There are other ways to play when you want to bench one of your best players for no reason (Max said he was fine and he came on like a lightning bolt). He's clearly fine.
We have flank players. Vlahovic played his whole life with wingers. Weah, illing, kostic, cambiaso can all play at the same time even. You can build up on the flanks instead of just saying HURR DURR MILIK IS YILDIZ NOW.
Why does it have to be a 9 playing in midfield? Why is a 9 impersonating our SS Chiesa, who is also regularly impersonating a SS btw.
What does this say about our chances next year in Europe when you actually have to rotate? So if Milik is hurt who plays up there? Gatti?
We shipped out Soule because the coach can't figure out how to put him on the pitch, remember?
These are FAULTS in his coaching ability. Well of course there's no other option but 532 vs Empoli. But of course
You can take a serie C coach and show him the players in training camp. He'll say ya no shit you should play Yildiz Vlahovic Chiesa no problem. Soule can come from the bench. Easy game.
nope not with Allegri. Imagine Yildiz didn't even fucking touch the pitch for half the season.
Wow, there is a lot of sensationalism here.
If Yildiz is not of fitness decision and tactical, then I agree it is a poor choice.
About changing the system. It seems foolish. We were on an excellent run playing 3-5-2, the players lack quality but do their job very well in the system Why completely change it for the benefit of Weah or Illing who have both shown very little? Can you imagine the reaction if we changed it and dropped points? Milik was the easiest way to replace Yildiz without disrupting too much. Lets be honest, if Milik doesn't get a red, we are almost certainly winning the game and nobody is going to be overly fussed about the decision.
I don't think Milik was ever going to slot in as a straight like for like with Chiesa or Yildiz. Nobody is expecting him to turn and dribble players. It is likely he'd play his usual role of coming short, holding the ball and laying it off to midfield runners. I've yet to see him play in midfield and don't see why he would today.
Clearly we'd rotate strikers if we play in Europe next year. Milik is 4th choice and I'd assume we'd hold onto Kean if we were in Europe at the moment. No we aren't going to play Gatti up front.
We shipped out Soule for a number of reasons. The main one would be to get him regular minutes and help him develop in a less pressured environment. It has worked out well and we'll get a much better player when he returns. I don't think many if anyone was against him going out on loan.
I hope we see Yildiz, Chiesa and Vlahovic together but we need them all to be fit to try it.
As I said before, it was home v Empoli. Without the early red, I doubt we'd have dropped points with the line-up.
