Pioli must have told the team To throw the game at half time

[–] cammyg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Serie A delivered today. This game and Cagliari v Frosinone were absolutely fantastic. What a day to be home hungover

[–] Quirrelwasachad@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Every milan Napoli match is exciting. One of the most entertaining fixtures in Europe.

[–] plesnotthis@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The next match is boring whenever someone says this

[–] birdsword@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Match of the weekend right? Fantastic for Serie A.

[–] CohoDolls@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Great game! Serie A need to institute a rule where Roma and Juve can't play in the sunday night games.

[–] IndecisionFuture@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The neutrals probably had a great time watching this, incredibile game with bangers from our side.

Not me tho, I'm busing writing a hate manifesto against Garcia and ADL based on that Zanoli for Politano sub because lindstrom doesn't exist and the SHITTY TRANSFER MARKET.

A draw that almost makes you feel like you could have won. Napoli lost a bit of intensity after the 2-2. Kvara is great and if not for Mike being also great we would be talking about a win and a Pioli masterclass.

Garcia merda sempre e comunque, wrong starting formation fixed later but not totally.

ANGUISSA LITERALLY WALKED AND HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT THE CENTER OF THE PENALTY AREA WHEN MAIGNAN DEFLECTED I FUCKING HATE HIM

[–] Three-Eyed-Raven421@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well played Napoli

[–] Bird_Man_Plz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

One of the best games of the season, could have been 4-4 easily

[–] sjekky@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wonderful game. Serie A Sunday Nights

[–] jersey-city-park@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Pioli’s subs were literally 0/10

[–] Hakujingomi@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Looking forward to Pioli explaining that one in the press conference. Intensity.

[–] ComradePoula@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You know how Bayern are famous for always wanting to score more even if they are 8-0 up?

We really lack that mentality. We always sit back after we're 2-0 up and hope for the best and it always backfires.

If the same Milan that played in the first half came out to play in the second half, this ends 5-0 to Milan. But we pressed the brakes like we always do and threw away a win.

At least u/AllegriLover got what he wanted.

Goddamn I actually feel exhausted from watching this match. So intense and entertaining. Serie A blockbuster.

[–] JokinHghar@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Look, whatever you think about Napoli or Milan, can we just agree that Juve merda?

[–] Eymerich_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is the single most insightful post I've ever read on Reddit.

[–] MaxParedes@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The Kvara-Calabria duel is becoming something kind of special

[–] aclurk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s disgustingly obvious that Pioli told the team to drop the intensity in the 2nd half and coast. Not the mentality of an elite club and another disappointing result against a top side. Milan is capable of outplaying the opposition but regularly fails to finish the job. I appreciate everything he’s done, but Pioli has not been good enough this season.

[–] Visazo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Holy crap my heart ... game of the season (so far)

[–] ComradePoula@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We always look great when we press high up the pitch and play on the counter. We don't look good when we sit back and play on the counter.

Really hope Pioli gets the memo here because it's really frustrating how often we do that.

I understand that we can't play with this type of intensity for 90 minutes especially with the injuries that we have. But 60 minutes today would have been enough. And most of the time it would be as well.
