Since no one has opened it yet I tried to take a shot at opening a match thread.

Sheva to start this one 
... 
Posted by: han2503 Nov 24 2008, 05:13 PM
...
Hopefully
btw, Pirlo needs to start this one and atleast play a half, he needs to get match fit pronto
Posted by: vahid Nov 24 2008, 05:23 PM
I know we can't make another 1-0 win,they have Crouch & Defoe as strikers 
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 24 2008, 06:38 PM
They're an English team after all. we might find it easier to score goals [I'm not underestimating them by any means - I just think their style which is a lot different to Italian teams' will allow us to play better in attack].
Posted by: han2503 Nov 24 2008, 07:08 PM
Defoe is injured, I think...
As for Crouch, I think he would give us serious problems because of his height, we tend to make the most mistakes when high balls come into our area
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 24 2008, 07:25 PM
Defoe was injured for the weekends game, not sure about his fitness for this one.
Anyways, I'm hoping for a destruction, Redknapp didn't leave there long ago so they still have Dirty Harrys germs, kill them I say!
Posted by: acid911 Nov 24 2008, 07:30 PM
Judging our current plight, I'd find it hard to underestimate anything.
Least of all opponent teams, and that too from England that we know nothing of. It's not like they're someone from the league, where players are aware of the opponents skills and faults. It'll be a tough match. Period.You'd find it's better for your health, zd, when you take each match as a tough mountain to climb.
I do, and it works wonders, really. I go in thinking it'll be the toughest match of our lives, and guess what, it usually is. Been the story of the season so far. And could continue unless we see drastic improvements. Or unlimited supply of luck. Or both.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Nov 24 2008, 07:41 PM
Porthsmouth hasn't been the same ever since Harry Redknapp left, but we should be aware of them. Hardest UEFA Cup match so far for sure. I'd say we'll play a goalless draw.
Posted by: han2503 Nov 24 2008, 08:05 PM
I think Wolfsburg will be our toughest match.
AS for Portsmouth, apperantly there have already been some complaints from our officials about the changing rooms at Fratton Park. Apparently they're a disaster, with mildew running along the seiling because of a leak they had when it rained
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 24 2008, 08:40 PM
Portmouth rose up a few divisions fairly quickly. So they're basically an EPL team with League 1 grade facilities, not nice.
Posted by: Il Diavolo Nov 24 2008, 08:49 PM
Crouch will seek revenge for Athens. 
Senderos should keep him away from Dida.
Difficult match. A draw makes sense. 1:1 with Sheva scoring of course.
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Nov 24 2008, 10:17 PM
I think a Shevchenko - Inzaghi partnership is the right combo upfront. Ronaldinho in support and Pirlo along with Ringo and Flamini
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2008, 07:13 AM
I think Kaka should play this one since he's suspended on the weekend and let Dinho get some rest, at least he should start on the bench imo.
Pirlo and Seedorf should trade a half each, so Pirlo get's match time but doesn't over do it. Maybe start Emerson instead of Gattuso, he's earned some rest.
Senderos and Bonera should start in the middle, no more Kaladze pls
Posted by: Habitant Nov 25 2008, 07:25 AM
i'd rather we play well and win on the weekend, a draw will suffice.
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Nov 25 2008, 09:38 AM
Pirlo and Seedorf should trade a half each, so Pirlo get's match time but doesn't over do it. Maybe start Emerson instead of Gattuso, he's earned some rest.

didn't know Kaka' was suspended for the next league game .. Well, in that case then yeah Ronnie needs a rest. and about the Swiss, I hope he shows as solid a performance as he did in the last UEFA match.
Posted by: rhy_A4 Nov 25 2008, 02:15 PM
as always i hope we win ofc but i would like us to come out of this match with no injurys so we can be fresh for Palermo and so on in !!
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 25 2008, 03:19 PM
I wonder whether Kaka's absence from the Palermo game will be a blow for us [not having such a quality player who, even when not in his best day, can decide a game] or a blessing in disguise [we could play with two strikers].
Hope to see Pato in that game at least, preferably alongside Borriello.
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Nov 25 2008, 04:08 PM
Hope to see Pato in that game at least, preferably alongside Borriello.
the worst scernio though could be that seedorf and r80 behind one stiker
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Nov 25 2008, 05:15 PM
And most probable..
btw. this us the UEFA cup thread,..
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 25 2008, 05:19 PM
Yeah, we can be sure about unlocking Palermo's defense with such attack
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Nov 25 2008, 06:16 PM
Palermo conceeded 18 goals so far, which is more then every other team above them at moment. That enough means we'll score most likely. Only question is if we'll struggle back in the defense once again. Is Kaladze suspended now?
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Nov 25 2008, 06:30 PM
Uefa thread
just kidding i dont think kaladze will be suspended i hope he plays this game and break a bone or 2
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2008, 06:33 PM
We've played teams who have been conceeding bucket loads of goals and we strill struggle to score a single goal against them.
As for Kaladze, sadly I don't think he's suspended, so expect to see him on the pitch against Palermo
Posted by: acid911 Nov 25 2008, 06:43 PM
Or 2 dozen.
Posted by: whoarethepatriots Nov 25 2008, 06:44 PM
If Emo plays on thursday (or sunday) then i refuse to watch any more games till january
Posted by: acid911 Nov 25 2008, 06:54 PM
We'll miss you then, buddy. There is more chance of Milan going to Serie D3 than Emerson not playing in any of these matches. I'd prepare for the worse, if I were you.
He will play. FACT.
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2008, 06:59 PM
I personally have no problems with him playing UEFA Cup games along side Pirlo/Seedorf and another DM (give Rino some time to rest)
But as far as Serie A goes, he shouldn't even be called up for the matches
Posted by: I_Rossoneri Nov 25 2008, 07:53 PM
Anyone else going to this match? My ticket come through today 
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Nov 25 2008, 07:58 PM
to far from nottingham specially when UNI si at peak time i am afraid
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Nov 25 2008, 08:07 PM
Milan squad: Abbiati, Dida, Kalac, Antonini, Bonera, Darmian, Favalli, Kaladze, Senderos, Zambrotta, Ambrosini, Emerson, Flamini, Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, Inzaghi, Kaka, Pato, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 25 2008, 11:25 PM
We'll miss you then, buddy. There is more chance of Milan going to Serie D3 than Emerson not playing in any of these matches.
great!As for Kaladze I have to make a BIG confession. I like the guy. I think he's solid in big games
Posted by: acid911 Nov 25 2008, 11:38 PM
You're not alone.
I don't like the guy one bit, but even I have to admit he has a quality-to-craptality ratio of 51:49. Meaning out of hundred, Kaladze will be good in two more matches than he'll be crap. So yeah, he can stay in the club, unless we find someone really good, then we should dump him. Without thinking, twice.
Posted by: rhy_A4 Nov 26 2008, 12:30 AM
Have a great time buddy and make as much noise as u can
!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: agronos Nov 26 2008, 10:16 AM
I would like to see Pippo and Sheva from the very first minute, if they score they go up in UEFA goals competition, the rest is not so interesting, AC Milan will pass the group leg.
Posted by: agronos Nov 26 2008, 10:19 AM
ouuuuuuuuuu
how would I like to be there, to far and so expensive from my country,

Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 26 2008, 12:21 PM
Galliani's latest bullsh1t:
... 4-2-4 o un 4-1-5..."
(for those who are wondering what that is, Baldy's talking about our formation! he sees 4-3-2-1 as a 4-2-4 or a 4-1-5 dig? we can't even score goals with 5 strikers on the pitch 
)

(for those who are wondering what that is, Baldy's talking about our formation! he sees 4-3-2-1 as a 4-2-4 or a 4-1-5
dig? we can't even score goals with 5 strikers on the pitch )Oh so Pirlo has now turned into a striker also along with Seedorf, Kaka and Dinho? Galliani is pushing the term 'old and senail' to it's limits I'm afraid.
As for tomorrows match, apperantly Gazzetta was predicting this formation a couple of days ago
Dida
Zambrotta-Bonera-Favalli-Antonini
Flamini-Emerson-Ambrosini
Kaka
Shevchenko-Inzaghi
That midfield makes me want to
Pirlo needs to play at least a half, we need him to be sharp for the game against Palermo, at least give him a half and switch him with Seedorf.
And Senderos should start this one imo, give him some games Carlo!!
Posted by: acid911 Nov 26 2008, 01:49 PM
Uh-oh, the old stupid version of Galliani is back. Too bad the good one didn't last through the year.
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 26 2008, 03:04 PM
I couldn't resist putting such hilarious quote in my sig Galliani is nearly a laugh.
I don't think it's gonna be that. at least I hope not... 3 DMs?
Posted by: Habitant Nov 26 2008, 04:41 PM
unless you can pay for my flight, i'll play for the match tickets
enjoy the game!
Posted by: whoarethepatriots Nov 26 2008, 05:04 PM
I was thinking about heading down south, but my day is too full on Thursday, there is no way i would have been able to make it

It cost £87.50 but face value is £20
along with p&p it totaled £100 but was the cheapest I could find.Posted by: mishie Nov 26 2008, 10:00 PM
Training took place at Fratton park and finished just under a hour ago...it consisted of warm up then short sprints and then abdominal work.
A team meeting took place with Mr.Ancelotti follwed by offensive moves and various shapes (formations)
Senderos took part in all training
Tomorrow short work out and strecthing at mid-day in preperation for tomorrows game followed by light lunch...the team will arrive at the ground at around 19.00hours
hope thats ok 
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Nov 26 2008, 10:01 PM
Cool enjoy the match
Don't forget you souvenirs

Well we've gone out with 4 DMs before so I wouldn't put it past Carlo
That was the team Carlo played with in training btw, so it's not just Gazzetta taking a shot in the dark and guessing a starting 11.
Hopefully one of Seedorf/Pirlo will play instead of Puma since Ambro is back

Where have you been mate?Wednesday 26 November, 2008
Portsmouth goalkeeper David James believes tomorrow's game against Milan is the biggest in the club's history.
While the Rossoneri have picked up six points from six in UEFA Cup Group E so far, Portsmouth are looking to bounce back from last month's 3-0 defeat against Braga.
“I'm on the eve of one of Portsmouth's biggest days,” England 'keeper James told Sky Sports News.
“When I joined the club this is what I wanted to do - make history. This is possibly the biggest fixture ever at Fratton Park.
“Tomorrow will be something to remember for Portsmouth players and supporters.
“We won't be overawed because this is the sort of challenge we look forward to.”
Carlo Ancelotti is expected to make significant changes to his side for the testing away day.

Thank you, David James!

Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 27 2008, 10:13 AM
I can't imagine the English media's stories about how bad Serie A sucks if we lose this game.
Posted by: MizNelson Nov 27 2008, 11:21 AM
You guys know not to take my inner Dida fangirl seriously about 99% of the time, but I've been anticipating this match since it was announced because this may be his last chance to stick it to an English team and shut the press up, especially in the aftermath of the Celtic incident.
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 27 2008, 12:47 PM
Unfortunately it's a no win situation for Italian football. Unless Milan win comfortabley and really do play them off the park, otherwise people will just be saying Pompey are nearly as good as Milan, or better, if they beat them.
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 27 2008, 02:30 PM
I hope we don't go there to defend! if we attack [like we have not all season so far!] we can win, I'm certain of it!
Posted by: I_Rossoneri Nov 27 2008, 02:34 PM

Good read from The Gaurdian
Fashionable Milan visit down-at-heel Portsmouth, and the contrast between the two could hardly be greater
The face of Carlo Ancelotti, the Milan coach, wore the uncertain half-smile of the embarrassed. It was as if he suspected that an awful practical joke was being played upon him. Ancelotti, visiting Fratton Park yesterday to prepare for this evening's Uefa Cup tie against Portsmouth, might have wondered why he had been brought to an ugly piece of architectural memorabilia when he had told the driver he wanted to be taken to Portsmouth Football Club.
He was diplomacy itself, choosing his words carefully, like someone eating mackerel and feeling for the bones. "It's a good club," he said defiantly. "It's an old school English ground. The pitch looks good. We are used to travelling and getting on with things."
Fratton Park, which every Southampton supporter will tell you is, spelt backwards, "nottarf krap," is the sort of stadium that encourages visitors to wipe their feet on departure. Ancelotti's shoes twitched, as if in a hurry to transport their owner from the premises as quickly as possible. Milan, after all, is the fashion capital of an almost neurotically fashion-conscious country.
Fratton Park, the Gulag Archipelago of the Premier League, is situated close to the Portsmouth mudflats, in the middle of the hunched houses and tight streets of a busy community and its distance from Milan's San Siro is best measured in light years. The Italian club has lifted the European Cup on seven occasions. The San Siro can hold 80,000; the official capacity here is 20,000.
This is the smallest stadium in the Premier League and was built in 1898, the year singer Gracie ("Sally") Fields and western film star Randolph Scott were also born. WG Grace was still batting, Queen Victoria was on the throne.
They played an Olympic Games football match here in 1948 - they did the same thing at Brighton's Goldstone Ground, which has since been knocked down.
Fratton Park now has the look of a cowshed on life support, though many of the club's supporters remain fiercely loyal to the place and a terrific atmosphere can be generated when the Pompey Chimes are in the evening air.
"They have a good record at home - they play better at home," added Ancelotti, before revealing that Kaka would start tonight and Ronaldinho would be on the bench against a Portsmouth without Jermain Defoe, Sol Campbell, John Utaka and Lassana Diarra.
Then there was the Chelsea misfit Andriy Shevchenko, who Ancelotti also plans to play. Shevchenko scored just nine Premier League goals in his two years at Stamford Bridge but the coach said: "He is one of the best strikers in the world. Chelsea paid for a quality striker but it didn't work out. He wasn't able to express himself to his full extent as a striker at Chelsea." Chelsea, he said, played with only three forwards and Shevchenko wasn't a winger and was never going to replace Didier Drogba.
Tonight, the Milan players might be more worried about expressing themselves in the notoriously small changing rooms. "They will be in for a bit of a shock," said the Pompey goalkeeper David James before they arrived. "It is a proper, and I mean proper, throwback."
There have been many brave new dusks for Portsmouth supporters. In the 1970s the then chairman John Deacon planned to build a new ground on the old city airfield and a couple of decades later Jim Gregory got planning permission to erect a stadium on the St Johns Playing Fields in Farlington, though this was thrown out because the area was a grazing ground for Brent geese.
When Milan Mandaric rescued the club from bankruptcy in 1999 he too promised a new ground. But Pompey supporters were still grazing at Fratton Park when he left the club in 2006. Then, last year, there was talk of a sensational £600m new stadium on Portsmouth's waterfront, a bowl-shaped ground surrounded by 1,500 luxury flats and an "urban beach". AC Milan, who have only beaten one English club on English soil in 12 attempts - Manchester United in 2005 - might have felt comfortable in such surroundings. Having won their first two matches in this competition, though, they are virtually through to the last 32.
This week Portsmouth manager Tony Adams described the fixture as "Portsmouth's biggest game of all time", and "the most prestigious game this club will ever play". Yesterday he sounded a little more downbeat. "Don't 'big it' too much," he implored. "It's about three points. It's feet-on-the-floor time. I don't care what Milan think about Fratton Park."
James, who seemed to have read Adams' earlier script, said yesterday: "We've got to play up the occasion. That is what football people want. They will be talking about this match for years to come, whatever the result."
Another James, Henry James, said rather harshly: "Portsmouth is dirty but it is also dull," when he visited the place in 1879 - and that was 19 years before Fratton Park was built.
Worlds apart - how they compare
Stadium
Milan They call the 85,700-seat San Siro home. They share it with Internazionale and Jose Mourinho
Pompey Planning to leave Fratton Park and its mock tudor facade despite not having to share it with a rival team and a moody Portuguese
Board
Milan Owner Silvio Berlusconi was elected prime minister, so Adriano Galliani is assisted by Berlusconi's younger brother, Paolo
Pompey At the time Alexandre Gaydamak bought the club there was an international arrest warrant issued for his father, Arcadi for alleged arms smuggling that he denies
Managers
Milan Two European Cups, a league title and an Italian Cup under Carlo Ancelotti, the fifth man to win the European Cup as a player and a coach
Pompey Wycombe Wanderers were relegated from League One in 2004 after Tony Adams took over
Most capped
Paolo Maldini
The five-time European Cup winner made 126 appearances for Italy between 1988 and 2002
Sol Campbell
Six consecutive tournaments for England. The last of his 73 caps came under Steve McClaren
Talisman
Milan Kaka is a World Cup and Champions League winner and the current European player of the year
Pompey Veteran goalkeeper David James has been the club's player of the season for the past two years. No longer referred to as 'Calamity'
Honours
Pompey
Two Football League Championship titles, two FA cups, one Charity Shield and two Hampshire charity cups
Milan
Seventeen Serie A championships (Scudetta), five Italian cups, five Italian Super Cups, seven European Cups, five Uefa Super Cups, two European Cup Winners cups, three Intercontinental Cups and one Club World Cup

Guardian articles are always top notch!
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 27 2008, 04:20 PM
"Andriy has paid for the two years in which he played little. When he came to us he worked a lot and now he has found a good condition. Tomorrow I think we can play well. At Chelsea he suffered from the fact that they play with just one striker, Drogba, and two wingers. And he certainly isn't a winger. He was paid for what he was worth at the time, he was one of the strongest strikers in the world, then it's true, his performances did not live up to expectations."
Carlo played Sheva as a winger against Braga at San Siro... what is he talking about?!
Posted by: amancik Nov 27 2008, 07:19 PM
My prediction is 3-0 to AC Milan!
Posted by: rhy_A4 Nov 27 2008, 08:13 PM
1-0 is my prediction Sheva goal
Posted by: TriniKing_CE Nov 27 2008, 08:15 PM
I believe there was a serie a game this season as well...anyway - who cares?!
Posted by: TriniKing_CE Nov 27 2008, 08:18 PM
I wish Sheva can finally score again too.
I really hope he plays well, I still believe he has it in him!
Whether or not - FORZA Sheva 4Eva!

Posted by: vahid Nov 27 2008, 08:47 PM
I like this defensive line.
Maybe Senderos shows something special!

Pippo 1-on-1, all he has to do is lift it for an easy goal, and he hits it over the bar.

Lovely Lob Attempt!!

Oh!!
Kaka just off balance while taking that on
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 27 2008, 09:36 PM
Awful shot Kaka
bring on PATO!
Posted by: TriniKing_CE Nov 27 2008, 09:36 PM
Looks like the DMs aren't as water tight as you think they are, are they Carlo?
I'll have to disagree, I think we are playing slightly better, just we need to take our chances!
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Nov 27 2008, 09:36 PM
proper nouns have no spellign mistakes
Posted by: MizNelson Nov 27 2008, 09:36 PM

bring on PATO!
:lol:LOL
in due time!

Please don't start the "bring on Pato" hue and cry already. It's frickin' early in the game.

Any good streams guys? The ones working for you?

Not Flamini's day...
Posted by: han2503 Nov 27 2008, 09:39 PM
bring on PATO!
Pato for Pippo, Pirlo for Puma imo
We're certainly not better atm, they've created just as much dangerous chances as we have

They're acting like Trinis - someone should tell them there not yet winning

wow pippo did some skills but was tackled later
Posted by: han2503 Nov 27 2008, 09:44 PM
but maybe Pato is being rested for Palermo?He can take another 45 minutes today, it's not like he's been playing every weekend
Posted by: acid911 Nov 27 2008, 09:45 PM
Jeez. These Portsmouth fans are behaving like they're winning the CL final. That too with a 3-0 score and the final one minute remaining.
Posted by: han2503 Nov 27 2008, 09:45 PM
Great cross from Sheva, almost right on Pippo's feet, James just got to it
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Nov 27 2008, 09:46 PM
sendersos got no man marking we had to replace maldini and nesta but we seem to going for replacing kaladze a perfect replacement
Posted by: han2503 Nov 27 2008, 09:46 PM
That too with a 3-0 score and the final one minute remaining.Well they were in the second division a couple of years ago, so you can't really blame them.
Posted by: acid911 Nov 27 2008, 09:49 PM
Appreciated, Trini.

Crouch
Posted by: han2503 Nov 27 2008, 09:50 PM
They're killing us on the flanks. We're lucky that their crossing has been off with Crouch waiting in the middle

Posted by: acid911 Nov 27 2008, 10:00 PM
Thanks for the stream links guys. I don't know where the problem is but everything I've tried to watch has lagged. As for the match, some things never change. One of them is Carlo and his affair with DMs, Emerson in particular.
Anyone up for an honorable draw? Because I don't have high hope for us scoring. Not like this.
Posted by: acid911 Nov 27 2008, 10:01 PM
That Pippo has come and gone.
Inzaghi of today is no where near that mark. First he got sorted out by the Serie A teams, and now Europe too has found ways to stop him.
Posted by: MizNelson Nov 27 2008, 10:03 PM
I really thought we'd play better than this; I'm disgusted. Carlo and his goddamned three DMs, and offensive players who forgot how to aim.

I can understand.
But still:
Posted by: MizNelson Nov 27 2008, 10:10 PM
I so badly want Dida to rock the house today, but we're all so out of sync that it's carrying over into every position. I think his confidence has rested on the team firing on all cylinders, as has mostly been the case in our Cup campaign so far (even Braga).
Posted by: Habitant Nov 27 2008, 10:10 PM
pippo is finished and washed out. even if he goes out there and score he needs about 2 or 4 sitters to get one goal nowadayss, it's just not acceptable.

we look like a useless team. i can't believe it!

Pardon the cliche, but we're playing as a group of individuals. My faith in us progressing far in the Cup is slowly wilting away.

bring pato for pippo, pirlo for emerson

what are we playing attacking wise doing nthing definsivly we are struggling on counter ( whihc means we must be attacking)
Posted by: acid911 Nov 27 2008, 10:23 PM
Is it too much to ask for a substitution at half time? 
Carlo wants the crap to carry on for the full 60, 70, 80 minutes and then bring in the changes. What kind of a joke is this?
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Nov 27 2008, 10:24 PM
i think carlo will bring r80

ohh out of all people seedorf comes on
Posted by: Habitant Nov 27 2008, 10:31 PM
so lemme get this straight, this team is supposed to win the scudetto? i think not.
Posted by: MizNelson Nov 27 2008, 10:32 PM
According to R&B Senderos f***ed up on a header allowing Kaboul (sp?) to score.
Posted by: Habitant Nov 27 2008, 10:33 PM
yep
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 27 2008, 10:34 PM
This really is bad. Maybe if we pray hard enough, Harry Redknapp will become their manager against for the last half hour and we can beat them.
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Nov 27 2008, 10:34 PM
r80 warming up pirlo warming up
Posted by: acid911 Nov 27 2008, 10:34 PM
Our defense is no where, cross comes in, and look who's covering.
Sanderos. A regulation goal, that probably no keeper would have saved. And guess what we have Seedorf on for Gattuso. Emerson is one lucky guy. I wish I was Emerson.
No really. I wish that.
Posted by: MizNelson Nov 27 2008, 10:34 PM
Seedorf is in now for Gattuso. I feel so much better.
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Nov 27 2008, 10:35 PM
has kaka been the captain b4 ?
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 27 2008, 10:35 PM
EVERY game we're confirming that we have serious problems going forward/scoring goals. whether we're using our best players or we're fielding a mixed lineup.
CARLO HAS NO CLUE ANYMORE. SOONER OR LATER YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT.
Posted by: acid911 Nov 27 2008, 10:35 PM
Sanderos has a really good head. Too bad he doesn't know how to use it.
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 27 2008, 10:36 PM
No. never.
Posted by: MizNelson Nov 27 2008, 10:37 PM
The English press are creaming in their BVDs as we speak.
Carlo, just go...away, please. Your predictability is killing this team. Three DMs, and starting a still-not-match-fit Senderos.
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Nov 27 2008, 10:37 PM

DINHO is GREAT
Posted by: MizNelson Nov 27 2008, 10:50 PM
Congratulations, Carlo. After starting Favalli, Emerson, Senderos, and Pippo, Milan have gone from certain qualification to being eliminated if we lose to Lazio. You didn't take today's match seriously and you get the booby prize today, hands down.
All I can say about Dinho's goal at this point...big wow.
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 27 2008, 10:50 PM
Carlo clearly made the right choice going with the 3 DMs, we started off so well and just collapsed when we changed it round.
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Nov 27 2008, 10:50 PM
but again we are slow not going for ball
Posted by: MizNelson Nov 27 2008, 10:51 PM
Can it. That doesn't mask our dreadful performance today.

If we had 5 more minutes, we'd have made it 3-2 Milan.
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 27 2008, 11:00 PM
Late goals are saving Carlo's ***, but the problem is that it's not going to last all season long, which ultimately means Milan will win nothing. A draw at Portsmouth is a terrible result for a team like Milan in itself, but then add the performance to that.
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Nov 27 2008, 11:00 PM
ANOTHER WAKUP CALL MILAN THESE ARE NOT SERIE A WINNING PERFORMANCES WAKUP EVERYONE MANAGEMENT SHOULD TAKE LOOK AT DEFENDER WHILE CARLO NEED BE MORE MOTIVATIVE AND USE VARIETY OF TACTICS

Posted by: MizNelson Nov 27 2008, 11:01 PM
That's it, it's over.
Last one, I swear, but GCarlo is expressing his gratitude over the win, calling Pippo "my hero." and saying he loves him. I thought he didn't care about the result?
Posted by: acid911 Nov 27 2008, 11:02 PM
Inzaghi the future captain of Milan, anyone?
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Nov 27 2008, 11:02 PM
Pippo at the dying minutes ... Just like old times
So Milan are qualified ? Good
Posted by: gal_kenny Nov 27 2008, 11:02 PM
We really didn't deserve to win or even draw...Carlo needs to motivate these players..They lose the ball easily and let the opponents just run past them...I really don't know what to say!!! I'm tired of milan playing like this..Really Carlo brought in all our forwards...

We didn't deserve to win with this performance. But to rally from 2-0 in eight minutes is no small potatoes.
Posted by: dst Nov 27 2008, 11:03 PM
Carletto is only necessary for the big games... we need to sign another coach for the other 95% of the season.
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 27 2008, 11:04 PM
This is the problem. Why not start the game with a sensible lineup and then change it depending on the result? Instead, Carlo opts for playing with a joke team, getting battered, then brings players on to try and save it. I don't see his logic.
Posted by: gal_kenny Nov 27 2008, 11:04 PM
I bet u next time, we won't be very lucky...

+100.
Sadly, this draw will guarantee that our stupidity and shortcomings in the rest of the game will go ignored.

caps lock was on i am sorry
Posted by: gal_kenny Nov 27 2008, 11:07 PM
But the thing is that Pippo can't run anymore and his lack of pace is a very HUGE disadvantage in football today...Good goal though from Ronnie and Pippo but if we keep doing this, when we play against tougher teams, we'll lose..And Milan is a team that's very good at getting humiliated...

senderos is a perfect replacment for kaladze no marking commits mini kaladziites ( will improve this skill as he grows)

Damn Straight!!
And I am not justifing that we shouldn't have played better but if the ref didn't make STUPID decisions and gave us some of the calls that we deserved, we would have one!
Just my opinion!

Ya,ya,...can't you guys be positive for a moment? Why do we need that bloody realism so much? Can't I leave this forum for once in a happy mood. I know, coach sucks, clueless but not the look of Alicia Silverstone, Pippo sucks and had to score 4 more, etc. etc. Oh, yea, Emerson sucks the double dosis... But can't we stop for a moment and at least say, wow we saved our but's with a unexpected comeback, and yes, whole Europe won't be laughing at us right now? I can't understand that realism-logic. Do you guys all feel better when you put the words on here? Isn't it better to be a bit optimistic and then if neccesary face the disappiontment?
Damn this matches thread. Milan win - Milan tie - Milan loose -- allways the same - we suck. Okay, we do. Okay, Carlo isn't the brightest and the most thrilling or surprising coach. But have some respect at least! In my eyes, even Fatih Terim and Tabarez deserved it, why not then those players/coaches here?

Also Senderros and Favalli are really bad defenders..I really can't wait till the end of the season to see 2-3 decent defenders come in..Really all i'm doing is jus waiting cuz our defense is a joke...Antonini didn't perform well today..was kinda surprised bout that cuz he usually does well in defense
Posted by: whoarethepatriots Nov 27 2008, 11:09 PM
Senderos
Favalli
Emerson
Dida (to a certain degree)
Zambrotta (Although slightly redeemed by his assist for Pippo's goal)
Why was Bonera not playing? How did Emerson manage so stay on the pitch for 90 minutes and Kaka withdrawn by 60-70? How did Senderos manage to end up at Milan? Why is Ancelotti such a dumb@ss, with no real tactical sense or man management skills?

Well, I was dreaming for us to win convincingly today, with a rock in goal. Neither happened.
I'm glad we qualified, but we're going to be coming up against teams dumped out of the CL, who are going to be more dangerous than drawn Cup teams.

Am I mistaken or wasn't it him that was unable to defend the first goal?
I'm pretty sure it was him! Not bashing him - Just bringing it up!

You've answered it there yourself really. If we play terrible football, what do you expect the fans to say? With a win they'll be happy with the points, but it doesn't give them confidence in the team. Carlo isn't thrilling or surprising.. or talented. He's a bad coach. It's been about 30 months since we actually played some good football!

I see where u coming from but this has been the performance week in week out..I won't be surprised if we lose or draw against Sampdoria....We aren't motivated..This wasn't the type of milan that played against Lazio..Everyone hustled for the ball..I mean everyone...But now we're wish wash...I'm unhappy...If we keep playing like this i think we deserve to bash the coaches and players for playing bad...

You know, there are 2 kinds of people on this forum my friend. those who are creaming their pants after a late Pippo goal and qualification to the next round, despite a terrible performance and an embarrassing result [it was Portsmouth for ****'s sake], and those who see no bright future for this team.

zambrotta was behing the player senderos was standing freely thinking that zambrotta will do it but b4 that sender made a poor clearne i think if a decent defender would have been there he would have not let the ball get to kabould

The day Emerson, Favalli and Senderos leave, the happier Milano and i will be.
Emerson is so f#cking lazy its unbelievable! he makes half arsed attempts to track back and never goes quicker than at jogging speed
Senderos... Arsenal must be ecstatic that they got rid of Senderos (albeit temporarily)

I catch what you're saying, but we all have to understand people react differently to things.
Anyway, I like that there are still some positive people on the forum.
I describe myself as a neutral though - sometimes I am rather upset and feel like bashing. Other times I am a bit more understanding and hopefull!

there are some pessimestic some optamestic there should be neither we all should try to be relistic but off course it is not that easy to get
Posted by: TriniKing_CE Nov 27 2008, 11:19 PM
wasn't that the 2nd goal...
regardless... If I am not mistaken one of Pompey's two goals was Senderos' failure to connect with a header.
Posted by: whoarethepatriots Nov 27 2008, 11:19 PM
I was incredibly optimistic about Milan and a relatively fierce Carlo supporter. Now the opposite is true, i have no faith in sections of the squad and i have no faith left whatsoever in Ancelotti
Posted by: acid911 Nov 27 2008, 11:19 PM
Oh, my! No, not the last one.
I need my GCarlo fix just like you need your Dida fix. Keep them coming.
Posted by: gal_kenny Nov 27 2008, 11:21 PM
Favalli needs to retire..He's 36 and would be 37 in january...He can't pull a maldini...He's already 40....Senderos should be loaned back..What happened to Darmian..Try him out Ancelotti.I remember him giving Amauri problem in the Trofeo match at d beginning of the season
Posted by: MizNelson Nov 27 2008, 11:21 PM
I had those exact same feelings about today's match, because I was so looking forward to it. Most of you have probably never seen me so hot and bothered like this before.
Posted by: TriniKing_CE Nov 27 2008, 11:23 PM
Thanks for refreshing my memory!
I recall that now that you have brought it up, I was impressed.
