QUOTE (javierk128 @ Apr 13 2007, 09:31 PM) You are not seriously comapring those 2 with Ronaldo are you? The best way to play is by getting the upper hand in midfield, thus playing with 1 striker. Doubleing up on their wingers everytime they get the ball will be key. The fact that they play such an open game without any clear defensive midfielder will suite us better since for once Kaka won't have to worry about being constantly marked by 2 players. Pippo can make Ferdinand make a couple of goofs also. Imo Rooney won't be much of a problem, especially now that Nesta is back in his best for. Strifling their wingers will be key.

He scored against Bayern but he was off side and it was so easy Christian Maldini would have netted it! (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Every other time he touched the ball he always lost it! Bayern's defence was crappy, neither Van Buyten nor Lucio were where they were supposed to be (not only in Pippo's goal but in many other occasions too)... No more Pippo please. Ferdinand is going to kill him!! I mean it, he'll be taken to hospital only with a touch from Rio...

There is a very good chance Gila would have missed that kind of chance... This is what Pippo is all about... He scores. He was probably 50% when he played against Bayern... I don't blame him one bit for the way he played. This season might not be his best, but always remember, if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be playing in the CL right now. He scored when it mattered and he will continue to do so... Forza Pippo! Forza Milan!

You make Ferdinand sound like he's Nesta (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) He's not that good and prone to making idiotic mistakes at times, I've probably watched every Man U game this season and he does make 1 mistake per 2 matches. Some are subtle ones that he recovers from, some are big ones. Pippo dispite the fact that he doesn't know how to play football he is smart, and a tricky customer to handle. He's like a rodant for a defender, that's why they hate him. He will give them a hard time, I'm sure of this. Also judging him on the basis of the Munich game is wrong since he was barely 50% fit and he admitted himself that he was playing through the pain. He will be ready against Man U, there's no doubt about that. QUOTE (pKillerMax @ Apr 14 2007, 03:14 AM) You speak as if you don't know anything about super Pippo.

We talk about the offside goal, but that's the sort of luck Pippo has, if it was Gila and still would have scored then we would have been brought back for offside, I'm pretty sure of this. Plus this is the semi finals, we need experiance out there, and no one can put you to the sword better then pippo

Some are subtle ones that he recovers from, some are big ones. I haven't watched more than 5 or 6 game of United this season but from what I've seen Ferdinand does not make mistakes like the one Van Buyten did in Pippo's goal. I've seen him make bad tackles and semi-good clearances but tactically he didn't make a single mistake. But this is only from 5 games... Van Buyten made a clear tactical mistake by leaving his position. In that occasion (40m from goal, where a shot by Seedorf would be just too ambitious) a defender is not supposed to rush to the ball and destroy the defence line especially when he's marking a player. Anyway... this is not about Rio. It's about Pippo. I exaggerated when I said he's useless, he is always a threat. But how many offside goals is he going to score? If he plays I WISH he proves me wrong! I'd be happy if he did... and I will be supporting him to!! (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

I've seen him make bad tackles and semi-good clearances but tactically he didn't make a single mistake. But this is only from 5 games... I've seen him do them frequantly, it's more losing concentration and making a bad pass that would put his team mates under pressure, those are the most common things I've seen him do, and when a preditor like Inzaghi is urking around that is something that you don't want to do. I'm pretty sure that Pippo would easily get on his nerves. I guess we'll see how effective he'll be against him, even if I suspect that Gila will play in OT and Pippo in SS.

Van Buyten is just a total joke, he should really be moved up as a striker, he would be much more successful in that position. QUOTE (dst @ Apr 14 2007, 11:50 AM) Anyway... this is not about Rio.

(IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) But I understood what you're trying to say, but Rio without Vidic next to him is bound to do one mistake, I'm sure of this.

Yet amid the celebrations of an eighth final appearance under Ferguson, and the prospect of a mouth-watering clash with Chelsea, the concerns in the United camp were obvious following the loss of Rio Ferdinand to a groin injury.
With John O'Shea missing, Nemanja Vidic and Mikael Silvestre sidelined with long-term problems and Gary Neville at least a week away from a return to action from his ankle problem, Ferguson's defensive options have been ravaged to the extent Darren Fletcher was forced into the right-back role, with rookie Youth Cup star Craig Cathcart the only alternative.

Their probalems will have gone down by then with only Vidic probably still being out.
