Week 3: Juventus vs Milan September 6th

[Codazzi]

Terracciano (186cm) is in fact 1cm taller than Tomori (185cm), but he is not a football player.

Interesting. His lack of positioning makes him look like a ghost. Why do even have him in our squad I don't know.

[Bennacer]

Horrible offensive match. Nothing worked, Moreira with possibly the worst debut i have witnessed in a Milan jersey. First match so he is forgiven, but we need to see a LOT more.

My rating: 1-10:

- Maignan: 7.
- Gila: 6,5.
- De Winter: 7.
- Pavlovic: 6,5.
- Musah: 6.
- Modric: 6,5.
- Moreira: 4,5.
- Estupinan: 5,5.
- Rabiot: 5.
- Saelemakers: 5
- Ramos: 5,5.

Subs:

- Cisse: 6,5.
- RLC: 4,5.
- Chukwueze: 6.
- Terraciano: Not enough time, but of course horrible.
- Jashari: Not enough time

We are unlucky that Gila was off. We conceded the FK in his area and then RLC decided to gift Gatti a free header. Even if he contested it just a little, Gatti may have headed the ball to the bar. Mike Maignan had absolutely no chance.

Rabiot and Moreira didn't do well but I still don't get why RLC was subbed on. He was completely useless on either end and couldn't use his big build for anything positive.

The draw was fair and in fact even lucky, but it is a shame that all we had to do is to hang on for a few minutes. I hope that Gila is all right otherwise we would totally get screwed.

Its rather concerning that Gila cannot play 90 mins. Unsure if match fitness or other issues. 

RLC is hopeless. Should have been booted out years ago.

So our first points dropped is at least indirectly because of a summer move we didn't make. Even if NOT based on his performance, I am not against Moreira transfer, but we needed a CD more than a wingback/winger. On the official page we have 8 CDs listed, of a course many but the 8 includes Tomori, Terracciano, Diawara, Vladimirov plus De Winter which many of you don't rate This is wrong, an obvious wrong.

All right everyone our first difficult game of the season. Over the past few seasons we've had many  draws vs them or each team has won by a goal. 

My mind says it'll be another draw, but my heart really believes we will get a ugly/boring win. Coach must put.a.better.startng 11, RLC ,Jasahri and cisse might need to sit this one out. I'm hopping we continue to be the attacking team and don't have allegri moments. 

Forza Milan let's go

Everything I thought would happen. We have to stop playing defensive after a lead.we played like shit imo and we still could of taken the 3 points. 

Anyways we move fwd 
Forza Milan

Need to get fit. It's pointless to talk about high pressing, dominating games, and/or to pretend like we wanna fight at the top.....when for 3 games in a row now we completely fall apart after 65/70 minutes. Juventus were fresher all over. More lively and had a spring in their step after winning the ball. We on the other hand....at the 60 min mark, I saw a sequence of play where 3 players had the opportunity to take space and advance the ball vertically....and all 3 chose to "slow the game down". They looked fuking gassed. Did anyone watch Roma yesterday? Or Inter? They fuking plow the field for 95 minutes. And we look like we're about to die.l after 60. Making mistake after mistake and giving away free kicks.

Get fit. Then we can talk

[ACM1899]

Concerning fitness with Gila, seems like before we know it he will be out for a few games. And as mentioned by neforme that we are gassed out at a specific time in every game when we have so many days to prepare. I hope the staff figures these things out.

Our defense is weak and we will definitely need to be scoring goals this year because shut outs will be far in between.

It’s still early. These guys aren’t used to playing a high press for 90 mins straight. A whole year of sitting back and defending with Allegri makes adjusting to this playing style tough. Once there conditioning gets to a Premier League team level, I think we will do very well.

That would mean that Modric will have to be an impact sub. There is no way that he will be a good fit in this playing style considering his age (it is not the same as from 30 to 31).

Agreed. He can’t play a full match in Amorim’s system.
