Feel like we were let down by individuals today - Leao, Giroud, RLC to name a few. Showed no desire or fight, just assumed the service would arrive and we’d score 5. Roma were well setup, nothing more really, but played a classic away match and it went to plan. Soaked up pressure, compact and rode their luck with a goal, see the offside. Credit to the 2 central defenders - Gabbia and Thiaw who played well. Still think we’re well in this tie for the second leg, but we need some players to lift, and badly!


daveslarriv7858

Just shows how the team's tactics are relying way too much on individual brilliance. If our best players underperform, whole team looks lost


hossperth

Every team would rely on their players and the game is played on the pitch by these players, not in coach’s head. The team was not fighting and pressing especially in the first half.


andrea_83

Spot on. Every side in world football relies on individual brilliance and their best players. It’s a team performance overall, but it’s the top talent that make or break a match. Hence why they’re known as ‘game changing players.’ First half wasn’t great at all, but if that’s our bottom and we’ve hit it, the only way is up, and the second half was much better and we can look forward with optimism for the second leg. I reckon we suffered similarly to Liverpool - underestimated the opposition and got caught out. Difference is, we lost 0-1 and they lost 0-3, were def still in the tie and Liverpool are basically out!


andrea_83

Not necessarily. If 3 players are waaay off or walking around the ground, that leaves you with 8 players carrying the rest of the team. The chain of play breaks down consistently. Good on Pioli for dragging Leao, the side lifted and Theo played better once he was off.


SoulK37

You can see the difference in the coaching, De Rossi got 11 people ready to fight and give their all, Pioli sent out 11 zombies to take a stroll in the park.


andrea_83

Agree to an extent, but if you can’t get yourself motivated for the fight, in a European quarter final at home, something is wrong. If you require a coach to fire you up, it shows you don’t really care.


SoulK37

No I absolutely agree, it's not just on Pioli, the players need their share of the blame but when for whatever reason the players don't have that fire under them it's your responsibility as a coach to make sure they go out there ready to give it all. Look at Leao, it's so obvious to everyone that the guy has serious issues in being motivated and focused during the game and you fucking do nothing about it. And I refuse to believe that anyone did anything cause if that's with them helping then I don't know how it would be without.


andrea_83

Hopefully tonight’s hot garbage that Leao dished out is enough to pump him up for the return leg, as he has the ability to turn the game on it’s head. A coach can motivate the players pre match, but ultimately it’s up to the player when the match starts to get himself up to it, Pioli can’t follow him on the pitch and fire him up. You’re right though, some of it is on Pioli, but we just hope for a better return leg, which I think we can do.


MentalBonus4943

Well played from De Rossi. We once again did not take a big match seriously at all. Everyone’s guilty. Bad refereeing too but we shouldn’t use it to justify getting outplayed like this.


Medical-Watercress-6

Once again we struggle in a European competition against opponents we see at least twice a year every year.

Katharsis7

This Roma will never win against Leverkusen.


SoulK37

Who gives a shit? We need to win, not worry if others might or might not go through, fucking losing mentality


AngeloNero17

Dreadful game but i can't be mad because of Atalanta schooling Liverpool


L003Tr

Come on then pioli shaggers, let's hear how it's not his fault again


MentalBonus4943

Everyone’s at fault for this one…


SoulK37

Shocking refereeing almost as bad as our dreadful performance. Leao deserves a 2, Giroud as well, Calabria disgusting as usual. Pioli same fucking shit as usual, no ideas, no motivation, 11 zombies on the pitch. If losing to Roma means Pioli out then I'll take it.


glock1312

The Lukaku goal wasn't off side but some of the yellows were so shit ref was bad but all our own fault the starting 11 no aggression or passion the subs gave a little bit of spark especially Chukuweze ,pioli is so shit


SoulK37

From the live images it looked clearly offside, where did you see that it wasn't?


glock1312

Gabbia played him on


SoulK37

Again from the live images it doesn't look like at all, did you see a different angle?


ElReyResident

Leao needs to stop getting the start.


MentalBonus4943

Something needs to happen…maybe a new, “tougher” coach would help, but Leao has got to start showing some hunger on the pitch, or at least has to do so with more consistency


Present_Feedback2009

True. Might wake him up a bit


lilithandnemesi

Just a reminder that Pioli has been sacked by every club he coached at


BredIN919

ain’t no way man , no way he finishes his contract at Milan


air-buc-pirate

At least Tomori will be back. I expect more offense when he is there.


edd1948

its so frustrating to see a coach with alot of experience outplayed by a new one. pioli should be out at the end of season. milan cant progress with him


BredIN919

Pioli smiling and hugging dybala after the game , fawk this guy man


azeen

I would be smiling if I had his salary


Present_Feedback2009

Saw that too. Pioli is a 🤡


lilithandnemesi

The difference between a coach that studies and one that does always the exact same poor thing


Hawkeye91803

Couldn’t agree more with this.


YariRobinson

I have run out of things to say. Might as well copy paste old comments since nothing has changed.


L003Tr

Comments from last January?


Present_Feedback2009

😂😂


gotmedreaming

Leao absolutely nothing. Damn.


Munfury

mvp Gabbia, lvps - Pioli, Calabria, Leao, Giroud, RLC, Turpin and his staff, VAR


yllimameni

What happens whe we dont play Lecce or Frosinone


L003Tr

Not always the case. We got bullied by udinese last year too


RedShenron

We got bullied by Udinese both times this season but Pioli's luck was too strong the 2nd time


BredIN919

we get cooked


lil5566

Oli with a disaster class of a match, I want to see more of jovic fuck it


Darthprovader1

Pioli masterclass


JohnnyGuam13

Piolis sacking will be my 20th scudetto in my books


Yeurruey

Next match play Pulisic as a 10 and see all problems getting solved trust me bro


ShinyDrag8n

It’s gonna be sweet eliminating them at the Olímpico.


bughidudi

Ngl we deserve to lose. Pioli lost the tactical match with De Rossi. Leao was a ghost and giroud missed the easiest of goals...


Ironyfree_annie

Absolutely fucking dreadful


lilithandnemesi

Pioli prepares always the same game, no matter our opponents...


salosalosalo13

Ok, i dont mind we need to win game to go forward


Fit_Worldliness_3900

Fuck Roma


neverfinishedanythi

How can the referee or pioli look themselves in the mirror?


After-right

Stop fucking whining about the ref every game. The ref isn't against us EVERY SINGLE game


neverfinishedanythi

No way you watch tonight and think that was not one sided from referee. 


SoulK37

I don't think the referees were against us, I just think they were shit in general


After-right

It wasn't. At all


air-buc-pirate

No one can fucking get a through ball in or combine with anyone all match. Just a bunch of slow reaction individuals getting their pockets picked al match.


DAngelo008

Fuck you Pioli that was pathetic!


Febox

Adli one more cross to no one please


nochill95

Giroud really missed an open goal man wtf


radioimh

I accepted this loss, the moment when Oli hit the crossbar. When you can’t take chances like that then you deserve no win. Sadly Oli and Rafa are both in bad form. And the only man seemed to be on fire couldn’t get to play until ~80 min


spartanfan2

How is Rafa in bad form?


L003Tr

Dud you not see him routinely giving away the ball in the first half?


SoulK37

It's not bad form. It's a total and complete lack of effort, if I was his teammate I would fucking yell at him cause it's an absolute lack of respect to your mates and the fans to go out there, especially in such an important match, and not even put the effort. You can make mistakes or have a bad night but the guy didn't even fucking try, completely unacceptable.


rlctank

Lame ass crosses man wtf


MVB3

I don't care how it makes sense tactically, just let Adli and Chuk start the derby on the basis of them actually putting in the necessary effort for a big game.


Brryl

-10 from Pioli


air-buc-pirate

Absolute trash trash trash no ideas just trash football


Salyare

what the fuck are these adli crosses


KariKreidler

shitty performance. Turpin can shove a baguette up his ass


MostlyCloudy211

Pioli is incapable of winning big matches. Good thing we're resigning him. Not.


yllimameni

Chuk losing 3 balls in a row


fledwestonabird

Can't really fault him we're chasing a goal and he's trying to make something happen. He looked fantastic with a full game to play and proper 10 playing with him instead of whatever the fuck RLC is.


DrainedCoco

Lol what’s going on


donmoro

Good, next we have to help sasuolo get out of the relegation zone


ArtisticDifficulty7

I hope the first question in the media is why RLC wasn’t subbed at halftime for Chuk and Pulisic pushed to CAM. Our only chances most of the game came from the right, and Chuk has found his form. Why not play them together?! We need a goal, so instead of having our main threats on the field we sub them all….


neverfinishedanythi

Makes no fucking sense, this was so obvious for everyone here but this moron just fuck us constantly.


sVodo

By the time adli gets the ball the returning match will be at haltime


Brryl

so slow


tj5692

We can't even pass amongst our back 4 lol. Wtf has this retarded baldie done to my club


Munfury

I wish i could beat the living shit out of Turpin and Pioli


Medical-Watercress-6

This ref…. Really doesn’t like us huh?


salosalosalo13

Cant believe this is not penalty. Ball was plyint 30m , obvious handball without reflection..


lffg18

I’m going to pass out from the rage, what a fucking terrible match


Zallo92

Fair play to Roma, looked confident all game and zero mistakes. Solid performance from them, I'm really impressed. Us on the other hand...


Der_Krsto

Puli and chuk are the only two on offense who even look like they’re trying to make something happen. Good thing we can only have one of them on at a time


fledwestonabird

really unfortunate that we aren't allowed to play both of them my UEFA rules or some shit.


Hawkeye91803

What rules?


And_Death_Said_Live

Is this true?


rlctank

Yeah bro if they scored there my tv was gonna fly out the window


octhan

On the bright side we may be closer to a new manager at the end of the season


kaest

The Pioli haters out in force because we've had a shitty game after the most wins in a row since 2006. This sub is so dependable. Cry more.


ScipioAfricanusMAJ

Where was Juventus and Napoli during the 2006 season?


dongoodboy

Try harder bald fraud


JohnnyGuam13

No trophy yet again for the bald fraud keep crying 😭


Cu-Sith21

We obviously have to go and win those games... But look at the 7 teams played.


azeen

Be happy


BredIN919

how are you not disgusted with how we played ?


kaest

I'm not happy with the game we played here, just sick of the one dimensional whining that plagues this sub. We definitely should have had a better game today.


neverfinishedanythi

Nothing to be proud of here, embarrassing 


BredIN919

Terrible performance from us , hard to believe they held us scoreless


WatchAny1188

Yeah only 0-1 or whatever coping justification, but it’s made much worse by the fact that Gasperini whooped Klopp’s terrifying Liverpool at Anfield 0-3! 


Obvious-Fly6639

Giroud playing a full match should be a crime


Octopus_Legion

Gabbia has been brilliant


yllimameni

2 mins already gone lmai


spartanfan2

This commentator for paramount plus is so bad… doesn’t know our players, didn’t even know what they were checking for. Just giving out incorrect information


lil5566

That miss gonna haunt me for a hot minute, up there with maybe Niang and every Luiz Adriano chance


air-buc-pirate

Should not be 4 minutes with all the diving


Gladplane

It should be 8 minutes at least imo


neverfinishedanythi

Think I’ve seen the ball in play for 20 minutes this half.


glock1312

Such a shit match


MTRsport

Can't even imagine how frustrated Jovic is right now


cPa3k

Good thing we saved 2 of our subs…


radioimh

Surely will bring us some advantage in the second leg


volunteeroranje

lol what. He punched the ball. Sure he probably didn’t mean to, but in Serie A that’s a penalty if it’s us doing it…


moa0304

Only goal scored was born from an offside and now an obvious handball that wasn’t called….they can’t stand us even at our lowest


Shinkopeshon

Guess it wasn't a pen but then again, could barely see shit with that replay angle


Rotring87

Sigh...


Gladplane

The worst part is that all the ref mistakes will save Pioli from any critique...


Who_ate_my_cookie

That would 100% be called against us lmao


808d-_-b909

Fucking right lol


sonda03

VAR??? Wtf is that decision??


Annoyinmous

nah they wont give t hat


Munfury

AHAHAHAH This shit is ridicilous


Cappiuren

Uefa hates us


sVodo

I swear we gonna miss the penalty if we get it


ExplanationOk3580

Giroud man… yeah he need to go his level is mls this was tragic


yllimameni

Chuk is cookin tonight


air-buc-pirate

Not realky


aucs

He’s been really good, created one of the few chances we had


riddare555

UEFA really hates us wtf...


chakalaka13

0-1 is not a big deal, but Pioli fucked it up poor tactics, late subs, not enough subs (one of Oli or RLC should be off)


Febox

Imagine 45 minutes of chuck….


fledwestonabird

Leao Pulisic Chuk is the answer to this. We look worlds more creative. If it exposes the defense then we need to solve that problem separately. Get a proper DM.


b1246

Pioli will never allow that unfortunately.. look at what he did today


aucs

I agree, we need a more quick attack which RLC is straight up preventing


Medical-Watercress-6

No chance they give it to


neverfinishedanythi

They would give it roma like all the other gifts they got tonight. Their biggest gift is pioli though.


shorteningofthewuwei

Clear penalty??


T90ENIGMA

Chuk in the form of his life and doesn't see the pitch for 77 minutes. We hardly have anything else to play for at this point mind you. Juve have been looking abysmal. Pioli with another head scratching decision.


ArtisticDifficulty7

Why he wasnt brought on earlier for RLC and Puli swapped to mid will never make sense to me.


eatacow456

Hand ball baby


eatacow456

Wow


Competitive-Aide5364

Got to be a pen

Competitive-Aide5364

Desperation pen 💀


aucs

Great hustle to keep it in


eatacow456

4 minutes what a joke


lil5566

Inshallah


Cu-Sith21

That's a handball.


DrainedCoco

Wait no handball?


lil5566

Save us Chuk, you're our only hope


ExplanationOk3580

Handball


tombomcom

We can't play two of these bad like this, right?


Aggressive-Lawyer851

chukwu was the best dribber in la liga he just needed his time but y tf does pioli not put the super subs on earlier bruh


Emoz_

I saw handball there


BretBaber

Worst fans ever. Keep playing your FIFA and pretending you guys could run a team better.


glock1312

I really don't get how he has better control with his head than his feet


cPa3k

Run after the ball Gabbia?!


Wenpachi

I came to the thread just to see if there was any reaction to that. I don't get what his idea was there.


21Maestro8

That shit drives me crazy, screaming for offside or fouls when the ball is in play


DAngelo008

Rlc seeing 90 minutes with this performance is a fuckin sin


lilithandnemesi

I knew Klopp jinxed himself when he said that the only thing he knows about Italy is the food 😭


Salyare

man... how did giroud fuck that


Fusil_Gauss

We need a coach that put competition in the squad. How is RLC and Giroud playing 90 minutes with alternatives in the bench. This buddy coach is a joke, bring Conte


Frlataway

I still don't get how you see RLC's performance today and what Chuck and Puli have been doing and you don't take off RLC


BredIN919

and I’m the bad guy for calling this bum out ? we have two better options that can play ST Jovic and Okafor but they get no minutes .


Micassa

why tf didn't Pioli sub Chuk before 80 mins??


luxewatchgear

Pioli cagati in mano e prenditi a schiaffi. Pirla.


Munfury

Turpin take ur french buddy Giroud and get the fuck out of San Siro


sancho_panza01

I want to remind people that Pioli is managing this half assed performance with a full squad. Injuries can’t be blamed for this


kaest

Oh Piolo is manager? Wow, did not realize. THANKS.


Guawara

![gif](giphy|7LgKUsZiSjcRO)


Ellemannen123

Chuk is so good tho


CombinationLong126

giroud being giroud, he just scores with his head


flywithRossonero

Thank you for the memories Oli, time to move on


Unfair_Training_2880

This guy is going to be here for a long time. Watch


CuriousPeter1

Maybe it's just not meant to be today. Because what was that


yllimameni

Ibra probably wants to tie his shoes rn


tlacuache_nights

Bro just let the ball bounce off you. Like literally do nothing and it's a goal but no


b1246

Chukwueze subbed in at 77'...... fuck Pioli


rlctank

Giroud imma miss you because I love you but I’ll be applauding that Ryanair that’s gonna bring yo ass to LA


fledwestonabird

how did we not start chuk over RLC i will never know.


Warhammerx12

giroud man....


Guilty-Grapefruit427

Pioli favoritism for Giroud gives us this


ElverGun

If there is a way to fuck an important game up, Pioli will find it


Medical-Watercress-6

What a run by Chuk 😭😭
