Jinxed it

[Zio Fester]

Get out of jail win cause the 2nd half performance was poor. Defending really bad for 2nd Udinese goal and vast spaces in midfield for Udinese to walk through.

Pioli does not believe in passing as literally the only mode of attack is to run with the ball and/or dribble. Leao again anonymous and becoming a one trick pony while Giroud is so static.

Need to give Jovic and Okafor a run of games to mix things up.

BTW that was an excellent, excellent Okafor finish!! He had to do it so fast. He’s a very good player, but too bad he’s almost always injured.

Gabbia was also great!

[Santino]

I think is time for Leao to sit on the bench...

[Bennacer]

Haha! Where the fuck did this come from? In the 70 minute we looked like pure garbage. It was horrendous to witness. Thank god that we have a good bench this season. Both subs scored.

The game overall was crazy. We startet really well and had total control, finished a beautiful move, but after the incident with Maignan, we turned completely off. And the second half was crazy bad to be honest, we are so lucky that we got away with a win, but belief is the last that perish and we showed that tonight. Fantastic win, especially for the moral, and of course Maignan. This win is for Maignan.

Overall, i think RLC was good todat, composed finish, great work, and much better passing. I will also praise Gabbia. That tackle on 1-1 was fantastic and so important, overall solid. And yes Theo fucked up at the 2-1 goal, but what kind of pass was that from Reijnders? You can blame both. On the other side, Theo was so good overall. Assist for the first goal, hockey assist on Jovic goal, and a threat all match. In my opinion one of our best despite that mistake. Giroud with two assist actually. Old man is deliviering. Adli was decent. Love his determination, worked really hard and his cross passes are so accurate.

Two players where way below pair, and that was Reijnders and Leao. Especially Tijani. Maybe his woest game in a Milan jersey. Nothing worked tonight, but he is easy forgiven and will come back stronger. Leao looks like his shadow self. Cant beat his man anymore, his crosses are wayward, decision making is as always really bad, he had one good defensive moment in the second half, and a few good runs, otherwise crap. Lets get that 100 million....

My rating. 1-10:

- Maignan: 6,5. What a man. Got abused, but fucked of the scum with a good display.
- Calabria: 6. Was good in the first half, a lot of problems in the second like every player.
- Kjær: 6. Was very easily beaten on the 1-1 goal. Otherwise pretty good.
- Gabbia. 7. What a comeback. Two great displays. That tackle in the sesond half got him from 6,5 to 7. Bravo!
- Theo. 6,5. Big mistake on the 2-1 goal, but was involved in 2/3 goals, and showed grit and determination all evening. Old Theo is back.
- Adli: 6. An OK game. Has little pace so is easy beaten against opponents in such duells, otherwise great crosses, and decent passing. Loveable guy!
- Reijnders. 5. Horrid evening. A lot of easy mistakes, very rare he does that, and no influence in attack. A game to forget.
- RLC: 7. Great finish on the goal, and worked really hard. Clearly our best midfielder tonight.
- Pulisic: 6. A pretty average evening.
- Giroud: 6,5. Two assist, and gave his all in the duells.
- Leao. 5,5. He looks lost. He has lost his top speed, and is so predictable. Body langauge is horrible as always. Another game to forget. Okafor from the start against Bologna please.

Forza Milan!

Maybe, but Calabria for sure! Cant wait to see Terraciano taking his spot. 
See that touch from Calabria on that second udinese goal, thats were it all started. He has been terrible this season

[Santino]

Calabria screams LAME at every game, after game, after game. Always one of the weakest on the field.

+1

Matteo Moretto, don't know how credible that journalist (or "journalist") is, says new contract for Jovic is ready and will be offered soon. It will be interesting to see duration of it...

[Artan]

Jovic as a back up player is fine for me, however, a starter who gets you a 20+ goals per season is a MUST.
