This was your best video. You hit everything on the head.
I was very hopeful yesterday before the start of the match to see what these subs could do given the chance to start against a mid table team and glad to see players like Giroud and Pulisic given rest time. It soon became clear pioli was gonna be forced to put the big boys back in there to try to rescue the situation. Milan can barely put one very good team together to play 90 minutes while Inter can comfortably field two strong squads. We’re similar to smaller clubs like Lazio which lack depth.
giroud was supposed to be rested this whole game and now he had to play more minutes this game because of jovic he's played so much at his age
As much as how bad Adli was yesterday, but let’s not forget he is playing out of position! Also he needs to play faster, the slows the pace of the game.
Pulisic and Giroud were literally on 🔥
Thanks for the video! Game was very hard to watch today. I have a few questions for you/opinions.
1. I feel like Musah maybe deserved a chance to start today over Adli. Lately he has brought a lot of spark off the bench in the little time he has gotten. What do you think?
2. Gabbia has been excellent so far for us. Do you think when Tomori gets back he can be a legitimate long term starting center back partner? If he continues to play the way he has and continue the rest of the season I think he has earned a role over Thaiw at least. Honestly I have never been impressed with Thiaw.
3. Completely agree with your take on Oli and Jovic. Oli starter, Jovic off the bench. It seems like Okafor hasn’t gotten much time at the striker spot lately and has been more of a Leao replacement. Would you want to see him play the striker more and maybe open up more in behind runs than Oli can offer?
4. One thing I do blame Pioli for this match is subbing on Leao. If Leao isn’t fit, why put him on? Especially when Okafor was actually looking okay on the wing? Seems like a poor decision. To me either Pioli shouldn’t have put Leao on or Leao had a poor performance. Also, I am curious how much input you have as a player to say I’m not fit to go in, but maybe that should’ve been what Leao did today. 🤷🏼♂️ Interested in your thoughts!
At this point we all should just band together and see the season out. Once we get a new coach they can make roster decisions and we'll go from there but we can't fire pioli at this point so we will be frustrated like this here and again until the summer. We can just hope that our best players continue to grow and we try to win Europa. Pulisic had to go closer to goal bc of the context and he dictated play and was often a few steps ahead of his own teammates. He often makes those runs but this time he yelled and demanded the ball. He took that game over, he will be crucial next season.
I screamed in joy at Pulisic when he scored, and I screamed in anger when Monza scored TWICE IN EXTRA TIME
It’s always the defense messing it up
Guess leao has had a “calf strain” most of the season with him walking 90% of the time he is on the pitch lol
1:20 Thiaw said “wanna see me do it again?” 🤦♂️
Great analysis! Is Thiaw at age 22 more prone to mental lapses than Simic at age 18? Simic oozes confidence. He can be a beast by age 22 if given opportunities!
Pulisic was untethered and full of confidence. He played with heart, belief, emotion and instinct. I love that he demanded the ball on the assist. Love how he scores an absolute golazo and then immediately wants to get back at it, not looking for congratulations. If Leao's trademark look is a smile, Pulisic's is a scowl. When he plays with anger and emotion like that, it's on!
Gabbia can be a true leader on this team. When Leao lost the ball on a poor attempt to drop it to Theo, forcing Gabbia to take a yellow, Gabbia let him know. Holding the superstars accountable is a sign of strong leadership.
I think you forgot to talk about musahs performance it was great!
oh shit our next game is against our second owner atlanta we def gonna lose
Olivier Giroud is a beast! I have not given him enough credit lately, but he’s an exceptional striker, and is so important to Milan. My heart goes out to Leao, Giroud, and Pulisic. To put in that kind of effort, just to fall short in the end, has to feel terrible. The defense and certain players let the team down today. This one hurts!
Pulisic On point. , and you can tell that he was missing the first half cus the defense job he provided to the team , but nobody see that in the game . He is so unselfish player. He work for the team no for himself. That way he pass the ball ⚽️ all the time is world class.
Your reaction to Christian’s goal gave me goosebumps. Makes me want to run through a brick wall.
Adli had been playing decently lately but in this match he was definitely horrible.
I think you went too soft on Chukweze, besides that play that your mentioned he did nothing and lost the ball multiple times. And to add to this, the criticsim towards him I would say is not entirely based on this match, it's an accumulation of the entire season where he's been really disappointing.
Okafor was equally horrible yesterday, he and Jovic might be fine as substitutes but as starters definitely not.
On the matter of Jovic, yeah he is a decent poacher, but you can see from miles away that when he is on the ball he has no skill, Giroud is ten times better.
At the end of the day we want to see all these mentioned players do well of course, but we are AC Milan why do we even have these low quality players on the squad to begin with??
It's Sunday League after you had a few pints in you pub style defending by Thiaw! The Inter fans are rolling like pigs in the mud happy as hell!!! Ahaha!!
I don't know. I feel like this can be the coach's fault and the players' fault…..
i do kinda feel maignan form has dropped alot like this year he has
played 9 games:
13 goals conceaded
5 penalty conceaded: (0 saved)
And he have done some msitakes like that one against bologna frosinoe and today
Analysis spot on as usual!
They let down their coach, whos already under pressure… Poor display from two players .. Thus game was to put us 2nd
I think we cut thiaw a break he got called up to Germany because of his performances with us we’ve seen flashes of genius and when you consider how young he is you have to give these kids a chance to make mistakes and keep playing I understand he’s a defender and a mistake from him could end up in a goal whereas if leao makes a mistake he still has 2 ranks of players to recover the ball
11:59 / 12:22. I also think that we can try Okafor in that position🤔
When Pioli made that change with Musah for Florenzi that’s when the match went to the dirt. Musah was not playing in any position, and that 3rd goal came from that flank, why did he make that change??? It’s not even Musah’s fault, that’s not his role, no one even understood his role, why not terraciano or Jimenez? This is ALSO PIOLI’s fault, not just his fault, but he must be getting a red box too.
The whole team is just not really better than the current level, which to be fair in relation to time and money invested is not even a problem since we are overachieving compared to our squad cost etc. I feel like a lot of fans are too ambitious, there is not going to be a next level until we secure a jump in revenue with a new stadium.
If Ac Milan want to win trophies they need a quality defensive line
How do ppl blame coaches beyond me 😂
7:15 Your best goal reaction so far.
I still blame Pioli he puts a weak team when the 2nd place is on the line, if Thiaw wasn't fit still why play him, he wanted to rest the attacking players meanwhile they had to pur double the effort negating any rest they could of gotten, why not play the youth to see if they can make a name for themselves if this Monza team was that weak
All spot on. To be fair that would have been pulsiics 5th game winner or results getter and Leao still hasn’t scored a league goal since September. But this isn’t about Leao lol he played well last game. Pulisic has done that shot and hit the crossbar 3 times this season. Mind you this is with his weak foot. And it’s more than the shot. It’s how much harder, more than you could fathom to have the sheer confidence leap has to take on defender week after week then attempt a curled shot perfectly from for top bins. Now do that with your non dominant foot every week or the media or fans will say ya what, your need to score goalazos each week or we’re gonna ask why aren’t you playing more like Leao. Plot twist, 25 year old American who was a Chelsea “flop” has more than double the ballon dors goals in league and the same
GA over all
Comps in just 45
More minutes played. Repeat it will me. “From his weak
Foot
Side” so I realize you green boxed him. But don’t make it a backhanded green box. He have a GA for 5
Games. The message should be what would would this seasons standing look like without Christian. Milan’s in 8th or 9th
I'm a huge AC Milan fan from southern Italy
I love the fact that you are:
1. Huge AC Milan fan just like me.
2. American and knowledgeable about football.
P.S. I don't care who but either the democrats or the GOP nominee for 2024 should be Christian Pulisic.
I want to see Pulisic rule the country.
Best right winger we had in a very long time.
I don’t know but this game gave me a vibe of a fixed match just looking at how Mike Maignan was jumping after each goals gave me that impression
Kush, right on with Pioli, however, the amount of rotation nakes no sense. Qe all know that a couple of changes are good to start, resolve the game in the first half and then make the substitutions. PIOLI CONTINUES TO MESS UP doing thw opposite. We know it is suicide we were down 2-0. And yes, the players who started did not help… also what is wrong to play okafor as a 9. We knkmow jovic is nothing without Giroud
Why is it that half ever game I miss of Ac Milan, Pulisic scores?
You are absolutely correct on everything. Admittedly Pulisic is my favorite player, being American myself. However I have been a Milan fan since 2002 and all I want is to stop having a heart attack every game we play. I hope Chuk gets better, I understand he was playing while gone, but he didn’t play any better or worse than usual. He has not changed since the season started. Giroud and Pulisic play with passion some other players play for their own glory.
Okay but Pioli played that disastrous rotation right? And Thiaw is just coming back, he is absolutely out of form (tho still inexcusable play)
I dont understand why the player that starts the provocation gets punished , i dont blame Jovic a tiny bit something needs to change to where the provoker needs to be punished not the provoked player total bullsh*t
