Here are my ratings:
Dida(5.5): Looked shaky, nervous and had another one of those Dida moments which very closely cost us a goal.
Antonini(6): He had good movement and ran up and down the pitch with good continuity, considering he hasn't played much at all. BUT, his right foot is as effective as Rivaldo's. Should only be used as a RB in emergencies.
Bonera(5.5): He was decent, but had too many lapses. He need to work on his concentration and also positioning. Sometimes he is no where to be found.
Kaladze(6.5): Had a good game and did good leading the defense. No big mistakes in this game.
Jankulovski(7.5): What an awesome player Janku is. Just awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.
Flamini(8): Always full of running. Always fighting till either him or the opposing player goes down. Keeps on winning the ball. He is like the Energizer commercial. Keeps going and going and going...
Ambrosini(7): He had a good game. Ambrosini is a great DEFENSIVE midfielder and the moment Ancelotti realizes that and stops playing him as a left midfielder, Milan will be more effective as evidenced today.
Seedorf(7.5): He had a great game today. Controlled the ball well and had a couple of excellent moments. Should try shooting more often as acid mentioned.
Kaka(5.5): He didn't have a good game by any means except for that spectacular through pass to Shevchenko. He is gaining form though. Match by match he will get better.
Shevchenko(7.5): In the first half, it looked like the old Sheva was back. His movements, his turn and shot coming off the woodwork. Looked lively and dangerous. His finishing leaves something to be desired though and he started fading in the second half. Overall, some encouraging signs from him.
Pato(8): I was shouting cuss words at Ancelotti when he scored that goal. FOR EVER DOUBTING him. You NEVER doubt Pato. NEVER.
Boriello: He is fast becoming one of my favorite players because, 1) he is a left footed CF and 2) He can hold the ball and 3) He has amazing control. What a FANTASTIC goal he scored today. World class.
Emerson(5): No running, lazy movement. Slow, out of sorts and full of fouling. This man is not even a shadow of his former self.
Ronaldinho(6): Some flashes here and there, but he moves like he weighs 500 pounds. He lacks speed and stamina. Runs out of breath too quickly. Has A LOT to prove.
Ancelotti(6.5): He finally played with 2 forwards, but his defense is a joke. He admitted to this 2 years ago and he still hasn't done anything about it. You either demand a new player or make a solid unit out of what you already have. This just can't go on. Congrats to him winning against Zurich in Uefa Cup.
Interesting ratings Max. (you forgot to rate Marco). for the first time since his return, I really pitied Sheva. he deserved a goal tonight. perhaps he's saving it for Lazio...
I think Pato looked nervous at some moments. that goal was much needed...
I would give Kaka a 6.
MotM... Flamini for me. I still can't believe Arsenal lost him so easily.
