I dont think in my 40yrs as a milan fan, ive ever watched us win a match and felt so depressed, we have no leader on or off the field… Did you see giroud face after the game, even tijjani face showed it…that Disappointed look… its clear we are winning on individual plays not on team tactics….
Whoever talks about Pulisic stealing the goal probably has never been a fan long enough to know what stealing really is: Tomasson stealing the winning goal at 91' from Inzaghi against Ajax in the Champions League quarter final. The statistics says Tomasson, for all the Ac Milan fan that goal has been scored by our Pippo. That year we won the Champions therefore let's hope that this stealing goal will bring the same luck!
We have to be honest if they passed the ball more on that side where Pulisic is, his numbers and contribution would be some of the best in the game.world game, ,if he dedicated himself only to wait for the ball to reach him, his legs would be as fresh as Leão , Now imagine what fresh legs would do, Pulisic is capable of taking down any defense . But he puts in his effort to cover the defense in a way that makes his contribution very important. I love Leão. I think that the two can easily be complemented with a coach who knows how to use them, Pulisic's intelligence w is above in my opinion. And Fuerza Milan ! Pa lante !
Great Breakdown Kush
its the complete inability to pass the ball with any speed when we have a man advantage that leads us to looking stale and without ideas. Rafa only managed to push forward with his run for the 4th because Slava left space behind the line. We cant create that space ourselves by switching the play due to the pedestrian pace of the defence and midfield in possession. Pioli should be screaming from the touchline to sort this out, but he just stands there mute.
thats the reason i thought it was a bad idea to sell tonali he's a great cdm and a cm he's quick got good defensive ablities he can attack finish and can do ewerything he kinda remind me of gattuso i hope we bring him back
Lets go!!
Got to tell you you’re wrong about the Pulisic fans getting mad if late tapped in a Pulisic ball. Looks like you’re being biased man.
No faith at Pioli after these wins.. exactly because of what you mentioned… If we lost to a better team or an equal team, the blame might not have been this big. We got two lucky wins in my opinion when the opponents were man/men down… These were just banter era games all over again… If Pioli is not fighting for his seat now, why bother??? I have no faith at all on the away game..
I thought there would be an at least callout for Gabbia as well, although his ineffectiveness has been mentioned… His mistakes also granted Slavia Praha two more goals in the first half…
It’s tough to look good when the defense sucks
Giroud saw that Pulisic tap in and got a tear in his eye it was a true poachers goal
Pulisic score, Leao assist. Leao assist, Pulisic scores, WHO CARES WE WON.
I just KNOW Pulisic and Leao are laughing about the “we don’t like each other” rumors.
100% agree with you Kush!Thank you for the videos!A big hug from Hungary!
Lol what a headline, I know USMNT fans are overprotective with Puli but with loaded headlines like this it's clearly just baiting them.
Pulisic did not steal that goal. He busted his butt to get to that position to get there to flick it in the goal. It may have been saved by the keeper and really as he’s sliding and just trying to be in the right position is he really going to think or even have time to think, “I’m going to intentionally take this goal selfishly from him and take this goal from myself.” No, he was actually being a hardworking teammate ensuring that his team would win. And then after he scored he immediately goes and congratulated his teammate. He doesn’t celebrate his own touch into the goal. Stop saying he stole it. They both had a magic moment in creating that goal.
07:06 did you really say Jeremy Doku is top? 😂 cmon bro
Pulisic is a pos stealing goals. What a loser!!!!😂 guess the title worked
Pulisic needs to bring a wallet for all the red cards hes giving out
CP absolutely had to take the sure outcome, he would have been vilified had the ball not been on target or defended.
The only stat that matters in a WIN for Milan. Football is a team sport, we don’t want players that prioritize individual objectives.
Forza Milan!
Totally agree on what you said about Piloi. It was absolutely frustrating to watch yesterday's game. It did not feel like a win.
I reckon your argument about Adli is slightly flawed for a reason. Yes, if we take into account stats we might say hes being quite crappy often, but it's hard to actually do anything playmaking style when the team is in shambles. There is no midfield and no movement in front. Games like yesterday where leao and theo get blocked, Adli had very little to move the ball forward to. In short, Adli can't show his quality when the team is not moving the way it should.
Tijani actually hit the target. It's a miracle. If that can happen we're winning the Scudetto and Europa league. I'm placing my bets now. 😂😂
Adli is not suited as a b2b CM or as CAM for a big team. (In the right club and maybe league he could become a club legend at CAM, but not a Milan level) That only leaves DM to be honest, either he makes that work or he needs to go.
I 100% back Pioli. I think that what he has done with the players he was given to work with was legendary.. that and all the injuries hes had to deal with and we are still 3rd in Serie A? I think hes overly criticised. If he had more quality players to use i think we would be doing amazing things.
This said i am not against a new coach arriving, but he needs to be backed by silverware and lots of it. If not we are going to remain the same or get even worse!
I do not see Milan winning anything with players like Adli, Musah, Bennacer, Chukuweze, Kalulu.. call them talented and still young etc thats fine but the truth is they are just not of the quality thats needed to compete in Italy let alone the Champions League.
9:13 bro nobody should take those guys serious 😂 good that you brought that up
Leao touched the ball a total of 26 times and had 16 passes. This is our best player with well over a half playing with a RED card. That’s not attacking Leao it’s absolutely on the Pioli tactics and the inability of our midfield to drive the ball forward. Talked about it last week and it was just as evident this game. It’s sad how many times the ball went around the back horseshoe.
As an American I agree that they would be mad if Rafa “stole the goal” but no one who supports AC Milan should be mad at a player guaranteeing a result. Result> Individual stats. If Rafa “steals” all of Pulisic’s goals the rest of the year I wouldn’t even care. Assists also show up on the stat sheet so I don’t see the issue anyway.
Perfect analysis for me. I just want to add is that LAST season should have been Pioli's last. Finishing 5th was completely unacceptable but he got lucky because of Juve's point deduction.
Some fans point out that we are 3rd in Serie A and advancing in the EL. But these "achievements" don't even meet the minimum requirements. We need to be challenging for the Scudetto, not languishing ~20 points behind Inter (by the end of the season). We also should have finished 2nd in our CL group. We even crashed out of the Coppa early on. The only way this season wouldn't be a failure is if we were to win the EL, but considering Liverpool and Leverkusen are in it, our chances are about 0.
Puli-SICK, not Puli-SICH. It's not that hard.
Your thumb nails and video titles are clear indication you are eating up this American tension. You rack up more and more views and money in the end.
McKennnie had a goal “stolen” by Vlahović (no defenders on the line for that one btw) and there wasn’t an out roar. The out roar comes from protecting Pulisic from criticism, when other players wouldn’t get the same criticism. It’s probably from the Chelsea days tbf.
I don’t think neither Leao nor Pulisic have a fuck who scored. Pretty sure they only cared about having a two goal cushion going into to the return leg
I agree with you, Kush. The goal is a team effort. I also think the defender could have cleared the ball and then people would have blamed Pulisc for not dling the effort. Similar play when giroud s shot against Udinese hit the cross bar and while it looked like it was going in, Jovic made sure that was the case.
Is pioli last season🎉
