Yeah. Even Max is sick of han! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Ronaldinho plays piss poorly 90% of his games, I've already said what I think of him. When Robinho gets in form, you can forget about your sweet-@ss Dinho for good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

My Dinho?! nah, there's the one and only Pato for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

I know Robinho will be back to form some day. until that day, he can keep the cold bench company!

As for the game, the fact we didn't really face any major risk bar the goal is good enough for me. The goals will eventually come, it's the defensive aspect we must improve. Ajax kept pushing and pushing, but they produced little to nothing. We didn't incur any embarrassing counter-attacks as against Cesena, Auxerre and Catania. Moreover, the team who had the most attempts at goal and scoring opportunities was Milan.

See it as you like, but last night's performance was a positive one as far as I'm concerned.

And the fact that Ajax completely dominated midfield battle worries ME. watching Seedorf strolling out there, gasping for breath, Gattuso running around like a headless chicken, making unnecessary fouls and Flamini playing as if he's lost it worries me. yes our dense is (or will be eventually) very good, same for our attack. but our midfield is our weak link. and that worries me. watching AC Milan playing with a send-a-long-ball-to-Zlatan-and-see-if-he-can-do-something tactic worries me...

I don't know.. maybe I worry too much! time will tell.

Anyone who says anything remotely positive about Dinho is a fanboy, so don't bother (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

And agree with that 2nd part to an extent! The midfield was starting to look better some in the begining of the second half then the unneccassary Boateng change distrupted whatever momentum they were building. Also Rino is looking a lot better these days, his problem is stamina. He still thinks he can run like a maniac for 90 plus minutes but that's not the case anymore. Rino cannot accept that his body has it's limitations, which is why he shouldn't play more then 45 to 60 minutes per match and no more then once a week. Completely agree with the Seedorf part, Dinho gets criticized for it and now that Seedorf did it, he's suddenly playing great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) He played like cr@p then put in two brilliant passes, which should have been 2 scored goal (Robinho's big chance)

As for the punt the ball to Zlatan tactic we're currently adapting. That is what worries me most tbh. I'd like to see us try to play without him at this point (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

I really don't see what's there to worry about. Frankly, I don't even think that's the case. Zlatan is our offensive terminal, so of course he will be involved in most of our actions. But it's not like we pass the ball to Zlatan, hoping he'll invent something out of nowhere. That's Dinho's case.

Lazio, Genoa, and one of the Auxerre goals, that's more then half the goals he's scored and more then half the goals Milan has scored since Zlatan came. To me that's worrying. The only real team moves I've seen were is goal against Auxerre where Dinho crossed in and Boateng set it up and the one against Ajax, both goals scored in the CL where teams open up more then the ones in Serie A do.

The team is not really giving Zlatan any other balls to work with, he hasn't had a tap-in opportunity or something remotely simple.

Now Imagine us playing without him, especially now that Pato was out injured...

This all sometimes gets me. I don't understand why at mf you can support some of Milans players (like Pato, Robinho,...) while on the other hand when you state your support to other players (Ronaldinho, Dida, Inzaghi,...) you mostly get posts where other call him crap, sh@t, or something else. Don't we care about feelings anymore? Don't we love Milan, and at least try to like most of the players? We all really should think about this - exactly this is the point of this site named Milanfan not Pippofan or Patofan.

And why is fanboy so embaressing? Does that mean someone is biased and all his judgement is incorrect? When did objectivity started to play such a big role in football. Last time I remembered, part of the joy football brings is that you simply cannot be objective enough, therefore it's normal to be at least a bit subjetive - that's why people belive and support for various clubs and teams.

Couldn't agree more. I read through the forums and have this itchy finger that wants to reply, but as I read more into 'replies to the initial post' I start to wonder if it is really worth replying to. People are at times too premature in their assesments and hence make a world class player like Clarence or Ronaldinho look like garbage.

I think as a club we have done very well, considering the changes and uncertainties that we have been faced with. We have a strong overall squad that can do a lot; not saying we will win anything noteworthy, but if our performance against Parma in the 1st half was anything to go by, I'd say we have a team that clicks. Just a matter of finishing off chances in the final third of the pitch.
