Pulisic was only matched in stats by Leao and Dybala in ALL of SERIE A last season... That speaks for itself, and he's continued that form into this season. Happy Tammy got a goal and is assimilating well! FORZA MILAN!!!
in one of the article I read, Tammy said that Pulisic is the designated Penalty kick taker .. But on the 2nd Penalty, Leao gave it to Tammy because he wants Tammy to score .. great gesture by both Leao and Pulisic ... BTW .. can you ask Alex to predict us winning 1-0 againts Liverpool and 3-0 againts Inter :D
If Puli is the designated taker then that speaks to the level of trust Fonseca has for Pulisic we haven't seen many pks yet so we can't determine if Puli is the pk taker but if he is then Puli could have another 20-30+ goal season
@@wuxiagamescentral well, we know Theo was in the game when both Penalty was taken. Last season we know that if Olie is not in the game, then Theo will take the Penalty.
Ohhh he is a superstar already, I think we got a steal in Tijani and teams are scratching their head as to how we found him. He makes the Dutch team tick
Kush, it was a solid performance by the players overall vs Venezia, a much needed win even though it’s against a relegation side. Not everything has been solved but today’s win is a result that the team can build confidence and momentum from moving forward.
The opponent aside, this was the first performance that resembled Fonseca-ball. We saw a Milan that broke the opponent’s press with ease; won the ball high up the pitch and countered effectively; took defensive responsibility as a team and didn’t allow much - and simply dominated! Great point from which to continue improving. Forza Milan!
It's more than that with Pulisic. He dictates the rhythm. He knows when to hold possession and when to push forward. He tucked in very nicely and tried to release the strikers like a proper 10. Him and reijnders squeezing in gives us a 3142 in attack with leao as a wider 2nd striker and Theo as a left mid. It looks good.
Leao just doesn’t want Pulisic to score more than him. The spotlight used to be on him till Pulisic rolled on in. And as a result, Leao’s ego came out.
I thought I heard Tammy say that Christian gave him the penalty because he wanted to make sure his friend from Chelsea got on the score sheet for playing so well.
The disallowed goal and the overall crappiness is reason for concern. I kept seeing Venezia's nb 27 getting miles of space on the left but not getting a single ball. That could be a problem in the future. But looking at us, there was so much being positive. I'd like to add. * Emerson did ok but still needs to work. He came late in the squad so it's understandable. * RLC + Fofana as double pivot.... beautiful. I'm calling that the "two bears of midfield". When Youss is settled in and masters the language and tactics, we're gonna see something special.
Cool thing about Emerson is that he plays more advanced and allows Pulisic to drift further infield. More dangerous defensively but it’s a great way to get more out of Pulisic. Pulisic is decent at finishing in the box. Allowing him more opportunities to get in there I think will allow us to see him score many goals this season
I really really hope so! We need the midfield to get stabilized. Emerson, I am still unsure about but comfortable giving him some time. Davide better stay ready to insert himself fully back in.
Thumbs up players chosen for green boxes. Gradually the team is getting to grasp the coaches tactics. It was good to drop Theo and Leao to the bench. Milan have had great players come in and achieve greater things than those duo,so they better up their game,they are not bigger than Milan. Pulisic is gradually showing how important he is to the team. Pulisic is in his 2nd season. Leao ab Theo are way ahead. Mike showed his worth in his first season. So I did mention Pulisic as part of the 3(Mike,Theo and Leao. Great piece.
Great video as usual! I’m very worried about Emerson and how quickly a switch of play bypasses our midfield leaving our DBs isolated and backtracking. I feel like in big games against strong teams Pulisic especially is forced to hang way back acting more as an 8 than a winger. For us to succeed this next week Emerson needs to be especially picky on when he makes runs. I would like us to run more of a mid block vs Liverpool and Inter trying to force them into traps and not get caught so high up with their quality ball handlers.
Now we just need to take this form into our biggest test yet against Liverpool if we can at least get a result there not even a win just a draw we can start the champions league in the right direction
Great Win! This is what we needed. But doesn’t mean that we needed to slack off. It was a must win. Want this match to give us motivation/something to believe in. We gotta stay strong/fight hard. Let’s go! Lmao
Credit the tactical change. At times, Pulisic was playing inside, forming a box midfield, almost like a 4-2-2-2. Much better use of his skills than keeping his heels on the touch line the whole game.
Fonseca needs a lot of credit. Rossoneri fans were panicking. Speculation was flying around, yes it is Venezia a team that is not near the quality of Inter or Juve but Fonseca got the team to do something Pioli struggled doing. The biggest take away is that we played extremely well in our midfield and defense. Loftus Cheek was the best player on the pitch today. He had a phenomenal game and if we can get him to play at a high level doing the things we saw him do in this game in the big games. The other teams are going to have some serious problems. He is 6’4 imposing and excellent at carrying the ball and winning the ball back in the the second and last third. I really want to give Fonseca props, I didn’t understand why he kept playing Loftus Cheek in that role but now I see it is a fluid role, many times I saw Rejinders attacking. With LFC pushing the ball up, Fofana was able to really play more in the 1st and 2nd thirds and brought the defensiveness that we need kind of plugging holes that were missing when E. Royal went up the right flank and Pulisic drifted into different areas of the pitch. I think we have so much more to get out of Fofana but it was good to see a semblance of what he could do. E. Royal had a very very good game, he had some mistakes but with time and some growth in confidence we may see an extraordinary Royal come to the fore that many players cannot match. When he is locked in he showed me he has what it takes to play for Milan. Tottenham fans are fools. They have been sold a dream by the Saudi Oil money of the prem league, Pedro Poro is exceptional but let us not pretend that E. Royal on his day can definitely out perform Porro. Gabbia and Pavlovic, I have been calling for this pairing for too long. Gabbia is an extremely disciplined player, Pavlovic can be a bit of a wild card. They offer the defense balance of a kind we have not seen in a very long time. Theo and Puli just had amazing performances. When Theo plays like that he is the best LB in the world hands down. He becomes unplayable by any opposition. He was electric and everywhere, giving him the captain’s armband after everything that was blown out of proportion in the last game I think was a great move by Fonseca. Pulisic continues his blistering form. He will be vital for us this season. Roma messed up, they should have never gave us Abraham. He was an absolute baller for Chelsea and for Roma before he got injured. He compliments our attacking line so well and against teams that play possessional football, what really kills them is an extremely effective counter attacking team e.g. Peps Bayern vs Mourinho’s Madrid in 2016? Correct me if the date is wrong. That Bayern was clicking on all cylinders that year and Madrid absolutely ran rampant in the Alianz which got Pep fired. Tammy + Leao + Pulisic + Rejinders are a very very dangerous top 3 with dynamism that teams should be very scared of This was a Fonseca masterclass, yes against a weaker Venezia team but let us be grateful as we have so many factors to take into account and we needed a game like this and the others against opponents like those to help us work out the defects. I think its just up to consistency now and also if we do get put in a jam do we have the grit to keep fighting to win. That we have not seen yet. Lastly, I am saying it now the one team Motta struggled against all of last season was Milan. Every time Bologna played Milan they were punished. Even with Piolis not so great tactics. Juve looked terrible against Empoli, it was such a boring and poor performance. Idc whether they were flying in their first 2 games, I am saying it here, Milan will beat Juve by 4 goals this season when we have to play them. They will learn how to play football and Inter, we have something special for Inter this season. They are going to get a reality check the next time they play us. We have alot less weaknesses and I don’t think that Inter’s midfield can stand up to Milan’s. Chalangolu is garbage he has always been garbage and I know he will be shut down all game and shown up as the fraud that he really is. Inter cannot tick without him, Dimarco will not be able to play forward as much as he wants with this new Milan and it will cost them dearly if he does. Fofana and Loftus Cheek will run rampant in their midfield and Inter will struggle to retain possession and play the football they like. I say we beat them 2-0 in game that could easily see them beaten by 5 or more goals. Inzaghi will be humiliated, as he should have never coached inter to begin with as an AC Milan Legend. Lastly FORZA MILAN!!!!’
I imagine a scenario where Milan play 442. With Tammy and Morata paring up front. Leao and pulisic deeper on the wings. Fofana and reijnders in the center and the defense. I’ll like to see that experiment play out.
I must've been really late to notice this after being your subscriber for quite sometime but I noticed that you lights in the background turn colors whenever it be "Green box" or "Red box" and you deserve a lot of credit for the quality of these videos.
bro.. Reijnders deserves a GOLD BOX. Ever since he first touched the ball in a Milan shirt he's done so well. hes not perfect. but his performances are consistent. Consistency is something I think increases player value in the trasnfer market and thats a huge plus for us. He's going to make us cry if we were ever forced to sell him.
Nottingham Forest under Nuno plays a very counter attacking style. They had to absorb A LOT of Liverpool pressure and then hit on the counter with speed.
Based on the results, Fonseca did *exactly* what was needed when he benched Theo and Leao. The point of such a "dramatic" move is that they *weren't* playing with any kind of desire or fire. After that, they've been playing as they should. If they put together half of Puli's consistent effort desire and effectiveness over an extended period... then I'll say they've completely learned the lesson. But clearly hand holding and coddling is *not* what those 2 players need.
I read that Leao requested Tammy take the 2nd pen because he wanted him to get his 1st for Milan. But my understanding was that Puli is the designated taker. We'll see, but it'd be a good choice because up to now for club and country... he's never missed.
At the beginning of last season I tried to explain that Pulisic is going to outscore Leao because he knows where to be. Got so much hate hahaha. He listened to Frank Lampard and he understands how to make runs and where to be to get goals and assists. Chelsea brought in a lot of flashy ball dribblers that won't be as productive as Pulisic in terms of scoring.
Reijnders is the biggest hit of the new management. He's on his way to becoming (already has in my eyes) a club star joining Theo, Rafa and Mike. The guy is our metronome - if he suffers, our whole midfield suffers. Hope he stays with us for a long time. We can't afford to keep losing quality midfielders.
Good for the players self-esteem, Tammy Abraham was clearly a nice addition to the squad (even defending during the game) but why did’n we score anymore during the last 60 minutes?
Fofana is definitely our new Kessie. Watch some old videos of Kessie and watch the match from Fofana. They’re not identical but they’re very similar. Fofana knows how to cover the back line, something we haven’t had in forever. He knows how to patrol just above the defensive line which will be invaluable in tougher matches. He can also carry the ball well and hit a decent pass. These were all the things Kessie did that made our midfield solid. If Fofana’s form stays good we will have a solid midfield this season
Flipping Reijnders and RLC’s positions was actually a great call. Hope it continues. Agree about Tammy just being the center forward Milan needed. Also agree about Puli needing to be consistent in the bigger games (maybe Lazio where he drew like 3 red cards was the “biggest” match where he was really good).
our defensive structure still looked very bad way to many spaces behind our midfield and our defense that even a horrible team like venezia exposed also im not even gonna talk about our RB they somehow managed to get a worst player than calabria
I was thinking about it during the match and comparing the squad that won the title and this squad and it’s very interesting. The only starters that remain from the title winning season are Maignan, Tomori, Theo, Bennacer and Leao. And Bennacer might not start if RLC performs consistently. There’s been a lot of changes and it’s hard to say the team is definitively better. Pulisic is 100% a better player than Alexis. But comparing RLC/Reijnders/Fofana to Bennacer/Tonali/Kessie is difficult. And Royal is hardly an upgrade from Calabria. Abraham/Morata I think is worth comparing to Zlatan/Giroud especially considering Zlatan was injured most of that season. If we can get the midfield firing on all cylinders, if Royal and Pavlovic can step up and become solid players, and if our strikers score plenty of goals then I think this Milan team can do very well. It’s also still quite a young team. Many of these players can be in their prime for another 3-5 years. With the quality of the players I think Milan can easily be champions and be a real contender in the UCL for years to come. Thats my optimistic take at least.
I really think having RLC and Fofana dictating the double pivote puts some fear in the opponent. They are big, string players. We have a lot of size in this team which is really intimidating.
12:44 this tweet kind of wrong, because if we have to talk about Leao, Theo and Maignan. We have to talk about Pulisic yes and also Bennacer and Reijnders, and now it's time to start talking about Pavlović too and Gabbia which i actually see him better than Tomori
I'm really worried about that Liverpool game, our right is gonna let us down all game. No way Royal or Calabria deals with their wingers pressing them for a full 90, they're so leaky I'm praying they dont let in at least 2. Pulisic and Leao gonna be the keys to getting us goals. ✊🏼
Kush, can you move the curtain behind your head to the left a little? It cuts your head down in and your background down in the middle. That is not preferable.
I had decided that the outcome of this match will not give me any hope. That team I feel is still in trouble against any good team . The fighting spirit I know Milan for is no longer there . I will either laugh or cry after Juventus match . Milan needs a new right back ,can promote all we need from youth sector and a ball player like Tijani as backup or pair up.... We can't always play the same way a good coach will tear us apart
I don't know if Fonseca benching Leao was a bad choice. If the result was Leao finally playing with some fire in his eyes I can't be mad at the choice. If Leao want to be "the guy" he has to understand the criticism he gets when he starts just coasting through games. This is the year that will tell us if he is truly world class as he is reaching prime years.
Still think Milan should switch to 4-3-3 with Fofana,reijnders and Isma. If Isma doesn't play we should still switch to 4-3-3. The overall game must be counter attacking. This team can do wonders I believe.
13:05 i agree pulisc has been great for us but he needs to step up in big games but i belive emerson should get a red box he offer nothing in attack and the disallowed goal camed from that posision he was better but still not a good performance
Great win, but venezia was terrible. Im still very scared of our defensive fragility because Royale is just not good. Fofana also isn’t winning tackles and interceptions, so i pray our midfield doesn't get overun. Lets up we create chances and are clinical in the next 2 games.
Yes, Venezia were shook after that 1st goal. I have similar concerns about the defensive side of our play, the outcomes vs Liverpool and Inter will truly show where we stand in that department.
oh yea.. this is RLCs position.. why are we playing him in attacking midfield? glad we changed that for this match. RLCs best highlights show him in the defensive midfield position. in fact his best attacking phases are when he runs from deeper midfield and creates a wall up front where someone else like pulisic can use him as a protection while creating chances.
"Iss team ka aukad samajh mein aa gaya I hope Kush bro..... hope Fonseca is fired after the Derby". I am stopping supporting this club financially. No more Jerseys. No more any of my hard-earned money spent on this used car business of a foodball club"". Pool has a 100%n record at San Siro!!! Let that sink in.
Can we just talk about Emerson. Man.... what a waste of 20mil. This guy is so useless that he makes Calabria look like prime Cafu and thats concerning. Cant even have a good game against newly promoted side.
@@tucker8364 we clearly didnt watch the same game then. He wasnt having any impact on our attack and in the defence he had bad positioning and was awful. Just imagine that performance against inter or liverpool or real. God help us honestly
@@theguyspodcast5782 you can’t be giving props for just one game. Seriously against a weak side like this. He needs to pass the main tests. Liverpool. Inter. Then I make my comments.
People still need too stop protecting leao like he is untouchable… dude played like ass for 3 games straight and deserved too be dropped… nobody on this squad is untouchable if they are constantly playing. Like ass
Oh boy here we go a couple of haters get your heads out of your asses and enjoy the season nothing pisses me off more than some dummy saying pulishit specially with a name like that you must have got bullied as a little kid 😂
Pulisic has horrible decision making he did not shine lol he only shows up against small teams when it’s time to step up he can never create or draw defenders or should I say it’s rare he does put in some good crosses every now then thou but far from shining
🤔It’s more like his teammates have horrible decision making skills. Christian if anything has always had great football IQ How so? It may seem like it is Christian who is the problem when it comes to his decision making skills but it’s actually quite the opposite Because when Christian is doing great off the ball work or when he’s making good runs it is his teammates who fail to understand what his Intentions are which result in bad passes where nobody is there to receive the ball, turn overs because he is able to anticipate plays but the others can’t so it results in miscommunications which lead to the opposition getting the ball But I do agree he far too often shows up more when it’s lower opposition than when they face the better opponents. He needs to prove that he is capable of playing against the best more often because he’s done it before just not as much as people would like to see.
@@G10-n7f Yh the difference is thou those teammates are in a stint but they deserve to be Thier Pulisic is the opposite he’s not in a stint this is just his peak he’s only thier because of the American owners and thier propaganda he did nothing deserve if of a move to Milan the only reason he even starts is because of this absolute dumpster that is chukaweze if he stops fkn around and finds his form Pulisic is going straight to the bench and it’s not that his team doesn’t understand him lol it’s that he makes idiotic decisions it’s ridiculous sometimes guy is a winger and can rarely drag defenders to open up the middle all he does is a couple step overs and crosses lol he does put in some good crosses every now and then thou I’ll give him that and most of his goals are off the work of his teammates back or tap ins
@@sadfoohours_yt3555 it’s obvious the owners acquired Pulisic for the sales but any owner would have done that. When it comes to Sam and Pulisic he wouldn’t get relegated to the bench he offers a lot to the team along with the fact he’s two footed Leao even pointed that out Sam sometimes gets criticized for being to predictable as long as Pulisic continues to contribute he’ll start. Pulisic is tactically ahead of lot of his teammates especially off the ball the commentators say it, all his coaches have said he has a high football IQ. You can say all he does is tap ins but again that requires high IQ to be able to anticipate two to three steps ahead, if it was so easy then why aren’t his teammates doing it instead of him. Another indication is if he is so useless then why was he able to standout individually against Real Madrid during his Dortmund days and again with Chelsea.
Im happy for the win but i want them to show us they can do it also with big teams becouse the past 3 games didn't make us feel solid at all, btw the penalty kickers i think is Theo (in the past years he use to take it when Giroud wasn't on the field) then Pulisic, i think Theo just did leave him to pulisic and then they did leave it again to Abraham for give him his first goal, i think Theo is a bit more colder and shoot with more power then Pulisic but if Pulisic want to take it still ok i trust Pulisic
I think during the second half, pulisic started playing a lot more centrally, almost like a CM or CAM . I believe the transition of Puli to cam and chukwueze to rw might happen soon but it will be difficult to bench one of the midfielders after today's performance Anyways Forza milan ❤
Loftus Cheek either blocked me from his Instagram account or he just closed his account before the game. What that means is that he felt the bad messages he received for his poor performances (mine was not mean though) and stepped up his game
Pulisic loves to play big teams from PL, he has played very well against Liverpool..let’s hope it continues.
Pulisic was only matched in stats by Leao and Dybala in ALL of SERIE A last season... That speaks for itself, and he's continued that form into this season. Happy Tammy got a goal and is assimilating well!

Tammy looked dangerous. He can redeem himself at Milan and I am against hosnsogning but he is welcome to shut us all up

Inter cannot tick without him, Dimarco will not be able to play forward as much as he wants with this new Milan and it will cost them dearly if he does. Fofana and Loftus Cheek will run rampant in their midfield and Inter will struggle to retain possession and play the football they like. I say we beat them 2-0 in game that could easily see them beaten by 5 or more goals. Inzaghi will be humiliated, as he should have never coached inter to begin with as an AC Milan Legend.
Lastly FORZA MILAN!!!!’
High quality content as always!
I think the switch Fonseca made to Rienders and RLC positional duties was brilliant, played to both players strengths. Gutsy call. 👍
Onto Liverpool now 🤞🏻❤🖤❤🖤
Ruben Loftus cheek played also well..
I imagine a scenario where Milan play 442. With Tammy and Morata paring up front. Leao and pulisic deeper on the wings. Fofana and reijnders in the center and the defense. I’ll like to see that experiment play out.
I must've been really late to notice this after being your subscriber for quite sometime but I noticed that you lights in the background turn colors whenever it be "Green box" or "Red box" and you deserve a lot of credit for the quality of these videos.
bro.. Reijnders deserves a GOLD BOX. Ever since he first touched the ball in a Milan shirt he's done so well. hes not perfect. but his performances are consistent. Consistency is something I think increases player value in the trasnfer market and thats a huge plus for us. He's going to make us cry if we were ever forced to sell him.
Such relief, I never thought I would be so nervous for Venezia.
02:55 gotta thank Mourinho for that. back in his Chelsea day, Tammy did so little pressings on any part of the pitch.
That’s great insight, I never connected that. Thanks for sharing
Nottingham Forest under Nuno plays a very counter attacking style. They had to absorb A LOT of Liverpool pressure and then hit on the counter with speed.
Based on the results, Fonseca did *exactly* what was needed when he benched Theo and Leao. The point of such a "dramatic" move is that they *weren't* playing with any kind of desire or fire. After that, they've been playing as they should. If they put together half of Puli's consistent effort desire and effectiveness over an extended period... then I'll say they've completely learned the lesson. But clearly hand holding and coddling is *not* what those 2 players need.
Now we need to see this kind of performance against teams that aee actually good 😉
I read that Leao requested Tammy take the 2nd pen because he wanted him to get his 1st for Milan.
But my understanding was that Puli is the designated taker. We'll see, but it'd be a good choice because up to now for club and country... he's never missed.
Bakayoko under gatuso was a phenomenal midfielders thank 4 remember him
At the beginning of last season I tried to explain that Pulisic is going to outscore Leao because he knows where to be. Got so much hate hahaha. He listened to Frank Lampard and he understands how to make runs and where to be to get goals and assists. Chelsea brought in a lot of flashy ball dribblers that won't be as productive as Pulisic in terms of scoring.
Reijnders is the biggest hit of the new management. He's on his way to becoming (already has in my eyes) a club star joining Theo, Rafa and Mike. The guy is our metronome - if he suffers, our whole midfield suffers. Hope he stays with us for a long time. We can't afford to keep losing quality midfielders.
Appreciate the bakayoko callback, he was brilliant in 2018
Good for the players self-esteem, Tammy Abraham was clearly a nice addition to the squad (even defending during the game) but why did’n we score anymore during the last 60 minutes?
Fofana is definitely our new Kessie. Watch some old videos of Kessie and watch the match from Fofana. They’re not identical but they’re very similar. Fofana knows how to cover the back line, something we haven’t had in forever. He knows how to patrol just above the defensive line which will be invaluable in tougher matches. He can also carry the ball well and hit a decent pass. These were all the things Kessie did that made our midfield solid. If Fofana’s form stays good we will have a solid midfield this season
Flipping Reijnders and RLC’s positions was actually a great call. Hope it continues. Agree about Tammy just being the center forward Milan needed.
Also agree about Puli needing to be consistent in the bigger games (maybe Lazio where he drew like 3 red cards was the “biggest” match where he was really good).
Tammy said Pulisic was the main pen taker. Makes sense he’s never missed a pen for club or country
our defensive structure still looked very bad way to many spaces behind our midfield and our defense that even a horrible team like venezia exposed also im not even gonna talk about our RB they somehow managed to get a worst player than calabria
Finally! We are back on track! Hope we can carry the momentum going into out first Champions League Match against Liverpool!
#forzamilan
Pulisic is definitely in the Theo, Rafa, Mike list for me
I was thinking about it during the match and comparing the squad that won the title and this squad and it’s very interesting. The only starters that remain from the title winning season are Maignan, Tomori, Theo, Bennacer and Leao. And Bennacer might not start if RLC performs consistently. There’s been a lot of changes and it’s hard to say the team is definitively better. Pulisic is 100% a better player than Alexis. But comparing RLC/Reijnders/Fofana to Bennacer/Tonali/Kessie is difficult. And Royal is hardly an upgrade from Calabria. Abraham/Morata I think is worth comparing to Zlatan/Giroud especially considering Zlatan was injured most of that season. If we can get the midfield firing on all cylinders, if Royal and Pavlovic can step up and become solid players, and if our strikers score plenty of goals then I think this Milan team can do very well. It’s also still quite a young team. Many of these players can be in their prime for another 3-5 years. With the quality of the players I think Milan can easily be champions and be a real contender in the UCL for years to come. Thats my optimistic take at least.
I really think having RLC and Fofana dictating the double pivote puts some fear in the opponent. They are big, string players. We have a lot of size in this team which is really intimidating.
Can we calm down, it was Venezia🤦🏽♂️ Let’s see how we do in the derby before we get excited
You’re fun
Yes, they won. It was a great game, but they need to be consistent with bigger teams and play like this or even better.
Missed this match!! Why are these matches at 12 in the night in India???❤
Finally a win! But will they be consistent 🤔
That's the key and how will they be against the big sides!
12:44 this tweet kind of wrong, because if we have to talk about Leao, Theo and Maignan. We have to talk about Pulisic yes and also Bennacer and Reijnders, and now it's time to start talking about Pavlović too and Gabbia which i actually see him better than Tomori
I'm really worried about that Liverpool game, our right is gonna let us down all game. No way Royal or Calabria deals with their wingers pressing them for a full 90, they're so leaky I'm praying they dont let in at least 2. Pulisic and Leao gonna be the keys to getting us goals. ✊🏼
Kush, can you move the curtain behind your head to the left a little? It cuts your head down in and your background down in the middle. That is not preferable.
You'll see the change soon! 🙏🏼
We paid our dues after all these bum performances. The icing on the cake would've been if kush live watched it.
I had decided that the outcome of this match will not give me any hope. That team I feel is still in trouble against any good team . The fighting spirit I know Milan for is no longer there .
I will either laugh or cry after Juventus match .
Milan needs a new right back ,can promote all we need from youth sector and a ball player like Tijani as backup or pair up....
We can't always play the same way a good coach will tear us apart
I don't know if Fonseca benching Leao was a bad choice. If the result was Leao finally playing with some fire in his eyes I can't be mad at the choice. If Leao want to be "the guy" he has to understand the criticism he gets when he starts just coasting through games. This is the year that will tell us if he is truly world class as he is reaching prime years.
Told ya! Two goals clear 😢
Still think Milan should switch to 4-3-3 with Fofana,reijnders and Isma. If Isma doesn't play we should still switch to 4-3-3. The overall game must be counter attacking. This team can do wonders I believe.
13:05 i agree pulisc has been great for us but he needs to step up in big games but i belive emerson should get a red box he offer nothing in attack and the disallowed goal camed from that posision he was better but still not a good performance
I think Fofanas biggest issue as of today is that he is sloppy in his passing. This attribute has to improve in the next games!
Leao played so much better! Might be the best player in the league.
Pulisic is on pace for 50 goal contributions lol
I think it’s pulisic he’s really good with penalties he is also the USMNT penalty taker
Was it Puli who gave Tammy that second Penalty? Do we know who our #1 pk guy is?
I think a conversation about Emerson Royal is on hold...
Not sure why he left Pulisic in until the 78th minute with a 4-0 lead and Liverpool game only 3 days away. I would have taken him out at halftime.
God milans bar is so low smh. Hope tammy gets more playing time tho
Great win, but venezia was terrible. Im still very scared of our defensive fragility because Royale is just not good. Fofana also isn’t winning tackles and interceptions, so i pray our midfield doesn't get overun. Lets up we create chances and are clinical in the next 2 games.
Yes, Venezia were shook after that 1st goal. I have similar concerns about the defensive side of our play, the outcomes vs Liverpool and Inter will truly show where we stand in that department.
oh yea.. this is RLCs position.. why are we playing him in attacking midfield? glad we changed that for this match. RLCs best highlights show him in the defensive midfield position. in fact his best attacking phases are when he runs from deeper midfield and creates a wall up front where someone else like pulisic can use him as a protection while creating chances.
Dude...the match was against the 20th placed team. ... we will see against pool and Inter.
"Iss team ka aukad samajh mein aa gaya I hope Kush bro..... hope Fonseca is fired after the Derby". I am stopping supporting this club financially. No more Jerseys. No more any of my hard-earned money spent on this used car business of a foodball club"". Pool has a 100%n record at San Siro!!! Let that sink in.
Loftus cheek is too slow on the ball
This analysis was way too positive considering the bad start of the season
I’ll reserve my comments about the green and red boxes till we face inter.
Kush kush, it just venezia, next week i can give prediction, you will get angry by milan performances vs liverpool and inter
Pin this comment
Liverpool just lost to Nottingham Forest. Let that sink in
@@obainomilano See, next will be loss against INTER
Leao to play good needs to be punished somehow 🤦🏽🤦🏾🤦🏾
What about gabbia?😊
I wouldn’t call it dominance though. Still allot of work to do
Is it not better we play Jimenez in Right Back? The man is better than these clowns currently playing in that position.
no way pulisic is worth 40 million (according to transfermarkt)
Can we just talk about Emerson. Man.... what a waste of 20mil. This guy is so useless that he makes Calabria look like prime Cafu and thats concerning. Cant even have a good game against newly promoted side.
bro he acc didnt play that bad idk what your talking about
@@tucker8364 we clearly didnt watch the same game then. He wasnt having any impact on our attack and in the defence he had bad positioning and was awful. Just imagine that performance against inter or liverpool or real. God help us honestly
@@johncena-df8qu if he was out of positioned, wouldve we conceded multiple times? and also, just so you know i only watched the second half
Reijnders s a great player but maybe not a great shooter
Did not anyone see the performance Emerson?! I am really happy the 4-0, but Emerson's performance was... just poor...
I don’t think pulisic is there yet though.
Smh y’all just can’t give him his props and I don’t understand
@@theguyspodcast5782 you can’t be giving props for just one game. Seriously against a weak side like this. He needs to pass the main tests. Liverpool. Inter. Then I make my comments.
@@D-UndeadHe scored against Liverpool. Lowkey the best player today besides Abraham
Milan don't deserve RLC.
People still need too stop protecting leao like he is untouchable… dude played like ass for 3 games straight and deserved too be dropped… nobody on this squad is untouchable if they are constantly playing. Like ass
Venezia was a easy win now we need to win against Inter and Liverpool
RLC is not a defensive player, and he will get exposed next 2 games
puliSHIT score against SMALL teams, NEVER versus inter, juve or ucl big matches 🙄
Not to mention his horrible decision making
Oh boy here we go a couple of haters get your heads out of your asses and enjoy the season nothing pisses me off more than some dummy saying pulishit specially with a name like that you must have got bullied as a little kid 😂
He scored against the best teams in the EPL and scored against Madrid and won Champions 🤦🏻♂️
th-cam.com/video/9GgWzv6KNvk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=h2f4jVUCNSlom0cc
Clown Comment. 🤡
Pulisic has horrible decision making he did not shine lol he only shows up against small teams when it’s time to step up he can never create or draw defenders or should I say it’s rare he does put in some good crosses every now then thou but far from shining
🤔It’s more like his teammates have horrible decision making skills. Christian if anything has always had great football IQ
How so?
It may seem like it is Christian who is the problem when it comes to his decision making skills but it’s actually quite the opposite
Because when Christian is doing great off the ball work or when he’s making good runs it is his teammates who fail to understand what his
Intentions are which result in bad passes where nobody is there to receive the ball, turn overs because he is able to anticipate plays but the others
can’t so it results in miscommunications which lead to the opposition getting the ball
But I do agree he far too often shows up more when it’s lower opposition than when they face the better opponents.
He needs to prove that he is capable of playing against the best more often because he’s done it before just not as much as people would like to see.
0 ball knowledge
@@G10-n7f Yh the difference is thou those teammates are in a stint but they deserve to be Thier Pulisic is the opposite he’s not in a stint this is just his peak he’s only thier because of the American owners and thier propaganda he did nothing deserve if of a move to Milan the only reason he even starts is because of this absolute dumpster that is chukaweze if he stops fkn around and finds his form Pulisic is going straight to the bench and it’s not that his team doesn’t understand him lol it’s that he makes idiotic decisions it’s ridiculous sometimes guy is a winger and can rarely drag defenders to open up the middle all he does is a couple step overs and crosses lol he does put in some good crosses every now and then thou I’ll give him that and most of his goals are off the work of his teammates back or tap ins
@@sadfoohours_yt3555 it’s obvious the owners acquired Pulisic for the sales but any owner would have done that. When it comes to Sam and Pulisic he wouldn’t get relegated to the bench he offers a lot to the team along with the fact he’s two footed Leao even pointed that out Sam sometimes gets criticized for being to predictable as long as Pulisic continues to contribute he’ll start.
Pulisic is tactically ahead of lot of his teammates especially off the ball the commentators say it, all his coaches have said he has a high football IQ. You can say all he does is tap ins but again that requires high IQ to be able to anticipate two to three steps ahead, if it was so easy then why aren’t his teammates doing it instead of him.
Another indication is if he is so useless then why was he able to standout individually against Real Madrid during his Dortmund days and again with Chelsea.
Venezia goalkeeper: bruh. Even a poor goalkeeper should have stopped that. He has the reaction time of a snail.
Tammy and Pulisic are homies from Shiiitshow Chelsea
Im happy for the win but i want them to show us they can do it also with big teams becouse the past 3 games didn't make us feel solid at all, btw the penalty kickers i think is Theo (in the past years he use to take it when Giroud wasn't on the field) then Pulisic, i think Theo just did leave him to pulisic and then they did leave it again to Abraham for give him his first goal, i think Theo is a bit more colder and shoot with more power then Pulisic but if Pulisic want to take it still ok i trust Pulisic
I think during the second half, pulisic started playing a lot more centrally, almost like a CM or CAM .
I believe the transition of Puli to cam and chukwueze to rw might happen soon but it will be difficult to bench one of the midfielders after today's performance
Anyways Forza milan ❤
Loftus Cheek either blocked me from his Instagram account or he just closed his account before the game. What that means is that he felt the bad messages he received for his poor performances (mine was not mean though) and stepped up his game
