ANDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[CrazyMilanFan]

Finally silva scores

[CrazyMilanFan]

We were the better side as mentioned already our attacking play is simply not good enough. But all in all important 3 points amd hopefully will give silva confidence for next games

Always tough visiting Genoa. 3 points and onwards (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

What a goal.

Rino should just play a 4-4-2 next at Arsenal and just pump in crosses. It's the best way to get at them. Be really aggressive as well.

We need to play without fear. I still believe, that was a goal that we would have never scored a few months ago.

[Fillipo Simone]

Above everyting we lack attacking power. Think about it, we play with three forwards, out of whom Hakan is an attacking mid and Cutrone/Kalinic/Silva are absolutely not up to the task. That only leaves Suso who clearly is not a Kaka’ or Ronaldo to solve things on his own.

Point is, we can’t score for sh*t.

Yes, you're right. But that's a mess our management made. We duplicated one young talented striker (Cutrone) with another (Silva) position-wise. We overpaid Kalinić and now have dead weight in our team. So we spent much money but gained little to none.

Agreed. We have nothing to lose now.

I think Silva and Cutrone are very different strikers. Cutrone is obviously a fox in the box a la Pippo, but with good physicality, speed and hold-up/link-up play.

Silva imo is a much more versatile player, maybe not as deadly in front of goal but offers you different things

Kalinic, I'm not even going to say is a bad player, he has a good touch and great vision for a striker. But he's seriously lacking that killer instinct, and the more chances he misses, the more his confidence will plummet.


And yeah, we need to go all out, no holds barred against Arsenal. I don't think we can win the competition or even get past them, but I don't want to see another whimpering performance against them

[X-Offender]

Yep, also agree about the switch in formation (which really would be more of a 4-2-4 than 4-4-2). But that would require extra effort from our players, especially from the two wingers (Bona/Hakan and Suso).

Honestly, Bona has been seriously frustrating the sh!t out of me as of late. His constant head down, run with the ball into cull de sacs and shooting directly at the keeper is really frustrating.

If we had a proper box-to-box guy instead of him our midfield would function better. The only good thing he's done this season is score a couple of goals with his late runs into the box, but other than that, he's been really disappointing.

And Rino is obviously not happy with him either. He took him off when we were chasing the game to put in Calabria. and it proved to be a masterful move. Hakan also needs tto up his game again, it feels like he's relaxed now that he's won his starting spot, and I'm sure Rino is not happy with him either as he's pulled him off in both recent games.

It's not a question of how different Cutrone and Silva is. Point is: Milan does not need to baby strikers "in development". We can nurture and wait for one of them, one should be loaned out or sold right out. Two young talents is too much for the ambitions we had/still have - in attack.

Well, when we bought Silva no one knew how Cutrone would explode onto the scene.

I think both are worth keeping. We just need that one lethal, experienced guy to rely on. And that certainly is no Kalinic

Man, we didn't know. Are management's job is to know such things and to plan in advance.

Disagree, you really can't tell how a Primavera kid is going to adjust when playing with the seniors, no matter how good he's doing with the other kids, it's always impossible to tell how they'll adapt, even if the talent factor is off the charts it's a difficult thing to gauge
