Because he has no experience and doesn't know what to do in that scenario. Did you see how lost he was? Did not have any idea that he was 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper!
@htown148 because he is better than the others we have in our team in that position. This doesn't mean he has the experience necessary to score as he must in this levels.
Pulisic 7.2 rating 91% passing 3 key passes 5 of 10 ground duels Fouled 3 times 1 clearance 1 tackle And you give him a "meh"? Christian is the most dangerous player and most consistent on the team. Everything good come through him. Reinders, rlc, leao, and Tammy all ghosted. The real issue is they aren't giving pulisic enough touches.
Huge Puli fan here, but it was absolutely a "Meh" game. The whole team was absolutely Meh, so it's not like he was set up for success. Even as one of the better performers today, it wasn't the performance we were hoping for
I feel like we watched a different match, or maybe I am just a meh fan. I am definitely an AC Milan fan and not idolize an individual on this current squad. However, in the first half, if there is a ray of hope. It came from Pulisic. Just about everything that came to him, something good was to happen. One beautiful pass, and one just clipped the defender heel to a clear chance to goal. He was all over the field trying to make something happen and probably drained his gas tank a little bit in the second half. Not a meh from me for sure. To be honest, we were not going to win this match, and in fact, we could have lost more than 1-0, and yes, even with bad refereeing crews.
Wow not sure I agree with the Pulisic “Meh” and keep in mind he is constantly on the side with Royal which isn’t ideal for a forward winger. Royal just isn’t that great going forward and more known for his defense.
@@MasterMind-xr2qrwell at Spurs he played solid at times defense and was terrible going forward. I haven’t seen anything else different besides maybe being bad now in defense as well.
To me, Pulisic didn’t get enough of the ball. Which is something one commentator had said. We did not see the best from him last night but it’s clear he still tried to make an impact. As it was him who was creating chances. Being the only player for Milan to have a shot on target come half time says a lot. And why he was subbed off I have no clue. Overall, a loss is still a loss but I’d argue defensively Milan were better than against Liverpool. Although the offense display was too little too late.
People don't seem to understand our first 2 games of the champions League were 2 of the best teams out there first game was terrible but today was showing potential.
Its not hating … Emerson is useless, his decisions are wrong, nonexistent in attack and leaky in defense. The players were avoiding passing to him even when he was free!
Pulisic took 2 of 5 shots on frame + created 4 best chances to score including the Reijnders missed chance you highlighted. He was also open quite a bit and missed by teammates… Meh?
Wtf is wrong with this dude. Pulisic created the most and helped open the mid field he worked and played really good! This guy truly doesn’t like Pulisic you can see every time he can he hates! Tool
@@moongirl22Leao can do no wrong in his eyes. His bias in his analysis is evident to a point where you can see that him scolding or criticizing him was so hard for him to actually say something bad
Bro, didn't you know, UEFA have always been against Italian sides in Europe?! They literally hate Italian sides. That's why they always get the hardest draws and always get robbed of decisions. It's a joke
Pulisic could have been rested against Lecce. If you want him to step up against big teams, he needs to rest at times against the smaller clubs. I was sick that Reijnders didn't nail that goal, but over the course of the game, the quality of Pulisic's corners and passes weren't as sharp as I would normally expect from him.
He certainly was tired trying to make some magic happen during the game. For the majority of the game, he was the only one creating chances. Him being the only player to have a shot on goal come halftime says a lot.
I thought Pulisic had a good (maybe 4/5 on your scale) game so I'm a bit confused there. His pass to Reijnders was one of the best chances of the game.
Guys this is Leao, he will not level up. Let’s give him the captain armband so he feels involved, let’s give him the 10 so he feels responsible, let’s take him on press conferences to boost his confidence and personality BUT WE GET NOTHING BACK. I hear “defending work” but I see nothing 😂 I saw tomori shouting at him many times yesterday tho
With today’s performance Kush, we defended much better vs Leverkusen than we did vs Liverpool even though we still look shaky at times. Fofana and Maignan were in my opinion the best players on the pitch. We just didn’t finish our chances when we had them and that’s what frustrated me. The referee was also garbage in this match, no consistency with his calls. The players are improving under Fonseca, which is good to see.
The first match we had Liverpool, top team in England as everyone knows. Second we had Bayer Leverkusen, went undefeated in Germany last year. The last three Champion Leagues group stages, Milan were in the group of death twice. I’m not the kind of person who makes excuses or thinks negatively about things like this. It just seems fishy to me. Great video Kush.
Every outlet rated Puli as very good and Leao as once again disappointing and they are correct, not sure if you were paying attention on this game, but like your analysis almost all the time. You were off on this one
when I look at Ruben Loftus-Cheek on ac milan starting lineup , I knew we will not progress on the attack. And definitely he offers nothing. … and the Brazilian Emerson has not defense talent or attack ability to help Pulisic a just not at all . He made puli look Bad .
Chuk is just not up to standards. Our right side is straight out of the banter era when chuk and royal are on the field together. I would much rather have saled back as a back up to puli at this point. It's been a season and a few games, and i'm just not seeing the progression from him that i'd expect at this point. Funny though, because when we first signed him, fans were saying puli was going to be his backup. I feel like a lot of fans got fooled by some youtube highlight vids and thought we were signing someone that could replicate Leao on the right (although, would be rough given his lack of defensive contributions).
We all see the games differently and have different opinions which makes football discussions fun to have. But man you discuss Pulisic versus Leao the difference is stark. Pulisic was meh bordering on a flop huh? Seriously do you watch the game objectively or do you just watch and want your favorites to do good? If Pulisic doesn’t get a goal involvement that means he played bad? Man new age fandom in football is hilarious
agree with everything except your assessment of Fofana and RLC. Both are highly ineffective. Let not Fofana's energy and bravado lull you into believing he is playing well. His decision-making has been atrocious. he looks confused the first two-three seconds when he receives the ball (as a midfielder, that is a crime) and several of his plays are reckless. Not impressed me at all thus far. RLC is like a timid frog in the body of a giraffe.
I agree with ur point of leao being too loose and almost forgetting his role at times, its been like this for a time. But idk if fonseca told leao to not move the ball forward on a counter. At almost every opportunity we get to counter and the ball falls to leao on the wings he passes it back, fofana was fantastic on every level, reijnders had a chance outside of the box somewhere between the 50th and 80th minute where he had the space to shoot but didnt. I think our players need to be taught that a powerful shot is almost as good as an open one. But overall the ref blew the game away hopefully the refs career is 🗑ed from now on
The defense actually impressed me with how much they absorbed pressure without breaking, except for the parried save goal. At least it looked different from the ones we usually concede (especially because it seems like 75% of the goals conceded so far this season have been copy + paste of each other), so it feels like we're tightening up back there! The growth from matchday 1 to this match is obvious in the backline, and I think a lot of it is down to Gabbia. If he keeps this up he should eventually be considered for team captain, no doubt. Are you going to address the news about the ultras and Calabria that came out? Edited to add that the ref was absolute trash, that was ridiculous.
One of the things I’ve noticed these first two games from Milan in champions league is this team cannot hold possession at all. To me it seems like a lot of the players on the squad aren’t good enough to compete in this competition against the world’s best of the best. And this is my last point, Leao is so overrated he’s ghost in the champions league games I watch. Giving him the captian’s armband is laughable but this is new age football coaching😂 to me Leao will never be a world class player cause the dude just doesn’t have IT. He’s talented be he has to be a key player in a cog but not the main man. Milan’s management has to do some better recruitment when it comes to player acquisition cause this squad isn’t good enough to compete let alone win the champions league in my humble opinion.
The conclusion from that match is that Milan have to consider Referees as an opponent and not let the game be decided by the Referees. Most damaging part of football is games decided by Referees because they favor the one team... Referees saved Levercusen for 2 cealrly penaltys and 1 50/50 penalty and a direct red card, if Referees made 2 of those 4 dicitions right, we would have seen a fair game where Milan destoryed Levercusen. Football needs to have a lifetime bad on Referees in top professional football who do this kind of things, as those are not mistakes but clearly corrupted by their disire to favor one team and see them win, or maybe corrupted for money either way they need a lifetime ban... Only think we can still improve is scoring goals, and Royal not marking his man again and giving away a goal. Overall great game by Milan, Great improvments, to bad we got robbed by Referees.
While i dont mind how we played, .and despite our disadvantage with the ref, we could have even won this game. The attitude to play for a tie early on paid off for Bayer. All we had to do is watch the EL final where Atalanta die what Milan did on the 2nd half yesterday. Not surw why Fonseca started like that. LEVERKUSEN IS BEATABLE. We paid the price for not scoring clear chances
We are heading the right direction I don’t think we could’ve seen attacking plays like this if Pioli was still coach I’m sure Milan can turn things around Forza Milan
Very happy with the performance however the result didn't go our way, we have certainly improved and the positive atmosphere is helping the team but we now need to get a good result with a good performance against Fiorentina, if we are unlucky again then the results will start to weigh much heavily on the atmosphere, post matchday 10th in the league and matchday 5 in the CL, the standings will dictate the environment around the club.
At the second half we played better and deserved at least a draw. I didn't expect to win anyway so I'm not that frustrated. I believe the players improved lately and the team gets the style of play, but there's still a lot to work on
Can I just say, the culture inside the organisation seem to have changed in the last decades or so. To me, this evident in the energy and motivation levels of players. I don't think there has been a squad in the recent years where players really really want to win. If it works out? They are happy, if it doesn't? They are happy, and show a sad face time to time. Pulisic ran his joints off in this and other games. I have no idea what others are doing. Something fundamental needs to change in this whole club, that brings back the desire to play and then to win.
Got to say, the ref was atrocious! Non calls? What the hell do they have a whistle for? We demand the best from the refs; he should not ref another CL game. Second, big game, big moments, big pressure, and some players will choke. CP has been in 1-0 games before in CL. Only takes 1 goal to win. Some of these players need to prove they can beat the best in the CL. ACM are there, but players have to experience this, learn from it & be prepared in the future. Keeping the score low, they did that. Just when you think you are good enough, you're not, so players stop reading about yourself in the news, get that killer instinct & improve your technicsl skills, like scoring from the pass!
You clearly can see a huge difference in our team since game one..... Leao needs to show teams why he wears no. 10...could you imagine pulisic and leao in top gear at the same time..... 🖤❤🖤❤🖤❤
First 45 minutes from Milan was woeful , they were completely dominated. However that was 1000% a penalty on Tammy which would have changed the momentum of the game. Leverkusen committed 15 fouls that game and received only 2 yellow cards vs Milan’s 4 total fouls and 3 yellow cards! There should have been 3-4 yellow cards for Bayer in the first half. Referee shouldn’t be allowed to ref another champions league game his decision making was criminal and VAR not even reviewing either penalty shout is equally criminal. That said Milan showed a great second half effort to get an equalizer and Fofana finally put in a good shift which is encouraging. Although Chuky had an off game he needs to be utilized more throughout this season, Pulisic is gassed and needs some rest! Drop Loftus and start Morata next game please. Better question is can Milan make it to the round of 16 with 0-2 start here???
Also... nearly all the other big teams got cupcakes to play against today. This weird league phase so far isn't at all indicative of where anyone is really at. In fact it's deceptive. The rest of our "league" play are teams we should cruise past. So it's not over.
I thought Leao was like the ideas were there but they weren’t executed. He was too lose and casual with the ball which is frustrating to watch. Hopefully you’re right and he and Puli are just tired.
I guess we watched different matches ....also we expect different things from Milan . I also think the coach was too careful until the goal..... I remain confident this is not our coach and shocking the caliber of players we got
You see and comment on things as they are, and don't care what others say about Milan and Milan players. You understand football and how things go. Your statements are solid, and I like that. To me your videos are as exciting to watch as a Milan game.
Am not angry with our perfomance at all cz Its a new coach, players and system and im beginning to see a different Milan. We just need a proper RB, N0. 10 and Theo backup to move to the next level.
like I have Side before the team is average at best and the fact that moncada has spent 200m in 2 season with no significant upgrades apart from pulisic show how incompetent moncanda and zlatan are
How can Fonseca say this be our best performance when they allowed to play when they felt they were done with us lol? They dictated the play for the whole 90mins.
Milan's attitude before conceding the goal was really bad, they accepted Leverkusen domination, they reacted late. Milan should be clinical in front of the goal.
Yeah you can give pulisic a pass for not having a good game. He has been playing a lot. Fonseca should rotate puli and chuk more often would benefit both of em and our right flank.
This one hurt. Not least because - btw... *that was not a yellow*. It was a red card hand to Theo's face not given... *or even looked at.* Penalty not given. At least 3 or 4 cynical breakaway preventing fouls w/out yellows before 1 was finally given. Several *other* hard fouls from Leverkusen. But no one has ever changed a result *knowing* how obviously biased the refs were. What really hurts though is that it was our best defensive performance so far... even with a few individual poor performances. Leverkusen is averaging almost 3 goals/match. Finally though, our attack was not bad so much as Leverkusen's defense was good. We deserved a draw out of this.
Ref was bad, we were bad for 60 minutes. Yes, I'm happy with the play of the last 30 minutes, but we need to stop being happy with a small portion of a game. We need to start dominating games
What happened to this proud fan base? Content or happy with losing now, and blaming refs. Yeah I realize that we don't have a stacked team, but we should always expect excellence. This is Milan and not some small club.
Lol my tweet made it! That was an awful refereeing performance. We weren’t perfect, but with a fair referee I think we could have (and should have) gotten at least a draw
We are Milan, stop with the "we played vs one of the best teams in Europe and only lost 1-0" we should be one of the best teams in Europe. A loss is a loss, the excuses are too much now.
This was a bad game for Milan. Bayern dominated the entire game, the only time Milan looked like scoring is when Bayern took their foot off the pedal. I mean cmon, this team should be dominating teams like Bayern, I know they are a good side. But to be dominated like that is insulting.
Ref was spineless....milan getting better we need wins against big team though...emerson is just not good enough for milan level.... Bologna causing Liverpool all kinds of problems come on
I'm tired of these mediocre mentality from both the club and the fans. So what if Leverkusen went unbeaten last season. They are not unbeatable, this should be our mentality....look at Aston villa beating Bayern and even juve who were also robbed by the referee plus injuries and yet still won at Leipzig. If it's Milan now, all we'll be hearing is that due to injuries or ref we lost, oh this team is better than us, this is mediocre mentality. This is not my Milan and it's disappointing that a lot of our fans have accepted this mediocrity as our level. Smh
Get beaten 3: 0 Kush: We should take a look at the performance!, They played well, we were just unlucky! Hope these performances are subsituted for points at the end of games😂
I don't think we looked good at all, they were all over us. I don't know if Leverkusen are that quality a team either remember Atalanta destroyed them last year.
They are that good, with a league with bayern,a smoking hot dortmund and a young and exciting leipzig team plus the quality of stuttgart and such to go unbeaten takes alot and,to make them hold the last 40 mins on defense takes alot imo
@@abhishekbasu8694 honestly he’s average he doesn’t need time he needs improvement. Nowadays you can’t play just with ONE LEG. Chuku plays only with the left (control, pass, dribble, shoot, run) and he lacks a lot of consistency. He will be sold in January anyway and I feel sorry for him. If not January, during summer
The pulisic pass to reindeer was 3/4 of a goal. How did he miss that
Because he has no experience and doesn't know what to do in that scenario. Did you see how lost he was? Did not have any idea that he was 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper!

Overall great game by Milan, Great improvments, to bad we got robbed by Referees.
While i dont mind how we played, .and despite our disadvantage with the ref, we could have even won this game. The attitude to play for a tie early on paid off for Bayer. All we had to do is watch the EL final where Atalanta die what Milan did on the 2nd half yesterday. Not surw why Fonseca started like that. LEVERKUSEN IS BEATABLE. We paid the price for not scoring clear chances
Agreed Pulisic should have 2 assists I. This game both to Reinders.
We are heading the right direction I don’t think we could’ve seen attacking plays like this if Pioli was still coach I’m sure Milan can turn things around Forza Milan
Very happy with the performance however the result didn't go our way, we have certainly improved and the positive atmosphere is helping the team but we now need to get a good result with a good performance against Fiorentina, if we are unlucky again then the results will start to weigh much heavily on the atmosphere, post matchday 10th in the league and matchday 5 in the CL, the standings will dictate the environment around the club.
Where’s do you still have the balls to keep calling lao our best player?! He was horrible today!
Magic Mike gave a lot of choice opportunities to BL. But good saves nonetheless
At the second half we played better and deserved at least a draw. I didn't expect to win anyway so I'm not that frustrated. I believe the players improved lately and the team gets the style of play, but there's still a lot to work on
Can I just say, the culture inside the organisation seem to have changed in the last decades or so. To me, this evident in the energy and motivation levels of players. I don't think there has been a squad in the recent years where players really really want to win. If it works out? They are happy, if it doesn't? They are happy, and show a sad face time to time. Pulisic ran his joints off in this and other games. I have no idea what others are doing. Something fundamental needs to change in this whole club, that brings back the desire to play and then to win.
Got to say, the ref was atrocious! Non calls? What the hell do they have a whistle for?
We demand the best from the refs; he should not ref another CL game.
Second, big game, big moments, big pressure, and some players will choke. CP has been in 1-0 games before in CL. Only takes 1 goal to win. Some of these players need to prove they can beat the best in the CL. ACM are there, but players have to experience this, learn from it & be prepared in the future. Keeping the score low, they did that. Just when you think you are good enough, you're not, so players stop reading about yourself in the news, get that killer instinct & improve your technicsl skills, like scoring from the pass!
You clearly can see a huge difference in our team since game one..... Leao needs to show teams why he wears no. 10...could you imagine pulisic and leao in top gear at the same time..... 🖤❤🖤❤🖤❤
First 45 minutes from Milan was woeful , they were completely dominated. However that was 1000% a penalty on Tammy which would have changed the momentum of the game. Leverkusen committed 15 fouls that game and received only 2 yellow cards vs Milan’s 4 total fouls and 3 yellow cards! There should have been 3-4 yellow cards for Bayer in the first half. Referee shouldn’t be allowed to ref another champions league game his decision making was criminal and VAR not even reviewing either penalty shout is equally criminal. That said Milan showed a great second half effort to get an equalizer and Fofana finally put in a good shift which is encouraging. Although Chuky had an off game he needs to be utilized more throughout this season, Pulisic is gassed and needs some rest! Drop Loftus and start Morata next game please. Better question is can Milan make it to the round of 16 with 0-2 start here???
Also... nearly all the other big teams got cupcakes to play against today. This weird league phase so far isn't at all indicative of where anyone is really at. In fact it's deceptive.
The rest of our "league" play are teams we should cruise past. So it's not over.
I hope leao picks up this weekend
Fantastic analysis. Let’s go kush!
I thought Leao was like the ideas were there but they weren’t executed. He was too lose and casual with the ball which is frustrating to watch. Hopefully you’re right and he and Puli are just tired.
Both worst players were coaches choices, RLC and Emerson, please Moncada more coaches petitions! Bring your own players based on scouting.
I guess we watched different matches ....also we expect different things from Milan . I also think the coach was too careful until the goal.....
I remain confident this is not our coach and shocking the caliber of players we got
This is for ref : 🤬
You see and comment on things as they are, and don't care what others say about Milan and Milan players. You understand football and how things go. Your statements are solid, and I like that.
To me your videos are as exciting to watch as a Milan game.
Am not angry with our perfomance at all cz Its a new coach, players and system and im beginning to see a different Milan. We just need a proper RB, N0. 10 and Theo backup to move to the next level.
like I have Side before the team is average at best and the fact that moncada has spent 200m in 2 season with no significant upgrades apart from pulisic show how incompetent moncanda and zlatan are
How can Fonseca say this be our best performance when they allowed to play when they felt they were done with us lol? They dictated the play for the whole 90mins.
Milan's attitude before conceding the goal was really bad, they accepted Leverkusen domination, they reacted late.
Milan should be clinical in front of the goal.
Yeah you can give pulisic a pass for not having a good game. He has been playing a lot. Fonseca should rotate puli and chuk more often would benefit both of em and our right flank.
why cant we start off the game with the formation that we've comfortable with Morata and Tammy upfront
This one hurt. Not least because - btw... *that was not a yellow*. It was a red card hand to Theo's face not given... *or even looked at.* Penalty not given. At least 3 or 4 cynical breakaway preventing fouls w/out yellows before 1 was finally given. Several *other* hard fouls from Leverkusen.
But no one has ever changed a result *knowing* how obviously biased the refs were.
What really hurts though is that it was our best defensive performance so far... even with a few individual poor performances. Leverkusen is averaging almost 3 goals/match.
Finally though, our attack was not bad so much as Leverkusen's defense was good. We deserved a draw out of this.
Rjeinders simply isn't a finisher.
fofana played like clarence seedorf.
What even happened is the coach because only 442 fits us on the attack
Ref was bad, we were bad for 60 minutes. Yes, I'm happy with the play of the last 30 minutes, but we need to stop being happy with a small portion of a game. We need to start dominating games
We got a group with Liverpool, Bayern Leverkusen and Real Madrid. Lets calm down we got almost every single top team in Europe
What happened to this proud fan base? Content or happy with losing now, and blaming refs. Yeah I realize that we don't have a stacked team, but we should always expect excellence. This is Milan and not some small club.
Lol my tweet made it! That was an awful refereeing performance. We weren’t perfect, but with a fair referee I think we could have (and should have) gotten at least a draw
Feels like after the Fiorentina loss, things might be getting worse 😳
@@footballkush we are the most hot and cold squad I’ve seen 😔
I love you Kush, but I saw the lights turn red for Leao after you gave so many excuses for Pulisic, and I stopped watching.
What?
💩 referee
Did you see the pics that Emerson is laughing with Xabi Alonso ...... the guy is not interested in giving 30% for Milan ....... what about 110% :/
We are Milan, stop with the "we played vs one of the best teams in Europe and only lost 1-0" we should be one of the best teams in Europe. A loss is a loss, the excuses are too much now.
Leao is 2nd season wonder. That's all
RLC had no business playing 90 mins
To be honest....I liked the way Milan played in 2nd Half....Milan will be unbeaten in next 6 matches, I can see 5 wins with Draw against Real Madrid
This was a bad game for Milan. Bayern dominated the entire game, the only time Milan looked like scoring is when Bayern took their foot off the pedal. I mean cmon, this team should be dominating teams like Bayern, I know they are a good side. But to be dominated like that is insulting.
Referee 💩
Ref was spineless....milan getting better we need wins against big team though...emerson is just not good enough for milan level.... Bologna causing Liverpool all kinds of problems come on
The ref was a turd.
I'm tired of these mediocre mentality from both the club and the fans. So what if Leverkusen went unbeaten last season. They are not unbeatable, this should be our mentality....look at Aston villa beating Bayern and even juve who were also robbed by the referee plus injuries and yet still won at Leipzig. If it's Milan now, all we'll be hearing is that due to injuries or ref we lost, oh this team is better than us, this is mediocre mentality. This is not my Milan and it's disappointing that a lot of our fans have accepted this mediocrity as our level. Smh
THE BEST PLAYER OF THIS MILAN IS ALVARO MORATA
Nah
Emerson cannot play even in the sunday league, Calabria Is not a top player, but he's way better than Emerson
Get beaten 3: 0
Kush: We should take a look at the performance!, They played well, we were just unlucky! Hope these performances are subsituted for points at the end of games😂
Ah, when Milanisti lose it's the ref, but when they get the most ridicoulus calls in Serie A (AC Rigore) you act dumb.
Sorry but I can’t be happy with Milan playing 45 mins of football and calling it the best performance of the season
I don't think we looked good at all, they were all over us. I don't know if Leverkusen are that quality a team either remember Atalanta destroyed them last year.
They are that good, with a league with bayern,a smoking hot dortmund and a young and exciting leipzig team plus the quality of stuttgart and such to go unbeaten takes alot and,to make them hold the last 40 mins on defense takes alot imo
Hmm? So that’s to downplay them? Atalanta trashed Liverpool, that means that they are bad?
40M for Chuku and royal good job Furlani
20 mil, not 40
@@abhishekbasu8694 20M each so 40

Chuku needs playing time. He will improve with time. Don't know why royal was bought? One of the biggest charities in the history of football
@@abhishekbasu8694 honestly he’s average he doesn’t need time he needs improvement. Nowadays you can’t play just with ONE LEG. Chuku plays only with the left (control, pass, dribble, shoot, run) and he lacks a lot of consistency. He will be sold in January anyway and I feel sorry for him. If not January, during summer
