When you look far enough into an abyss, it is supposed to look back at you. Milan's abyss doesn't even want to know.
This season is developing into a real horror show, and is reminding me of the failed Paul le Guen experiment at Ibrox. A real change of regime which started as a nightmare and became hell - he eventually quit - he just wasn't up to the job and it seems Leonardo isn't either. But he's by no means the only problem - in my previous thread I asked whether losing Kaka, Carlo and Paulo was just too much. It would definitely affect any team, but the current poverty of Milan is far more than their departures could justify. The key points to address are: Our manager doesn't act like a boss - he seems to be someone who's found themselves in the wrong job, can't quite understand what he is supposed to do, and is unable to inspire millionaire footballers to do their jobs. He should not have been appointed and the laziness of it is one of the things now haunting us. Our big summer signing is a bad one. With a dreadful club record since leaving Ajax, and a 20+ game scoring draught, KJH is not doing it for his new club mainly because he's not as good as we thought his Ajax days suggested he was. Hopefully he can turn it round, but it's not promising much yet. Ronaldinho's form is beyond dire. By no means the only player not doing it, but he's the highest profile Milan player bar Pato. The old Dinho and even the Dinho of early last season is gone, replaced by a player who doesn't look comfortable in his own skin, and isn't at home in this Milan regime. An inability to look at ease with the ball. The players seem to view it like a hot potato, throwing it awkwardly to each other and none having the composure to do anything with it, bar Seedorf. There are many more but there's no point depressing one's self. The saving grace we have is a small chink of hope in the CL. Truth is Milan's form is, as ridiculous as this sounds, if it continues, relegation material. To be outplayed at home by Bari is pretty ridiculous and our goal difference is horrific. We're lucky to be 11th because Milan aren't as good as that. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I agree with most of it. Expect some stick for the Seedorf commendation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
But really, you're not leaving us a lot of room for discussion are you Danny? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) We're f@cked! Now what? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) He's been the one guy to do anything in the past few matches. Oddly enough during that dreadful points dock season he was also the only Milan player to come out of the season with any credibility, QUOTE But really, you're not leaving us a lot of room for discussion are you Danny? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) We're f@cked! Now what? 2 things need to happen for this club to get out of this mire. One would be the end of the Berlusconi and Galliani 'reign'. A second would be Leo returning to TD and we get in an experienced coach. Get to the end of the season with a credible top 4 finish and then drastically overhaul the playing staff next summer. |

Change 'bar' with 'especially' and I wholeheartedly agree with you on Seedorf!

If you haven't wisened up already...he's got a thing for you. He's already imagining you dripping in honey with cream on your erm....use your imagination dude....
So he'll be on you for a while. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) j/k. Don't worry about him. He's mostly harmless. He likes to think he's gay that's all! We all love him to bits over here. |

Smile (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I never took myself seriously but surely the fact he was great against Marseille and mediocre against Bologna (he's not the first player to score a goal while playing badly) does not prove he does not "view the ball like a hot potato". |

I didn't say he in particular doesn't, I simply said he is one of the few to have the composure to do something. Although, in saying that, I would say he views it as slightly less of a hot potato than some of his team mates. |

This team and management is absolutely horrible. not in a 100% agreement..this team has some bright points..even if they are a little dull at the moment Pato..19 and a potential world player of the year Silvia....looks good along Nesta definately Milan standard defender Abate...looks better with each game Storari...good season so far and more solid than anything we've had for a while Now the bad points.... Leo...a great man but not a top class coach..who's to say he won't be 1 day just not now Finances...churned over a million times on here so no need to go into them again Berlusconi....him being P.M is a big pain in the rear, without that job maybe a little free spending would occur All in all this is the worst side for a decade easily but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel..perhaps we're waiting for the right man to hit the switch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
