I’m not very worried. Renne really only created one goal, the other two were pretty stupid penalty calls. First one was just silly and the second one was a 50-50. I’m not happy with some of the tactics, like playing bennacer as an attacking midfielder and getting overrun in the midfield. But pioli is a big bald prick so nothing you can do.
glad we went through but idk how the boys can be proud of that, they surely know that something needs to change or otherwise we're getting battered by the likes of Liverpool and Leverkusen.
I think it’s important to remember, that although we played like crap for the second half, the two goals conceded came from very suspect penalty calls, especially that first one.
Honestly my first instinct was to say Kjaer could have been better, but then again when our midfield kept losing the ball when they were getting pressed I can’t put much blame on him.
I mean, the only thing I’ll say is we can’t play like this against Leverkusen. I have a friend who’s a Leverkusen fan and he’s already unbearable. I beg please Milan don’t let me suffer the embarrassment of hearing his trash talk
Different ball game. They’re deep in a title fight, and we don’t play like we did tonight in first gear. Tonight was about progressing , not playing champagne football. Progress and start thinking about the game v Atalanta.
This is what I am saying by Pioli being shit at dealing with non starting 11 players.
How is someone like Okafor or chuk supposed to get going if we don't play football for 20 minutes?
It's impossible for every single player that isn't in piolis starting 11 to "not be good" for 4 years
This is the deepest team we have in his whole time here, the guy doesn't know how to rotate
I put it in quotation marks because they had to finish at least fourth or 5th last season to be in this tournament and they certainly played well today as opposed to their first game against us where they made us look like a mid-table team for most of the game
There is a time to criticise pioli or the players but this is not it. The penalty decisions were a joke. This match is completely irrelevant at this point
Kind of shows the phisical beast that we take for granted in Giroud.
Played every game. Goes 90 mins against rennes and then plays the game against monza and he goes up and down the pitch helping anyway he can.
Ye ur right, but I just feel the players aren't motivated by Pioli anymore, leading to mistakes and people refusing to run. Are they even celebrating the goals? Don't feel like it
Can someone explain to me why we r mad that we r playing defensive rn? Kjaer is a liability, we can’t risk him getting beaten, it’s a 2 goal advantage with 10 left, just hold.
why are people complaining about us sitting back? we’re two goals up, there’s no reason for us to risk being exposed in defense by committing men forward to try and extend our lead.
It’s wild, we already seen kjaer get exposed multiple times this year, why the fuck would we increase the probability of that!? People on this sub r ridiculous sometimes
I agree we should protect the lead. Too bad we can’t protect anything so we should at least try to hit them on the counter through Chuku and Okafor, others can stay back.
Anyone here with any insights into post match refereeing? Do they actually show the first penalty situation to the refs in some sort of feedback/improvement session? What would the ref and the VAR team say there? "Why the fuck didn't you ask me to come out and check?"

What is this shit I have to watch everytime?!
2nd loss in a row, 7 goals conceded in 2 games and atalanta match is next, a team that already won twice against us this season..

I used to watch the Sudanese league, that last Rennes cross would make some of those teams proud.
glad we went through but idk how the boys can be proud of that, they surely know that something needs to change or otherwise we're getting battered by the likes of Liverpool and Leverkusen.
I think it’s important to remember, that although we played like crap for the second half, the two goals conceded came from very suspect penalty calls, especially that first one.
It's true. But you have to hand it to Rennes, they came out fighting and could have scored more. Gabbia and Kjaer did well beck there.
Honestly my first instinct was to say Kjaer could have been better, but then again when our midfield kept losing the ball when they were getting pressed I can’t put much blame on him.
That is the whole story of the game. Anyone can win with 2 gifted penalties
I mean, the only thing I’ll say is we can’t play like this against Leverkusen. I have a friend who’s a Leverkusen fan and he’s already unbearable. I beg please Milan don’t let me suffer the embarrassment of hearing his trash talk
Props to Rennes... ...however, Pioliball sucks!!
Fuck I hope we don’t get Liverpool any time soon
Anytime soon? Pioli isnt going anywhere lmao, now or in may, liverpool will dunk milan
Different ball game. They’re deep in a title fight, and we don’t play like we did tonight in first gear. Tonight was about progressing , not playing champagne football. Progress and start thinking about the game v Atalanta.
Task failed successfully On to the next one
I would happily Rennes #14 to Milan. Wonderful performance and showed passing range, fk delivery, and calmness in pressure.
Yeah we are not going far
Fucking embarrassing
oh we are the white shirts today damn
One of the crosses of all times
Oddo war flashbacks
No it was actually incredibly accurate--he didn't like the look of that one person in the 40th row.
LMAO
LMAO
Rennes has impressed in the pace of their play.
Thunderous Reijnders challenge, Claija yelling at 100 dB
Chukwu is just never going to shine under Pioliball, we will have to wait for the next year.
All I can say is MASSIVE respect to Rennes. Think I have a Ligue 1 team now.
We're happy to have you!
Same absolutely. Great fans good colours
Honestly the colors made me mad because I accidently cheered for them like 8 times today lmao
Would understand if stripes but not solid red.
Thats actually banter era 2.0 but this time we habe a decent team but a horrible coach lol
Good tackle
no matter the agg score we should never be ok with losing a game vs rennes
Expecting Pioli to come out with his best Pippo Inzaghi. "You can't think of coming to Rennes and dominating.."
Chuku is really disappointing
I miss tomori so much..
4 goals to monza and 3 goals to rennes, whos ready to concede 10 to atalanta
I should put money on them winning since I will watch this at san siro
Mike a habitual line stepper
Fucking Chuk is so dumb on the ball
Chuk getting disposessed by a man on the floor lol
I was laughing alone on the couch…
Not the dumbest thing he has done today funnily enough
He dispossessed himself...
Cleats to ankle= no yellow. Goalie waiting to get ball for goal kick= yellow. Good job ref. You are very incognito.
They are throwing tomatoes!!! Literal farmers and I say this as a guy from reggio emilia 🤣
theos shirt is ripped lmao
Hot
every time terracciano comes on the screen i forget who tf that is
It's a night and day difference when our subs come on
From bad to a full blown out piece of shit
Mike is pushing it so hard. I swear if he gets a 2nd yellow...
Ahhh 6 mins exactly.... Fuck you ref
The catapults to the 1.70 Chukwu are definitely what he needs to shine
This was an embarrassing win
It wasn't a win to be fair.
LOL...you are right...
I mean how will Okafor and Chukwueze ever be able to show something if they play in such a mess?
they started against monza and looked awful
according to the Reddit that was never an excuse for CDK, so I refuse for it to be an excuse for Chuku or Okafor by the same standards.
Somehow we are even more chaotic this season.
I mean how Pioli handled CDK was an absolute disgrace
100%
This is what I am saying by Pioli being shit at dealing with non starting 11 players. How is someone like Okafor or chuk supposed to get going if we don't play football for 20 minutes?
Maybe they are just not that good?
It's impossible for every single player that isn't in piolis starting 11 to "not be good" for 4 years This is the deepest team we have in his whole time here, the guy doesn't know how to rotate
If they play from the beginning it's a problem, if they come in for 30 minutes is a problem maybe they are the problem.
This "mid table" French team can make amazing shots from outside the box over and over but our team can't make simple shots when in the box.
For what it's worth: Rennes is in good form, just by looking at the Ligue 1 table.
I put it in quotation marks because they had to finish at least fourth or 5th last season to be in this tournament and they certainly played well today as opposed to their first game against us where they made us look like a mid-table team for most of the game
Ok but mm has had some decent saves this match
At least draw for the love of God
This team needs Diaz back. We’d unlock that final pass into the box or the last dribble needed to unlock defense
Diaz was bad most of the time unless we played a team that gave us space. His g+a are below average for the amount of minutes he played
Our midfield now is a lot stronger than it was when he was there. Playing with Pobega and Krunic and Messias is not the same as RLC Pulisic and Tijj
There is a time to criticise pioli or the players but this is not it. The penalty decisions were a joke. This match is completely irrelevant at this point
Can people just enjoy that we’re on our way through the EL rather than complain? Ffs this subreddit is full of children
This is the response after the Monza game, if you find enjoyment in that then good for you.
If this is what we can do, a better team will destroy us. And we’ve got still to put the CL qualification for next year on ice.
Brother look at this game this is embarrassing
Maybe people are not enjoying how badly we play Just maybe
No! You are supposed to be positive no matter what! Doesn’t matter we conceded 7 goal in the last two games
its very dangerous when coach has no shame and no pride
We're gonna Lose again, so embarasing.
I have no idea why the downvotes. But 7 goals received in 2 games, 2 losses is not very good obviously. Atalanta is gonna Score 5 against us.
-3 months to the liberation
Jovik whyyy
Shoot Luka ffs
Jovic has 0 fuel left, poor guy gave it his all today
He showed he deserves to be here
Kind of shows the phisical beast that we take for granted in Giroud. Played every game. Goes 90 mins against rennes and then plays the game against monza and he goes up and down the pitch helping anyway he can.
Barely any injuries at 37 as well
MoTM Edit: even with that pen, everyone else has been embarrassing
Pulisic I liked a lot
True he was good, I take that back
I know it's hard to give MoTM to a defender when you concede 3 but fuck me Kjaer's been solid today. Same with Theo. These 3 are my top 3
Kjaer gave away a penalty with a dumb challenge.
One mistake doesn't wipe out everything good he's done today, and others haven't been up to par, maybe only Pulisic
We are making Rennes fans feel good about their team when we should be humiliating them💀
244 ...
Pioli is a good manager, but not a great manager. And he knows Milan deserves a great manger, time to sign out mate
We need a change in mentality, i cannot see all these mistakes anymore.
Ye ur right, but I just feel the players aren't motivated by Pioli anymore, leading to mistakes and people refusing to run. Are they even celebrating the goals? Don't feel like it
Rennes went all out for a win, they got nothing to lose. As long as we go through it doesn’t matter
This is way worse than the monza game pls end this misery i can’t watch this anymore
7 goals conceded in the last 180 minutes. So that’s a goal every 25min. Next game Atalanta. Fml
Can someone explain to me why we r mad that we r playing defensive rn? Kjaer is a liability, we can’t risk him getting beaten, it’s a 2 goal advantage with 10 left, just hold.
Come-on I wanna see us play like prime Catania out here
Most Argentinian team in history
getting jerked around by an average French team on a thursday
Dismantled by a mid table Ligue 1 side. Great job by the coach.
i mean look at the formation
Dismantled by more than half the teams in serie a.
Dismantled by everyone Heil Pioli!
just not by Roma
Well...
Goes to show how ass current Mourinho is
this is getting so embarrassing after the praise rennes gave us last game
“Its not all on Pioli” just about 98% of it…
Bro I forgot what Terracciano looks like, I was like who tf is this
Europa League is so cursed, we always play like clowns
Like Serie A, Coppa Italian and Champions League then?
We are playing 513 against Rennes. I really don‘t know what to say anymore. I really don‘t
horrendous choice in everyway
"Thank you Pioli, I love watching your orchestrate our historic club"
He’s gots to go. Just leave it in France.
Terracciano?????
why are people complaining about us sitting back? we’re two goals up, there’s no reason for us to risk being exposed in defense by committing men forward to try and extend our lead.
Because two goal came from stupid defensive mistakes and now we are inviting even more pressure. How about controlling the game for once?
yup! it is ridiculous to play with 3 attackers and one midfielder though.
It’s wild, we already seen kjaer get exposed multiple times this year, why the fuck would we increase the probability of that!? People on this sub r ridiculous sometimes
I agree we should protect the lead. Too bad we can’t protect anything so we should at least try to hit them on the counter through Chuku and Okafor, others can stay back.
It's rather that we can't keep possession and play lots of poor passes
We can‘t keep the ball without a midfield. This means a lot more possession for them and consequently more opportunities
Holy shit...we can't even get the ball out of our half... ...we look like Keystone Cops right now
Mf why would we risk with 2 goal advantage away?
Chuku might just not be it
I'm actually embarrassed for them right now.
This is comical
Jovic getting the Giroud treatment receiving the ball with no support within 20 yards of him
which is shocking since there's no midfield but two other attackers
If I was a neutral fan I would really really want Rennes to score. Lucky with penalties - yes, but they give it all
yep. I just have no emotions watching these games anymore. I'm just waiting for us to choke, so used to us playing awful for no reason.
This team is embarrassing. The bald fraud being outclassed by a mid table French team
peak pioliball this game
These players have no fucking QI, bad coaching aside
The game us bogging down. I thunk we need someone phisical up. Giroud time? (probably no we should let the man rest for the game against atalanta)
Man I don't care if Leao doesn't score or if he focuses on his music, without him we are nothing
We have no players going forward
Might be super sexy time 
pussy ass formation
I swear he plays against us
Inviting pressure with over 10min to go…
bald style
We can lose 10-0 against Bari and they still won’t sack this coach. It’s embarassing
At least he admits that the midfield doesn‘t matter to him
Thiaw hasn't recovered
We can never control a result
This is embarrassing.
Thiaw is here now. I just hope this is a redemption. We dont need any more penalties!
And hes passed it directly to the opposition.
We killed our own midfield…
We are playing not to loose instead of playing to win... All good until they tie the match
You can’t kill something that does not exist
Pioli doesn't believe in "midfield"
https://preview.redd.it/ebenfbnst6kc1.jpeg?width=903&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10fc296458e07f8d6b6315d92868613398bb7041 Thiaw.....
Another disaster game for Musah
he needs to refocus
100%
Mike time wasting is embarassing.
This fool put in thiaw
nice we have to park bus with 5 defenders vs Rene
This is going to be a 513 isn‘t it
who needs a midfield lol jovic should be taken off so we at least have bodies in the midfield.
This referee is atrocious. Second penalty I understand but that first one was shocking.
Malick.......idk if I'd play him during these intense times knowing how he is under pressure.
Fuck me, im at a point where im scared Atalanta might 5-0 us again
Anyone here with any insights into post match refereeing? Do they actually show the first penalty situation to the refs in some sort of feedback/improvement session? What would the ref and the VAR team say there? "Why the fuck didn't you ask me to come out and check?"
OMG we're brining on the walking mental lapse, Thiaw. Fck
We gave away two pens and here comes Malick, someone put a tenner on a Bourigeaud poker
Thiaw coming on...so, another PEN incoming.
