Yeah, but don't forget how this management tried to f*ck Bennacer over. As per my understanding, some of Bennacer's intermediaries misinformed him he would get important offers from Saudi, and based on this we decided to put him on the market. But these offers never came. In the very last day Atletico and Marseille tried to sign him on loan but it was too late for negotiations to go through.

Did you know Bennacer didn't train for 3 days last week? Some say he faked medical certificates. He also appears slightly overweight.

His whole situation was handled terribly by this so-called management. Now how do you re-integrate a player who might be shown the door again in January? How do you make sure he's fit and motivated for the next 4 months?

I know Bennacer has had a drop in his performances, but he's a great player and needs to feel important and part of the project. We've done the complete opposite. Apparently his 4M wages are too much for this management. My god, I can't stand RedBird anymore.

We're back to banter era levels. This is Giampaolo's Milan all over again. Yes, nobody was happy with Fonseca from the get-go, but I thought it was only fair to at least give him a chance. No way, this guy has no idea what he's doing. And he has lost completely control of the locker room. What Leao and Theo did last night during the cooling break was shameful. Everyone is talking about it.

Then on to the individuals. I truly believe that even if you replaced Emerson with Hakimi and Loftus-Cheek with Dani Olmo nothing would change, because this level of disorganisation goes beyond the individuals. But it must be said that some of these players are downright terrible.

Chukwueze!!! OMFG! I keep repeating myself over and over again, but this guy is pure garbage. Possibly the worst signing we've ever made considering how much we spent for him.

Loftus-Cheek. How on earth he has played 3 full 90 minutes goes beyond me. The guy is the epitome of useless. Just name me one good trait he has that he displays on the pitch for the better of the team. Nada! He's simply jogging all match without doing anything of substance. My god how f@cking terrible...

I always maintained that Pobega was our worst player, but I stand corrected. Terracciano is without a shadow of doubt the worst player to have worn this shirt since Bakaye Traor? in 2012. We are talking Serie C levels here, without exaggeration.

Emerson Royal looked half decent in the first half, but both goals came from his flank. And he never pushed forward once. We all knew he was gonna be sh*t and lo and behold, he is sh*t. Only Moncada couldn't see it because he has prosciutto over his eyes.

Man, I could go on and on and on but it would be a never-ending post. I just wanna say that the Milan we have seen in these first three games is one of the worst things I have seen in my life as a fan. And that is saying something.

Agreed on everything.

Today at times we looked like a Serie B team. Or rather, like a team that didn't care and didn't know what was doing.

Anyone around anymore?

We just got Fofana, Romano just gave his 'here we go' green light.

If we manage to retain our current players, and only sell guys like Pobega and Adli, with Fofana, Emerson Royal, Morata and Pavlovic we've strengthened our squad relatively well. I still think we miss a vice-Theo and another CF cos Jovic cannot be Morata's sub, but hopefully Fonseca will be able to adapt Okafor as CF as well in case we don't sign anyone else.

Seriously? People already saying he'll be the best RB in Serie A. 🥲

Looks like we're very serious about Zirkzee and Fofana.

But obviously they wouldn't solve our problems. We'd really need a change in mentality first and foremost. We can't have guys like Leao keep playing like he did in the past two seasons.

Obviously no-one likes Fonseca myself included, but let's hope for the best. Maybe he'll surprise us all.

You're strong still watching Milan games. I gave up after the derby.

Regarding Leao, we should sell. He's not the right player to build your ambitions around. The guy may have talent, but this is not the right environment for him. He's wasting his and our time.

Just ship him off to PSG or someplace, grab 70-80 mil and invest.

Rumours about Theo having accepted terms with Bayern. Hope it's BS.

Against the ownership. Lack of ambition and clear objectives, in a nutshell.

And you wanted him to stay only a few weeks ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I repeat, the most disgraceful coach in Milan history.

Pioli is a disgrace to the Milan history.

Also, Leao CF and Musah RW tonight against Inter. Pioli ending it in class I see. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Lopetegui rumours were immediately dismissed. He's close to signing for West Ham I hear.

There have been nominated 8968732 names thus far. It's still too early to tell. My hope is Thiago Motta.

Pioli must be sacked tonight. I would be hugely disappointed if it doesn't happen.

Tonight was a new low. We just hit rock bottom.

I want to throw up.

Yeah but who cares about the scudetto in the derby. What does it change? Whether Inter win it next week or after two weeks the deal is done. What matters is the Roma game.

IMO if we stand a chance to go through we should play a proper 4-2-3-1 with Pulisic AM and Okafor CF. Giroud and RLC have been trash lately. And we?re too static with them on the pitch.

This team has no balls. Every time it matters they sh*t themselves never showing up. Always these apathetic displays with no desire and determination. I'm so fed up with this attitude. Starting from Leao. What a shitshow from him last night.

Then don't even get me started on the tactics. Pioli, a seasoned coach with decades of experience on his shoulders getting outplayed by a novice like De Rossi. All it took was shifting El Shaarway on the right to close the spaces for Theo and Leao and all of a sudden we had no game plan.

Then his inability to read the game midway and change things. Instead of subbing in Adli, Chukweuze and Okafor for the non-exitsent Bennacer, RLC and Giroud at half-time, he waits and waits when even someone who understands nothing of football could see we were completely blocked on the pitch. The players weren't moving. Roma had closed all spaces. They were pressing like crazy and were always first on each ball. What does he do? Nothing.

That's why he needs to leave. This is enough.

This is why Pioli needs to leave.

Yeah, but I think Thiaw is a better match-up for Lukaku.

Today he didn't even make those dangerous decisions. He limited himself to the simple short pass. I must have counted 7-8 occasions when his teammates were in good positions and he didn't even bother. Underwhelming.

Against Roma we must start with Bennacer-Reijnders. Isma too must give himself a wake up call cos he's been very meh lately.

Too bad we'll miss Tomori due to suspension. I reckon it'll be Gabbia with their Thiaw (injured today) or Kjaer.

What a rubbish performance by Adli I must say. Slow, no smart passes. Very Krunic-like.

That's a ridiculous red card I must say.

Again, you're not considering the fact they we don't need to sell.

Forget the rumours about Maignan wanting insane wages. It was confirmed that was all BS. His demands are around 6M, we can easily reach an agreement at 5.5M like with Leao. And yes, he hasn't been superb this season, but he's still one of the best GK's in the world and last night's game confirmed it.

This new ownership keeps talking about wanting to win, about wanting to bring back the CL. Well, to do that first and foremost you keep your best players.

And I disagree about the DM situation. Sure I wouldn't say no to a quality DM, but on the right we are in catastrophic conditions and that needs to be fixed ASAP.

Bennacer is coming from a serious injury, I can accept him not being in top form. But his qualities are unquestionable and as a metronome+ball winner he's one of the best in the league.

PS: I wouldn't be surprised if we sold Tonali because we knew of his gambling problems and that we would lose him for a full year.



Nah man, you're letting the results get to your head. As I said this team is full of problems. And Pioli has ended his cycle. Guys like Conte or Thago Motta would bring so much more to the table. It's time to part ways.

Pioli said something yesterday after the match which is very true. We have 14 points of gap with Inter. This whole difference was generated in late October / early November, when we played 4 consecutive games and made only 2 points: Juventus (L), Napoli (D), Udinese (L) and Lecce (D). Inter instead made 4/4, thus 12 points. That's your 10 points of difference, which adding the derby loss gives you 13 points out of the 14.

Because other than that we have made a very good run, it must be said. I don't like the sort of football we play, I don't like the attitude of our players most of the time, we're not consistent and our defensive game is a mess. But still we've collected 65 points which if I'm not mistaken is on par or even better than our scudetto season.

It really sucks because we conceded the scudetto win to Inter very easily. We could have put a very good challenge, there were no other opponents. But we fumbled like a bunch of losers and that's why Pioli needs to go.

We wouldn't have to sell any of the big 3 though, that's the thing. Because we don't have to. We don't need money. We have zero debts, and we even ended last year with a positive net result. Our financial situation is excellent.

It's time we started thinking big. And by big I mean keep all of our good players and strengthen the squad in the weak areas.

We need AT ALL COST a quality RB and a quality CF. Then of course adjust things here and there, like get rid of Chukweuze and maybe sign a better winger, sign a bench CF (Jovic is not good enough, Giroud will leave), replace Kjaer etc. But our core is strong.

Maignan, Tomori, Thiaw, Theo, Reijnders, Bennacer, Musah, Loftus, Leao, Pulisic, Okafor. These are all young and quality players that should be kept as the foundation of the new Milan. I'd even throw in guys like Gabbia and Adli for good measure.

Of course for this to finally take off the first and most important step would be to get rid of Pioli and sign a top coach.

Please don't mention Chucueze ever again. That useless dud needs to be sold off ASAP this summer. One of the worst signings of the last 10 years.
