To your last question. Pioli s tactics is not too good enough for me the players hardly hold possession and change positions in the opponents half which naturally gives opening for a run behind a defense. We should try another coach
being able to play Chuku on the right and Puli in the middle adds flexibility to the team.. Puli adds creativity and long range shot where Ruben adds physicality ..
Against high press teams I think Pulisic should start at the 10… against low block teams RLC can start at the 10
Adli had a great game vs lecce yes . Stats for Yacine. Passes ; 110/120 (92 %) – 17 into the final third !!. 2 assists . World class today . If only he could work on aggression in 1on1 defensive duals
I donāt know about Pioli.
As you said multiple times, it feels like he has already peeked.
I understand what you are saying about the injuries and all, but isnāt it part of his responsibility as well?
I know it would be questionable to fire him now after what will be a good season, regardless of where we land in EL, but sooner or later, we will need to step up on the coaching side as well.
To be a top team, we need a top-tier manager, and if we donāt win the EL, it will be an excellent chance to change leadership after two years without trophies.
Guys, this is exactly what I've been hoping to see: Pulisic at CAM and Chukuweze on the right wing in the lineup. With this formation, we really need a skilled finisher with pace and dribbling abilities. If AC can persist in trying to bring in Jonathan David and Zirkzee, I genuinely believe we'll have no trouble having one of our strikers become the top goal scorer in Serie A and perhaps even win the Golden Boot. Without a proficient finisher, we will find it challenging to instill fear in our opponents. Forza Milan
Pls donāt disrespect Pirlo like that ever again š
If milan doesnāt beat roma and inter pioli should leave
Guys all this winning it's a scam pioli has to leave is bad business
I'm not satisfied with how they defended. Lecce could have also scored 3. Were it a stronger, more clinical team, the result would have been different.
I'll wait until after the Europa League quarter final and after the Inter game to say whether or not Pioli should stay.
For us to keep that formation it means excluding RLT which we can't really do.
AC Milan mightbe more competitive with Inter next season
Adli = still too many unforced turnovers.
Agree with your analysis. Formation only against teams we feel we should beat
FFS one straight through ball and Adli is like Pirlo..?? F.O!
Pioli has the right to stay look her if we talk about since 2019 since he joined he has been runner up won the league and camed to a semifinal in the ucl for the frist time in 15 years and won the league for the first time in 11 years he deserve to stay but lates matches against inter has been a bit dodgy
10 goals in a 28 coefficient rated club in Europe and 4th-5th rated league makes Legohead Pulishit phenomenal?š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤”š¤”š¤”š¤”
I agree Pioli deserves to stay, we are now able to see snippets of what he can do with some quality signings. He won the Scudetto before and if he gets the signings he needs to fill in the gaps next season. I think Inter are going to have a difficult time with Milan come next season.
I was wrong about Chukweze he is such a quality winger, he really just needed more playing time. Its paying dividends but for the future I find it hard to see how the combo of Chukweze and Pulisic lives on unless some alterations to the team are made that leave out Ruben the majority of the time.
I think we do need a solid CDM or at least a box to box CM that has solid defensive capabilities. I think we also need to reinforce our Midfield with a creative CM/CAM I think Rejinders has the quality to become one of the best in the world within the next 2 years. Christian from Athletico Parenese in the Brasilian Serie A is 22, a box to box CM, costs 10 mil and will be one of the greatest Midfielders to grace the game. I hope we snag him before another club like Inter, Real, the prem or Barcelona swoop in for him. He is magic and his ceiling is as high as he can take it. Regardless A CDM is needed Fofana is good but I think we need someone with more footballing IQ than Fofana. Maybe Thuram or another candidate.
Lastly a defender. We need a very solid backup for Tomori or Gabbia. Lacroix would be a good addition but Bonguorno/ Calafiori would be great as well. And hopefully we sign Zirkzees but Juventus are absolutely fuming that he wants to come to Milan and are trying as many back door tricks as possible to land him. Trying to have Bayern trigger a buy back clause to do business. We have a player that Bayern wants and I doubt that Juventus will end up getting what they want even with their piss poor management and overhyped team. People have become accustomed with the Juventus of the last 7-8 years and have seemed to forget who Milan truly is.
I think youāre correct to assume Pioli will be back next season. I donāt think itās a good thing. If we want to break through and have big ambitions we need a boss with a bigger resume.
This season isnāt a success. Inter is going to get their second star and weāre way off their pace. And we were eliminated in the group stage of the champions league. Thatās disappointing.
Good comments today. Iām glad for Chuku but I think teams will adjust to him since he always cuts back inside to his left foot, he doesnāt have a right foot at all
Love to see you recognizing adliĀ“s progress, while i completely agree that his defensive capabilities are not the best ones he always showed a different creaticity when it comes to offensive passes, for me the difference was the way pioli proposed the match being more offensive and both chukweze and pulisic made the faster so when adli gave a pass the receivers were not being blocked by the defence. As for pioli its clear he picked up the pace and its finally making some good decisions but for me the only thing that could convince me he can stay another season is winning the uel, milan needs to fight for titles and scudetto season aside pioliĀ“s decision where the ones that left us without a title fight on serie a and especially on champions league
Kush analyzes football like a military personnel.
You play well, he gives you your deserved flowers. š
You play bonkers, he calls you out straight up š
Welldone bro
Pioli deserves it, you got it right!
1-He did not have the best year on year development in terms of players, very important ones in chala kessie tonali and co.
2. He had to integrate a brand new midfield.
3. He is playing without a real striker, giroud and jovic are not remotely what milan cfs should be.
4. The character and never die attitude, he always manages to get back on track, never loosing the locker room.
AC Milan got a bargain transferring price for Christian Pulisic, and you know it!
Keep him consistent top 4 performances and we are a couple players away from lifting the cup
extention is going too far
Liked the clean sheet more than anything. We need to see Chuck, Rafa and CP as an attacking line regularly. Can RLC play as a DCM? Think his primary position at Chelsea was holding mid. We are one CB, OB and #9 away from competing with anyone. At this point, who are our best 11? Forza Milan!!!
This is the Chucky we all thought we would get when we signed him. Lecce had no answer for him. Hopefully we see more performances like this. Forza Milan!
Forza Milan ā¤ ur the best Kush !
Sei un grande! Fantastico video. Bravissimo šŖ
Pulisic with 21 goal contributions. Serie A: 10g,6a, Copa Italia: 1a, Champions League: 1g, Europa League: 2g, 1a
Pioli has done well, but we should definitely move on from him. Can anyone really honestly believe Pioliball will challenge Inzaghi's Inter for Scudetto next season? Or that we'd get to top 8 in UCL?
If he stays, we'll most likely get another injury crisis during the fall just like pretty much every year under him. We'll have a few months when we grind out results playing absolutely horrible football, but in the end get to UCL without much drama, but we won't challenge for any trophies either.
If it'd be up to me, we'd need to at least get to Europa League final (probably beating Leverkusen on the way) and to have convincing performances in the remaining big games this season (Roma x2, Juve, Inter).
For the record, Pioli has always been giving Chukwueze starts. His 1st start was our 5th game of the season and his 2nd start with our 7th game of the season. In Serie A alone, in 31 matches of which Chukwueze was available for maybe 21-23 (due to injury + AFCON), he started 9. Thatās like 40%, taking into account that his competitor has been brilliant from day 1
Pioli has been giving the dude chance after chance and deserves a lot of the credit for the fruit we saw in the last two matches
Nailed it again brother. Well done. I hear your skepticism about playing the 4231 with pulisic week in week out. But really what we lacked against inter in that drubbing, and almost all the UCL games was a true CAM. And pulisic is not only our best right wing but actually his best position is as a ten and then probably on the left. Itās bc he is faster with the ball at his feet than RLC and makes split second descions better, often choosing the progressive pass as opposed to slowing the play bc he has NO WEAK foot as you can tell from his left footed striking ability. And something that is never talked about is how amazing he is at receiving the ball on the half turn and directly attacking the defenders. But he does it in a truly Eden hazard esc way. Ruben although extremely athletic and physical and smart doesnāt possess pulisics guile, spatial awareness and dribbling in tight spaces. However. RLC played as an 8, 6 and even RWB many times for Chelsea. So pair him with tijani in the back and you have a midfield that can rival many of the better ones in serie A
Where are your Pioli out videos now?
Excellent commentary. The maturity and teamwork just keep improving & it is much better from the start of the season, even with all the injuries. Agree, credit to coach as well as the players for the strides they have made as a team. Keep improving & never rest on your laurels.
Like many of the great ones, Pulisic worked on his weaknesses until they became strengths. Left foot, defense, headers, there are no chinks in his armor. Pulisic is truly a well-rounded footballer. Add in his mental prowess and he can literally play any position. Coaches know this and now fans are starting to realize.
Get Gio Reyna in that 10 role keep pulĆ on the right and your golden the way gio can find those passes and can apparently put in a good defensive game or Mckennie who apparently might leave
Amazing episode, Kush!
I mean I think the only reason why pioli opted with that front 3 was because RLC was injured so it was forced
I agree with you that Pioli will most likely be confirmed for next season after these string of results. Personally, I think we would be going in a better direction with a Motta or De Zerbi due to their progressive style of play. I do not see us catching this inter team with Pioli at the helm unless Inter have to sell some of their big names due to financial instability. Regardless, this is the best we have been playing all season long and itās been a lot more enjoyable 2024 than 2023.
Just an FYI – He informed the press when he hit the scene that he wants it pronounced "Poo -Li – Sick" no "sitch"
Youāre entirely correct about the defensive imbalance when we play with Pulisic as the 10. If the center backs are firing on all cylinders then itās less of a concern. But when we won the title we had Tomori and Kalulu having the times of their lives along with Kessie in the middle. I miss Kessie so much. We havenāt replaced him yet. If we get one player like Kessie then we will be an absolute powerhouse.
I read somewhere that pioli said he was leaving the club after this year.
Hey kush. I cant wait to heat your opinion about how useless Leao is against all the good teams while he is great agains all the trash teams. Roma fucked us well and your boy was a trash
