In last night’s episode of Davy & Chin Talk Milan, we break down AC Milan’s recent run of unconvincing performances, starting with the chaotic win away at Como. Chin believes Milan were fortunate to take all three points and questions whether Massimiliano Allegri is the right long-term solution. In his view, the current style clashes with Milan’s identity, relying too heavily on defensive football and counterattacks — an approach he doesn’t believe can succeed in Europe.

Davy agrees the performances have been far from convincing, but offers a different perspective. He argues that Allegri is doing what’s necessary to grind out results and keep Milan on track for a return to European football next season. Given Milan’s recent transfer strategy, which doesn’t suggest a clear Scudetto push, Davy feels Allegri deserves some understanding rather than outright blame.

The conversation then shifts to Milan’s 1–1 draw against Roma at the Olimpico, where both hosts agree Milan were second best and arguably lucky to come away with a point. Davy believes the issue isn’t Allegri’s formation but his player selection — pointing to the lack of chemistry between Nkunku and Leão, especially in transition, where possession was repeatedly lost and build-up play suffered. Chin, however, places the responsibility squarely on Allegri, arguing that the players look uncomfortable executing a system that doesn’t suit their strengths.

We also discuss Modrić’s fatigue and Allegri’s limited options from the bench. Davy stresses that squad players must step up when key starters are tired or out of form, noting that Milan’s bench has failed to provide the necessary impact in recent matches.

Finally, we debate the Scudetto race. Chin admits he’s already lost belief in a title challenge, convinced that Inter Milan looks unstoppable and that Milan’s inconsistency will be costly. Davy, while acknowledging the growing gap, insists the title race isn’t over yet — even with Milan sitting five points behind their city rivals.

A balanced, passionate, and honest discussion on where Milan stand — and where they might be heading.
