Following the draw against Cagliari, Sergio Conceicao will be looking to bag his first win in the league with AC Milan, taking on Como away from home tonight. You can follow the action with our live commentary below.
The Supercoppa Italiana success was quickly overshadowed by a 1-1 draw against Cagliari, which once again highlighted Milan’s issues this season. As such, making a couple of changes to the starting XI as well, Conceicao is hoping for better quality tonight.
Unfortunately, due to the inconvenient kick-off time, we will not have a watchalong with either Lorenzo, Stefano or Oliver. Instead, you can follow the action with our live commentary as published on X. Another option is to subscribe to our Substack, which gives you access to our discord!

And Royal loses two possessions in the 1st minute
I will shout this from the rooftops every game:
Short corners are a WASTE of a free kick. Please Sergio for the love of God stop this team from taking short corners. Kick the ball into the penalty area!!!!
Milan is cursed with Emerson and he can’t even safe his life with kind of ball he plays..We play like team that lost idea.
emerson has to be the worst milan player i have seen in a long time he keeps losing possesion made the worst possible cross and does nothing over all
Fofana shots = Emerson dribbles
If Fonseca is blind to admit Emerson Royal is not a player that can help you achieve objectives, I don’t expect Coceacao to follow thesame direction..This Milan is terrible in front of goals and always struggle against smaller teams.Another draw is looming.
Fofana will b playing outside shot as if he is Gerard or lanpard
Slow, bad passing and random build ups…not a good sign
We look bad on the smaller pitch. Bring in Musah and Calabria at half.
Why is anyone other than Pulisic taking corners?
Morata is not our playmaker! Wtf is going on?!
So to be clear kicking a player in the back of the leg isn’t a foul? Cool.
right side is a disaster.
Except leao and morata everyone has been absolute shit including the ref
Terrible Milan
Looks like fonseca wasnt the issue. This team is actually not even mid level quality
Milan’s best player is hurt. Fofana and Emerson are both awful. Reijnders misses a sitter that Leão set up for him. Tomori isn’t any good. Corners are atrocious. This is probably the worst half I’ve ever seen in my two years of watching Milan.
Now just watch K, the Emerson fanboy, try and defend this performance…
Useless
If reindjers nor pulisic scores milan have 0 attack. Now Puli is injired for probably multiple weeks. We have 0 attacking power. Reindjers is burnt out.
I bet Sergio is wishing he hadn’t said the first half vs Cagliari was the worst he’s ever seen because that was just worse. Way worse. If I were him I would spend all next week drilling corners and one touch passes. This team have no ideas, no creativity and no urgency. Set pieces are horrible. We deserve to be 8th place and from what I’m seeing it doesn’t matter whose shouting orders from the touch line at this point.
Perfect..8th place will do us good this season..I dnt see this team getting past that position
Evey game Milan miss Big chances. Tonight Reijnders.
Milan play very bad this season. But there are too many in every game missed chances
I think that they should calculate next season. And start overe again
There are too many players on huge contract who are on big wage performing very bad. We can remember Elliott started by sacking those players. And now RedBird did a round circle by bringing back those overpaid players.
I feel Fofana need to be benched atlist one or two games to gain momentum back
Who advised the board to buy Emerson. Nothing Royal about the guy. Milan players are average and lazy
I thought Concieceo is coming with a renowned system. Same old sluggish exchange of passes.
We are ass 💔💔💔
Why the f##k didn’t Jimenez pass the ball to reijnders
Theo says, here have some space to work.
sigh
I need a written explanation on the justification for tomori and emerson playing. There’s literally no logical reason, and now we lose thiaw just to bring gabbia finally in, when we’re already down…
dont listen to K he’s a clown
I still don’t know why this coach keep benching gabbia I don’t understand
Understatement of the year lol
The midfield needs a break the guys are burnt out but there is nothing in back up, and these idiots want to flirt with Rashford
Well rashford ain’t happening now anyway, Okafor failed his Leipzig medical
Beat Juve and we’re at 34 with a stuttering Lazio ahead of us. Just win baby, forza Milan!
Somehow we manage to grab a win…
BUT:
A) we’re in a bad need of reinforcements – a proper, bona fide striker; an also a top level RB – although one must point out that Royal was the man behind the crucial sliding tackle on the beggining of the second goal;
B) Gabbia must be a starter on this side, I guess this is plainly obvious.
