I honestly don't think playing with or without Suso will change much. If the team as a whole is out of ideas, one man cannot make a difference, for the better or worse.
I disagree, Suso has the capability to change the match by himself, he has moments of brilliance, that's why I've always liked him, but he has massive limitations that's making me really see that he is not our way forward
He's slow and slows down the play too much.
I think having two direct and quick players on the wings will definitely make a huge difference.

I understand frustration and disappointment. But in all fairness its easy to judge the team or coach from weekend to the next, while the whole week of training we are in the dark.
The team that goes on the pitch is one that went through training and proved capable (amongst the others) to start.
Maybe as spectators we desire a certain method or player or tactic etc, however and barring hindsight the one that was applied during the game is the one the team was most effective in.
P. S. It's too early in the season to start downgrading players/coach. If anything I'd shoulder the blame on the novice directors rather than the coach or team.
I disagree completely there
This is not about how players are doing in training, this is clearly a coach that is afraid, so he's going by the old crutches. But the problem is that we all know these old crutches much better than him. The same players that lead us through one disappointing season after another are surely not going to produce something magical now.
Bennacer was MotM against Brescia. Why has he dropped him for the laboring Biglia? A player who has never really got into gear for us and hinders us greatly thanks to his over deliberation on the ball and sideways passing.

Well, I disagree. You know that I was always on your side of this and I understand that a coach evaluates the situation day by day. But on the other hand, we are fans and we follow the club and players also day by day and season by season. Some things that might surprise Giampaolo are known facts to us.
That being said, I don't trust Giampaolo one bit. I think his judgement is completely wrong and his approach leaves much to be desired. X-O made a good point: with Ringo you always had a blunt and sincere guy who was a troop leader. He understood the players and their mindset and mostly related with them. Giampaolo on the other hand seems to have a different approach - and it's obviously failing. And the fact that he's creating problems on his own only adds fuel to a fire. For me it's a simple decision - nothing in Giampaolo's career indicates he's worth waiting for or the patient. We tried, and failed. Let's move on.
We're tired of losing year after year. Time is running out a we gotta try move faster or Milan will be reduced to mere history and no real future.
Agreed

Paquetà injured, not available for Torino on Thursday.

Hakan or Bona can play that position. That doesn't worry me. Paqueta hasn't been good under GP anyway. What interests me is what he'll do with Rodriguez, Biglia and Suso
