This match above all presented how Milan miss Pirlo. He's the one givin rythm and stability, possesion and pressure on the opposition. Seedorf used to be another motor, but he's not up to it anymore. Therefore it imperative to find a suitable addition, for cases like this, when Pirlo is unavaible. Call it a trequartista, AM, fantasista, regular midfielder, I don't mind his position, but we need a player who can give us the needed ball possesion with the neccesary security, just like Ibra gives the neccesary security in finish.


It also gave us some other insight. Strasser can now be considered a full team member, he's been exemptional, even if he went MIA for some periods.

Antonini? He was good? Let's put it this way: he was better in offensive erons then in the defensive ones; but in the end, we conceeded one goal from his side, while he did not participate in the 4 other goals.

Cassano seems to be a major gain, a real upgrade for us. I'm positive Cassano and Ibra have chemistry.

As for Abate...the kid is a tragedy IMO. He's such a poor player; still troubled when defending, weak in anticipation and blocking. He's displaced, I know, but really, would he do any good as a RM? None of his crosses does any good, he simply has no defensive or offensive intelligence, and I think Milan does not need him. I just don't see it in him, he's had so many chances and is a starter by now, and still his improvement is way too slow.

Yepes should be our 3rd choice CB, he has composure and experience (something Bonera and Papa don't have), even if he lacks pace.

Our fullbacks were terrible, Seedorf was pretty good actually - he even helped protect the back 4. This formation did not work at all, Gattuso was way too high and Seedorf was doing more defending than he should have. That being said, we didn't have many alternatives in our midfield. Pato had a poor game, but ended up with 2 goals. Cassano was magnficent, as was Ibra. Credit to the boys for never giving up.

I agree with pirlo injured, and even at the age he is, we need to to find his replacement ASAP
amongst potential "galliani-esque" bargains out there there is Gago, Rakitic, Modric, Constant. The midfielder i really see succeeding is the versatile Leroy Fer, who has played CF/CB/RB/DM/AM for feyenoord's first team and has sensational. Feyenoord's current table position + their financial crisis makes this summer the perfect time to strike for this future Viera. He tackles hard, runs fast, possesses great touch and a wicked shot. With him in a midfield along with flamini, boetang, Strasser and pirlo, we will be able to create plays left right and center while not sacrificing defensive responsibilities.

Totally agree, i dont know why Galliani is doing nothing on the market regarding our RB position, we really miss a quality RB to make something for real, maybe we can make to the scudetto but in the CL with those FB we are out very early, i also think that Lenon and Bale will "****" Abate and Antonini!!!!

A good one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Just saw the match...


Bonera = puke


Still, I was very proud of the way these guys kept fighting back. Good to see Pato kicking butt out there again too.

[Milan Are Brilli...]

Crazy game, not bad for the 'boring' Serie A!

Have no idea how we didn't win though. Handanovic pulled off a number of decent saves, everytime Udinese broke with purpose they scored though, a bit worrying for the CL tie. Each time I see Sanchez he impresses me, I thought he was near on certain going to Madrid back last summer, or is it because of Di Maria he didn't go there?

Thought there was a foul on Pato on the break for Udinese's 4th. Good to see him back and firing. Didn't recognise Milan at times, some of the play was so fluid. Resembled some sort of crazy dream team at one point with Cassano, Robinho, Zlatan & Pato playing. Shows we can finally get goals, unlike previous seasons.

Can we play Udinese every week anyway? Swear everytime we do the game is a thriller!

[William405]

Imagine if it had ended 5-4,their was a big possibility that would have happened,if abate had any skill...

Anyway,I'm positive now that Cassano can play behind two strikers.

Pato,Ibra,Cassano will be feared by any defense in the world.

I can see us having a very easy game against Lecce.

[Woorya]

Fast notes

Pato: Nice come back, he's been showing alot of will but made some big mistakes loosing ball yesterday
Cassano: Such a gentle touch and such mind for the game, hope he stays consistant. 3 assists in 35 min played in Milan
Thiago Silva: I could pick him as the man of the match every single game, very crucial and also made a goal.
Strasser: Good game, dangerous and involved. Hopefully Allegri has less stress putting him in the start 11.
IBRA: By now, Ibra has been that force that might just give Milan, the triple. Hopefully his CL History isn't a curse but a coincidence. He gives his all and I don't know if people noticed how HE ran to the goal and picked up the ball after the goals for a fast start while everyone else ran around celebrating as if they had the game. Milan didn't have the lead ONCE during the game....


I'll keep the negative comments for you guys regarding Bonera, Abate, Seedorf etc.

But puh...After the game I was a victim of a bad headache, stomachache and was stressed out of mind....

1 point is acceptable but letting 4 balls crossing the own goal at HOME is NOT acceptable.

Thiago Silva: I could pick him as the man of the match every single game, very crucial and also made a goal.

I'd actually put it as making 2 goals. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It was his run and lob to the front line that resulted in the third goal. Not to mention his good hand in the second goal (that was an own-goal, of course) as well. Not assists, yes, but at least the attack started from him, which is good to see. Unlike some players, he likes to pass forward. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I like this attack-mindedness.

Look at what allegri said,basically Cassano will be our last signing..."We are fine the way we are"

Guess what we aren't...If we want to win the scudetto,and reach a good stage in the Champions leauge.We need one full back,the least.I think our midfeild will do fine,specially since we will have three players in the center of the feild.Cassano will become the regular behind the strikers,after he recovers full fitness.

This is Serie A firstly and by saying that i mean it this way , he does'nt get to make the transfer decisions not like in the premiership where Mancini can say i need a striker and go after Dzeko and buy him.... decisions at the end of the day end up with Galliani and co..... if he says to the media we need this , this and that and Galliani says no there's going to be stupid clash of words... yes we need a fullback and yes a centre back and a mid but remember it looks like we are going to buy Boateng at the end of the season if he keeps on playing like he is now.
Milan can ill afford to splash the cash in January being the worst time to buy players because every club needs there star players until the end of the season. Look at Juve they wanted Dzeko but could'nt buy him because he was priced to high but Man City bought him because they can afford to buy in January not many big clubs buy in january they go for loans or free transfers its a buisness after all you wait until the end of the season and see how your transfer budget pans out..... patience my friend this is not football manager. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Just wait until the summer we will buy what we need im really hoping for a very god fullback tbh we need way more strength in depth in defence Bonera is just meh....

I'm OK with him not demanding any players...but saying that we're fine the way we are for a team that wants to compete on all championships.

Also,I only want a fullback...that's top priority now.When you think about it our midfeild is just fine,for the three spots in the midfeild we have:Pirlo,Gattuso,Flamini,Ambrosini,Boateng,Strasser,Seedorf.

Pirlo or Boateng can play behind strikers in special occasions.Cassano when fit should be behind the strikers.

Verdi,Merkel are also good subs for the attack midfeild role.

true that , hopefully Galliani sees the fullback problem now rather then at the end of the season.
