Agreed, and that's what I said above, Abate, Antonin, Bonera are at best 2nd string choices. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) That is if we want to win something big. Maybe they will improve in a few years, but at what cost to the club? Someone like Coentrao is needed, at least one flank should have an A+ player.

Darn you Milos Krasic, darn you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) He'd have been perfect, seeing our right side creates literally nothing!

I disagree with you about Abbiati. yes he kicked the ball awkwardly and that led to Samp's corner kick. what's that got to do the their goal? corner kicks happen in every game. IMO what leads to a corner kick doesn't really matter that much, but how a team defends a corner does. you can't blame Abs for being at the far end of a series of incidents that led to Samp's corner...

DISCLAIMER: I'm an Amelia fan and want him to play!! but I don't think Abs has been bad enough to be benched, yet.

I know, but why not keep things under control in the first place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Corner kicks happen, but I'd rather take them when an opposing forward is rushing in and a defender tackles the ball out. Or a CB heads the ball out. Absolutely no point in that stupid trick that Abbiati pulled which resulted in the throw in, which resulted in the corner, which results in the goal. I understand, that even if it was a corner, even if Bonera did not play the offside trap, it was still the team's fault for conceding the equalizer. No two words about that.

Anyway, guys do watch Abbiati's giveaways in the next few matches. I really hope none of them happen, but IMO he needs to work on where to kick and where to pass. Not everything he sends will reach our players first, but I am talking about the freebies. Control that, and it will be good for all parties. Besides it will give Abbiati the needed confidence. Minor details make or break a match, after all. Inches and centimeters.

I know the ones you're talking about acid, the last time he did it was much worse, kicked it straight to an opposing player near the half way line, really can't remember who it was against though

It kinda happened today too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

On a Positive note I was really really happy to see Robinho score.
Damn that kid works hard!!! A 4-3-3 of him, duck and iHomo/Dinho would a pleasure to watch once we get fullbacks worthy of the red and black.

Pity that with all this attacking firepower at his disposal Allegri can't figure out how to get them to work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) . Oh noes I just said something bad about the all wise allknowing Allegri....permaban for dru!!!

Exactly, he has done that rather regularly now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) No point in remembering who it was again, because unfortunately he does this every other match. Not good. I like both our keepers, and want them both to do well. Who does so, and makes less mistakes should start. But really, mistakes like this (that can be easily avoided) only go against us.

Keep it calm, pass it to the guy in the red and black. At least not give away freebies to opponents!


Yeah, at least once. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) And then a couple of misfired kicks too. No keeper is perfect, but I can only hope Abbiati is working on these mistakes. Because really it indirectly (or directly) results in loss of points.

Welcome to the Anti-Allegri Club, folks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Didn't watch the game, but from the highlights it seemed like we had control of the match and should have won, considering all the chances we had, especially the last two with Seedorf and Robinho. Sampdoria only had two shots in goal.

Nevertheless, it's not a bad result. Unlike some of you who were already celebrating our victory two days ago, I knew winning on Samp's pitch is never easy. You'll see all the other big clubs will stumble there.

What Allegri did today was ******* excusable.

You said yurself, we had control of the game and should have scored! There was no point to losing these points, and justifying it by saying all the other teams will stumble there is the mentality that we had over these last 5 years where we didn't win anything. Being champions means you go to these stadiums and bringing back the 3 points, whether you play a good game or a bad game.

What really p!ssed me off is Allegri, there was a problem especially after we conceeded, yet what does Allegri do? Keep twiddling his tumbs waiting for Ibra or Robinho to do something, instead of taking the initiative and making a change, Seedorf had trouble throughout the entire match, while Rino was the usual, trying to play ome-twos with Abate and trying to play around the box, yet what does Allegri do, wait until the last minute of regular time to bring in Dinho and Flamini, who should have been on at least at the 60th if not at the start of the 2nd half. Dinho created more dangerous plays in 4 minutes then Seedorf managed all game.

It's the same BS as usual, only before we scraped through from the games, while today we lost 2 points because we can't manage to score then 1 stupid goal in 90 minutes of football where we have control of the game, This system does not allow us to kill off games, thus leaving us vulnerable to an equiliser, we got lucky against Inter and Fiorentina, we didn't get lucky the 3rd time. If Inter win tomorrow that's already 2 point cut out from our lead. And we have Roma still to come

We can curse here?


Glad to see that a lot here have their doubts about Allegri. To temper this we muct give him some sort of credit for fixing our defense and making us look more solid against set pieces and Counter Attacks....then again Leo didn't have Nesta healthy as often, nor did he have Sokratis (who, to be fair hasn't played as much but ANYBODY>>>>Kaladze)

I will say it again but I don't think he's a big team coach. I was particularly upset with how he plays ANY team with some stature....like we're such a small team (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Under Allegri is the first time that I've seen my beloved proud mighty arrogant Milan EVER try to waste time by the corner flag. This is something that I would always LAUGH at other teams for (except Trinidad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) doing. We did it (and paid dearly for it) vs Madrid and Inter. Seriously if the best he could come up with is pass to iHomo and hope he scored while keeping things tight at the back then I'm sorry he's not a big team coach. With the attack we have now I have no doubts that Leo would have at least DESTROYED inter.

his treatment of Ronaldinho is also under review. At present it's even....Ron did his **** and was punished.....from now on they both start with a clean slate in this issue.

I should be loving Allegri because of that.

Its not bannable (unless exccessive I think) but its looked down upon from what I've gathered from my time here. Just FYI.

Not too long ago, cursing on here was almost completely taboo. However, the brass seems to have eased up on the reins considerably as of late.

I think it's a matter of trusting us as long as things don't get out of hand (see the R&B cesspool for that).

swearing at the team is different than swearing at members. We have every right to get mad in a matchday at players and sometimes emotions can get out of hand so its normal.


But if we take that towards other members; thats where the line has to be drawn imo.
