Emerson can't run. Simply old.

I agree in Robinho. Higuain? Hum, ok. Reyes should be on the left too.

Diarra can't pass, but that's besides the point, yes Diarra should be starting, because he is a better player then Puma but right now non of them is doing anything. And you know how cappello is with Emerson (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

At least Real should play in a 4-3-3

With Robinho and Reyes on either side of RVN, but we know that that won't happen (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

[Rossoneri7]

We? motivated?  (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)   (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)   (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Joking right? That was 3 years ago.

Higuain is 19 ffs. Give the kid time. Just the same if Pato came to Milan, didn't score on the first 3 matches and you say "That kid is a bluff."  (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I don't think, without injuries, we have a better squad than them.

Actually Milan is very motivated .. Despite the handicap and on-going problems that the club is getting dragged into .. I think this team has it all .. No not 3 yrs, NOW .. I believe Milan is.

Higuain was a promising player when he was in Argentina, but at Madrid, he still needs alot of time to break into the first team .. Loan him out !! Why risk a game ?

R u serious !!!!

We have a better defence than them .. A better midfield .. and apart from RVN, a better attack than them .. ohh and Dida is much better than Casillas (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

All in all, this team has a lot to look forward too .. Milan needed a fullback and we got him .. Milan needed Sheva's equal and we got him .. What exactly do we need more for this season ?!

I mean if Milan reached 9 place on the table without a rightback and a sheva equal and been penalized 8 points from the start .. Compare that to a Madrid roster that has so much players at their disposal, still all they can reach is 4th place.

Clearlly .. Milan is better

Same for Gago, he ain't anything special.

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

And Brocchi >>> Diarra, isn't it? For god sake. Gago was on the first 11 of Argentina NT against France last Wednesday for some reason. Not because he's "nothing special". I wish Pirlo was on his form right now.

Real Madrid have a very good team. Better than Milan, Bayern and some others. They just need a coach. (coff coff Mourinho coff)

1-2, Ruud. Great play from the left wing.

[GULLIVER]

As a unit I think we are better

Where did Brocchi come into this??

And Gago doesn't deserve to be a starter at Real Madrid simply because he hasn't shown anythin in the REAL shirt that he should be a starter.

Pirlo doesn't need to prove himself, he's alread done that, yes he's off form but he can't be compared to Gago

You call Real Madrid a good unit of players that work well and gel together????

Even Reading are better then them as a Unit (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Real Madrid have a very good team. Better than Milan....

How is that??

If you compare the 2 teams then Milan would come out on tope.

Goalkeeper -> equal

Defence -> Milan

Midfield -> Milan

Attack -> Real JUST edge it

han and who is Milan now? I tell you » 9th in Italy. Shame, shame, shame this season. We can't beat an average side. Roma and Inter owned your _ss more than once.

How can you EVEN compare Milan to Madrid by this time? As far I know, they beat Barcelona and Valencia - 2 top teams - this season. And they're 5 points away from the top and "in crisis".

Milan is far away for the "Milan-quality" we all know.

How our midfield is better when Pirlo and Seedorf are playing like sh!t all year long?
IMO the two teams are equally bad

Milan has been off form for the most part of the season, our key was how well the midfield work together and we didn't have that since most of them wheren't playing well.

And if you want to talk about seasons of shame it's not this one. If you look at all the sh!t the team had to go through this season, PLUS the fact we had no pre-season because most of our players only having a week's rest after a tiering season that stretched to the CL semis and fighting it out with Juve until the final day, then a long WC and having to go back to playing in a competitive match that would have decided our season in a matter of weeks.

Real shouldn't have an excuse for their sh!tty season, they are where they are in the table because non of the other teams have been particularly impressive.

Shame is when you spend nearly a hundred million in transfers over the course of a year and still manage to come up with mediocre results.

When our midfield is actually functioning it is much better then Real's but right now both teams are playing bad so yes they are equal.

Milan these past few years have been the prototype in that respect. Sure we have let players age a lot these past 2 seasons, but we'll slowly fase our LEGENDS out that you can't just throw away and replace them with quality.

We did it all wrong. Instead of starting slowly to reinforce the team the board were cheap and stupid. It cost us last season and it's partly responsible for this.

We have definately made the necissary adjustments to our squad this winter. All we need to do this summer is get a good CB that is not too young (mid-twenties) and a midfielder, someone like Essien, who is a great utility player and can virtually play in any position on the field, and has a lot of energy

We need to buy a top striker in the summer. Pippo should go , Gila's form is unreliable, you don't know what to expect fron Oli and R9 maybe can give us 2 good years but he is very injury prone

Still you can't just ask players like Billy and Paolo to leave just because they're old, they will retire when they see fit. They deserve that respect.

This summer Billy will leave I'm sure we'll get a good CB to replace him.

We'll see about the striker situation, if Pippo is off loaded then sure we sould try to go for that Pato kid or Huntelaar. but the striker situation has only come up this season, last season we had the best attack in Europe. Sure Sheva left and that has made a big impact, but Pippo has been off form this season so has Gila and Oli needs time to adjust to a new ;eague.

I think R9 will be the guy that takes Sheva's place, they are the same age and he would allow us to find our next great striker. Milan has always had a great striker, even when we had the sh!ttyest team of these past 20 years we had Weah.

you call Milan a good unit? Nooo way. I haven't seen a good team work since last year in Milan.

98% of victories are a result of individual excellance (kaka, pirlo, seedorf, etc) not a team work.

Of course not. But noobody expects Billy to be more than a backup player at his age and if he needs to play in the most important game of the season (vs Barca) then something is wrong. Besides, our biggest defensive problems were on the wings.

It's just this season because we are off form, the same team as a Unit if playing well is better then any other.

The midfield 4 we have are probably the best together when in form.

Of course not. But noobody expects Billy to be more than a backup player at his age and if he needs to play in the most important game of the season (vs Barca) then something is wrong. Besides, our biggest defensive problems were on the wings.

We fixed the wings with Oddo since the RB area was the more problemetic, Serginho played nearly every game last season and he never showed how old he really is, he out ran and out paced every fullback on the opposing team, no matter how young he is.

We suffered on the wings this season mainly because of his injury. And when you have a player like Gila or Pippo they need the survice Sergio and Oddo would provide because of their great crosses

About the Barca game, we had Nesta injured and Maldini also, Stam was used as a fullback because he is the only one we had at the time, and I myself would have trusted Billy in that game more then Simic

We fixed the RB problem too late (at least 2 years late) . Serginho maybe great offensively but he is poor defensively. Almost every ball from the wings caused problems for our defence last year. It was really sad to watch.

That exactly the problem. We should have had enough depth with good replacements.
