Ambrosini performs better as an anchor,he wasn't that good,but wasn't the liabality he was against Lecce.He still came back from injury,let's not forget that.I see him as a good Van Bommel replacement against weak and middle class clubs.

Nocerino was our hero for today from midfield (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) .He was everywhere,his workrate is really impressive,just the player we needed,and could develop into one hell of a player.

Boateng was not influential at all today which shows that we need a classic attacking midfield.We have no one for that position,literaly.Our midfield looks great,and with some good depth,finally!

Thiago was his amazing self,owned everyone.

Taiwo is improving,he has some sweet passes,and can be dangerous sometimes,but still needs confidence.His defense is also better than Antonini,and still much more room for improvement.

Our defense needs stability,we're going out with an almost different back four every match.

+1

EDIT:

By the way, as it stands the top two players assists in the league come from Cassano (5) followed by Aquilani (3).

Great game.
Top marks for everyone generally except Ambro, Taiwo and Abbiati. Even Allegri and Bonera were good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Despite my criticism of Taiwo (who'd deserve a high 6 / low seven) he's improving and is already miles ahead of Anto. One Mistake in this game doesn't at all put him behind the mistake career of Anto. Also Taiwo's runs and pace gave us so much more width on the left it was really pleasing.

Abate continues to improve incrementally. We would appreiate him more over the next 2~3 seasons.

I can't criticize Cassano despite his relaxing instead of shooting because that's simply his style. If he were a different player he'd have had more goals and less assists.

iBra was not playing his own high standards and a gift of a goal will again hide this fact. He's verrrrry show and looks utterly unmotivated. Yes I'm biased against him but I maintain that a higher calibre team would tear him apart playing like this.

Nocerino was our man of the match. How one guy on R&B says that he's on par with Brocchi is beyond me. But I guess he's excused as a Pirlo fan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) . Guy fought for every inch (no homo) of space and his technique isn't horrible for a guy mainly viewed as a blue collar player.

I was soooo angry at Allegri for the snubbing (again) of El Sharaawry) but I'm not the one that just led the team to another great win.

Actually my opinions on Allegri remain and I expect him to excel in these types of games vs. lesser opponents. However Allegri has MASSIVELY improved two main dimensions of our attack

1) Goals off of corners
2) Shots from outside by midfielders

I really will have no basis for complaint if we keep playing like this consistently at all levels -i.e. vs big teams as well.

Great game and FORZA Milan

Firstly, I don't remember having witnessed two back to back hattricks by two of a team's midfielders before. really strange stuff.

And secondly, I can't quite believe Pato is yet to score a hat-trick...

That kind of ruined his image in my mind!

Unforunately didn't see the game. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Was it a case of them being bad, or were we just very good?

They were bad, we were bad. Nocerino really pulled out a great match though. We only had very isolated events where we actually did good, positive things on the ball. Most of the first half was the usual passing the ball around the defence and midfield with 0 penetration

Great night at the stadium. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
