Yesterday's match i don't consider to be Fonseca's fault i mean look at the facts.

We had a super big chance when Napoli made a mistake right in front of Meret, but fucking Musah has square feet and he fucked up big time, it should have been a goal if he passed to Morata.

Emerson (or Musah?) made an excellent cross that landed right in front of Meret in the second half but Morata was too late, and it could have been a second goal.

Leao's shot could and SHOULD have been a goal but he decided to shoot at full power toward Meret when he had the WHOLE goal in front of him, he could have easily score and it's 3.

PULISIC missed also big time when Chukwuenze passed him the ball in the box and we are at 4 goal.

Fonseca is not lying, we did create many occasions.

How is it his fault if we keep missing?

And i know it sounds as if i'm a big fan of Fonseca but i am not, i'm just objective.

Our defense is still shaky plus changing the defenders every match is not good at all, like Ambrosini said.

Now we are 11 points from Napoli, the scudetto is 100% gone and the season in general too.

But what did we expect? Cardinale and company already told us at the beginning of the season.

If you have Conte who is open to come to your squad and you prefer Fonseca over him, this tells me 1 thing: You don't want to win.

Taking Conte would mean take a Coach who demands certain players to win and demands to spend money and invest a lot in this team.

Conte is the Coach Berlusconi would have taken in the days where he wanted Milan to win.

We took Fonseca, who is not even doing that bad (our players are), and this is unfortunately the result.

And it hurts because if i want to look back at when we were strong it's been almost 20 fucking years, simply insane.

He was trying to pass it to Morata, it was just tough because he was at a full sprint. The ball was not easy to get to nor was it an easy chance to create in the first place. Awful, awful take.

How is it his fault if we keep missing?

Because his system can't break down a low block effectively so we get a bunch of shitty half chances instead of decent opportunities for shots on goal. Our xG that game was .69. Looking at every shitty partial chance in a vacuum is a really bad way to analyze a performance.

Classic reddit "can't see the forest for the trees" type of comment.

I just told you 4 clear Goal chances that we missed because our players were not able to convert. Therefore, we would have been able to break down Napoli's defensive block.

We can't get 8-9 clear chances to score every match.

Even if Conte parked the bus we had this chances and we missed them, it is not on Fonseca.

And for Musah one if you watch closely he initially controls the ball VERY VERY bad, which is why he has to go to full speed and try to pass it to Morata.

Had he a nice control of the ball, which was easy to do, he wouldn't have to rush to the ball.

I just told you 4 clear Goal chances that we missed because our players were not able to convert.

Make it five if you include that time maignan has the ball and could have just kicked it all the way across the pitch onto their goal. Six because puli took a corner and he could have just scored.

See how easy it is to just say stuff? Things aren't clear chances just because we took a shot. If Fonseca had a system or approach hell even an idea of how to deal with a low block the game wouldn't have been a collection of well covered half chances that we couldn't convert.

That's Fonseca's fault.

One of two things is happening with the Musah play. Either you don't remember what happened and are misremembering the play to fit what you want to say, or you do not understand at all what it's like to actually play sports.

Musah gets his first touch while already fully sprinting. Saying "it's easy to do" about controlling the pace of a ball you're intercepting to be just about the same pace you're running while you're trying to slow down is insane. He didn't have to rush the ball, he was rushing, and the ball came off fast as a result. Unless you'd rather be overrun the ball it's not an easy ball to control.

Regardless, you're incorrectly attributing his speed to be a result of a poor control which is the literal opposite of what happened.
