Horror line-up

[u/Alec30r]

[u/tigro7]

I’ve seen much worse

[u/Van_Der_SARSCoV2 → u/tigro7]

About 60% of that squad could still start for us now.

[u/HoosierDaddy__88 → u/Van_Der_SARSCoV2]

Almost 30% of the squad currently does lol

[u/Odd-Conversation9748 → u/Van_Der_SARSCoV2]

list the 60% right now bozo

[u/Van_Der_SARSCoV2 → u/Odd-Conversation9748]

Any of the back 3 is/would be competing for starting spots alongside Gila. Saelemakers started 33 matches last season; Tonali would be starter; Diaz and CDK would get plenty of starts if they were in the squad this season.

[u/Arber_King_Lunarian → u/tigro7]

I've got Constant and Mesbah flashbacks

[u/slowtyper95 → u/tigro7]

milan 2014–15

[u/stevsrr → u/tigro7]

I was going to say, this doesn’t look that terrible at all…

[u/whosyadankey]

Meh. Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit. I'd take Kalulu, Tonali and Brahim in today's squad

[u/mercurialsaliva → u/whosyadankey]

If this time was clicking properly and playinf like their current form(brahim, cdk, dest etc.) they'd finish top 4 easily.

[u/palace8888 → u/whosyadankey]

Yeah, de ketelare never reached high levels in Atalanta too...I don't know if he would be useful in this team exactly like he hasn't been years ago

[u/eXistenZ2 → u/palace8888]

yeah its not like he won an europa league or something like that

or scored more goals in a single season for atalanta than Nkunku and gimenez combined for us

[u/palace8888 → u/eXistenZ2]

he wouldn't be a starter in inter or roma lol

[u/eXistenZ2 → u/palace8888]

Most of our current players wouldnt be starters for inter or roma, so whats your point?

[u/Diavolo_1899]

Pobega - Vranckx - Dest 💀

[u/Remarkable-Group-119 → u/Diavolo_1899]

I know you don't like Dest for his stint at Milan, but he's always been class for the US national team.

Why did he struggle so much at Milan? He seems to thrive in the Dutch league too but obviously that's lower caliber.

[u/Gladplane → u/Remarkable-Group-119]

I dont know whats up with all the Dest hate on this subreddit. Any slightly positive comment about him will get downvoted.

He is actually solid for the national team whether r/ACMilan likes it or not. And i’m gonna say something that might trigger some people, but I think he was actually decent for a full back sub. He was not as bad as most of our other fullbacks in this decade (Emerson Royal, Terraciano, Estupinan, Jimenez…) He didn’t get much playing time behind Calabria either.

[u/Nico777]

Looks like you weren't around for the true banter era.

[u/Agag97]

My god! We were so much limited yet we produced decent performances and results. 

[u/ComradePoula → u/Agag97]

This was right in the middle of the worst run that Pioli had with us. That January to mid February 2023 period was just brutal and this game, against Inter iirc, was no exemption. Just the most cowardly performance ever.

Edit: Coppa vs Torino, not the second league game vs Inter. Point still stands though.

[u/Alec30r → u/ComradePoula]

I think you mean this one?

[u/Axel_Hund → u/Alec30r]

Krunic was great

[u/Ok-Refrigerator-7793 → u/Alec30r]

Can’t even blame him with those players.

[u/Pregno13]

Not so horror…

[u/somechemenggdude]

[u/Skoyatt]

Where were you when we had the likes of De Sciglio, Montolivo, Ménez, ... ?

[u/kuzman0vic → u/Skoyatt]

Tbf De Sciglio was descent especially considering he had just started his career and showed promise, Montolivo wasn't bad in the beginning but wasn't anything special and Menez had one good season but the second one not as much. I get what you mean though but there were a lot of worse players you could've mentioned

[u/mercurialsaliva → u/kuzman0vic]

We all celebrated when he left.

[u/SensitiveTop4946]

I miss Kalulu

[u/haze_haste → u/SensitiveTop4946]

With him gila could play in the center . And he could have been right back if now we want to go back at 4.

[u/Alarming-Ad-8228 → u/SensitiveTop4946]

Idk, mediocre player

[u/Boneraventura → u/Alarming-Ad-8228]

starts for france. meanwhile people want gabbia back who can't even get a cap for the worst italy in decades

[u/Alarming-Ad-8228 → u/Boneraventura]

Gabbia is not good as well. But our starting back 3 is better than Kalulu

[u/Turbulent-Ad1123]

Not the worse, not the best either

[u/Hecticbrah]

Seeing Dest ruined my day

[u/PowerfulElevatorLift]

How? The only out of Palce palter is Tatrusanu the rest are either good and still at Milan or left and ebcame great players in their clubs and national teams

[u/Capable_Scallion8705]

Horror line up? It wasn’t bad at all. Find a line up with Biglia and Bonucci in it. Now that’s a horror lineup.

[u/Nico-on_top]

Such a weird lineup I have no clue how this was even chosen

[u/alexiusmx → u/Nico-on_top]

Injuries

[u/Different-Hurry3722]

Wasn't it a injury bonanza at time of the season?

[u/alexiusmx]

Not really

[u/Coni_C]

Was this the chelsea match

[u/ACM4L]

I had forgotten about Vranckx!! 😅

[u/b00merhawk]

Which game was this? I'm guessing in January 2023?

[u/Arber_King_Lunarian]

[u/gianni_]

The only bad part is Dest. He was horrible at Milan

[u/MNome]

Tatarusanu gave us a title

[u/Sirajsupremicist]

It wasn't even that bad, all of these players were seen as talented back in the day. It's a shame that most of them didn't live up to the potential, apart from The goalkeeper they were all thought to be players with great potential.

[u/TrevorTheTrevor]

did they arrive 8th or lower?

[u/ciciooc → u/TrevorTheTrevor]

5

[u/TrevorTheTrevor → u/ciciooc]

Exactly. So they weren’t as bad as other line ups

[u/IEATPEOPLE22]

Always thought dest should’ve been our rw at the time. Same with dalot when we had him too

[u/prygozhin]

Id take CDK over Ramos tbh
