Milan's Biggest Need + Crisis Solution + Don't blame management

hya folks. before anyone bashes me on this thread i just wanted to say why i created it.


after the catania game, i thought we were in pretty bad shape in the serie a, but then after the UCL game vs. celtic i was sure we were in bad shape in general. so in this thread i want to see everyone's solution, not transfers and new coaches, but with our current players(not even R9,Capitino, or Pato) because if this goes on we might be out of contention of all the championships(excluding Club WC). plus, if you are gonna bash me for this thread then its better to not post anyway.

PS:- Liked the positve thoughts thread, this maybe similair.

AC Milan will be back to its best as soon as Paolo Maldini returns to action and Kalac gets more starts , we need brave players in our team not match losers

oops forgot my own solution....

Play GOURCUFF, he sped up our play, really, when he enterd most attacks came from him.

We need to play more offensively, we need to pose a threat on the teams we meet. Before, teams feared Milan. That's not the case anymore because we sit back and defend most of the time, and when we attack we do it with 2-3 players. No team is scared by that.

We need to step up and say: "Here comes Milan, the best team in the world, get out of our way!!!"

It seems our team/coach has no confidence in their own abilities. That's what we need. Unfortunately confidence comes from good results, so we're pretty much in a bad circle these days...

Whilst San Paolo will bring back his aura of calmness, composure and professionalism no doubt boosting the morale and probably results of the team it's not a good long term solution. In all fairness this will be his last full season at the club and cannot play till he is 50, no matter how much some would like him to.

Last season showed that the squad blatantly needs investment to improve the quality of the starting 11, and more importantly the bench for a long hard season so we can rest key players and also keep them on their toes. We need more players who are hungry to win, hungry for trophies. We failed to do this for one reason or another in the summer and we are paying the price right now. I expected maybe we would face problems later in the season, but certainly not at this stage given we had the preparation time that Carlo moaned so adamantly at the lack of last year.

We are going through a bad stage, which we will get out of at some point, but I just don't know when. I'm more afraid if nothing changes we will end up in a situation like 97 all over again. Maybe Carlo wasn't listened to in the summer when he requested players, or maybe he wasn't forceful enough in his demands. No-one outside the club will know this so it can only be speculation.

I don't particularly like the we we play at the moment, it's far too pedestrian and not enough penetrating force in attack. Change is needed!

Forza Miiiillan!

Milan plays the same cool football as it did in the last 5 years since Ancelotti is the coach
This team still has a lot of potential
The only thing they should change is the formation from one match to another
Maybe it's time to try the 4-3-1-2 formation again and play with 2 strikers

So true, so true.

is simple what we need... a good striker coz Pipo is 35, ronaldo most of the time have injury, Glia can't score continually, and Pato is good but maybe is still to young, i think Huntelar,then a difender coz grande Maldini can't play in evry game and i do not see Kalaze as good replacement so barzagli or Mexes are great zambrotta too and a goalkeeer maybe good option is Amelia... Opinions???

Quality players

when R9 returns...play him alongside Gila...coz Gila plays better when he's paired up w/ a speedy striker(ex. Sheva, Ronaldo, Pato)

Yes May this be true! May they all learn from this period and move forward with positivity. May it rain down goals for Milan! We need to send our team all our positive thoughts and prayers in this time. If not us, their most dedicated fans than who?

May the Force Be with Milan!

Opinions!!? Of course agree especialy about Hauntelaar and Zambrotta and may be Barzagli and if we get Amelia also it would be great, however, and mark my words no one of them will join Milan next year, may be Hauntelaar will but all Barzagli, Amelia, Zambrotta and Mexes is some kind of scince fiction just like Ronaldinho.

There's mention of Peruzzi on another site for the kpr position. If that happens, then they can just go to hell.

The main reason next to lacking confidence is that Italian teams figured us out.
We must try and DARE to change our tactics and formations.
I would love to see Gourcuff,Seedorf and Kaka,Gila upfront against those smaller teams.
We need to start scoring regular goals instead of gambling on penaltys.

I doubt it very much. He retired even though he knew he'll play CL with Lazio, after many years without CL.
He will never come back from retirement.

If he didn't retire then , even though his age, he would have been a perfect choice for the period January-May, before Milan bought their new #1.
Remember that last year he was the best goalkeeper in serie A.

But there is not a chance Milan to sign Peruzzi now, so don't worry.
