AC Milan’s performance against Parma certainly upset the fans on Saturday evening and while the defence was the main issue, the attack wasn’t too good either. This was highlighted by Ahmed Bdair during our watchalong for the game.
Milan struggled from the first minute and in addition to Parma creating chance after chance, the Rossoneri couldn’t seem to create any of their own. They consistently relied on individual quality and when in possession, there was no pace to the game whatsoever.
After the final whistle, during our watchalong on YouTube, Ahmed Bdair discussed the issues under Paulo Fonseca and questioned his tactics in attack. Many fans will be able to relate as it was very reminiscent of what we saw last season.
“Can anyone tell me what the difference in our attacking system is from today to every single game under Pioli last season? What is the difference? Nobody can find it because there isn’t one. I have to emphasise this, he [Fonseca] was so smug in those press conferences. Talking about ‘I watched the games last year’ and ‘we will definitely be playing differently’.
“Where are these differences? Seriously, what did you watch? If you watched the games and you came up with Loftus-Cheek in attacking midfield then you are not the manager. If he watched the games and didn’t realise that this won’t work, he’s not a good manager,” he stated.
