He better work on his crossing though. His runs are amazing. Top class. His covering is average...and his crosses are substandard. Right footed bloke playing on the left...

God was two-footed. Shame on you for thinking he's less than perfect. You ought to be ex-communicated.

Playing on the 'wrong side' is no excuse really. I cnsider myself very right footed yet have pretty much always played on the left. Sure, I try to do as much as I can with my right foot but can still pass/cross with my left and I'm miles away from ever being close to professional, so for somebody who plays for one of the Worlds biggest clubs to not be able to put competent crosses in with his 'wrong' foot is a bit sad.

Well if you're playing on the wrong side of your foot, either you're a dribbler who cuts onto your strong foot..or you can cross with your weaker foot.
Antonini doesn't do either that well. I'm not saying he should be sold, just that there are facets he needs to work on really hard, coz I don't want us to spend money on a new LB, when we can improve the one we've got. |

He worked on his left foot to turn into a LB. Of course he is perfect, he would not be able to do that if he was not.

Paolo Maldini. Well actually I did not say His name before, I just said God. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Well yeah..obviously. Few people are 'born' two-footed. But he was good with both..and Luca should be working harder is my point.

The intensity and heart Antonini plays with has totally won this fish over. Even though he ended up out of position a couple of times on Saturday, I've got to give him a major fins up. He's done really well this year and I, er, might even have given a little fishy cheer when he was first one sprinting out of the tunnel for warmups.

I think we'll see even more improvement from him next season, he's obviously a late bloomer and just the ammount of effort he puts into each game is awesome. Not to mention the chemistry he and Dinho have... |

I've always said that I expect a better player as AC Milan's LB, but I have to agree that he's a very hard working player who truly gives his all to the team. he is, as I like to put it this way, one hell of a 2nd choice LB to have. the kind of player who's young and decent, and actually adds depth to the team.
I want a(n even) better LB at Milan though. Kolarov would be cool. |

Actually, people keep saying "the young Milan fullbacks" (referring to Abate and Antonini), but no-one seems to realize that Antonini will be 28 this summer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
That said, he IS our best fullback at the moment. If we sign Aogo, they should make Luca play on the right-side. He is right-footed after all. |
