Maybe because the first couple of games were a fluke? No wonder he never played at Inter.

Facts show that Juventus are still unbeaten and that in itself is an achievement, hence if they go on and win the competition then kadus to them - The league is won by the team that can keep its breath in the longest.

Barcelona tired Milan out, the team had played three difficult games with similar line ups on the trot. The team is very tired, especially mentally. At least that's what Cesare Maldini said.

I know. But that's my point. A few weeks ago it was "WTF is Ambro playing for".. he's been outstanding since. So what the hell do fans know? Who says starting Aqui and Robbie would've changed anything? They've been embarassing of late.

It would have changed a lot. I can't believe how you fail to see the quality Aquilani brought when he was subbed in. He might not be Pirlo and he might be out of shape, but he's a creative force and we need players like him at the moment. Same argument for Robinho. He was much more dangerous in those 20 minutes than Emanuelson was during his entire appearance. That midfield was simply all muscle and no brains, and this is what pisses me off from Allegri. It's not like Muntari and Emanuelson have been doing extraordinary things to earn a starting spot either. It's just his fixation of playing physical players and runners. Nocerino, Ambrosini, Van Bommel, Flamini, Gattuso, Emanuelson and Muntari vs. Aquilani and Seedorf. You can clearly see the unbalance. His vision hasn't changed much from last season. Instead of Gattuso and Flamini, we're now playing Nocerino and Muntari, who might be slightly better in terms of playing the ball, but in the end, they're just the same breed of players.

quality players? Allegri had Ronaldinho who wasn't playing bad at all and kicked him out. He had our dear Pirlo and kicked him out, and he tried to get rid of our Pato, this guy clearly does not understand what quality is. All he looks at in a game is defending and rigid play, this is not how my milan play! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/realmad.gif)

Had he not kicked out Dinho or Pirlo then this whole creativity bull wouldn't exist

Agreed... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Then surely you can see the lack of balance also? When he has 7 DMs/box-tobox midfielders and only 2 creative players, do you not see a problem there? Of course the midfield is going to be packed with them, especially when Seedorf hasn't performed well in Serie A all to often this season, Robbie has been off form for a well and as has Aqui.

The lack of creativity is down to the management, not the coach.


I'd say getting rid of Ronaldinho was an outstanding accomplishment, possibly only 2nd to winning the title last season. Total waste and embarassment.


We offered Pirlo a year contract, but let's not let facts get in the way of whinning.


And didn't, unfortunately.

The myopia of some fans is incredible. Ronaldinho had and still has his motivation issues no doubt but he went from most assists in Europe under Leo to 0 under Allegri. Pato similarly began to decline after showing very promising things under Carlo and Leo.
It was and is clear that he simply doesn't understand this kind of player and has the abyssmal man management skills to exacerbate the problem.
Taiwo and Pato have complained about his lack of communication skills...I think there's something to it. Not every player is a super tough guy "alpha-male" like iBra. Some need to be gently handled to get the best out of them.

Dear god,

The day good coach max learns to take a step forward without two steps back...I will shave my head.

Management? Not at all. Allegri is the one who asks for his men, Galliani signs them. Don't even think that our midfield is overcrowded with runners and physical players simply because Galliani decided so. It's the breed of players Allegri requires, Galliani just finds the deal and delivers.

Delio Rossi strikes again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Bonera, Ambrosini and Aquilani are suspended for the next game. I hope Nesta, Van Bommel, Seedorf and Boateng are ready, otherwise...

This is what I've been telling all along and this is why I think Allegri is a one way street for us.

But anyway, a lot of spite and anger here, but with just reasoning.

What's there to say? The saddest part is that Emanuelson is a bad leftback, much worse then a AM. He's just not Milan material - he can do a lot of things in a mediocre way, but none of them greatly, and "great" is what a team needs if we want to excel.

Muntari? Oh well... I can see both sides of the argument - XO/Han's and Kurt's. Point is Aquilani has been piss poor again. What did he achieve? Got a yellow like usual. Sure, he's better and more intelligent then Muntari, but his endless lethargy and easy going style ain't gonna shoot us much further.

The worst thing is, and Cesare Maldini confirmed my fears, that Milan all in all are in a down form. Just think of the number of players injured (Pato, Flamini, Boateng off and on, Seedorf, Nesta and Bommel the same) + add the off form players (El Shaarawy, Ibrahimovic, Aquilani, Emanuleson, Robinho) and there's a big problem. All of a sudden the average fighter bunch leaded by Conte looks frightening again.

Yeah, the management. Afterall, he didn't seem keen on the chasing of Tevez, why would that be if he picked the players? He's even an Allegri type player with high energy. Because he obviously didn't want him. Fortunately City refused to budge.
