Most predicted line-ups still have Montella using the 4-3-3 with Borini starting on the wing. Honestly, I'm getting concerned about this if he keeps on persisting with it when we obviously don't have the players for it

Well, that was a complete clusterf***.

Montella to blame for the bad lineup and tactics, but the players didn't help matters at all.

True the players didn't help out, but I feel like there's a general confusion about each player and their role. Bonucci was all the way up near the opposition's box on their 3rd. Just makes no sense for him to push up so high when you're a 2-0 and still have nearly 45 minutes left to play. Same goes for the 4th.

I think the 4-3-3 is really not helping matters. Bonucci is clearly more comfortable in a back 3. He just looks flat footed atm. Musacchio also looking very suspect. I can't tell if this is because they're getting continually exposed by their midfield and FBs pushing too high, or because they're not yet comfortable with each other and the system or a combination of both.

Kessie is another huge problem for me atm. One moment he does something great, blink and he's messing up. His inexperience is really showing through imo

Cutrone, I've probably said this a million times, but I'm going to say it again, we can't get ahead of ourselves about this kid. He's deadly in front of goal, he's clearly got the instincts but he's just not involved in the general play, which is problematic. So my question is, why do you use him instead of either Kalinic or Silva who have far more experience and are both good in the build up? Cutrone might be good against teams like Crotone when we have 10 players in the opposition's half but he's not ready for a game like this and Montella should have recognised this before hand. I honeslty feel sorry for Silva. For me he's one of our most exciting signings and he's being left out.

Or rather, Lazio scored 4 goals and decided to step down.

True, but imo we showed more signs of life once they came on. Not saying it's not partly due to Lazio handing over the reigns but we actually managed to combine a couple of plays.

From what I read from German papers and tv shows, Carletto's time at Bayern could be over sooner rather then later. I think we should keep him on a shortlist.

The man I'd really want for this job would be Conte. We have a team designed for the type of game he likes to play. Sadly he's unreachable. Carlo has a very different philosophy. I don't think he's switch to a back 3 either tbh

I feel the same Han.

Actually, this game, for a reasonable coach should tell two or three things.

1. Calabria never wears a Milan jersey again.

2. 4-3-3 is dead, use 3-5-2 or get sacked.

3. Anyone except Borini.

4. Save Cutrone for Crotone, this shiit is above his level.

Why Calabria? I didn't think he was that bad, his defending needs more work sure, and it's obvious he's not yet cut out for these games. My question is why not Abate? Why go for the inexperienced kid against the tough opponent FFS? Montella's choices have really been baffling to me as of late.
