Calcio Saga 20/21

And here I am just glad McKennie showed out with the time he got today. Good header.

For half an hour, there was the Milan of the Gattuso days. A lot of good moves to get the ball in offensive positions, and then piss-poor decision making (Diaz, Salamander, and Rebic being the price culprits today). We are lucky we got a stupid handball penalty to save the half. Hopefully, we don't blow it in the second half.

Funny things this match is that Calabria showed both his transformed and old self in the same match. He created two chances, but had multiple poor crosses as well.

How's Diaz doing at Milan please? I see he's starting so that's a good sign I guess. I hope he's developing nicely.

overall he is doing well B+ ; and to tbf he has been more of taking makeshift roles in the front trident playing LW, AM, RW depending on needs.

quality player no question but his decision making and finishing needs polishing. If ur asking this game against sampdoria though, dreadful.... lost almost all ball on possession, dreadful passing and finishing. dunno who has been bad this first half him or rebic...

i was thinking the same, just stupid decision making on final third by all those 3 but rebic or diaz gets the prize. i was like guys, ur right infront of gk u got past everyone, just slam the ball .... slam the ball towards gk face if u have to... but no two of them even got tangled themselves rebic and diaz on who to take a shot.


i mean is pioli out of his f.. kin mind??? hauge is the best player in form atm.... instead he moves diaz to LW

calabria though atm arguably the best player ... alongside gabbia. donnarumma too..
we are incredibly lucky indeed to be in front because of that jankto handball..

if win is on agenda then pioli need to ask these front three not to overthink or overdo things

also quagliarella and gabbiadini ... sigh.. these two clearly got a plan to get kessie sent off ; falling off their asses with minimal touch

jens petter hauge on diaz off - well think still pioli made wrong decision, should have started him

jens with almost assist immediate impact, nicely set up for tonali hit the post

It's funny how we went from the team who refused to use wingers to now stockpiling them.

From Carlo's Milan to Allegri. Although with Allegri we had a brief stint with SES, Balo, and Niang. The guys after him tried forcing Suso/Honda/Bonaventura on the wings, who were all slow attacking midfielders.

Now we have Rebic, Leao, Hauge, Diaz, Saele, Castillejo, and Maldini is looking to add Thauvin too. None of them are world-class, but just having players who can run with the ball, and run behind the defense with pace makes a world of a difference.

sigh.... another free opportunity missed, dunno if this is hakan or rebic but hakan didnt have power on his pass enough set for rebic free, rebic got with his pace, tonelli just catches him just enough to clear it out

thauvin is different... his goal scoring : assist ratio is unbelievable! every game either goal or assist ; we need thauvin in there for sure

god this inability to clear on set piece is appaling too...

why is Candreva NOT getting red for pulling tonali's ear???? Wtf....

Saelemaekers is your milanese version of Sturaro

saelemakers bro!! one on one... sigh...
looks like its not our day

tonali was too nice there he should have just fell off on his ground... just like quagliarella and gabbiadini been doing to get kessie sent off

The way this match is evolving, normally i would say the trouble is coming and a goal awaits. But Samp seems completely inept deep in your zone. If Milan keeps playing this way they might even get another breakaway chance.

is theo having problem...?? he is hobbling a bit...

we had like 2 - already before that and diaz and rebic messed up big time

oh jeez... samu castijello .. lol we got world classes RWs on our ranks

FINALLLY!!! and again thats all HAUGE... wonderful splitting pass to rebic -> castilejjo -> goal

Shocking defense in that goal, the guy in front of Hauge and the defender that fell in front of Rebic

Pioli manager of the year

Stefano Pioli ran over to join the group hug too lol ; i think today milan is OFF because ibra didnt make it on staff bench as cheerleader ...

thank god though the back four has their heads on right state tonight
