Guys do we think Pirlo position has become untenable?

I think he'll last the season but will be gone in the summer

Only a scudetto can save him. Should go back to managing grapevines I reckon

I'd tend to agree with that. Even a surprise run to the title wouldn't be enough. Squad needs a bit of a rebuild. Lots of expensive midfielders who aren't doing enough, Ronaldo was very poor tonight and does look in decline.

I think they'll be realising how big of a mistake getting rid of Allegri was when they had no intention of properly committing to Sarriball. The problem is who do they bring in if they sack Pirlo?

Wonder would they go back for Allegri

Hard to think of many free agents apart from him. Wonder would they chance someone like Simone Inzaghi maybe.

Wouldn't be a bad option for them, he did get them to 2 CL finals.

That would be really interesting appointment and I feel Inzaghi deserves that top job for the work he's done at Lazio

He has done a great job but I'm not sure their fans would be overly happy with him, not a former player and not won much. Maybe they'ed be happy with him if they don't win the Scudetto this year because that would be the focus next season.

Maybe they could go for someone like Nagelsmann? or even try to tempt Diego Simeone but he'd be difficult to get.

Maybe if they get relegated to Serie B again and they need someone to get them promoted.

How about Zidane

Looks in decline? No he doesn't. He completely relies on the creativity of others to spoon-feed him goals. Always has. When it just doesn't happen, complete inability to get on the ball and make something happen or contribute to general play. He's often been that lethargic when things aren't going well for the team. So he'll continue to score, and when he doesn't, will continue to be completely rubbish for those games. So nothing I would take from tonight shows he's in decline

I believe he'll get another year. No body could manage with the injuries etc he has.

How so? This is a decent Milan team but far from being where they once were. Inter pulling ahead will prompt them into action. Whatever about Juve being ahead, they were always ahead domestically. Inter going ahead will hurt. Last time Inter went ahead Milan gave a huge push to win the league. Inter winning the title, particularly beating them to open a gap, will hurt. Infact, it's the kick up the hole Milan needed.

And yes, Inter were handed a title that was never their's, and were left with no competition. At least 4 tainted titles to their name. Under Mourinho, they would of won the title regardless of the competition though in fairness. If Inter win the title, there will be big investment in Milan, just wait and see. Milan see Inter as a smaller team in their shadow, they won't tolerate Inter having more titles

"Milan punching above their weight considering their squad and team. Reputation and history carrying them at the moment, the weight of expectation, so they just about continue to perform above their station. A Napoli or Roma in their position would of wilted long ago"

Milan squad is easily as good as those below so cant see how they are punching. Weight of expectation has been a problem not driver fr this team who have been way better in empty stadia

"They've a good foundation to build off though. They'll be back at Europe's elite soon enough, Inter now have money so Milan will magically find the funds to compete."

Sunning are going bankrupt and Milan are owned by a US hedgefund who will not be inclined to magic up money or blow it just to chase Inter

"Inter have 18 titles, 14 really though. Bar 2010, 4 titles handed to them from 05-09. Still, Milan will pay whatever cost to keep up if Inter get 19. Champions League needs (AC) Milan back. Far poorer place without them"

Not Inters fault Juve cheated. There are no tainted titles Inter topped the league end of

11-03-2021 08:41AM

Except Inter cheated more

Very lucky to win that but some header by Martínez

Mr.Nice Guy · 14-03-2021 04:00PM

That could prove to be a massive result. Pressure on Milan to beat Napoli now.

Am I the only one wondering how the **** wasnt that a peno for Milan

Headshot · 14-03-2021 09:43PM

That's Milan's dream of the Scudetto finished but they need to concentrate on a CL spot and that is very worrying with their injuries

It wasn't strong contact but there was still contact. I'm surprised it wasn't given.

Edit: Bad loss for Milan but that squad has been decimated with injuries.

Securing top 3 has to be the goal now. Europa league would be nice but it's too tricky to be throwing everything at it

Mr.Nice Guy · 14-03-2021 10:14PM

Looking very good for Inter now. It's in their hands. I expect Juve to be stubborn and make them work for it seeing as they're not in Europe any more. Penultimate game of the season is Juve vs Inter, so I'm sure Pirlo is hoping they can claw themselves to within touching distance for that. Going to be a fun finish.

14-03-2021 10:16PM

Hard to pick lesser from these two evils, but if inter can stay lucky and no injury they can win. Unless they are declared bancrupt or have a strike for not salary paying

Have to go with Inter. Someone anyone needs to end this shameful run of Serie A wins by Juve.

It has been horrible watch this average side destroy the record books

Handanovic and D'Ambrosio both have Covid, terrible timing with Parma coming up and Inter's terrible recent run against them.
