[Milan Are Brilli...]

How people change from one game (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

This is what I was saying for the last few weeks, a performance could come and people were going way too OTT prematurely on how everything was going to crumble around us. We are AC Milan, we've never done it the easy way, at least since MVB era.

No, no there were others. I didn't mean you, well, I didn't mean just you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Now next game will prove how stable we actually are. As for Cassano, he is a bit similar to Dinho for me as you never know when he is going to lose motivation and become a burden... I am really liking what I'm seeing and hopefully it continues, but I'm not counting on it. Robinho... What a ****ing signing!

Another great game managed by Allegri. He does have a promising future ahead of him this guy.

And it's a shame about Merkel. I wanted him to become a special player. But I think he is mid-table quality.

Yeah, that's the sad thing about Cassano. As good as he is, you know eventually he's not going to be worth the drama.

Still early to judge one way or another IMO. The kid is only 18. I can't even remember the last player that was part of our first team at such young age.

agreed but short memory? pato was a first team member since he was eligible. merkel is one for the future. just because he isnt maldini awesome now doesnt mean he wont ever be good. he looks gittery to me. he just needs to trust his skill and build trust with his team mates

[Jack Bauer]

I meant someone from Primavera. But even overall there weren't many besides Pato.

The boy needs time. I would loan him next season to mid-low table Serie A team for regular playing time.

I'm not kurt. I'm the anti-kurt. Unlike kurt I'm actually awesome. kurt's a whiney little girl who dresses Barbie dolls up and plays with unicorns. I'm a f@ckin pirate.

You are one sick mofo.

Stop making fun of Rino! he's had some very nice assists before. obviously not THIS good, it was freakin' Xavi-quality, but still...

How close was Clarence to making an utter calamity of his chance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I only watched the second half (+ highlights). We looked really sharp tonight. I don't remember us playing this good since Brescia and Bologna. Cassano was amazing with those assists and goal. If we continue like this, Pirlo's absence will be less critical.

Now bring on Tottenham!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif)

Problem is we don't have Cassano for the CL, and imo the biggest reason as to why we really ticked yesterday was because of Cassano and how he drives the attack forward, that and his and Ibra's linkup at times is magical. Also the fact that our midfield wasn't stagnant with the 3 DMs then the attack cut out completely because we have 3 stikers upfront who are supported by a midfield that just cannot link up play with them. Imo that is the reason why we struggled in the last few games. Merkel wasn't really good but he helped when we were attacking, had Boateng or Pirlo been playing instead of him we could have seen a trashing of the first degree imo.

Van Bommel imo is really starting to show his worh, he's not making an @ss out of himself, he flies under the radar most of th time, but the amount of times he recovered the ball and then set up a good move with his pass was amazing.

Against Tottenham we'll lose 2 players who imo are becoming very importan in how we play. Imo our best shot is if we play a 4-2-3-1 as you said yourself. Flamini and Rino in front of the defense and helping out their respective FBs when needed Pato and Robinho on the wing and cutting in, Seeford in the center in front of the 2 DMs and Ibra up front to do the damage.

Also another thing, Oddo can be so frustrating with his virtical balls, but having said that, defensively he's been top quality imo, nothing goes past him, Abate is better when going forward but all his defensive frailties would have cost us against a team like Spurs, so I'm glad he's out, and at this point Oddo is a definative starter for me, especially since he seems to have cut out the ridiculous long balls. I think Allegri gave him a talking to after the Genoa game

Once we had a "our own quotes of the week" topic. This would be my choice.
