Super difficult game but with our situation we cannot lose points anymore. We should build on Cagliari game and make last decisive run in the league.

Posted by: Darunia Apr 6 2008, 04:26 AM

No defenders for this game =/

Kalac
Cafu Bonera Maldini Favalli
Gattuso Pirlo Seedorf
Kaka
Inzaghi Pato

Although I wouldn't be surprised if Carlo used x-mas tree with Pato the lone striker, although Inzaghi's brace may have earned him a starting spot. If Favalli can't make it then Simic starts in the middle and Bonera will probably be moved onto the left.

Posted by: Habitant Apr 6 2008, 04:32 AM

yep i really do despise the zebras, lets beat em!

Posted by: kurtsimonw Apr 6 2008, 05:28 AM

We haven't got a reliable keeper, we've barely got any defenders. I see nothing but a Juve win to be honest. 2-0.

Posted by: Devillito Apr 6 2008, 06:40 AM

The team knew more than anyone else that we need a victory.
There is no margin for error.
Just take a few leaps of faith mate!!

Prediction: 1(Milan) - 0(Juventus)
Forza Milan

Posted by: redbabies Apr 6 2008, 10:08 AM

If Klinsman or Wenger would be our coach, Kalac would probably be on the bench against Juve, and Dida will get his chance.

I'm trying to be optimistic, but I just can't... Juve win.

Posted by: han2503 Apr 6 2008, 11:50 AM

Our defence will probably prove to be the reason why we won't take full points from this one. Especially since we barely even have one left...

It will probably look something like this

Cafu--Simic--Maldini--Banera

Cafu was hardly impressive yesterday but he is the only choice unless Carlo is will to play Brocchi there, which imo would be better then Cafu, he is fast, can cross and marginally good defensively. Atleast I would be more at rest with him there instead of the Cafu we saw yesterday

I would really like to see Bonera in the center again, but at the moment we have no choice, Maldini would be better suited playing next to Simic since Bonera and Simic are too much alike and have never really impressed when playing together.

And I don't think Maldini can handle a full game against Juve playing as a LB, especially since he will most likely have to play a full 90 minutes since we have no other subs for the defence

Posted by: redbabies Apr 6 2008, 12:00 PM

^^^
I hope Simic plays too, but I doubt it!

Posted by: gal_kenny Apr 6 2008, 02:19 PM

is nesta available for this game?

Posted by: Tennie Apr 6 2008, 02:26 PM

No, Nesta's suspended for the game. He picked up a 2-game ban last weekend unfortunately. The defense is going to be...a little scary for this one.

Posted by: maldini03 Apr 6 2008, 06:02 PM

Maybe our savior Digao will play.
We are very lucky to have him.......




Juve is tricky they give up a sillygame to Reggina but peform against the big teams. We do have a good setup with Seedorf Pirlo and Kaka in the midfield with a quick Pato up front or a sly Inzaghi.

If we play like we need the 3 points which we do and we play do or die i think we can play the Seedorf card because they will have to play Sissoko on Kaka and Camoranesi on Pirlo Seedorf should be freed up to get the ball to Pato who will easily be able to take the Juve defense. Its the monster they have for a keeper im worried about.

If we put all of the pressure on them and their defense they should crack alowing us to attack quickly. No silly mistakes at the back and an on form Kaka we could win 1-0 or 2-0.

Without the cards going our way they could easily win 2-0

Posted by: zdrossoneri Apr 6 2008, 06:19 PM

I'm sure Pato would be honored to beat the best 'keeper in the world.

As for this game, if we want a win we must attack... constantly. considering our defense situation we cannot sit back and defend at all. so no silly Christmas tree for this one, Carlo...

Posted by: maldini03 Apr 6 2008, 06:41 PM

Yes, we have to put all of the pressure on the Juve defense because lets face it they are poor and have no skill when it comes to players like Pato who can run at them. Chellini and Legrotalie IMO arent skilled at all they use brute forse and tricky fouls to stop attackers. We also need to have Seedorf ready to play because Kaka wont get an inch and Pirlo will not be allowed to move.

Posted by: redbabies Apr 6 2008, 08:52 PM

If Sissoko will mark Kaka, I'm telling you from now that we'll see a lot of magic from our Golden boy

Posted by: Habitant Apr 7 2008, 02:32 AM

if buve are smart they;ll put zanetti on kaka who's had success against him.

Posted by: Tennie Apr 7 2008, 02:48 AM

Zanetti's hurt - got hurt in the Genoa game and hasn't played since then (early March). According to the Juve website, he's still not training with the team.

No news on Nedved yet.

Posted by: MizNelson Apr 7 2008, 05:09 AM

Word. Plus, Dida regularly plays his best against Juve because he loves playing against Buffon.

Posted by: Tennie Apr 7 2008, 03:07 PM

There's talk that Milan may appeal Nesta's 2-game ban and try to get it reduced to 1 game so that he'll be available for this one.

Wouldn't hold my breath, though.

Posted by: kurtsimonw Apr 7 2008, 04:06 PM

I hope the Italian FA anything like the English one then. If you make an appeal without any good reason, they extend the ban. And I don't really think we have valid ground to make an appeal if I'm honest.

Posted by: Tennie Apr 7 2008, 04:46 PM

(from acmilan.com's italian page)

Today's training:
Pato, Janku, Favalli, and Emerson worked in the gym. The rest of the team - including Rino and Sergio - did the regular training, including ball possession drills and an 11x11 practice game.

Posted by: Darunia Apr 7 2008, 04:48 PM

Sergio is back.. finally. We may need him if all our other LBs are out.

Posted by: m1ke Apr 7 2008, 04:55 PM

Does anyone know what happened to Pato?

Posted by: Tennie Apr 7 2008, 04:58 PM

I think it's a thigh strain, Mike.

Posted by: m1ke Apr 7 2008, 05:17 PM

Ouch, a thigh strain? That's pretty bad - even a small one usually causes you to be out for around 3 weeks.

Posted by: kizo Apr 7 2008, 07:00 PM

There is chance that Nesta plays this game, the decision will be made Friday


"Will Nesta play? It will be discussed on Friday at noon, we hope to have him against Juventus." Galliani

Posted by: Bluesummers Apr 7 2008, 07:03 PM

so he isn't banned for two matches. he is injured.

Posted by: dst Apr 7 2008, 07:03 PM

I'm expecting a Bonera - Simic - God - Favalli defence line-up. Or maybe Bonera in the center as he's played more matches than the Croat.

Posted by: dst Apr 7 2008, 07:04 PM

No he is banned for two matches but we're appealing against it as it looks like.

Posted by: Tennie Apr 7 2008, 07:10 PM

^^^ What dst said. Galliani said that they were appealing the 2-game suspension (of which Nesta's already served 1 game) at the Lega meeting that's coming up.

Posted by: acid911 Apr 7 2008, 07:13 PM

Huh, I'm positively sure Pato might have slotted a couple in practice games against Dida. Don't you think?

Posted by: acid911 Apr 7 2008, 07:33 PM

Agreed. I'm usually a decently optimistic person, but even I'm not too sure we'll be seeing Dida anytime soon, what with only a handful of matches left till the end of the season. Oh well, that's the way with Carlo, I reckon.

Kalac is back to his usual self (7-8 goals in last five matches), and while everyone here appreciates what he's done these last couple of months, he seems to have gotten out of his purple patch. Confident, yes. Dependable, maybe. But he's not quite the keeper he was at the start of the year. Still, I hope he puts in a great performance this Sunday.

After all the pieces fall to place, I'd very much hate Dida's last match in Milan be Inter, December 2007.

Posted by: fahad Apr 7 2008, 08:06 PM

MILAN - Pavel Nedved talked about his conditions after leaving the hospital at Palermo, where he had been recovered after clashing heads with Guana yesterday: "I feel better today, better than yesterday. I was in the hospital, but everything's OK - the Czech player said - sometimes my head still spins. I was a bit scared."

Posted by: Darunia Apr 7 2008, 09:59 PM

"Galliani also said that a decision over whether Alessandro Nesta will play against Juve will be made on Friday at noon. The defender is struggling with injury.

"Will Nesta play? It will be discussed on Friday at noon, we hope to have him against Juventus."
"

I think goal.com is wrong, it's bout Nesta getting his suspension dropped to 1 game instead of 2, not injury.

Posted by: Habitant Apr 8 2008, 03:37 AM

sounds like a concussion

Posted by: arivanjj Apr 8 2008, 05:15 AM

I WANNA SEE DIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!

Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 8 2008, 09:57 AM

So now we all turn against Kalac? Hmh,..

Don't wanna harp you with that but,..I told 'y so..Kalac is sometimes good, but he makes mistakes that show he isn't a whole season keeper and first team player. Dida should now get his chance and stay with us at the end. If we wanna sell someone it should be Kalac, now that he is worth something (even after that Cagliari goal). We should also install Coppola as 3rd and this should be it!

Now for the game...anyone knows the score Carlo has against Juve and Ranieri?

Juve is the same ol' Juve some years ago, I mean the same style and mentality, but not that quality players. Iaquinta IMO will be the biggest problem, I hope he don't starts.

We just have to win this one and play with the same mentality as against Cagliari.

Posted by: Tennie Apr 8 2008, 12:20 PM

Double training session for Milan today. The morning session has taken place; it was all individualized work. Afternoon training will take place in...just over 90 minutes from when I'm posting.

The Zebras have an afternoon training session today, at which the conditions of Pavel Nedved and Cristiano Zanetti will be evaluated.

EDIT: Nedved's had another CAT-scan and has been examined by a neurosurgeon. He's been passed fit to resume activity and will train with the Zebras tomorrow (Wednesday). [from the zebra website]

Posted by: m1ke Apr 8 2008, 02:59 PM

It's a shame this game falls when it does - it could have been a great physiological boost to gain some points on Fio if we had an easier fixture. Although saying that, not many fixtures have been 'easy' this term.

You've got to admire Juve in the way that they've bounced back from last year. I still don't consider their squad to be the 3rd best in Serie A though, which I guess is a compliment to how well they've done this season. I know we can win this game if we play like we know Milan can, but I've no idea which Milan is going to turn up.

It'll leave a bitter taste if Inter beat Fio and we fail to capitalise on it.

Posted by: dst Apr 8 2008, 03:46 PM

Imagine if we beat Juventus, Inter and Fiorentina drew and Roma got all 3 points! Now that would be sweet!

Posted by: m1ke Apr 8 2008, 03:54 PM

^^ I'd still consider that a bad result for us! Inter have to beat Fio - I don't think we're in a position to cheer on Inter's rivals when we're 4 points away from a CL spot with 6 games to play

Posted by: dst Apr 8 2008, 04:20 PM

Even if Inter win, Fiorentina will have to fall again in the following games... it makes no big difference. What matters is that we win all games left if possible so that we take advantage of any occasional slip-up of theirs or pray that they lost points too when and if we do...

Posted by: Tennie Apr 8 2008, 04:32 PM

Afternoon training has taken place. Rino and Sergio trained with the group. Favster ran sprints - which I take as a sign he may be available if needed. Pirlo and Pato worked in the gym but I'm pretty sure they'll both be available. Janku and Emerson also worked in the gym and probably won't be.

Posted by: Jack Sparrow Apr 8 2008, 06:16 PM

It's wierd how sometimes the players we don't count on, turn out to be big trump cards.

This is kinda unrelated...but I remember last season, and we were not going great shakes at all (CL or League) and the board kept saying, We need Ambro back...it's vital...blah blah...and I went Pffffftt...but it turned out to be true.

Now this season, they say Pippo's injury and they seem to be being proved right as well.

I mean in the footballing theory sense (let's not get into the politics of Galliani and co. discussion)...but I wonder is there something about these players we don't know of. For instance, when Carletto says in his interview after 7 long years....that now he knows fully what his players can and cannot do...I think that's a deeper statement than most people give credit for .

Here for instance is where I think a lot of managers differ. I believe that Capello, Spalleti, Prandell, (now) Carletto, and SAF (I think this is his biggest USP in the EPL) do know this, while others like say...Rijkaard, Schuster, dare i say Mourinho don't.

Wenger is somewhere in between. He knows what his players can do at their best. But he is totally blind to them being at their worst.

I also believe this is what makes a coach do great things with what seems to be a weak team.


Juve v Milan.....maybe two strikers for this one...we'll look to press them in the beginning and then take a striker off for a DM. Usual tactic. If our players have continued the good work from Cagliari (and not hit a plateau) we might have a chance...

But the Milan team's performance this season, has been as predictable as a roulette wheel. So I'll not make any prophecies.

Posted by: dst Apr 8 2008, 06:36 PM

This is when we found our form last season (game at Bayern...) so I hope it is the same now.

I certainly disagree with the Mourinho part. If there's something this guy does better than anyone else it is bringing the best out of his players.

Posted by: Jack Sparrow Apr 8 2008, 06:52 PM

^^

misha would disagree...

I don't think he had his players completely. It's one thing to make the guys who like you play for you...but wasn't he kicked out..coz a lot of people didn't like him and I mean players.


Just like Sacchi was for us...

Posted by: morgoth Apr 8 2008, 06:53 PM

Did you guys know that Kaladze is suspended for this game?

We're doomed ...

Posted by: Tennie Apr 8 2008, 07:01 PM

Well, we may not be quite so doomed if Nesta's suspension is reduced to 1 game.

Another training note from the land of the Zebras: Del Piero trained separately today.

Posted by: morgoth Apr 8 2008, 07:11 PM

Are kidding this is Milan we're talking about not the zebras or la merda!
I'm quit sure he wont play

Posted by: MizNelson Apr 8 2008, 08:57 PM

Actually, his last match was against Napoli back in mid-January, in which he was pretty good.

People tend to forget that a practice injury coupled with Kalac's completely unexpected 15 minutes was what got him benched.

Posted by: Habitant Apr 9 2008, 12:04 AM

they make these sort of staments every week and say the same thing about every player.

and ambro was far from vital, he was helpful.

Posted by: han2503 Apr 9 2008, 11:53 AM

Very true. Everyone kept saying that last season we were amazing in the KOs of the CL, but what everyone keeps forgetting is the fact that we were luckluster against Celtic and the only reason we went through is because of Kaka (who this time was struggling through injury and wasn't in shape) and the fact that we were playing Celtic not Arsenal or any other top team for that matter.

So last season if we had gotten a tough tie like this season we would have probably gone out due to the fact that we only started hitting top form during this time of the season

Posted by: Tennie Apr 9 2008, 12:44 PM

For what it's worth, here are the probable lineups in today's Gazzetta (they'll probably change in coming days):

ZEBRAS
Buffon 1
Grygera 21
Legrottaglie 33
Chiellini 3
Molinaro 28
Camoranesi 16
Tiago 30
Sissoko 22
Salihamidzic 7
Trezeguet 17
Del Piero 10

MILAN
16 Kalac
2 Cafu
3 Maldini
24 Bonera
27 Serginho
8 Gattuso
21 Pirlo
23 Ambrosini
10 Seedorf
22 Kakà
9 Inzaghi

Posted by: rhy_A4 Apr 9 2008, 04:26 PM

IMO this season has been the lack of a really good Left back to play day in day out like Marek. He was amazing last season , we all know hes had so many long lasting injuries this season. I think this is one of many problems we have had this season, Our fullbacks havent been consistent and somtimes i dont even think i can see them on the pitch, i hope Marek gets well soon! he did get some really good match winners last season and i hope he can do the same in 2008/2009
Forza Marek !

Posted by: han2503 Apr 9 2008, 04:45 PM

Sergio??

Is he really fit to play, he hasn't been called up in months

Posted by: Darunia Apr 9 2008, 05:42 PM

Pato? If it's fit he will probably start.

Posted by: redbabies Apr 10 2008, 10:26 AM

Posted by: kurtsimonw Apr 10 2008, 10:39 AM

That is the worst Milan line-up, besides Coppa games, I have seen in a very, very long time.

Posted by: dst Apr 10 2008, 02:04 PM

Yes, any news on Pato?

Posted by: Besfort Apr 10 2008, 02:41 PM

I'm very optimistic for this match. We really have "unmotivated" champions in our squad, that now or never should prove themselfs in such a crucial match, like this one.

I think Kalac time's over. I want Dida between the sticks. I still trust his abilities to make the goal look like a small box for every striker that comes in front of him.
I hope Pato will be okay, and start/score which will be a great chance for him to prove himself that he's a player also for big matches, and scoring against Buffon, will surely make you a World-Class striker.

Our defense without Oddo, Nesta and Kaladze will push me to suicide every time Juventus will be on the attack.
But anyway, Bonera was really good as a right-back last match, and hopefully will make the same thing on Saturday night.

Let's get a 3 pointer and reach that cursed 4'th place.

Forza Milan !!!

Posted by: kurtsimonw Apr 10 2008, 02:57 PM

Who's at home in the Inter/Fiore game?

Posted by: Tennie Apr 10 2008, 02:58 PM

I'm hopeful for the match. A whole bunch of people trained separately yesterday (including Pato) but I'm not sure there's real cause for worry on that account just yet. Today's training is due to begin any time now.

Camoranesi gave the interview today for the Zebras and - smart boy - he had only nice things to say about Maldini.

The Olimpico (formerly the Communale) in Torino is a really nice stadium. It's a good bit smaller than the San Siro, but the pitch is lovely (or it was 3 weeks ago) and it's a nice atmosphere.

I'd feel an awful lot more comfortable about this match if Nesta were available.

Posted by: Tennie Apr 10 2008, 02:58 PM

The Merda.

Posted by: jefri91 Apr 10 2008, 03:28 PM

“For us it’s going to be an important game, I know Buffon quite well, I scored against him when I was at Inter and I will try and do the same this weekend. I am going to put one in the top corner,”
hahaha i love seedorf

Posted by: Tennie Apr 10 2008, 05:07 PM

Hrm. Mixed news from today's training -- which took place in the rain.

Pirlo and Emerson rejoined the group, but Pato, Janku, and Paloschi trained in the gym.

Posted by: Darunia Apr 10 2008, 05:41 PM

Pippo up on his own is likely

hopefully Pato will be available, even for the bench.

Posted by: whoarethepatriots Apr 10 2008, 06:31 PM

I am not feeling entirely confident about this game

Posted by: MizNelson Apr 10 2008, 08:59 PM

From another lame http://www.goal.com/en-US/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=654580 on Goal.com:

GOAL: Who is your all time number one hate figure, or object of amusement, from their lot?
Dino Distefano (Juventus): I don’t really hate anyone from their team. But Dida has been a joke ever since he joined the club. I can’t believe he is still there. I know he won’t play against Juve but he has been ridiculous this season.

*cough*'03 CL Final*cough*

Sour grapes always make the best whine.

Posted by: Portikins Apr 10 2008, 11:36 PM

We'll need a superb performance by Kaka' to suceed in Turin.
I doubt we'll win with the injuries and suspended players specially against the Gobbi but we'll see.

Forza ragazzi!

I love the picture. "Check out my awesome patch collection!"

Posted by: arivanjj Apr 11 2008, 01:09 AM

cool pic Porty 2 goals are needed from Kaka to win this match, we'll surely concede 1 or 2 goals.



our keeper is on the right side

Posted by: jefri91 Apr 11 2008, 01:30 AM

does anyone really think we can beat juve??? dont be so happy just because we beat a crappy team like cagliari....

Posted by: Darunia Apr 11 2008, 01:43 AM

If Palermo can beat Juve we can beat Juve. Although they needed two great goals from Amauri and a wonder strike by Cassani.. Kaka can do the Amauri but that still might not be enough.

Posted by: Jack Sparrow Apr 11 2008, 05:13 AM

Been too long since the last one... This is pretty good.

Posted by: redbabies Apr 11 2008, 01:20 PM

Just think what our Golden Boy is capable of doing, and you'll really think that we can beat them!

and I'm very confident about that.

Posted by: zdrossoneri Apr 11 2008, 01:22 PM

Milan's appeal for Nesta's suspension rejected...

Posted by: Tennie Apr 11 2008, 01:31 PM

Carletto's given his prematch press conference. (see acmilan.com's italian page)

Highlights include:

* Simic in the centre of defense
* Favster is back
* Pippo in attack

So probably a starting lineup looking something like this:

Kalac
Bonera Simic Maldini Favalli
Gattuso Pirlo Ambrosini Seedorf
Kaka Pippo

I'm hoping it's played like a 4-4-2 as it was v. Cagliari.

Posted by: Tennie Apr 11 2008, 01:45 PM

Zebra call ups for the game:

I convocati di Ranieri: Belardi, Birindelli, Buffon, Camoranesi, Chiellini, Del Piero, Grygera, Iaquinta, Legrottaglie, Marchionni, Molinaro, Nocerino, Palladino, Salihamidzic, Sissoko, Stendardo, Tiago, Trezeguet.


No Nedved.

Posted by: redbabies Apr 11 2008, 01:46 PM

Simic will surprise everyone with his performance. I'm quite confident about him!

Posted by: zdrossoneri Apr 11 2008, 01:51 PM

Good news.

Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2008, 02:38 PM

Hmh...Favalli and Kalac. Does two guys trouble me a lot.

I'm not sure if we can evade this fight even with just a blue eye...What we need is Pato and Kaka, and a very concentrated midfield. Hope we'll see Superambro once more, just like Cagliari,..

Posted by: fresh_prince7 Apr 11 2008, 03:13 PM

So is pato in the squad?

We haven't seen kaka' and pato play together at full capacity..

Well RICKY is BACK! Was looking forward to seeing them tear up the juve defence.

Been looking forward to this game all week, should be a good match with hopefully the right result.

Call-ups

I CONVOCATI DI CARLO ANCELOTTI
11/04/2008
MILANELLO - Questa la lista dei 20 convocati di Carlo Ancelotti per la trasferta di Torino: Dida, Fiori, Kalac, Bonera, Cafu, Digao, Favalli, Maldini, Serginho, Simic, Ambrosini, Brocchi, Gattuso, Gourcuff, Kakà, Pirlo, Seedorf, Gilardino, Inzaghi, Paloschi

They did run Pato through drills today, but he hasn't recovered from the thigh strain.

Posted by: rhy_A4 Apr 11 2008, 04:08 PM

FAK

Posted by: kurtsimonw Apr 11 2008, 04:11 PM

So we have a bad keeper, no defenders, a tired midfield and no Pato for this game? Apologies if I don't sound too optimistic!

Posted by: mishie Apr 11 2008, 04:19 PM

No Pato but super Pippo in goal scoring form ( i know its only 1 game!) we know we need a win and this game is a big game and we have big game players so i reckon a 1-2 win and we will be level with the Viola after this weekend

Forza Milan!!

Posted by: redbabies Apr 11 2008, 05:10 PM

This is the most important match for me, after the one against L'pool last year, and if we win it.... I'll go crazy!

Posted by: Jack Sparrow Apr 11 2008, 05:30 PM

For me the most important match will be against the merda.

This one...I want to see Seedorf turn on the magic. But I doubt it. I think it will be a draw. Or a typical Juve last minute smash and grab.

Posted by: Nova Apr 11 2008, 05:35 PM

I believe we can win this IF Milan shows the right attitude.

Posted by: MizNelson Apr 11 2008, 05:40 PM

any idea how gud juve are one counter this season bcoz they would know we are desperate for a win so juve might try to kill us on counters

Posted by: whoarethepatriots Apr 11 2008, 07:26 PM

Goal.com are predicting a 2-2 draw. That situation helps Juve more than us, but would be disatourous for us if Udine, Doria and Fio win

Posted by: Brian Birkin Apr 11 2008, 08:22 PM

Now is another time to go for a win, I would like 2 players to play up front. I wouldn't be surprised to see a draw in this game but I think and hope we can win.

0-2

Posted by: sansiro1708 Apr 11 2008, 08:32 PM

no way we playing with 2 up front..since pato its not even in the callup list
pippo starting

Posted by: morgoth Apr 11 2008, 08:43 PM

Wow you guys are very optimistic

It's like the Kalac situation, he makes one mistake in a month and everyone want him out, we won one game against a poor Cagliari after 3 losses in the last 5 matchs and everyone is expecting us to beat the zebras

I really hope you guys are right, I'm predicting a defeat with at least 2 goals conceded and without scoring

I think the majority say we'll win to remain optimistic. Go on any teams forum, no matter how bad the team and quite a few will predict wins.

2-0 Juventus. It's a very, very poor Milan line-up that will be played.

Posted by: Habitant Apr 12 2008, 03:09 AM

juve will dominate milan will grind out an undeserved draw 1-1, subsequently destroying our hopes of making the CL. galliani will come out with post-game comments stating that nowadays the uefa cup is more prestigious than the CL and it will be a grand challenge for the red and black.

Posted by: acid911 Apr 12 2008, 03:16 AM

I wouldn't say no to a 1-1 draw, and franly it might not end our road to CL. Any loss apart from Juve and Inter will be the final straw. If we can manage to draw these two games we have a very outside chance of making the fourth place.

Never thought I'd say that.

Posted by: acid911 Apr 12 2008, 03:33 AM

Ha, thanks for the clarification, Miz. And no it's not about being benched, it's whether he'll get a chance to come back that matters. Dida's still better than Kalac (even if by a whisker), and frankly I've become so numb with how our season's progressed, seeing Kalac between the posts until the end of the season doesn't sound as strange as it used to.

Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 12 2008, 12:11 PM

That actually makes sense, does it?

Hmh,..it'll be hard to win, but we can do it, even with this line-up.

Posted by: kurtsimonw Apr 12 2008, 01:00 PM

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but yes, fans are blinded by loyalty and will usually predict their team to win, no matter how badly they're plying or how good they team they're playing is.

Posted by: redbabies Apr 12 2008, 02:15 PM

of course we can do it!

just have trust in Kaka and Pippo!

Posted by: rhy_A4 Apr 12 2008, 03:10 PM

Super Pippo can do it !!!!!!

Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 12 2008, 04:22 PM

Okay,..and this is bad or? What should we do, yell out no, we'll be crushed 3-0.

Allright then, my prediction: Juventus - Milan 1:3


Btw., guys we need someone farmiliar with stats and detailed facts around here. I'm missing does kind of comments in the pre-match time. I wonder...how many goals did Pippo score for Milan against Juventus?? One?

Posted by: Bluesummers Apr 12 2008, 06:32 PM

anyone has acces to MilanChannel can see it!!!

Posted by: Darunia Apr 12 2008, 06:53 PM

MILANO - Juventus-Milan così in campo tra poco all'Olimpico:

JUVENTUS: Buffon; Grygera, Legrottaglie, Chiellini, Molinaro; Camoranesi, Tiago, Sissoko, Salihamidzic; Del Piero, Trezeguet.
MILAN: Kalac; Bonera, Simic, Maldini, Favalli; Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Kakà, Seedorf; Inzaghi.

no surprises.

Posted by: redbabies Apr 12 2008, 06:56 PM

so... Juve better in defense, Milan better in midfield.... both equal in attack!

interesting match...

Posted by: Tennie Apr 12 2008, 06:57 PM

It's Pirlo's 300th game for Milan. Hopefully it'll be a good one for him.

Noe news on lineups yet, but it's been raining all day in northern Italy so the pitch will be wet. The rain seems to have lightened up in the last hour or so and the temperature is about 10 degrees c.

Posted by: kurtsimonw Apr 12 2008, 06:59 PM

No, it's not bad or anything, just quite pointless in my opinion. What's the point of saying we'll win a game just for the sake of saying it, even when you don't think we will? I don't get it.

Congrats to Pirlo!

Posted by: Darunia Apr 12 2008, 07:00 PM

Good luck Milan!!!!!! Let's goooooooo! lol. I'm a little hyper even tho I just woke up.

Posted by: redbabies Apr 12 2008, 07:02 PM

I dont know about the others, but I seriously believe we can win tonight

Posted by: kurtsimonw Apr 12 2008, 07:09 PM

I completely forgot this game was today!

I predict a loss. So any points we get from this match will need to be earned, it will be a tough game so I just hope our players are up for it. This could be a huge weekend in the battle for 3rd/4th/5th.

Posted by: Tennie Apr 12 2008, 07:17 PM

The key to this game is the midfield, I think. Whichever midfield does best will give their team a huge boost. Nedved not playing is good for Milan, but Milan's defense...well, they have Il Capitano. I remain hopeful.

Posted by: KillerMax Apr 12 2008, 07:21 PM

Game is about to start. Forza Milan!

Posted by: whoarethepatriots Apr 12 2008, 07:21 PM

Del Piero was holding a number 6 shirt with an old lady. Anyone have any idea what it meant

Posted by: Tennie Apr 12 2008, 07:22 PM

Probably something to do with him breaking Scirea's record for appearances with Juve.

Posted by: dst Apr 12 2008, 07:24 PM

I hope for the best! Go Milan!!

Posted by: whoarethepatriots Apr 12 2008, 07:27 PM

Thats what i thought, but the 6 seems arbitrary.

lol Tiago is playing, lets expose him and Molinaro

Posted by: misha Apr 12 2008, 07:30 PM

I have a good feeling about this game. Forza Milan!

Yellow for Ambro; he's out the next match.

Posted by: han2503 Apr 12 2008, 07:52 PM

If we keep giving Juve set piece chances then we will conceed another one

btw, Simic is not impressing me...

Posted by: mishie Apr 12 2008, 07:52 PM

Pirlo looking back to some sort of form!!

Posted by: zdrossoneri Apr 12 2008, 07:53 PM

WHY?? he's been decent so far...

Posted by: han2503 Apr 12 2008, 07:54 PM

Look at the goal DP scored, Simic left him with too much space to work with

Posted by: Tennie Apr 12 2008, 07:55 PM

I don't think Simic is doing that badly for someone who's played 3 games all year. He's not match fit really.

Posted by: han2503 Apr 12 2008, 07:56 PM

Good point, but I would have prefered him playing RB and Bonera CB because of the reason you've just mentioned, especially in a game like this one

Posted by: kurtsimonw Apr 12 2008, 08:07 PM

Wow, this is fantastic. Very un-Milan like from this season, usually we seem to just drop our heads and give up after going 1 down. But to stay positive and come back against quality opposition.. very impressive.

Posted by: whoarethepatriots Apr 12 2008, 08:07 PM

Seedorfs crosses have been pretty poor

F@ck. So close

Great strike by Kaka

Uhoh. Legrottaglie runs into Kaka and is stretchered off. Looks like a knee problem.

Posted by: misha Apr 12 2008, 08:16 PM

The third goal before the HT can be crucial. Juve are vulnerable right now

2-2. Thank you Maldini...

This is why he should have retired long ago.

Great save but...

wow

nice save by Gigi

2:2 HT

Posted by: han2503 Apr 12 2008, 08:21 PM

As always, terrible defending, Carlo has got to switch Bonera over to the center for the second half.

We are playing finally good football but are still screwing it up because we can't defend if our lives depended on it

Posted by: redbabies Apr 12 2008, 08:21 PM

We could easily be winning 2-0 if it wasn't to our shaky defense.

Posted by: I_Rossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:21 PM

What a game! If this was a prem game we would continually be told this is why the prem is the best...

Hopefully the second half will be just as good.

Posted by: Portikins Apr 12 2008, 08:22 PM

Maldini proved more than once that he's simply not good enough (NOW) to play vs. top teams. Inter, Roma, Juve, Viola, etc.

Thanks to him, we lost a big chance of getting points today.

Posted by: arivanjj Apr 12 2008, 08:23 PM

video of Juve's second goal? it mighta been offside

Posted by: zdrossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:23 PM

Am I the only one who thinks Juve scored an offside goal?? if it was Salihamidzic who tapped the ball in then it was definitely offside.

Posted by: dst Apr 12 2008, 08:23 PM

This is pathetic... name one defender that's faultless... at this rate Pepe, Ferdinand, Carragher should also retire... you're waiting on the corner for every mistake...

He lost the ball on the side line for fucks sake...

Posted by: Darunia Apr 12 2008, 08:25 PM

- Simic
+ Cafu

or switch Bonera to CB

Juve attack down the right, Del Piero tries to keep it in and Kaladze gives it away to Camaronesi who sends in a first-time cross that catches Milan out AND TREZEGUET WITH THE HEADED GOAL BUT SOMEHOW SAVED BY KALAC and Salihamidzic tucks away the rebound for 2-2! Milan are furious, they're convinced Salihamidzic was offside when Trezeguet made the initial header - and he looked it to me. You have to feel for Kalac as he made a wonderful save.

f'in cheaters

Posted by: TriniKing_CE Apr 12 2008, 08:25 PM

Simic is struggling with Del Piero badly!!
Pippo looks hungry 2nite!

Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 12 2008, 08:25 PM

Y'all blame Maldini but do not mention that Salihamidzic was offside?

Kalac had luck, if it were a decent referee we would have seen a yellow card at least. But honestly...Pippo, Kaka and Ambro are doing great. Bonera too. But Pirlo..he has to wake up!! Loosing balls and playing everything with irritating ease.

Our defense..one of the worst jet. Dida should have started, Simic has one of his worst nights yet, and Maldini to be honest isn't doing well also.

Pippo score us a hattrick and let then Emerson and the boys in..

Posted by: mishie Apr 12 2008, 08:25 PM

err isn't it only half-time?!?!

Posted by: whoarethepatriots Apr 12 2008, 08:25 PM

I can see more goals coming from both sides...

Posted by: redbabies Apr 12 2008, 08:25 PM

Yes, Salihamidzic scored, and he might have been offside but no good replays were shown.

Posted by: Portikins Apr 12 2008, 08:25 PM

Pathetic is comparing a 40 yo "player" that can't even run to world-class defenders nowadays. Maldini was a world-class defender, one of the best ever. But he's over.

The goal was his fault. Just like many this season and in the last 2 years.

Posted by: Tennie Apr 12 2008, 08:25 PM

http://www.d1g.com/video/show/?id=1927414

Salihamidzic goal.

Here's Milan's bench: Dida Cafu Digao Brocchi Gourcuff Gilardino Paloschi.

Would you switch anyone out? If so, who?

Posted by: Darunia Apr 12 2008, 08:26 PM

Refs blows whistle on our corner, and juve players didn't give Pirlo the ball, wtf

Posted by: whoarethepatriots Apr 12 2008, 08:27 PM

Simic should be swapped for Cafu, who moves to the right and Bonera in the middle

The bench dosent fill me with confidence

Posted by: TriniKing_CE Apr 12 2008, 08:27 PM

Maldini wasnt largely at fault for the goal at all... Del Piero may have even gotten a touch on to the ball!

Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 12 2008, 08:27 PM

We lost a big chance today? So the match is over, or? I cannot belive what I'm reading here..this goes very wrong..

Posted by: redbabies Apr 12 2008, 08:27 PM

is this PlayStation or tonights match? Coz only in the first case Kaladze might be playing

Posted by: fresh_prince7 Apr 12 2008, 08:28 PM

Favalli cost us on the first goal.. the lunge to no avail opened play right up. Simic and Kalac didn't help proceedings.

Maldini's lack of awareness started the 2nd goal conceeded, poor marking as well. Pretty sure he wasn't offside at first i thought he was, but when trezeguet headed he was onside. So no problem with the goal. Great tackle by kalac on him though, AFL like.. BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very entertaining game. Be interesting to see how we tire in the 2nd half.

Posted by: han2503 Apr 12 2008, 08:28 PM

Oh come on! it has been the entire defence's fault, Simic is being run down costantly and imo was 50% as fault for the first goal (the other 50 goas to Kalac for that horribly ametuerish split he did when he should have dived) and yes Paolo lost the ball but it was on the wing, someone should have been covering Trez and Salihamidzic and not let them get to the ball that easily

Posted by: Portikins Apr 12 2008, 08:28 PM

Maldini out, Bonera as CB, Cafu/Brocchi in as RB.

Posted by: Tennie Apr 12 2008, 08:28 PM

Yes, Maldini is at fault for the second (offside) goal.

But I do not agree with Porty's assessment of him.

Posted by: arivanjj Apr 12 2008, 08:28 PM

yep that goal was offside

Posted by: zdrossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:28 PM

You think you love Maldini more than I do?... I hate to mention it but he made a very poor mistake...

Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 12 2008, 08:29 PM

..no, not in his world..

Posted by: han2503 Apr 12 2008, 08:29 PM

Maldini out? he made one mistake that 85% of the time doesn't usually end up in a goal

Look at Simic who's being turned inside out by DP, that's our real problem tonight

Posted by: redbabies Apr 12 2008, 08:30 PM

the video shows clearly that it was offside... but it was such close that I can't blame the referee, I even needed 2 times to watch it until I was sure!

Posted by: Darunia Apr 12 2008, 08:30 PM

Maldini's been twice the player Simic has, although that's not hard. That's what we get for starting a player making his 3-4 appearance.. sigh I miss Kaladze/Nesta. If we had Nesta we would win this game

Posted by: TriniKing_CE Apr 12 2008, 08:30 PM

I Second that!
Send Bonera Center and bring on either Cafu or Brocchi!

Posted by: fahad Apr 12 2008, 08:31 PM

or atleast wouldnt cocnede like that

Posted by: fahad Apr 12 2008, 08:32 PM

who is gallaini talking on phone??

Posted by: TriniKing_CE Apr 12 2008, 08:33 PM

Most proberly Berlusconi! - to tell him pippo scored

Posted by: redbabies Apr 12 2008, 08:33 PM

As far as we sign a world-class CB, I don't have any problem if Paolo stays for 1 more year.

Posted by: fresh_prince7 Apr 12 2008, 08:33 PM

U sure that was offside..

When the ball gets played in both are onside.. once trez heads it.. doesnt matter if he runs on right since he was in an onside position?

Im pretty tired.. so i could b wrong..

Posted by: Darunia Apr 12 2008, 08:33 PM

Posted by: Portikins Apr 12 2008, 08:34 PM

Stop cunting about FFS. He just did a Kalade. Maldini cost us a goal. It's a fact.

@mishie: HT or not, I don't think we'll win conceeding goals like that one.

Posted by: zdrossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:34 PM

DEFINITELY OFFSIDE JUVE GOAL. I THINK EVERYONE SAW IT ON TV NOW.

Posted by: han2503 Apr 12 2008, 08:34 PM

These past 2 seasons he's barely played because of injuried, this season he has been forced to play every week becuase our bench is complete cr@p.

Paolo can hardly be held accountable for today if we don't get the 3 points, there are bigger culprits that we should be pointing the finger at.

As for Paolo losing the ball, yes he did that but so did Pirlo and Ambro has done it more then once today, so it's not only the "40 year old's" fault


Cafu - in
Simic - out

Bonera moves to center, Cafu RB

Posted by: redbabies Apr 12 2008, 08:35 PM

the match started.....

The only pathetic thing is to blame Paolo for that offside goal. Unbelivable..

Posted by: morgoth Apr 12 2008, 08:35 PM

Would you guys do us a favour and shut up instead of saying stupid things!!!
Del Piero hit the ball from Paolo's feet, it's not like he gave it to Camoranesi or some thing, even if he did, it's not a reason for you title *$#?!@ to say he must retire or not

Anyway, lets hope the defence improve in the second half and our attack keep scoring.

Forza Milan

What has his age has to do with anything man? I have the seen the players I mentioned make more crucial mistakes in one game than Maldini has made in the past two seasons!

Yes he was caught off-guard, it was his mistake! But why does his age have to be mentioned next to that? If he was 23 and he did that would it be less of a mistake? Del Piero snatching the ball away from him has nothing to do with him being 40 years old... after all out of the 5 players that tried to steal the ball away from Del Piero in that play he was the only one that made it... wasn't he 40 when he did that?

Pilro has made a couple of deadly mistakes... he must be 40 years old, it's the only explanation!


I never said anything like that... I just can't see why his age is mentioned and it's not mentioned when we talk about Pirlo or Gattuso who have many more mistakes tonight...

I think he should retire but not because of today's game.

It's true his knees are holding up season but I don't trust them

Posted by: han2503 Apr 12 2008, 08:37 PM

It's not cvnting about it's fact, Paolo made one mistake whereas some of out younger players have made the same mistake more then once. Want to know who cost us the goals? Kalac and Simic on the first and whoever the hell was supposed to be marking Trez when the cross came in, Those are the people who cost us the goals tonight

I can do it again if you want.

The fish doll kindly asks everyone to take a deep breath, enjoy the drink of their choice, and calm down please.

Or he'll have to start pushing you in the bathtub.

simic= worst player on the pitch. he is plain and simple aweful...it doesnt matter if hes only played 3 games all season, he has no excuses hes not tired, not injured he just stinks...players should be ready to come of the bench and do there job....no one expects too much of him but he is making textbook errors....watchin him defend is like watchin kids play no the playground at school! he is also lucky to not be carded....this is exactly why hes only played 3 games all season. i hope this shuts everyone up when we need to fill a CB role they say "i hope we see simic play" cuz this happens.

Stendardo for Legrotaglie.

Posted by: zdrossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:42 PM

What a save from Kalac

Posted by: zdrossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:42 PM

Posted by: Tennie Apr 12 2008, 08:43 PM

Nice save by Kalac.

Posted by: Portikins Apr 12 2008, 08:45 PM

Very very good one.

Posted by: zdrossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:46 PM

OK. I'm sorry. it was the heat of the moment.


@ morgoth

Only if you talk to me like that once again...

Posted by: Tennie Apr 12 2008, 08:47 PM

Nice sliding challenge there by Maldini. This, AFTER Grygera took him out.

Posted by: I_Rossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:50 PM

I'd be tempted to take Pirlo off and bring Paloschi on, Pirlo's having a 'mare

Posted by: fahad Apr 12 2008, 08:51 PM

ahhhhhh

Posted by: I_Rossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:52 PM

Well done Rino

Posted by: zdrossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:52 PM

Sissoko is really good!

Posted by: fahad Apr 12 2008, 08:52 PM

nesta had to get that red:(

Posted by: I_Rossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:53 PM

How did they miss that????????????

Posted by: han2503 Apr 12 2008, 08:53 PM

Why was Bonera the only one in the middle against THREE Juve players?!!!!

Posted by: Tennie Apr 12 2008, 08:54 PM

The zebras are getting mean, hitting Seedorf and Gattuso in quick succession. Seedorf is still down.

Posted by: han2503 Apr 12 2008, 08:54 PM

That was not the first time Camo has done that to Clarence tonight

Posted by: I_Rossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:55 PM

Seedorf and Rino taken out yet get nothing?!?!?!

Posted by: Tennie Apr 12 2008, 08:55 PM

Ohdear. Digao is warming up. Pleaseno.

Posted by: han2503 Apr 12 2008, 08:55 PM

Yeah I saw that I'm scared now

Posted by: dst Apr 12 2008, 08:55 PM

Cause Favalli is only good against mid-table teams...


And no foul!

Posted by: zdrossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:56 PM

Bonera almost broke Sissoko's leg


RED!

Posted by: fahad Apr 12 2008, 08:56 PM

red card bonera

Posted by: misha Apr 12 2008, 08:57 PM

Bonera is such a moron

Posted by: han2503 Apr 12 2008, 08:57 PM

Now we're going to get our @sses handed to us

Posted by: I_Rossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:57 PM

Bonera red carded

Posted by: Tennie Apr 12 2008, 08:58 PM

Oh dear. Studs up challenge to Sissoko's ankle. It's a good call.

Yikes for Milan. 20 minutes to hold on one man down.

Posted by: dst Apr 12 2008, 08:58 PM

It was a correct decision! Really really reckless tackle!

Posted by: whoarethepatriots Apr 12 2008, 08:58 PM

Uh oh!

Posted by: Tennie Apr 12 2008, 08:58 PM

Cafu on for Pippo.

Posted by: arivanjj Apr 12 2008, 08:59 PM

after such a good game he had...

Posted by: zdrossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:59 PM

Dida...

I miss him!

Posted by: han2503 Apr 12 2008, 08:59 PM

I think that was him trying to get some sort of retribution for the wrong calls we've been getting. Not such a good idea since it has cost us more

Posted by: I_Rossoneri Apr 12 2008, 08:59 PM

Cafu for Pippo

Oh dear...

Posted by: whoarethepatriots Apr 12 2008, 09:01 PM

Gattuso playing as a CF when we have the ball

Posted by: zdrossoneri Apr 12 2008, 09:01 PM

A little pressure and Juve will get their third goal. we're doomed.
