maldini has done a very good job in rebuilding not only a team but moral values within the team. Letting Dollarumma, Kessie and Romagnoli leave on a free without remorse (except from us fans) all at the expense of rebuilding a sense of belonging at the teams core. I believe if this project is allowed to continue, then titles can be achieved and glory can be retained to make a memorable Milan team again.

Again, I think the problem lies within Pioli. He's a one trick manager and he used his trick.

I agree. Pioli is not the only problem, but he's one of the main problems. I don't think he's smart enough tactically, and especially he's not capable of instilling a winning mentality into his players.

But besides Pioli's issues and the attitude of the players, what's also worrying is how sterile our attack is. Giroud, Brahim, Messias, Saelemaekers, Rebic, all piss-poor. Leao is the only one who can produce that ray of light once in a while, but he's too isolated and plays too much by himself.

That's why all these Botman and Sanches rumours annoy me a little because nobody really talks about how badly we need at least a couple of quality signings in attack.
