On this week’s episode of Davy & Chin Talk Milan, recorded a day after Milan’s convincing 3-0 victory over Bologna, we break down all the action. Goals from Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Nkunku, and Rabiot set the tone for an in-depth discussion on Milan’s approach compared to their draw against Roma the previous week. Davy praised the team’s attacking mindset, while Chin highlighted Bologna’s recent poor form as a factor in the dominant win.

We dive into Max Allegri’s surprising lineup decisions, including Loftus-Cheek replacing Leao and Athekame stepping in for Alexis Salamakers, and discuss the continued use of the 3-5-2 formation. Despite absences, Milan’s clinical performance underscores Allegri’s effective game management, keeping them in the Scudetto conversation, even with a five-point gap behind city rivals Inter and 15 games remaining.

The debate on Milan’s defence heats up with Koni Dewinter’s impressive form seemingly earning him Tomori’s spot in the starting XI. Davy acknowledges Tomori’s experience and unique contributions, while Chin appreciates Dewinter’s composure and balance on the field. Both highlight the contrasting strengths of these center backs, from Tomori’s power and pace to Dewinter’s calmness and consistency.

In midfield, we examine Youssouf Fofana’s role alongside Rabiot and Modric. Davy values Fofana’s mobility and physicality over Ricci’s style, noting his ability to control the box despite occasional misses. Chin agrees but points out Fofana’s limited scoring. We also discuss the potential impact of Jashari next season and why Modric remains essential.

The episode also touches on Milan’s winter transfer window, including the failed Mateta transfer due to medical reasons. While both agree the club wasn’t overly ambitious, they see it as reasonable given the squad depth and weekly match schedule.

Davy remains optimistic about Milan’s Scudetto chances, while Chin is more cautious, focusing on securing a top-four finish. Tune in for thoughtful analysis, lively debates, and insights on Milan’s season so far.

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.

Davy & Chin Talk AC Milan is back in action — and so are the debates.

In this first podcast episode of the New Year, the boys dive deep into Milan’s summer mercato and ask the big question: Did Milan over-trim the squad and fail to fix key problems?

Davy believes the Rossoneri made a major mistake going into the season with Santiago Giménez as the only recognized striker, leaving the attack unbalanced. Chin agrees the striker situation was risky — but argues that trimming the squad was necessary given Milan’s reduced fixture list this season.

The conversation heats up as the duo breaks down Milan’s struggles against bottom-table teams, where 11 crucial points were dropped, with opposing views on what’s really to blame:

Is it the lack of a proper No. 9?

Are players like Leão and Nkunku misused outside the box?

Or is Max Allegri’s rigid and cautious 3-5-2 system killing creativity and flair?

The episode also covers Milan’s frustrating performances against Genoa and Fiorentina, where four points slipped away, before turning to the arrival of Niclas Füllkrug from West Ham — what he brings and whether he’s enough to change Milan’s fortunes.

The show wraps up with a preview of Milan’s upcoming away clash against Como and what Allegri’s men must do to avoid another costly slip.

And lastly, Chin disappoints Davy with his Scudetto prediction.

This is Davy & Chin Talk AC Milan.
