I missed the game due to a flight, however; I was able to keep up in the Rossoneri discord. Holy hell, it sounded brutal based off the replies and comments.

[@carella211]

The fact that multiple players have said they had no idea what they are supposed to do or what their responsibilites are on the pitch, is a much bigger problem than the injuries imo. And that comes down to Pioli. Unfortunately i don't think Cardinale cares and is only interested in flipping the club for a profit. So i think we are stuck with Pioli until new ownership arrives, and until then, we are diving straight into a new Banter era.

No bennecer for Newcastle because of his injury he wasn’t in initial squad list for group stage

[@marcuspierantozzi]

Won't make a difference...

[@FamiliaHomesInc.]

@@marcuspierantozzi he’s out best midfielder would give us the best chance but yes likely not.

[@marcuspierantozzi]

He hasn't played for so long. Rate him however you like he will be surrounded by players rated well below average. Tomori is full of mistakes, Theo looks lost these days, Chuk and Musah are just a joke..

[@varmooo]

I think Milan has arrived at a big crossroad tonight. A night of whats and Ifs. If you qualify I can see the motivation inside the squad to come back and get serious in Serie A and challenge. But incase of elimination I think players will start to give up, Pioli doubts will become even bigger and the gap would increase almost definitely. There's not a single available stop gap quality coaching options atm.

[@natewierzbicki9835]

AJ makes best point about us making champions league by winning Europa which is why we want to partake in it. But completely wrong about puli as a right wing only for Chelsea. He has been bake to perform on the right even at Dortmund but he was always playing where dembele, auba, and sancho wasn’t. Then at Chelsea when he started on the left he was second only to sadio mane in GA per 90 with one every 60 minutes. He only made 60 starts there or so in his 140 games. My point is that he is 100 percent a left winger but is so good with both feet that he can still create and score from the right. This year is a Perfect example in 13 games on the right he has 5 contributions one ever 2.6 games and the left is 3 in 5 one every 1.6 games. And per 90 those numbers look Even better! Pulisic has just gone so far above expectations and AC is able to play leao. But imagine if you expand that data. Pulisic would outperform leaos best season. Two reasons for this. He has the teams highest goal conversion percentage and makes better decisions in the final third and turns the ball over less around the 18.

[@delaine5432]

A weaker team for Dortmund could play better than the usual starters have played lately

[@MartinoPuccio]

hahahahha swole AJ would have stayed up, maddie is the best lol

[@Warum.2439]

Doesn’t matter if there are injuries, they should be playing better. Pioli is to blame! When they were healthy they couldn’t even look comfortable in the UCL

[@HistoryTeacherSteve]

Wait, are the founder members different than the $5 membership? I never hear my name (which is fine!), so I'm curious if there is something I'm missing lol

[@SempreMilan]

When you sign up, there’s a difference between monthly, yearly and founding member. But you’ve given us an idea, more to come….

[@HistoryTeacherSteve]

@@SempreMilan thanks for the clarification!

[@cr2397]

Dortmund cant take the game easy because their Coach is at risk. In germany there are a lot of critics at the Moment because Dortmund played shit in the league

[@ziontrain7887]

Milan will get lucky and finish 2nd behind Dortmund and Pioli will stay at Milan😂. Trust me on that.

[@zvros_641]

My takeaways: As good as Theo played against Frosinone at CB. He played equally as terrible today. He cannot be played there again without a true six. Pioli has to have lost the locker room. There is no way some of the most experienced and generally level headed players can be having outrageous red cards as seen recently with Giroud and Calabria. Cukuweze doesn’t seem like he is it and (it pains me to type this as an american) but pulisic does not have the quality to carry an elite European team on his own.

[@marcuspierantozzi]

Remember that the pressure on Calabria and Oli must be immense..they both fight to win games single handed. We can't blame Pioli. Fingers need to be pointed at Moncada and Furlani, and Cardinale! Why do you think we have 2 American players? To make the boss happy! The "quality" of player these fools have brought in is pathetic. I'd rather have seen Tonali stay.

@@marcuspierantozzi Pulisic is one of the best Players so far und Musah is a Talent. So what is your Point? To have more Shitty italians like Pobega or Calabria?

Dortmund do not have top spot secured because PSG will top on head to head

[@FamiliaHomesInc.]

PSG would not match Dortmund pts total with win

[@Flamboy0911]

@@FamiliaHomesInc. yes they would PSG would be on 10 points with win the same as Dortmund and then top group due to better head to head. Dortmund need a draw to top the group

[@FamiliaHomesInc.]

@@Flamboy0911 good call my mistake

[@Warum.2439]

Besides the assist, CDK was awful

[@stevewells696]

I'm not guna pretend pioli isn't responsible, but it's clear n obvious that ANY team in world football would not perform at a decent level if they had the injuries we continuously have. Unless we deal with this we're done season over. Why aren't a billion dollar company not deal with this it's a disgrace we love this club and deserve so much more

[@marcuspierantozzi]

People forget it wasn't long ago that everyone was singing "Piolis on fire".. he cant make miracles with useless players from small leagues. It was already a miracle we won the scudetto..

[@ibrahimismail577]

I don’t think Oliver you a true fan. Too pessimistic for our liking. We have an African proverb which says” If your vomits on you you don’t beat or throw the child away”. The team needs support please
