"For most of the first half of the season, the squad depth was the main topic among Milan fans. Between injuries, suspensions and deputies not cutting it, the Rossoneri definitely didn't perform as well as they could have done on the pitch. Yet, they managed to ride out the worst storms and now have 46 points after 21 games, only losing one game as well (the opening round)."
"Before, he was more or less forced to make certain decisions in each department, which limited his ability to change Milan based on the opponent. Now, however, the situation is the complete opposite with four strong centre-backs, three central midfield deputies and four forwards. You could definitely argue that another centre-back should be added still, but Milan are in a very good place with the rest of the positions."
In the first half of the season, injuries, suspensions and underperforming deputies left AC Milan with limited squad depth, hindering on-pitch performance. Recent weeks have seen significant improvement in depth, creating healthy competition across multiple positions. Milan now sit on 46 points after 21 games, with only one loss (the opening round). Deputies such as Koni De Winter, Samuele Ricci, Christopher Nkunku and Zachary Athekame have developed and contributed. The improved options reduced urgency in the January mercato and increased tactical flexibility for Massimiliano Allegri. Milan currently possess four strong centre-backs, three central midfield deputies and four forwards, though one more centre-back could still be useful.
