Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 3 2007, 11:45 PM
Many people think the CL's where we belong... but I'm going for a surprise win for Shakhtar. unless we have Ronaldo up front, which is not likely to happen.
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Nov 3 2007, 11:49 PM
1-3 away win for Milan 
Shakhtar is not an easy opponent, but Milan will be up for it.
Posted by: Portikins Nov 3 2007, 11:50 PM
A home win or a tie.
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 4 2007, 12:07 AM
Shakhtar is not an easy opponent, but Milan will be up for it.
Remember there's no Janku and Oddo. and Cafu [who played a full match tonight] will be too exhausted to run after Shakhtar players' @sses over 90 minutes. the same goes for the other players, too.
The two-day interval between these two matches is not sufficient for recovery at all, especially now the players are let down.
We will be lucky to grab a point over there...

please Ronaldo...

Tie =/
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 4 2007, 04:40 AM
I can't see us winning. Eastern European teams are very hard to beat on their own turf. If Celtic can't win there, neither can we. 2-1 to the Ukrainians.
Posted by: dst Nov 4 2007, 11:19 AM
We will this one or concede late in the game and draw.
Posted by: redbabies Nov 4 2007, 12:04 PM
0-2

Bonera will play ar RB (better than Cafu in defence), while Sergio at LB.
Posted by: jefri91 Nov 4 2007, 02:29 PM
We just tied a game at home. Milan is hungry as hell for a win. This is ours 3-0 atleast
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Nov 4 2007, 03:20 PM
To see the silver lining in the clouds is very commendable. But f@ck man...ur talking as if the Ukraine is El Dorado.Shakthar are gonna play physical, they'll play Empoli style. They think they've got the players to beat us down, and kill us on the counter. Group stage match, only the points matter, this is what they'll do.
No yoann for this one. But I would play every one else. Maybe put in a 3-5-2.

Posted by: Tennie Nov 4 2007, 03:25 PM
Well.
We've got Oddo back, Il Capitano will probably play since he's called up and that brazilian Ari likes so much was called up.
Should be interesting.
Posted by: Minami Nov 4 2007, 03:40 PM
I going for a 3:1 for us
Ronaldo is back and that should give us some certainty to score!!!
Can't wait to see him back on the pitch

, Kakà .Wow. O Fenomeno's back! what a fvcking boost!! actually this is the first time this season that our squad looks like a European champions' one! only if Marek was there too
I said Milan will lose because I thought Ronaldo and Oddo wouldn't make this game, but apparently they will. so I'm going for Milan win!
forza milan
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Nov 4 2007, 04:45 PM
Sergio's a long way from being 6 feet under. Have faith.
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 4 2007, 04:56 PM
I have faith in Serginho, In fact I prefer a one-legged Sergio to Favalinho at best. but he's 35 (or 36?), he looked too tired last night and I'm afraid he won't be able to give 100% on Tuesday night.

Posted by: Darunia Nov 4 2007, 06:52 PM
Dida
Oddo-Nesta-Maldini-Serginho
Gattuso-Pirlo-Seedorf
Kaka
Ronaldo-Gilardino
!!! that lineup would be great, don't know if Ronaldo can play from the start yet.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Nov 4 2007, 06:54 PM
?!!Nope...I think this one is rossonero, though he moonlights as a penguin sometimes...some cute girl in Turin.
But then you know all about Juventus girls don't you R7...
@ Darunia,
That would have been our old formation, if you'd put Cafu instead of Oddo, and Sheva for Ronaldo. Maybe Pippo in Gila's place.
That was my favourite Milan formation under Carletto. Looks like a 4-3-1-2, but often times, when Nesta-Maldini combo were at their brilliant best, it would be this simply devastating 3-4-1-2(Kala instead of Sergio sometimes) *sigh*....man what a game we used to play then!!

Posted by: Jack Sparrow Nov 5 2007, 04:45 AM
I hope Carlo does a Gourcuff with him.
Bring him on last 5 mins, and then since he doesn't score, bench him for the next 10 matches.
It would be great to hang out with ari then!!
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 5 2007, 06:13 AM
yeah well i don't think i'll be sticking around here expressing my grief and sadness. i'll be on the next plane to Milan, destination: Carlo's Crib; with my AK47. .... nothing personal...

And it was the same team they cheered for, today they mock. And they call themselves fans. Hypocrits
@Jack ... What Juve girl
Posted by: han2503 Nov 5 2007, 04:26 PM
Celtic are terrible away from home. So I don't see how that is something we should go on
And FINALLY we have Ronaldo back. But I personally can't see him starting this one. If he's not ready for a full 90 minutes I can see him coming later on into the match especially if we're drawing or losing
I think the most probably formation will be
Oddo--Nesta--Kala--Maldini
----Rino---Pirlo---Ambro----
-------Seedorf--Kaka--------
-------------Gila--------------
Ronaldo to come in for Ambro in the second half and switch to a 4-3-1-2
And it's Gila's turn to score another brace in this game since he seems to be doing it in every other game
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Nov 5 2007, 04:26 PM
Well there was this little incident that ended Milan-3 Juve-0. But then you'd have no idea about it now would you?
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 5 2007, 05:57 PM
Oddo--Nesta--Kala--Maldini
----Rino---Pirlo---Ambro----
-------Seedorf--Kaka--------
-------------Gila--------------
Maldini as LB? can he handle it?
Why not bench Kala, let Maldini play where he can give 100% (CB) and appoint Sergio for the left?! it's better that way.
And it was the same team they cheered for, today they mock. And they call themselves fans. Hypocrits
1) who mocked?! we're just worried about how things are going on. from now on, at your command, I won't complain about our results, satisfied?!
2) your position on this issue is not inimitable tbh, it's so easy to sit back, relax and always claim we'll come through these difficult moments. but hey, we people are different from each other. some prefer to show no sign of worries (even if they really are worried) but some people can't. is that a reason for you to call the latter mocking hypocrites?!!! ... rethink please!So please stop this sh1t already!
thank you

thank you I agree 100%.
It'd be like losing at home to some 2nd rate team, the fans will boo and jeer at the end of the game. They're not glory hunters, they're showing their frustration. Just as I, zdr, Porty, bigmac and many others do on this forum.
When someone is passionate about something, they can't help but be sad or whatever by something, it doesn't mean they're wrong or horrible people. Some people just show more frustration/anger than others.
Posted by: MizNelson Nov 5 2007, 06:15 PM
Celtic haven't kept a clean sheet on the road for well over a year, if not longer. When Boruc was in the headlines for his Old Firm flap a few weeks ago, fans took the opportunity to roast him for that.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Nov 5 2007, 06:15 PM
@kurt- I understand what you're saying, maybe it's that some of us come from that place called - 'Been there done that, sh!thole goes far deeper than this!'
It's just irksome how we keep getting on each other's nerves.
Posted by: Tennie Nov 5 2007, 06:16 PM
Maldini can play LB, sure. I'd rather see him in the center and Kaladze on the left though if we must play that back line (I'd bench Kaladze and play Sergio).
I think we've got on this board a real difference in philosophy and outlook. There are the oldtimers (like me and R7) who have followed Milan for as long as (if not longer than) a good percentage of other posters have been alive. We see things differently than the very enthusiastic young fans do. I think R7 and I would agree that Milan is more than just football. There's a certain class about Milan - even when the team is doing poorly like now - that just is not present at any other team. Milan is also not a team that's going to go for the instant gratification 'we want a title now and we're going to spend a zillion euros to do it' sort of team like Chelsea is. If that's the team you want to follow, then I suggest Milan may not be right for you. Milan takes the long view (ie, PATO). And Milan so far hasn't been proved long in the long view.
That's why it bothers us oldtimers (and makes me want to reach for my fish woobie to hit people with) when there's a constant barrage of team-bashing and general wailing and gnashing of teeth. There's a difference between constructive criticism and 'zomg, they all suck'. The former, I'm all in favor of. The latter - which is all too common right now - I don't bother reading.

Yeah hypocrites !! You said that at the beginning of this season you were all for Milan and now you are against all that you have said
That's a hypocrite attribute. (oh I forgot Ronaldo got injured )There is a line you would draw between being worried and supporting the team at the same time and completely bashing the team. I am of the former group, worried and supporting the team! Whereas, u choose to bash the team.
Don't let me hold you back
Go right ahead, but when this very team comes back with the CL trophy and CWC, I would expect ur hypocritical tendencies to react again

If we have a bad game, I'm not going to just be "Oh well, you win some, you lose some." To me that's just not passionate, it doesn't even sound like I care. I'm obviously going to be annoted and angry.
When we win, of course I'm going to celebrate and be happy. It's not being a hypocrite, that's football.
And no R7, I'm not accusing you not caring. I think it's clear to us all that you do.

Posted by: Tennie Nov 5 2007, 06:59 PM
The fish doll would disapprove. You make fun of his sharp-toothed piranha cousins!
To talk about the game (this IS a match thread), I didn't pick up a whole lot of note in my brief skimming of the news conferences on acmilan.com's italian pages. Carletto /did/ say that he wasn't sure /how long/ Ronie would play though, so that's a hint that he will play some time. Also, the player who spoke along with Carletto was Kaladze. Could be because he used to play in the Ukraine. But usually, the player who does the pregame press conference also starts so....*passes the vodka bottle to dst* looks like Kaladze will be somewhere in defense.
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 5 2007, 07:02 PM
Either that or say something nice about Dida.. She can't resist that.
Thanks God! How long has it been since we last saw R9 play!?

Yeah, just like our Rossoneri heroes Problem is, I am trying so hard to convince people like you that there is a brighter side to look at things, instead you dwell on the present hardships.
p.s. Ridiculous ?! U were the one to reply to my post and now u call it ridiculous !!
Posted by: Tennie Nov 5 2007, 07:25 PM
Jack, if it were the good stuff (or even the mediocre stuff like Absolut), I'd have kept it for myself.
Anyway...
Milan will wear their white kit tomorrow for the game and they'll all have black armbands as a sign of mourning for the passing of Nils Liedholm. And, as mentioned elsewhere, there'll be a minute of silence before the game.

Hi! This is the Shakhtar-Milan match thread! In between the bickering (and yes, I know I'm as bad as anyone else this time) I'd like to discuss the match.
Given what Carletto said in his press conference (http://www.acmilan.com/NewsDetail.aspx?idNews=55673), I'm going to guess that the lineup will look something like this:
Dida
Oddo Nesta Kaladze/Maldini Kaladze/Serginho
Gattuso Pirlo Ambrosini
Kaka Seedorf
Gilardino
(if Carletto is feeling conservative against a very physical team away)
OR something like this:
Dida
Oddo Nesta Maldini/Kaladze Kaladze/Serginho
Gattuso Pirlo Seedorf
Kaka
Gilardino Ronaldo
(if Carletto is feeling a little adventurous and if Ronnie is somewhere approaching match fit)
I don't think this will be an easy game. Shakhtar are no pushovers and they're very strong at home. I'd prefer a win but I'd be perfectly happy with a draw.

theres that word, "bashing"
Bash: To criticize (another) harshly, accusatorially, and threateningly: "He bashed the . . . government unmercifully over the . . . spy affair" (Lally Weymouth).
hmm lemme see, if pointing out certain flaws, different ways too improve the team is considred bashing then i'm guilty, or maybe your just overly sensitive. after all who was right when some of us saw this coming? i mean it's just great using such strong term freely especially when it's completely unjustified.
Posted by: KillerMax Nov 6 2007, 12:36 AM
Seems like Ronaldo has a lot of desire to play. He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone, but he could easily get injured again, which is not reassuring.
And on Gila, I think he is a bit tired. He has been playing a lot lately and he has a tendency to disappear toward the end of every game. I still think Gila - Ronnie can be very useful but the real satisfaction will come after January with Pato and Ronnie playing together. They'll help us tear down defenses especially when you consider we don't have the fastest full backs in the world.
For this game, I want a win, of course. Doesn't matter how long Ronnie plays, as long as he gets more match fit and doesn't get injured. But I wouldn't be surprised to see a moment of brilliant magic.
Posted by: Darunia Nov 6 2007, 01:52 AM
My guess is Gila will start and Ronaldo will be brought on with 30 minutes left... but who knows, maybe R9 from the start

If he really means it, expect a tough game for us.
Shakhtar Boss: We'll Defend Hard Against Milan
Shakhtar Donestk coach Mircea Lucescu has warned fans not to expect any repeat of the 4-1 thriller at the San Siro as his side prepare to welcome AC Milan to Ukraine...
Shakhtar coach Mircea Lucescu has informed AC Milan that his side will defend heavily for the visit of the Italian giants.
"From the outset, we'll be much more careful than we were there," he said.
"We will not attempt to replicate Celtic's approach against the Italians."
Celtic won 2-1 against the Italian cracks at Parkhead, of course, but Lucescu has not promised a similar result for the Shakhtar faithful.
"Both teams will play for victory, but if it's a draw I suppose both sides will be satisfied," he mused.
"We were criticised for not playing defensively in Milan but even at 2-0 down, we tried to show what we've got.
"We're in for a very tough match, but it will be tough for Milan too."
"We never give in. No matter how many players are left – ten, even nine – this team will battle to the last," he added, saluting his troops for their ten-man, 1-0 league win in the weekend derby.
As part of his new defensive philosophy, the former Besiktas coach has told his players to tighten up at dead ball situations.
"The most important thing is for us to avoid conceding goals from free-kicks and corners; I can remember a famous Andrés Palop goal from a corner which stole a victory against Sevilla from us," he bitterly recalled, reflecting on his team's recent UEFA Cup defeat.
Shakhtar sit joint top of Group D with Milan, having six points from a possible nine.

The fish woobie wants to know if this means he has a chance, then.
I just checked the Gazzetta online edition and they don't seem to have a guess at probable lineups.
Goal is predicting the following lineup: Dida; Oddo, Nesta, Kaladze, Maldini; Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Kakà , Seedorf; Gilardino
I suspect they may be mostly right, though it may be Pippo instead of Gila. Much as I'd like to see a 4-3-1-2, I think it'll stay a Christmas Tree formation, with Ronaldo coming on partway through the second half.

ANCELOTTI: "We have recovered"
11/6/2007
MILAN - Last night, following the team's training, the coach of Milan spoke to Milan Channel from the Ukrainian training camp: "All of our players have recovered from the match of a few days ago in the league. We must find our pace as soon as possible and the motivations must be at the top, both from the team and individual level. Ronaldo gave us a big help last year when he was at around 50% of his possibilities and therefore he will help us this year too."

Oh, Jack, you big softie. Don't you know I speak Beemer just to you? I wouldn't have said "horsepuckey" if I didn't care.
Sadly, I can't be here with my friends, but I have to be at work just before the match starts. See you tonight and Forza Milan!
Posted by: rhy_A4 Nov 6 2007, 07:08 PM
they are gunna defend very deep , just like Empoli did same game plan as them , gunna be different way different to the first match where they were as open as a door lol
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Nov 6 2007, 07:16 PM
They will conceed. I am sure about this.
Posted by: misha Nov 6 2007, 07:25 PM
We need the CL form Milan (dr jekyll) to beat them in Donetsk (BTW I was born near Donetsk ). The fans are pushing them there and they are playing very tough and confident. Add to that that their have also a good technical abilities and their know that a win today would put them very close to qualify to the 1/8 for the first time ever. Our league form (mr hyde), surely, won't be enough.

When will the official lineups be out??
Posted by: Tennie Nov 6 2007, 07:32 PM
Official lineups should be out in...about 15 minutes or so (one hour before the match starts).
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Nov 6 2007, 07:34 PM
I'd actually like to see Yoann start this one. Though it looks to be like it's gonna be the 4-4-2 diamond. Two strikers...been a damn long time.
Posted by: Tennie Nov 6 2007, 07:44 PM
I don't like it, but...this is what uefa.com is showing as the official starting lineup:
Dida
Bonera Nesta Kaladze Serginho
Gattuso Pirlo Ambrosini
Seedorf Kaka
Gilardino
Maldini, Oddo, Ronie, Pippo on the bench.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Nov 6 2007, 07:52 PM
Makes sense, no point pushing a just fit Ronnie into shark infested waters. Otherwise it's our strongest line up.
Posted by: misha Nov 6 2007, 07:54 PM
Bonera Nesta Kaladze Serginho
Gattuso Pirlo Ambrosini
Seedorf Kaka
Gilardino
Maldini, Oddo, Ronie, Pippo on the bench.
It's o.k. The only thing I would change is Paolo instead Kaladze. Oddo obviously isn't ft to satrt so Bonera will give us more defence at RB and I prefer him over Cafu at this point.

Shakthar playing with 10 men behind the ball
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 6 2007, 08:59 PM
nice chip from Nesta to Gila, controls it well with his chest but defender pulls the ball away from him..
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 6 2007, 09:09 PM
Shakhtar come close to a goal.. lucky the header was straight at Dida!
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 6 2007, 09:15 PM
Schalke owning Chelsea so far btw.
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 09:15 PM
We haven't done anything note worthy so far.
Everytime Gila, Kaka or Seedorf get near the ball they are being crowded out by at least 3 players
Posted by: rhy_A4 Nov 6 2007, 09:16 PM
i see Dida is keeping warm while we attack Shkhtar looks like hes warming up doing some exercises must be very very cold
Posted by: rhy_A4 Nov 6 2007, 09:17 PM
Everytime Gila, Kaka or Seedorf get near the ball they are being crowded out by at least 3 players
i knew theyd do they they are playing like Empoli
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 09:18 PM
We need Ronaldo to come on in the second half if we want to open them up.
Also the only thing Ambro is doing is fouling, he isn't even covering his flank Seedorf has to keep going back to defend that area and that's where all the crosses are coming infrom
btw Kaka yellow
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 09:20 PM
AHH!!!
Just dodged a bullet by a fraction there
Posted by: rhy_A4 Nov 6 2007, 09:20 PM
yes we need another foward they cant mark everyone
Posted by: fresh_prince7 Nov 6 2007, 09:20 PM
Kaka' got a card for? Unusual, I'm assuming from frustration of this 3-man crowding tactic.
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 6 2007, 09:21 PM
did Dida save that!!!?
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 09:22 PM
Lost the ball tried to slide tackle the player from behind
no, didn't touch it but if the on coming player had touched that it would have been a goal
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 09:23 PM
Left flank being exposed time and time again.
Where the hell is Ambro??
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 6 2007, 09:24 PM
Gila is getting @ss treatment
Posted by: Tennie Nov 6 2007, 09:24 PM
(In a shout out to Locke, Rosenborg lead Valencia 1-0 at the Mestalla).
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 6 2007, 09:24 PM
It was quite a dirty fould really, he lost the ball and took the guy out from behind. I think it is through frstration though. Our only attack minded players are being swarmed whenever they get near the ball.
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 09:25 PM
Gila looks to be in some pain from a hit on his back
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 09:26 PM
That;s why we need ronaldo. Carlo should take Ambro off and put him on in the second half
Posted by: armisse Nov 6 2007, 09:28 PM
so everybody in the world now know that Milan have problems with tight spaces , Lucescu too , what a smart !!!!!
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 6 2007, 09:29 PM
Everytime Gila, Kaka or Seedorf get near the ball they are being crowded out by at least 3 players
The teams know how to keep Milan danger at bay. nothing new.
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 09:32 PM
Kaka is being battered out there. Can't get near the ball without being fouled. At least the yellows are coming out now
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 6 2007, 09:32 PM
HT 0-0
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 09:33 PM
Terrible first half, haven't created at least ONE decent chance
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 6 2007, 09:36 PM
A goal just went in from the other game in our group.
Celtic 1-0 Benfica
Aiden McGeady, right on half time.
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 6 2007, 09:36 PM
I'm still waiting for that 'turning point' Carlo's been talking about for weeks... I can't believe how inconsistent we have been this season.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Nov 6 2007, 09:39 PM
Exactly. Terrible. I mean, we're not playing terrible, its just that they defend with 10 men. Ronaldo has to come in.
Only chance for us today is through the wings. Sergio is doing allright, Bonera impressed me defensively but he can't attack. So if it stays 0-0 after 70 minutes, Cafu should get in.
Posted by: bigmacmtl Nov 6 2007, 09:39 PM
ya people know how to shut us down, i wouldnt be surprised if bigger teams use it against us if we make the knockout stages.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Nov 6 2007, 09:40 PM
Knockout stages are a complete different world.
Posted by: bigmacmtl Nov 6 2007, 09:43 PM
ya well if it's that easy to frustrate us then any team can use it. the only difference is bigger teams like man u, chelsea have more quality than a team like shakhtar.
Posted by: elcordobez Nov 6 2007, 09:47 PM
Looks cold out there
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 09:52 PM
We keep trying to do the same thing over and over again, build up slowly from defence and try to go from the middle. We need some new ideas if we want to do anything. Plus Ronaldo needed to come on the second this half started
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 6 2007, 09:52 PM
Jesus! I thought that went in!
Posted by: misha Nov 6 2007, 09:53 PM
I wouldn't risk to play him out there. In tough game like that, the risk of an injury is too high.
Posted by: Tennie Nov 6 2007, 09:53 PM
For those of you watching the game: any SIGN of anyone on the Milan bench warming up yet? And yeah, we need to move down the flanks if Shakhtar has parked the bus.
Posted by: HasanHasanly Nov 6 2007, 09:53 PM
that was a killer :| close call by shakhtar
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 09:54 PM
Again the chace being made from the left side.
Ambro needs to cover his god damn flank!! Sergio isn't a natural defender so he needs all the help he can get
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 09:55 PM
Not yet
Posted by: misha Nov 6 2007, 09:55 PM
Benayoun scored two goals already

Is it easy to sit back and relax ?! Show signs of worry ?!
The f2ck r u saying ?!
Yeah hypocrites !! You said that at the beginning of this season you were all for Milan and now you are against all that you have said
That's a hypocrite attribute. (oh I forgot Ronaldo got injured )There is a line you would draw between being worried and supporting the team at the same time and completely bashing the team. I am of the former group, worried and supporting the team! Whereas, u choose to bash the team.
Don't let me hold you back
Go right ahead, but when this very team comes back with the CL trophy and CWC, I would expect ur hypocritical tendencies to react again quit being disrespectful, especially if ur going to accuse other of doing so.

Pippo on for Gila.

So do we think ronaldo will come on at all?

Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 6 2007, 10:18 PM
I can't believe we're winning this. It's been a very average performance, and they've created more chances than us. A very big win for us, and a very hard place to win at!
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 10:18 PM
left side again, han
Can't believe Carlo has done nothing to correct that. It's so obvious that they targeted that side as the weak point
Posted by: rhy_A4 Nov 6 2007, 10:19 PM
think Ronnie needs to come on but they are playing very rough so i dont think hes gunna come on and risk him !
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 10:20 PM
btw, since we all like to criticise Dida, would just like to point out how well he's played and he looks like he's gotten his confence back and is very sure of himself when coming out for arial balls

Posted by: Tennie Nov 6 2007, 10:22 PM
Are you just trying to suck up to BMW, han?
I agree though, based on the commentary and on what I've seen of the last couple of games. Dida seems to have exorcized his demons.
Posted by: bigmacmtl Nov 6 2007, 10:22 PM
good for him. we more important positions to fill so we'll be fine with him for now. but he is 36? so it's only a matter of time.
Posted by: rhy_A4 Nov 6 2007, 10:22 PM
MALDINI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: han2503 Nov 6 2007, 10:22 PM
Finally Carlo actually doing something to fix what I've been talking about all night
Maldini will probably play LB and Sergio in Seedorf's place
Posted by: HasanHasanly Nov 6 2007, 10:23 PM

How's the Celtic match going?
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 6 2007, 10:34 PM
Celtic are running down the clock at the corner flag. Should finish 1-0, they're already well into added time.

Was awesome to watch. Got back defended hard, created plenty of good chances. Benayoun played a cracker of a game. Imagine if torres had played..

WHAT A PLAY!!!!
3-0!!!
Very unselfish from Kaka
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 6 2007, 10:38 PM
A very good win. The score flatters us though, I felt they created more chances.
Dida had a good game, made one or two great saves, we finished the chances we got and got a huge 3 points. Pippo is a CL machine!
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 6 2007, 10:39 PM
another sweet away win!
FORZA MILAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!

Very, very impressive display by Inzaghi.
What a poacher...and Kaka is out of this world.

Posted by: bigmacmtl Nov 6 2007, 10:51 PM

Posted by: Warchant Nov 6 2007, 11:03 PM

i come back from my meeting at it's 3-0
awesome!
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 6 2007, 11:03 PM
I didn't see the match, so no comment. congratulations, but it's home league games we have been struggling in, not the CL or away league games.
Posted by: Tennie Nov 6 2007, 11:05 PM
Hrm. We lose Ambro for the next game due to accumulation of cards. I'm just now seeing the game on replay (it's just started). Credit to the Shakhtar crowd for being respectful during the moment of silence.
Posted by: Darunia Nov 6 2007, 11:08 PM
I wish I could watch replay...
oh well, no Ambro, maybe we'll start with Ronaldo + Pippo/Gila next time.
Posted by: aLbErTo Nov 6 2007, 11:10 PM
grande pippo just exactly what we needed although, some shakhtar players had played really good (srna, fernandinho)...now shall we get 3 points in the weekend for god sake...
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Nov 6 2007, 11:11 PM
Notice how their striker 'Brandao' hits Gattuso in the face (close to the flag, between the throwin and the corner), then while Gattuso is on the ground he kicks the ball on Gattuso and the ball rolls out for a throw in... The f2cker then points to a throw in for his team. (this happens in the 2nd half) ; fair play huh

Atalanta? Away? My tip - Milan win with ease. Ronnie's back!
Posted by: Nova Nov 6 2007, 11:15 PM
Well , overall we played a bad game . Too many bad passes & we kept losing the ball ...
Im glad with the 0-3 and I take it with open arms . 
Also great pass by kaka, very unselfish ! Bravo !
A great victory , now lets take revenge against celtic
Forza Milan !
Posted by: Tennie Nov 7 2007, 12:06 AM
Hrm. Y'know, I'm rather impressed by Shakhtar's Srna. He's quite good, had a couple of good shots on goal and tore our left flank to shreds. We might want to keep him in mind.
Posted by: rhy_A4 Nov 7 2007, 12:29 AM
any chance anyone can tell me how i can watch the full match i keep getting the DRM error on UEFA.com i have full subsciption i paid £30
Posted by: nmcg Nov 7 2007, 02:01 AM
forza milan great win kaka king inzaghi god
Posted by: Diavolo Nov 7 2007, 02:30 AM
Did you guys see, that after we scored, boys around the pitch (ball deliverers) started jumping from happines and got all excited. It' s quite funny if you consider that they are Shaktar Donetsk young players .
But well, who could blame them - after all, there is only ONE MILAN!
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Nov 7 2007, 02:51 AM
Good win, and I'm even happier we won without having to use Oddo and/or R99.
So that's two good subs we have available...
Can anybody post some ratings, or personal viewpoints.
Yes Forza Milan...we all know that, how about talking some football now??!!!
Posted by: Tennie Nov 7 2007, 03:31 AM
datasport doesn't usually do ratings for CL games but goal.com's italian page has done. (http://www.goal.com/it/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=472089)
Here are mine:
Dida: Good saves. he's got his mojo back. 6.5
Bonera: for someone who's not a natural RB, he did awfully well shutting the offense on his side down. 7
Nesta: Nesta was...his usual self. Very good. 7.
Kaladze: Despite the headbang with Dida, no real mistakes to speak of. Went forward a couple of times. Probably 6 - 6.5.
Serginho: Not a lot of effectiveness on offense and, well, the guy's a winger and not a defender. 5.5.
Gattuso: Snarling and tenacious as usual, but nothing absoulutely stellar. 6.
Pirlo: Beautiful passing and one hell of a good job dispossessing Shakhtar of the ball that led to an assist and Pippo's first goal. 7.
Ambrosini: Usually always somewhere around a 7, but not today. Dumb fouls and just seemed out of his depth. 5.5.
Turtle: Decently well, but not the sparkling performances he's had in the last few games. 6.
Kaka: Kicked to death like a number of other Milan players, but didn't need to retaliate and get that yellow. Nicely taken goal and selfless assist to Pippo for his second. 7.
Gilardino: Just doesn't have the bloody-mindedness for CL play, I think. Couldn't find a way around a very determined Shakhtar defense. 5.5.
Pippo: Involved in all 3 Milan goals. Scored the first after 90 seconds on the pitch, assist on the second, scored the third and tied Gerd Muller's record. Pippo really is an immortal. 8.

*kisses Jack after having eaten a bag of Doritos*
Wow, that seemed like a hell of a match. It looked like a repeat of Samp all over again. The rat bastards at FSC don't show Milan's CL replays anymore. I snuck onto the net at work a few times to see what was happening.
Great to see MVPippo again, as he's been waiting to do this all season.
From what I've read on other threads, it was so cold that Dida was trying to stay warm during the match (it must suck to be a GK sometimes), and what happened between him and Kaladze?
Posted by: BrigateRossonere Nov 7 2007, 10:05 AM
Let's never play any matches at the San Siro. It seems to work.
FORZA MILAN!
Posted by: Tennie Nov 7 2007, 01:21 PM
Gol TV will be replaying the match on Thursday, BMW, if you get it.
As for the collision, they both went up for a ball and, well, ran into each other.
Posted by: jefri91 Nov 7 2007, 02:58 PM
who da man?
ME LOL

Unfortunately, I don't have Gol TV, just FSC.
Well, they probably didn't feel anything because it was so darn cold.

MILAN - Liverpool-Besiktas of yesterday night became the record-breaking victory in the modern Champions League, which began in 1992-93. The Anfield Road match beat the previous record, both 7-0 home wins, by Juve against Olympiakos on 10 December 2003 and Arsenal against Slavia Prague on 23 October this year. But the Italian record in the European Cup is held by Milan, who on 12 september 1962 beat Union Luxemburg 8-0.
Posted by: MizNelson Nov 7 2007, 08:20 PM
Yeah, I was also like, "What's the big deal?" Doesn't everyone beat Luxembourg 8-0 nowadays?

I wish! *sighs*
I grabbed it from an animated short on SKY Life that featured Carlo as Forrest Gump. It's so cute even though I don't know what they're saying.
