Gabbia literally clears Dimarco sitter before the subs. "Never play well", right? Our goal was amazing.

You guys are exaggerating alot. Read Milan first half comments, they are happy with a draw.

Please watch again highlights till the 60' and tell me if you still dont see chances.
Dude, you can't bring up a single opportunity or two, to justify a poor display in which made our team look inept as fuck.

It's not exaggerating when things need to be said for sake of truth. Most of first half was owned by Milan, although we managed to score, Milan was still getting what they wanted; to keep us out of threat.

Second half is just pathetic. Like I said, these semi-chances aren't enough. We usually do much better in term of creativity and aggressivity. We create far more chances although we are known for being wasteful.

We are sixth behind Juventus & Napoli teams with new coaches and lost to a terrible Milan that only beat Venezia before us. And they have Fonseca as a coach. We play like we did in 2022/2023 and barely made top 4.
Right, so logically I'd be easier for us to bounce back. I'm not saying we should be happy with the result, but crying that we won't win shit this year just based on the first month of the season is quite ridiculous tbh.

I wouldn‘t say finishing, it is more that we are Not that straight when Building it up. Dimarcos goal was a Perfect example of a play being consequently played until the end. Majority of the time we are trying to connect too clean or to execute it top perfectly instead of being less technical and more purposeful in the goal‘s direction.

Another concern is that we concede very Late again which means we are Not concentrated until the end. Last Season we conceded the first goal after the 75th Minute somewhere around the 30 match mark, now we already did thrice in five games.

And last Point re Milan: They actually have the Players to hang on if They stay focused on the league, so as I Said in the Serie A thread before, I expect this Season to be very tough with Milan and Napoli.

It's more of a question of form etc..clearly in terms of points the season is young, but -5 points like for like to last year is really bad. Last year we won the next 7 or so games in a row, and were unbeaten for a lot more. Do you aee us doing that again this year? Of course this year might shape up as an 82 point scudetto, but still, we are objectively a lot worse than last year, so far

I think the point here about conceding times is important. What is it that isn't clicking this year? More assclowni mins?

If Lautaro was playing like last season, our Serie A campaign would be very different.

Now the rest of the team has to make up for him, and it's just not enough.

If we keep on collecting 8 points out of every possible 15, we really won't win shit. The Scudetto is the only worthy obtainable prize we can win and we are throwing it away so far. We won enough Italian cups and supercups, I don't care about those.

We played not as good as we used to. But how about Mike saves on Thuram's dash? Thuram free header? Lautaro first time shoot? Milan only chance was Mikhy fuckup and literally they created nothing else.

Yes I am not counting Barella or Hakan long trials coz they are only half-ones. But there are still some more obvious.

You clearly missed a lot of first half incidents. Only look the glass half-full and focus on bad finishing. I swear we are winning this shit had those subs been corrected. Zielinski Taremi and Bisseck to be specific.

Why are you using last season as a gauge? I can't remember but in terms of goals and points, we were probably at one of the best, if not, the best in club history. Without significant backing from the club it is impossible to replicate that, almost all of our rivals did spend money to improve their squad. Also, lets not to forget that this season the boys came late from Copa and the Euro, so it's not fair to expect to have the same as last season.

And noone is gonna dispute your last statement, it's so obvious.

Lautaro is a part of it but not the only part. As quoted above the defense isn't working as well either. Sommer isn't quite the beast mode he was. Everyone is just 10% worse than last year

One thing ive noticed already this season is our defence covering. It's already the third or fourth goal we concede goal from headers. Players simply not jump or do not even cover the players. It also happend against City. Almost reminds me off banter era with juan jesus and rannochia, we are going no where with mistakes like that. And second half was a disaster today, it's like they just don't care anymore that much.
At least CL they showed some effort, yeah there were mistakes but we were doing good against an difficult opponent. I have already said that, i don't even care that much after the second star, i would like too see us winning the CL again because it's the only missing trophy. But it won't be easy of course. Specialy if we should play like today...really really dissapointed.

Maybe the stories are true then. Beppe telling the UCL is important. Maybe the squad wants it more too. The City game is complete proof of that. We didnt bother in Monza and tonight. I mean you have destroyed Milan 6 on the bounce and won the title infront of 65 000 milanisti. Won 2 stars which most of the calcio players never experience. There will be a time you let off some pressure and take it easier.

Inzaghi has to make changes soon in the lineup. Going with the same blueprint even after these successful trophy years is a mistake. Nesta and Fonseca have outsmarted him in the last 2 Serie A games, he should really start to prepare a change.

What makes you think that we will keep on collecting 8 points out of every possible 15? Plenty of time to get back to form, it's not like this team has no plan or idea about how to play, it's obvious some of our top guys aren't in top form yet.

Just a benchmarking exercise. Largely the same team, same manager, it's useful to know how we pace against last season..94 points is obviously quite a high total for winning the league but if everything goes the same as last season we are only on track for 89 ATM, a couple more slips and suddenly things look quite dicey.

Lautaro's slump is about to end at some point and so will the teams. Thuram is a good 2nd striker but we need last seasons Lautaro. There aren't huge problems in our game that I can see right now. Or rather problems that can't be fixed. Overall quality of the bench seems much better than it actually is. Asllani, Darmian, Frattesi, Correa, Arna are just not good enough but I have high hopes for Zielinski, Bisseck, Taremi and Carlos Augusto to have a great season. Same problem as last year, need one more good striker if and when there's going to be injuries.

Right, but you need to consider circumstances as well.

We were never gonna win this match. Let's take the L as champs and address the problem for upcoming matches.

Our group was a bit too high and too full of themselves. This match is going to bring them down to earth, hopefully. As for chances created, still not enough. 90mins played for some detailed stuff is just NOT enough. We lacked ideas and barely created anything, anything else twised to sugarcoat it, is just like making a short pleasure to distract ourself from the truth of being ass.

Don't have one.
I don't know where this sentiment that we were shit from the start of the season comes from, tbh. For me, this was the first game where we looked completely off energy wise. And it kinda adds up given our recent schedule.

That's why I think it's way too early to throw sticks and stones on inzaghi and this team in terms of some radical changes needed, or thinking we are in crisis mode.

I don't know how much time Lautaro need to get to his form again but have a feeling this time he will have big second half of the season (possible big CL campaign) instead of the first half from the last season.

Thats be quite the surprise. Lautaro has never shown anythig of real note in Europe, even our CL final run he was 3 in 13... His most significant CL achievement was probably the season he was the player with the most shots in the group stage... With 0 goals to show for it.
