Grazie! 50 goals 0 Penalties! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I think he's on 51 goals right now ;p

Dang. All of his assists are basically from Dinho and Kaka. No wonder the boy went into a slump.

Injuries played most of the part.

Okay, now I don't know how accurate this is, or what its significance, but apparently there is a rift between Ibrahimovic and Pato.

Yesterday, after the match analysis on Jazeera Sports, the major discussion circulating was the issues between Pato and Ibra ... Whereby Cesare comments were along the lines of .. "you have to understand Ibrahimovic is a grand player who has won wherever he has been .. Pato is only at the beginning of his career and needs to learn from the examples that he has with him" ............ Then he was asked directly by the anchor, whether Ibrahimovic has a say on who starts with him and who doesnt, Cesare replied "Ibrahimovic scores on an average of a goal in two games, he is by essence the reference point in attack and of course he will play better if he plays around players who complement his characteristics." He was then asked if Pato does not complement his characteristics, and replied "Pato needs to learn more, he needs to take this as a lesson and sacrifice himself more for the team ... During training Allegri assesses the players who play and it is my feeling that he prefers Robinho and Cassano to play along side Ibrahimovic"


Thank God we are still in the running for 3 trophies, in which case Pato will get room to play ... Otherwise, I fear for a fate similar to that of Shevchenko/Kaka ... If not this summer, the next, unless Pato forces his way in the starting fold again.

If Pato is supported well by Robinho and Cassano,and behind him is a decent midfeild.He'll score way more goals than Ibra,he's a way better finisher.

Although no one doubts what Ibra has done for Milan,but Pato is a very important player for us.I agree that Pato should try and be more involved inside the game,and he has tried to do that against Sampdoria.But,really,we never go on counter attacks these days so we can't put his pace to good use.So what has been evident these days that Pato is a pure striker,Inzaghi like.He scores goals that's his job and that's what he does best.The problem is that we can't let go of Ibra because he adds so much to our game,and Robinho too.We can say that Pato can play instead of Cassano,but the problem the Ibra,Pato,Robinho has yet to work.The only way of that to happen is Ibra and Pato cooperate.

I can't agree really. I dislike everything around Ibra, but I must be honest and say he's the key element in our regaining the top of Serie A. Without him, or with only Pato, that would be much harder or even impossible.

But yes, I really think Ibra has Allegri in his hands.

In the beginning of the season before the injury they played well together. Maybe after we also signed Cassanoa and the improvement of Robinho, Pato feels a little bit threatenedas his place in the starting 11 isn't as sure as it was before.

Eeventually they will be fine. Few good games can resolve everytrhing. I think our attacking future is Ibra-Pato partnership that can be the most lethal out there.
