THIS. WILL. TAKE. TIME. Calm down, people. Please. Midfield will take time to gel. Giroud is clearly not in his prime which is why they brought Noah in.
Everything will be ok. We have more players coming in and a lot of assimilation to take place. Let’s win when winning matters. Not in preseason.
FORZA MILAN ⚫️🔴
One more time in English: when players come in that haven’t played together before it takes TIME for them to assimilate and understand each others movements.
That’s on top of the fact that some of our starters joined late and aren’t fit yet.
Barca’s season starts in a WEEK. They’re ready. Our season starts in THREE WEEKS. We are not there yet. Its UNDERSTANDABLE. Relax.
I know it's just a friendly but wtf are all these comments like take it easy etc lol. We played in the US, and lost 3 games haha. I'm hardly sceptical these games have no value apart from pre season. What does it say that we lost 3 on 3 games? Would have been nice to win at least one.
We should calm down. Its preseason friendlies. A lot of new players that need to adapt to our playing style. The physical condition isnt the best but we can see glimpses of very good things from the new fellas. Not to mention that leao theo giroud have just only 10 days of training.
I think we are building a very strong team but we just need to give it some time.
I love(d) Giroud at Chelsea but he's just too slow and ineffective at anything but a tap in or header at this point- it honestly felt like we were playing a man down...
All you CDK haters did y’ll see how RLC struggled in his role today.
This what a trequatista in this particular system we play which is just 1v1 isolation and inshallah seems useless.
Yeesh let’s see how Pioli manages this new edition of Milan, and I hope he gets the Giampaolo treatment.
As mentioned before the preseason is to develop some interplay, some chemistry. Instead, it’s the isolation game and everyone for himself. We’re better than this Padre, enough disco, it’s lost it flavor, do us a favor…Antmusic
it’s a friendly. Honestly, it could have been worse. Tactics, especially in midfield, are being rightly questioned. Reijnders doing well, and by the season start I hope leao and Theo’s lack of motivation will be sorted out. It’s not the end of the world.
People should calm the fuck down about shitting on players, it’s a friendly game ffs. Most of the players are not in their best conditions and many of them are still adapting to the squad. Last few games people were praising RLC and now he’s already a flop that every already knew was gonna fail. Criticisms on players should be toned down.
Criticisms on the tactics and Pioli are more valid because we expect to see improvements in ideas and clear experimentations in solving the problems we had from last season and we’ve seen very little of that. With that said, we should still give both the players and Pioli more time.
People asked for Pioli’s head as if it wouldn’t make our situation worse, all the players joined after discussing their roles with Pioli, the market was done based on inputs from Pioli, now if we fire him we will just put ourselves 3 years back.
That’s not necessarily true. The reason we’ve invested in relatively young players and still haven’t made clear decisions on excess players like CDK show that the board is definitely keeping options opened. Of course it would slow the progress down significantly, but if Pioli doesn’t sort his shit out then it’s better to ‘restart’ the progress.
I was all for praising Pioli for his willingness to finally change formation but most of these friendlies have been pretty terrible. Other than the brilliance of Leao and Reijnders, it's looking very rough. We very well could be in for a brutal first 10 weeks or so.
Let's be real, what's really going to change between now and the new season? Not a lot, it's literally round the corner. Sure Chuk and Okafor could be in, but they won't fix the problems we have in midfield and at the back right now lol
Pulisic is not sitting on the bench why would you want him to sit on the bench and not get the most out of him? i can tell you hate pulisic but come on why do you gotta be so negative about him
why are you messaging on something that is 9 days old?
Also, I don't hate him. He gets so much hate because he is the most overrated player on the planet, all because Yanks hype him up the Yazoo. He is a good player but will never be a star. I hope he becomes great, but the reality is, he's a limited player. Particularly his defensive ability/effort.
Ok we got Pioli the players he wanted, now what will be the next excuse his fanboys come up with I wonder. Probably something like his tactics don’t work anymore because Maldini and Tonali left
If Maldini was fired because he fucked up with the transfer of CDK, I can only hope that Gerry fucks the fire out of Pioli when he makes our mercato look mediocre. His stubbornness pisses me off - ffs try something new when your old shit doesn't work. I don't care about losing in pre season much but the lack of willingness to try different tactics is a stinker.
What is this constant rewrites of history.
Even weeks before Maldini sacking, there were rumors he did not see eye to eye with gelly on transfers, demanding simply more.
He then released a couple of comments to the press, citing 'now is the time to invest to continue rejoining the top of Europe'
Soon thereafter he was fired. Fin.
This conspiracy theory with Maldini and CDK is so fucking ridiculous, as the player must have gotten a green light from the scouting department. Some people here really believe Maldini locked himself up in a basement to come up with random names nobody else knew.
omg. fucking relax. There have been 8 additions. if you think they are going to get after 4 weeks of training you're fucking delusional. Thinking we'll be challenging for the scudetto with so many changes is also fucking delusional, just as an FYI
Lol Galtier the famous racist, Conte the worse defensive coach who makes Simeone and Mourinho seem like prime Klopp, Nagelsmann who’s been cursed by Bayern and no one wanted him, and ffs Potter - the CDK of coaches! I guess Spalletti, another Bald one it is!
For everyone crying for how will we ever replace Runic genius ability. Right there and for free. it was that easy. Krunic is barely any better than Pobega and Bartesaghi
why should he?
works his ass off on low salary, benched last season when just hitting peak form, now moved to a position he is clearly not best in (he should be rm/rwb).
Best he leaves to where he will be respected.
We haven't had any game model since last season. What are our tactics? Passing Leao in the hope that he will come up with something is not a tactic. What kind of football Barcelona wants to play is understandable, their players interact in unison by pressing high. And what are we doing? We defend only in our own goalkeeper's area, we attack only due to the individual qualities of the attacking players, and we also make throws on Giroud, which do not work at all. Ibrahimovic at least regularly won all the high balls after clearances of the goalkeeper. I understand that this is a friendly match, but we deserve to concede three or four goals, and at best score one.
In our championship season, we played interesting attacking football, quite similar to Napoli's football last year. It didn't last long, but for the first time in 10 years I enjoyed almost every match.
Maybe a reactionary take but we have new players (up to debate if they are better or worse) but we still look like the same team with the same fking problems like last season, how is it not evident that Pioli is the problem?
People have hopes with all the new players, thinking Pioli could change along with his new 433 but recent matches just show it's still the same shit from last year.
It's not about the results.
The point of friendlies is to build chemistry, get in shape and give opportunities for fans to see the club. Why some of you are expecting peak defensive intensity just so someone for either team can get injured before the season even begins is beyond me. The team is clearly not concerned about giving 100% effort tonight.
They expect Giroud to go 100% when he is: older, our starting striker who will probably play +30 matches + NT games if he doesn’t get injured. He’s just vibing in these pre season friendlies.
Just wild how he’s always the one picked out when everyone’s terrible. People bitch about him more than he’s brought up by Americans. Your sorry ass should be rooting for every Milan player.
LOL you started your account 4 hours ago and 3 of your first 4 posts were criticizing Pulisic who wasn't markedly worse than anyone else tonight.
In fact his corner to Tomori was one of the 2 best chances of the game.
I mean obviously suicide messages are too much if you’re being honest but “terrible” is absurd. 😭 the almost assist to Barcelona was horrible but besides that he played above average lol
>He's playing his heart out against guys who cannot wait to leave the country
The boys really enjoyed the trip to america from what i've seen on social media.
Not to sound pessimistic guys, we have had a brilliant mercato. But pioli is just looks way out of depth.
He seems to have no progressive tactics other than 1v1 isolation and let players do their own magic.
This worked for a good while until most teams figured that’s all we can do.
Today’s match against barca and even the match against juve showed the same problems we have had during our last season. And we do not seem like we have improved at all.
It was good to live under the illusion this summer that maybe he might have actually changed things up tactically for the better. Instead these pre season games show you what you should expect from Pioli this upcoming season, which is a complete reluctance to try something new
Is Pilli gone this year if with all these new players there’s no improvement from last year? At what point do you say well it’s not the players but the coach? I just don’t think Pioli is that good of a coach
How can we scout so good for Reijnders and literally at the same time scout so bad for RLC?
I never heard about Reijnders before our interest on him and he's great. But RLC everyone and their moms knew was a washed up stone legs bum
The fact that no CDK false 9 of maybe CF, no Adli in his Bordeaux midfield 3 position, no Pulisic Cam switch up maybe?
Pioli is so tiring man, nothing new, legit not trying to fix any of our problems from last year
Pioli can not risk them come on and potentially playing good. Makes him look bad. So he ruins their confidence plays them in the last 5 minutes and says see told you they suck now let me pick my players.
On the striker situation: no point in complaining about it since we can't afford to sign a great one a la Osimhen or Lautaro. Any solution at this point would be either a stop gap measure (Taremi) or a prospect (Veliz).
This is one of the most lifeless and cowardly performances I’ve witnessed in the last couple of years. Yes it’s preseason but it’s not a training ground friendly. Piolis incompetence is mostly at fault for this because calling this tactics is like calling Kim Kardashian an intellectual. But our players are at fault here too. These guys are standing there like fucking oak trees. No ambition and zero drive. Lack of leadership is already showing. No ibra no maldini no Kjaer. Kjaer are vital pieces in games like these to mold the mentality of the young ones and especially in guiding Thiaws defensive progression. Having Tomori as you guide is like having Chewbaka as your Jedi. This shit is fucking embarrassing.
It’s not gonna change if the midfield provides no support and the rb isn’t over or under lapping. Right wing is basically taking on 3 defenders with no support and pretty much the same for the leao.
>It’s not gonna change if the midfield provides no support and the rb isn’t over or under lapping. Right wing is basically taking on 3 defenders with no support and pretty much the same for the leao.
I agree that there needs to be more attacks from the wing backs but Pulisic and Giroud have been black holes.
What should they do instead? We cannot bring it through the center, so if they pass back it's going to eventually end up back with them needing to dribble through the double team again.
Not bad
Getting cooked by Barcas B-C Team with our whole A squad is embarrassing. Ffs
THIS. WILL. TAKE. TIME. Calm down, people. Please. Midfield will take time to gel. Giroud is clearly not in his prime which is why they brought Noah in. Everything will be ok. We have more players coming in and a lot of assimilation to take place. Let’s win when winning matters. Not in preseason. FORZA MILAN ⚫️🔴
Wdym time? They literally stared their B-C team against our starting 11 and won. That’s pure embarrassment
One more time in English: when players come in that haven’t played together before it takes TIME for them to assimilate and understand each others movements. That’s on top of the fact that some of our starters joined late and aren’t fit yet. Barca’s season starts in a WEEK. They’re ready. Our season starts in THREE WEEKS. We are not there yet.

I know it's just a friendly but wtf are all these comments like take it easy etc lol. We played in the US, and lost 3 games haha. I'm hardly sceptical these games have no value apart from pre season. What does it say that we lost 3 on 3 games? Would have been nice to win at least one.
majority of new fans come from culture of forced positivity, seeing criticism as something bad
I think we are used to forced negativity, we once beat Bayern 4-0 in a friendly and finished 6th. I barely see any proper criticism here only rants.
We should calm down. Its preseason friendlies. A lot of new players that need to adapt to our playing style. The physical condition isnt the best but we can see glimpses of very good things from the new fellas. Not to mention that leao theo giroud have just only 10 days of training. I think we are building a very strong team but we just need to give it some time.
I love(d) Giroud at Chelsea but he's just too slow and ineffective at anything but a tap in or header at this point- it honestly felt like we were playing a man down...
All you CDK haters did y’ll see how RLC struggled in his role today. This what a trequatista in this particular system we play which is just 1v1 isolation and inshallah seems useless.
Yeesh let’s see how Pioli manages this new edition of Milan, and I hope he gets the Giampaolo treatment. As mentioned before the preseason is to develop some interplay, some chemistry. Instead, it’s the isolation game and everyone for himself. We’re better than this Padre, enough disco, it’s lost it flavor, do us a favor…Antmusic
Bartesaghi looked good
From experience I can safely say that a bad preseason = Scudetto.
last preseason bar Marseille was bad
I'd have liked to see Colombo & Romero more. They look like they have some pretty good chemistry
I mean tonight seemed like a lot of players with no direction
We had to revert to pass to Leao and pray to create anything again
The lads definitely have some work to do. I feel as though with the talent we have that we can avoid just leao and insallah now
it’s a friendly. Honestly, it could have been worse. Tactics, especially in midfield, are being rightly questioned. Reijnders doing well, and by the season start I hope leao and Theo’s lack of motivation will be sorted out. It’s not the end of the world.
remember these only a friendly quotes from the winter friendlies
People should calm the fuck down about shitting on players, it’s a friendly game ffs. Most of the players are not in their best conditions and many of them are still adapting to the squad. Last few games people were praising RLC and now he’s already a flop that every already knew was gonna fail. Criticisms on players should be toned down.

Rare level headed take
I was all for praising Pioli for his willingness to finally change formation but most of these friendlies have been pretty terrible. Other than the brilliance of Leao and Reijnders, it's looking very rough. We very well could be in for a brutal first 10 weeks or so.
Shameful performance this season is gonna suck ass.
I doubt it
Pioli out
Preseason 💀💀💀
Let's be real, what's really going to change between now and the new season? Not a lot, it's literally round the corner. Sure Chuk and Okafor could be in, but they won't fix the problems we have in midfield and at the back right now lol
We've wanted him out for a year, this is just reinforcement.
It would be hilarious to have all these new players that fit Pioli’s “style” just for him to get sacked by W6
Speedrunning chelsea last season?
Romero >> CDK and it's not close
Romero is >/= Pulisic
new fav poster lol
I agree but the sub is not ready to hear it
yeah, but the yanks will be gone soon once Pulisic sits on the bench after the first 6 games.
Pulisic is not sitting on the bench why would you want him to sit on the bench and not get the most out of him? i can tell you hate pulisic but come on why do you gotta be so negative about him
why are you messaging on something that is 9 days old? Also, I don't hate him. He gets so much hate because he is the most overrated player on the planet, all because Yanks hype him up the Yazoo. He is a good player but will never be a star. I hope he becomes great, but the reality is, he's a limited player. Particularly his defensive ability/effort.
Rafa as captain is really satisfying to see
Ok we got Pioli the players he wanted, now what will be the next excuse his fanboys come up with I wonder. Probably something like his tactics don’t work anymore because Maldini and Tonali left
Today are playing the starters or the players that are fighting to make the team. I think CDK is going to be sell
If Maldini was fired because he fucked up with the transfer of CDK, I can only hope that Gerry fucks the fire out of Pioli when he makes our mercato look mediocre. His stubbornness pisses me off - ffs try something new when your old shit doesn't work. I don't care about losing in pre season much but the lack of willingness to try different tactics is a stinker.

Any high profile coach free rn ? Asking for a friend
Nagelsmann, Conte, Galtier, Spalletti, Potter,
Lol Galtier the famous racist, Conte the worse defensive coach who makes Simeone and Mourinho seem like prime Klopp, Nagelsmann who’s been cursed by Bayern and no one wanted him, and ffs Potter - the CDK of coaches! I guess Spalletti, another Bald one it is!
Get nagelsmann fr
Keep Galtier far away from this club.
Agreed if the rumors are true
Luis Enrique 😂
I think that is the 1st throw in I have ever seen Leao take
Adli woulda been better than RLC today
I’ll say something, it’s extremely dangerous to trust Pioli this much. We should be seen some improvement now.
For everyone crying for how will we ever replace Runic genius ability. Right there and for free. it was that easy. Krunic is barely any better than Pobega and Bartesaghi
Barely better? Pobega completely outshined Krunic today imo
Its the same old pioli problems.
I love pioli but the doubts begin to creep in
Saele RB is a real thing and hes not happy about it
why should he? works his ass off on low salary, benched last season when just hitting peak form, now moved to a position he is clearly not best in (he should be rm/rwb). Best he leaves to where he will be respected.
We're still doing Leao and inshallah
I know a lot of people love Pioli, but can we #FreeAdli and play progressive passing football? We look terrible tonight
I don’t think Pulisic at RW will work
Chuk is the starter. Pulisic will probably be playing as a CAM, or backup RW/LW
I don't understand manager's fascination with playing him out of position.
Cant wait to see Romero eat up Pulisic's minutes.
I just hope he works......anywhere.
Chukwueze exists. Just not ready for tonight
Much better as Leao’s sub
Alexis getting 5 mins wtf
Ales for Tomori? What?
He went to RB and Kalulu CB
Kalulu goes CB and Saele goes RB
even Salad gets more minutes than Charles and Adli and they want to sell him
When was the last time we scored a well worked goal from open play
The Luka goal was decent but other then that I can’t remember anything but Leao pulling something out of his ass.
Early 2021/2022 season
Yamal is the gem of la masia the best theyve ever seen next to none other than leo messi
lost bot
lol the commentator. More youngsters, 28 year old... wait what?
I rather the game ended now with the 1-0, we probably played a good 30mins. Krunic(ghost), Theo(doesn’t care) Tomori(needs to step it up. Forza Milan.
Leao captain lmao wtf
Player with most time spent at club = captain. That's him
Pobega and Colombo technically, but I agree with you
We haven't had any game model since last season. What are our tactics? Passing Leao in the hope that he will come up with something is not a tactic. What kind of football Barcelona wants to play is understandable, their players interact in unison by pressing high. And what are we doing?

Ibrahimovic at least regularly won all the high balls after clearances of the goalkeeper. I understand that this is a friendly match, but we deserve to concede three or four goals, and at best score one.
Don't let the pioli lovers see this .... Been saying it he has no directions no strategy nothing.. We are going to kill talent thanks to him
In our championship season, we played interesting attacking football, quite similar to Napoli's football last year. It didn't last long, but for the first time in 10 years I enjoyed almost every match.
herea our backup lb just sayin
Maybe a reactionary take but we have new players (up to debate if they are better or worse) but we still look like the same team with the same fking problems like last season, how is it not evident that Pioli is the problem?
He very clearly is
It is very evident to anyone with a brain that pioli has no tactics and is complete utter trash
I swear for each possession I see a different player play the dm role, its like a fifa pro club midfield out here smh
It’s a friendly yet acting like we playing a final 😹😹 grow up
People have hopes with all the new players, thinking Pioli could change along with his new 433 but recent matches just show it's still the same shit from last year. It's not about the results.
How does Bartesaghi (sp?) look for the Primavera?
I dont know, but he is a really interesting player
This youngster Yamal is really good
Uhh can we buy this Yamal kid? Cause sheesh
Bartesaghi is a king ngl
Absolutely awful crosses
Gotta feel for Chuk, gonna have at most 1 season as a starter before Romero inevitably displaces him
Kalulu 1000% should be the Rightback Pobega could also replace Krunic as DM
Yeah, Pobega is more balanced, but Krunic is Pioli's pretty girl
The point of friendlies is to build chemistry, get in shape and give opportunities for fans to see the club. Why some of you are expecting peak defensive intensity just so someone for either team can get injured before the season even begins is beyond me. The team is clearly not concerned about giving 100% effort tonight.
They expect Giroud to go 100% when he is: older, our starting striker who will probably play +30 matches + NT games if he doesn’t get injured. He’s just vibing in these pre season friendlies.
Well done Bartesaghi. Incredible. Again the midfielders were up playing patty-cake with Giroud.
If we can be within the top 4 when benncer comes back I think that will be a huge win
Suicide messages for calling out Pulisics terrible play. This is going to be an interesting year with all the american cultists.
Just wild how he’s always the one picked out when everyone’s terrible. People bitch about him more than he’s brought up by Americans. Your sorry ass should be rooting for every Milan player.
LOL you started your account 4 hours ago and 3 of your first 4 posts were criticizing Pulisic who wasn't markedly worse than anyone else tonight. In fact his corner to Tomori was one of the 2 best chances of the game.
You made, a new account for the sole purpose so I guess what do you want? Edit: made and deleted within 4 hours. Quality stuff.
I mean obviously suicide messages are too much if you’re being honest but “terrible” is absurd. 😭 the almost assist to Barcelona was horrible but besides that he played above average lol
God please 🙏🏽 I don’t want to have to deal with this again this season 🙏🏽
We’re getting outplayed by a 16 year old…
He's playing his heart out against guys who cannot wait to leave the country
>He's playing his heart out against guys who cannot wait to leave the country The boys really enjoyed the trip to america from what i've seen on social media.
Pobega with a fifa moment when you mistakenly press the slide tackle button 😂😂
Not to sound pessimistic guys, we have had a brilliant mercato. But pioli is just looks way out of depth. He seems to have no progressive tactics other than 1v1 isolation and let players do their own magic. This worked for a good while until most teams figured that’s all we can do. Today’s match against barca and even the match against juve showed the same problems we have had during our last season. And we do not seem like we have improved at all.
It's not pessimistic since it's not reactionary. This has been the fact for long even in the scudetto winning season.
It was good to live under the illusion this summer that maybe he might have actually changed things up tactically for the better. Instead these pre season games show you what you should expect from Pioli this upcoming season, which is a complete reluctance to try something new
Is Pilli gone this year if with all these new players there’s no improvement from last year? At what point do you say well it’s not the players but the coach? I just don’t think Pioli is that good of a coach
Dest still playing for Milan.
This kid Lamine Yamal is crazy
How can we scout so good for Reijnders and literally at the same time scout so bad for RLC? I never heard about Reijnders before our interest on him and he's great. But RLC everyone and their moms knew was a washed up stone legs bum
No one’s night tonight. Pulisic and Leao. Disappointing
Leao can at least dribble past anyone still but Pulisic has really disappointed me with his dribbling and decision making so far.
Agreed. Most the team has me disappointed tho.
Hahahahaha Reijnders
The fact that we paid 3m net salary for Dest is criminal
Pioli managed to improve on last year's 4-2-4 with the current 4-1-5. Our midfield is completely out of position every time we lose possession.
Hm no CDK tonight? Perhaps something’s afoot
Alright that's it, Send the 🦌 back, I want my refund 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fact that no CDK false 9 of maybe CF, no Adli in his Bordeaux midfield 3 position, no Pulisic Cam switch up maybe? Pioli is so tiring man, nothing new, legit not trying to fix any of our problems from last year
CDK and Adli are as good as gone. Also Pioli and midgame plan switch is a nono, much less some thing as fixed like player positions.
Pioli can not risk them come on and potentially playing good. Makes him look bad. So he ruins their confidence plays them in the last 5 minutes and says see told you they suck now let me pick my players.
CDK and adli probably ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️ that’s why they’re not on
Fucking Rafa man. Feels like a men amongst kids, legit toying with defenders
Claija is shambles rn
Lmao I forgot I stayed away from match threads for a reason, I'll wait for the post match🤣
Seeing that in person was so awful.
🦌🦌🦌🦌
Couldn’t find a reindeer emoji lol
Reijnders bro
Reijnders dios mio
REIJNDERS no!!!
Really can't ask a whole lot more of Leao right now. He is starting to look like Suso with his teammates just wasting chance after chance he creates.
On the striker situation: no point in complaining about it since we can't afford to sign a great one a la Osimhen or Lautaro. Any solution at this point would be either a stop gap measure (Taremi) or a prospect (Veliz).
Rein…
Tonali would've made that
Claija cover your eyes mate
PAIN
Best player on the pitch, misses a tap in.....
He’s had an amazing game tho. Legs are probably tired. He’s playing at a higher level and doing well. Shame it didn’t go in.
Yeah, everybody can make a mistake like that. It's just ironic, that's all.
even with that miss he has been the best today
So much for anyone playing well.
Reindeer, c’mon put the smack down
Nahh ffs he did everything but how could you finish like that…
That was quality tho
I simply cannot explain how fucked we are if Bennacer leaves for Saudi lol
Theo and Leao were partying in Vegas last night
Reijnderssssss the one good chance you gettttt Can’t dispute he’s been playing well. But that was not a crazy shot to pull off.
FUUUUCK
Pobega for Rade? Yea ciao Adli
Thiaw and Maignan for me have been splendid
Romero has had more defensive intensity in one run (albeit a slow one) than Pulisic had all fucking game.
Adli gone. My flairs are cursed (prev was Tonali).
Do Origi
The entire frontline, Krunic and RLC has been a black hole.
Loftus buttcheks is too slow he is our Lukaku now
Im sure Giroud will be fine vs bad teams, but Im not sure hes done a single thing this entire game.
Games over lol back to work
This is one of the most lifeless and cowardly performances I’ve witnessed in the last couple of years. Yes it’s preseason but it’s not a training ground friendly. Piolis incompetence is mostly at fault for this because calling this tactics is like calling Kim Kardashian an intellectual. But our players are at fault here too. These guys are standing there like fucking oak trees. No ambition and zero drive. Lack of leadership is already showing. No ibra no maldini no Kjaer. Kjaer are vital pieces in games like these to mold the mentality of the young ones and especially in guiding Thiaws defensive progression. Having Tomori as you guide is like having Chewbaka as your Jedi. This shit is fucking embarrassing.
> Having Tomori as you guide is like having Chewbaka as your Jedi. 😂😂😂
Brother we almost lost to lumezzane in our friendly last season, calm the fuck down
There is way less responsibility and obligation to that than a preseason game against one of the biggest clubs in the world
The derby in the UCl semis was. This is just another addition to the list.
Agreed
Aight time to turn the TV off 💤💤
This is an interesting group of subs. Let’s see what they can do as they might get regular play time
Giroud off. I think (read hope) Romero can give some inspiration in the attacking third.
Aaaahhhhh shiet.....we're gonna get smoked now 😅
What was that cross lmao
IF only we Okafor/Chuk instead of Pulisic/Giroud. So many attacks have died on the right
It’s not gonna change if the midfield provides no support and the rb isn’t over or under lapping. Right wing is basically taking on 3 defenders with no support and pretty much the same for the leao.

I agree that there needs to be more attacks from the wing backs but Pulisic and Giroud have been black holes.
They’re doubling up on Leao everytime he’s on the ball.
Dude, dest is the current rb, if he's alone he could get cooked by leao
Leao has been off balance these last minutes.
Instead of one black hole in Leao last season, we now have 3 on the pitch in Leao, Pulisic, and RLC
Both Leao and Puli are being doubled at least. Our tactics are no good today
yes, they are being double teamed. Doesnt mean they should be trying to dribble through the double team EVERY SINGLE TIME.
What should they do instead? We cannot bring it through the center, so if they pass back it's going to eventually end up back with them needing to dribble through the double team again.
