Empoli v Milan

Inzagh is an awful coach. This team has no identity, no style of play, nothing. It's just a bunch of individuals running around.

Can't wait until this fool is sacked.

I just don't understand what the plan is.

The positives are:
1. Poli and De Jong are working together well.
2. Our CBs have been able to defend most crosses and set-pieces with ease.
3. Antonelli looks to be a solid purchase.
4. Destro scored even whilst feeding off scraps.

The negatives are:
1. Rami at RB. Never has worked, never will work.
2. Diego Lopez' ball control has been dismal and passing has been wayward.
3. Empoli are managing to get in behind on occasion.
4. The midfield is getting completely overrun. We don't have much possession.
5. Little lateral movement in the front third. Honda, Menez and Bonaventura all need to work together. At the moment, when any one of them get the ball they just run forward.
6. Destro starved of supply.

Well maybe Rami doesnt do well going forward but i think he gives solidity in the right side. I prefer him than your othet propet RBs and that says a lot

Abate & MDS (both injured) are undeniably better RBs. Also, considering that Rami is a decent CB, it makes little sense to use him out on the right where he is so limited going forward. I'm a strong believer in putting players in their natural positions.

I guess you can cross off strength #2 in my list above. The CBs just went to sleep there and Maccarone puts away a free header.

Lol wao, totally forgot about Abate and MDS, true. But still, i think he is decent cover when injuries to those players.

Concerning the goal, personally, i think Empoli deserves it. They've had good posession and good determination going forward. Milan, im not sure what they playing. They are not taking positions or speed for counter attacking and they are not playing a possession game. Anybody care to enlighten me?

1-1 vs Empoli at home in the 78th and no subs have been made this half. It's like Pippo wants to be sacked.

Not even Inzaghi knows what style of game we're playing, my friend.

Hahahahahahahahahahahha

It seems every week (or every 2 weeks) i keep saying to myself 'this is the worst/most boring game we've played yet', and i continually keep getting surprised

Another woeful kick from Lopez and then he handballed it outside the box. And for that, Lopez gets sent off just to emphasise that this is the worst game I've ever seen him play for Milan.

Paletta looks like he's done his hamstring... and we're down to 9 with no subs.

Another thing I noticed about Lopez is that, havent you guys realized he doesnt command his backline? Or is it just me? He never commands, shouts or get angry with them?

Our whole backline is completely out of shape due to injuries, rotations and transfers.

That was our worst game of the season and we deserved to lose. This is nothing new. It's just the latest point on a downward trend. The club desperately needs radical intervention. Destro and Cerci are surely thinking, "what have I got myself into here?!"

Bee Taechaubol save us pls

Its time for Inzaghi to go, I still don't know what our gameplan is, and what players are in our starting line up.

Even Zeman would be better than Inzaghi right now. At least I know what Zeman stands for. It's as if Inzaghi just said to his players, "here is the formation, here is the starting XI, go and win the game now".

I seriously am afraid of relegation now, only Parma has been worse than us in 2015.

The aftermath of this game is going to get very ugly. I think Pippo will either be fired this week or next week when we lose/draw vs Cesena.

sigh . Such endless fail ..

I am honestly curious to see how long it will take Inzaghi to realise Menez behind Destro is stupid . I can't comprehend why a coach really does that , even a new coach . Let's see how long it goes on.

Just how hard can it be to play Menez-Honda-Cerci with Destro in front of them.....

goodness forbid everyone playing their position

but anyhow , even if he at least had his lineup right . We are so clueless and weak on the field that i am beginning to doubt if it does even matter really. We're just a couple of players trying to turn it all around , no football from Milan . I won't even talk about Inzaghi's ideas anymore , it has become more than obvious those either failed or simply don't work and he insists on them .

Closing the post , i can't but wonder ; how can you say if we have performances worthy of Milan we could win everyone till the end of the season and yet give the initiative to the likes of Empoli , and that at home ?

Someone should remind him that Milan always pinned opponents in their box and used to dominate the game , besides the massive defences . Deep defence doesn't exclude you from dominating the play and sieging opponents. Something that he obviously never learned from his dear mentor , Ancelotti . Just look how simple it is ; you have a good defence? you don't mind being attacked , occasionaly you welcome it . You don't have a good defence? You do not want to be attacked. At least you don't want it , Inzaghi does want it , so we can counter attack more often . genius

That simple . Inzaghi does it the opposite way , i suppose if he had a great defence he would look to play like Bayern.

#sack

It's getting increasingly hard to back Inzaghi. You know, this may be a childhood complex that I got out of something, but I just don't believe in sacking a coach in the midstream.

I was against sacking Allegri, I was against Sacking Seedorf, and even didn't want Ancelotti and Leonardo to depart.

It's frankly too gut-wrenchingly painful to see Milan like this. I, for one, am totally devoid of ideas. On the paper, a strike force of Honda-Menez-Destro SHOULD do wonders. Alex was SUPPOSED to be better than our current defenders. De Sciglio WAS superlative for three years.

Honestly, WTF?

I wish I could be more decisive than this, like Dante who used the #Sack hashtag like a man. I am not as cofident on this.

Let me use this: #SilvioSpendFFS

man wtf was the point of sacking allegri for seedorf and inzaghi, one of the stupidiest decision imo

Oh don't get me wrong; #SilvioSpendFFS is our n1 problem for years now. It still is as we all well know.  

Knowing this won't change however , i am inclined to ask for Inzaghi to get the sack. An established/experienced coach would really be of immense help to the team . I supported Allegri from day 1 to day 99 ; i knew sacking him was a bad call , despite everyone i was certain he was the least of our problems . I still supported Seedorf anyway , i've always believed he would make a serious manager . I was fully behind him and they sacked him too. I STILL supported Inzaghi too despite all my concerns and doubts , untill recently. I have almost zero now . I knew he wasn't ready , now i know if we stick with him we are going to pay for it with yet another season without european football. Even EL would be paradise given how poor we are .

The big difference in everything with Inzaghi ; he's actually problematic on so many fronts. His view of the team , his stuborness with certain players , his mind-boggling use of defenders and most of all , his insistance in allowing lesser teams to have first say on the game . Personally speaking , that's not football worthy of Milan . It is embarrasing to watch Milan play like that . #sack Inzaghi is not the same thing as with Allegri or Seedorf . Them were true scapegoats , both of them. We may not have been a powerhouse recently , but they at least knew how to make the team attack properly. Inzaghi's Milan is like thrusting heroin on the eyes , you can't even watch your team anymore..

Our main issue remains the management , definitely . And Inzaghi was their choice and it failed . We are well below the red lines we would ideally forgive him as a new coach . We don't even witness positive signs of progress , or hints of good football. We can't even tell what's our plans anymore tbh. Inzaghi's idea of football is hold on untill Menez gets to run at goal. Why should we back this up? For what reason should i support Inzaghi when his predeccesor with so much fodder was doing better than that , both in play and results ?

5 wins in 12 home matches . You really don't need more than that . Unless out of this world things are going to happen which nobody can possibly predict , we are going to finish between 8th and 12th this season . Inevitably then , he will get the sack... and i wonder , why not right now? Why not give ourselves the chance to make a last effort at EL football?

I am cool about it despite my utter dissapointment in Milan . Perhaps a change of coach right now won't help that much , i may or may not be right in his imminent sacking..But i know , that even if he's meant to survive the season , the results that he will show are going to be at the very best of cases a repeat of last season , 8th place finish. That alone is reason enough for a sack . He had a better team and not only he didn't manage better but we actually have been worse than last season. At least last season we attacked heavily , despite the poor results . This season i have only two words for Milan , weak and ugly . That's Inzaghi's Milan .

someone had to be blamed , it wouldn't have been the management obviously. So it was Allegri and then Seedorf. Frankly , i still can't say which sacking was worse , with all honesty i have. I still can't say .

Goddammit what an eyesore. I honestly felt like vomiting and was depressed for a few hours. I am sick of this.

I hope everyone can see now why I was not excited by the Paletta signing at all.

And as for a hashtag...

#SilvioSELLTHECLUBFFS

On the bright side we drew 2-2 with Cesena so you didn't lose any ground on 1st place.
