One thing we did learn is that Terrorcciano does love himself a slide tackle.

[@andrewevalle3052]

And remember when loftus cheek scored 2 goals against bologna but then terraciano ruined it all by causing a penalty 😂

[@DrJTPhysio]

@@andrewevalle3052 it was either tackle or let the man go in on goal, for which he would have scored. Lose lose situation.

[@ohimats]

Are we there yet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Priceless!

[@mariusgherasim6793]

I've just been to Venice, great city, lots to visit, you have plenty reasons to look forward to it.

[@renechavez2252]

Pobega banter was class 🤣

[@rudolewis]

Does anyone know with absolute certainty that we're NOT keeping Pioli? Imagine all this talk about new manager here new manager there and the "new" manager we're getting is actually Stefano Pioli going into the last year of his contract.😂 My goodness!

[@CaiZiMeng]

Probably the most economical option out there lmao

[@user-pi4ih8rl2x]

Well potchettino is available now

[@fiyan6368]

Well he is getting fired mate

[@rudolewis]

@@fiyan6368 indeed he did.

[@aco7403]

Let's analyze some points: Conte is hardly mentioned in the media (in relation to his connection with Milan). They are talking about Fonseca, Van Bommel, and similar names. Why? My explanation is that they don't want the media to drag Conte and Milan into the spotlight and create a negative atmosphere within the club. Everyone surely remembers January when all the media wrote that Conte was the new coach. Honestly, I think everything was finalized back then. Emerson Royal - a player who was good while Conte was at Tottenham. Is Milan really so confused that they are waiting for Fonseca or someone else until the end of the season, or rather to remain uncertain until the very end?

[@user-pi4ih8rl2x]

Pulisic was the only one doing anything. Every good thing that happened went through him, and I was expecting him to just put it on cruise control.

[@caliber5457]

Maddie the part-timer

[@davenani5058]

so are you regretting not signing Openda now?

[@stephenburglass7101]

Shoudl We worry on Theo? I am worried but also think they do not want to do anything until all parties know the future. so I understand why not on this kit photo if we do not know but until I see him say he wants to leave then I will panic.

[@robertgillan3400]

Uft, 'some random Montero guy'..... when did you start watching Italian footie? That guy was a tremendous defender!!!

[@SempreMilan]

It was tongue in cheek 😂

[@milanistanorway]

Should go for De Zerbi or Conte imo, preferably Conte... But they probably wont, because we have no ambition in the club with the new owners...

[@fajko397]

Its embarrassing, that milan fans really have lost everything that is milan!!. They read an bit of rumor and flip out asking for protests and strikes. Like were was this when we were finishing 7th and shit. Now that we are decent and are promised that we are trying to be competitive and so far all the signs have been showing that they have kept their promises. We need to wait and stop bitching.

[@ziontrain7887]

I think De Zerbi or Conceição will be the next Milan coach. Milan already have a striker. His name is Noah Okafor and he has always played as a striker for RB Salzburg and the Swiss national team. Only Pioli keep forcing him to play on the wings. I will be very happy when Pioli leaves. I’m sick and tired of seeing Okafor at left wing, Musah at RB and RW, Loftus Cheek is not an AM he’s a Mezzala. And Pulisic is a left winger or attacking midfielder. Why not play these players to their strengths instead of playing them out of their natural position. Sigh. As for Inter, I hope they burn to the ground. 😂

[@brianmiller3098]

I agree with all of these but Pulisic. I think he can play RW just as effectively as LW. I think he is fine there.

[@marcuspierantozzi]

I've always said Pioli had very little to do with the new signings we got.. why would he deliberately buy these players and play them out of position. Our owner knows nothing about European football and Furlani and Moncada are just his "YES" men.

[@ziontrain7887]

@@marcuspierantozzi i disagree. Yes, that was the case when Maldini and Massara were still at Milan but once they left Pioli had more power and more input on the players we signed. So these current players are the players Pioli wanted.

[@andrewevalle3052]

I agree. Should have put okafor at striker he's almost a complete forward

[@l3rkmilan118]

Typical American take coming from an American, the amount of disrespect u give maldini. You must’ve forgotten he brought in all of your favorite players. Theo,leao,mike,tomori,tonali,benacer. Only oil has a level head on this show

[@l3rkmilan118]

On top of shitting on maldini for his lack luster signings(that anyone will make when they have a low budget) you bring up a point about haland flopping if he came to Milan and that we should give him time so the club can put the pieces together. Stick to one side of the coin

[@anthonytorgrude8702]

Comprehension skills on negative

[@ludaglava_girouda]

Americans even if Cardinale sent US to serie b he Will still be the best😂😂

[@tunerr1]

@anthonytorgrude8702 So when current management is "plugging holes" it's fine, but when Maldini plugged holes with players on relative low risk deals like FBT and Origi it's not? Pellegrino has done nothing and was loaned out, Luka Romero has the same salary as FBT. I'm not saying they'll be bad signings in the long run, but if you mock M&M for their bad signings, please do so also for the current management.

[@MartinoPuccio]

@@tunerr1origi was not low risk, that is a sizeable salary

[@rijeka8]

We don't have new coach because there is no clear hierarchy in Milan and there is no communication with fans - reason why football clubs exist in a first place. Management is waiting for the outcome of agreement with Pioli so they have clear idea how much they can strech with new coach. That means names like Conte or Tuchel are out, guys like De Zerbi, Motta or Conceicao also out because they have ambition and desire for winning...and that includes spending. Cardinale wants obedient puppy that won't ask too many questions but at the same time they have to get it right because CL spot is the only real goal of this club. If they get it wrong they'll need to spend more money and that is not an option. That's why Fonseca fits the bill, Lopetegui wasn't dismised over fans but because he asked too many questions and wanted guarantees. Once glorious Milan was converted into company that has sporting ambitions like Atalanta (no pun intented), salary caps, financial restricitons and owner that throws smokescreens and tells stories for kids like new stadium, titles or winning project. In words of GC: 'It's a big club and you ain't in it!' F... you Gerry!

[@caliber5457]

I think the Curva is being childish.
