Because what we've seen so far from Berna and Dybala was rather horrible and somehow painful. We gave chances to players who look totally clueless recently. Also, we needed to replace Bent in the second half much earlier imo.
Ok, here you go

Pinsoglio, Buffon, Arthur, Dybala, McKennie, Bernardeschi, Dragusin, Portanova

our bench, pick two who can replace Morata and CR

Yes Bentancur needed to get subbed off but the problem was there was nobody to bring on in that situation as Arthur sucks defensively and McKennie was needed to replace kulu. In hindsight maybe leave Kulu on, but we don’t know how his fitness is, maybe he didn’t have 90 minutes in his legs. He hasn’t played more than 80 minutes since September.

But were not discussing any of this if Dybala does a basic thing.

He needs to work on 3 things.

1) how to get his players to move into clinical positions and score. Practicing shooting, practice being put under pressure, practice when not under pressure.
2) build on defence, stay organised and don't dive in too quickly.
3) focus for 95 minutes. The team need to take the Fino alla fine saying not only as a club motto but as a pitch motto, even if we're 5-0 up we play till the end.

Ronaldo had an issue with his ankle and Morata called for the sub
Yep those are fine.

the bad calls we’re taking Kulu off and not taking Bentancur off. Benta was on a yellow and holding back from interceptions and tackles. If your defending a lead that’s the last thing you need one of your CMs doing

McKennie was fine. I would rather have Arthur than Berna tbh.
Arthur? Arthur as in soft as cheese Arthur? To replace who?
That's just ridiculuous. People praising Allegri for his subs for some reason, inventing all kinds of shit.
When the truth that argentianian superstar who wants 15 mln in a year decided to throw away a great game.

I thought the game plan was good and on most days without the same wastefulness in Hungary we'd be talking about a fairly routine win, 2-0 or 3-1 etc.

Game changed with fitness and he had few options so I won't be too critical here. He either threw Dybala on or played Ronaldo with a foot injury. He either put Berna on for Morata or it was Portanova. He either kept Bentancur on or put Arthur on who hasn't been well. No good choices.

Infuriating as the result was I don't think he had much room to manouevre.

I said in live i wouldve brought on Arthur but it seems Pirlo doesn't rate him defensively at all

I thought we looked better this game than we have most this season, we conceded too much to Lazio but I highly doubt that was Pirlo's plan. Even still we soaked most of the pressure until we switched off in that last throw in passage of play.

This season it is going to be a lot of ups and downs, Milan will go through their rough patch we just need to make sure we push through this and don't look back.

Growing pains for both our coach and players, a more experienced side would never drop points like we did today. We seriously need to get the league back on track though, we're already 3-4 points off Scudetto pace and thats with the 3 Napoli points gifted to us

Do you suggest replacing him and with whom?
I want to keep him, but why blame luck? He made the decision to come here, he made the subs and he knew the avalaible players. He chose the starting 11, he chose the formation and if his players ain't performing, it's on players. There's no luck in any of that, it's full of professionals where things just ain't working all the time.

I think this was probably his best game tactically, we countered Lazio and allowed them to have a bit more possession which doesn't suit them. They have shit all over us in most of our meetings in recent times. We are getting there it's just really frustrating to draw the way we did.

I still think our midfield defence and attack are too isolated from each other a lot of the time. We also look a lot more balanced when we have Frabotta in the team, I'm excited to see Sandro back (not the drunk version)

Not a great game by any means. Great first half only. We didn't even show up for 2nd half because we defended the score for 40 minutes.

Wrong game to criticize him. I could understand aftee Verona or Crotone, but Lazio away. Venue where we lost comfortably last season. We played very pragmatic, almost if Allegri was shouting instructions, Lazio never looked like they would get passed our first bank of four. I was impressed but then our bench was thin, CR got a knock, Morata started losing his breath and Dybala basically took a giant dump on everyones effort. Shout out to Rabiot and Benta as they dominated the middle. Very unfortunate draw but we are finally finding our step.

Yes, and we defended great. It was a great game. We should've put 3 past them. But then starting 11 tired/injured and Simone brought players with grinta and desire, and we had kids,2 keepers and superstars in Dybala and Berna. And it was not Berna who fucked up also. Paulo lost the ball maybe 3-4 times, dived, and then made a critical giveaway. You can't scheme this, there is no tactic for it, just a good fucking punch in a childish face.
