Hopefully the Auxerre game is a start of a winning streak.
The team needs more time to improve but I saw a lot of positives in the last 30 minutes against Auxerre. A win against Catania when Inter face Palermo the following day is just what we need
Posted by: acid911 Sep 16 2010, 08:58 AM
Who told you to open threads for Serie A games???! 
Last week should have been lesson enough.
Jokes aside, I agree with what you said about the team needing more time to improve. In some areas we are making progress, while in others we are as still as a dead pirate (no offense to our resident friendly buccaneer 
). I thing this one is going to be another cagey affair with us scrapping in towards the end with a 2-1 win. At least word is that Silva will be back, and that's good news. Yay!

Damn it han!!! You're gonna make us lose everything this season.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 16 2010, 09:51 AM
I believe Cesena was a one off for me. 
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Sep 16 2010, 11:06 AM
Hmm.... fortunately my immediate second post rescued the Auxerre game. I'm not sure if I can keep doing this all season.
Posted by: amancik Sep 16 2010, 11:38 AM
Man, it has only been 3 games and Pato is injured again. Glad we bought Robinho. But I do hope Pato could recover in time for Catania but I doubt it.
http://www.football-italia.net/sep16f.html
Yep, he's doubtful for many games. The guy gets injured too many times, it's not a good sign. He runs too much and too quick only to stretch himself in the process.
Posted by: Zed.D Sep 16 2010, 11:59 AM
Good thing we don't have to rush him back and therefore aggravate his injury. better one month than 3 months...
But yeah, it's really annoying he gets injured so much 
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Sep 16 2010, 12:12 PM
Adductor muscle again isn't it?? Well that explains the point behind why we bought Robinho! Imagine where we'd be otherwise.
Posted by: Zed.D Sep 16 2010, 01:23 PM
I fully agree. we can't let Pato's injuries screw us anymore. and this way there is less pressure on the boy to recover asap, too.
Posted by: d'Arc.LP Sep 16 2010, 01:25 PM
I remember me saying something about this in one post ...
Posted by: han2503 Sep 16 2010, 01:41 PM
Yep, last season he was rushed back and they made the injury 10 times worse, now he has time to recover without any pressure, plus Robinho can get fully fit by playing more.
Gazzetta have this line-up
Boateng--Pirlo--Seadorf
Robinho--Ibra--Dinho
I seriously doubt Bonera is going to be starting over Zambro, who was simply one of our best players yesterday.
The midfield is worrying, no defensive mid in Serie A? Can't be too smart a move. Then again both Ambro and Flamini are injured, that leaves Rino and Strasser...
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 16 2010, 02:13 PM
So Pato is injured again, for about 3 weeks, along with Ambro. Am I the only one who's seriously starting to get pissed off of his injuries? Thank f@ck we have Robinho!
As for the line-up, Sportmediaset suggests Gattuso instead of Seedorf. I really hope Flamini recovers in time!
Posted by: d'Arc.LP Sep 16 2010, 02:23 PM

No this makes us 2.
I said that long time ago.
Posted by: William405 Sep 16 2010, 02:35 PM
Is their any report about Flamini's injury,he's been injured for some time.I think if he recovers,our midfeild should be like this Flamini:Dm,Boatang Box to Box midfeilder, Seedorf:Playmaker. I think we should seriously give Pirlo a break,then entering him in the last 20mins or so.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 16 2010, 02:45 PM

Hopefully not, it hurts me more then most to say this, but Rino is finished. He just cannot play at this level any more. And it would be a mistake to play him against Catania, who have some quick players. Boateng--Pirlo--Seedof will have to do as long as we play it smrt we should be ok
Yes he needs a rest, but atm I don't think that's do-able. We really cannot play without him, maybe we can play a Seedorf--Boateng--Flamini midfield when all are fit and it's a game that allows it, but until then resting Pirlo is out of the question.
Posted by: d'Arc.LP Sep 16 2010, 03:01 PM
Let's hope Flamini recovers for Catania.
If not I'd like to see Seedorf-Pirlo-Gattuso or Boateng-Pirlo-Gattuso I had to pick Gattuso since we don't have another DM available.
Posted by: Suhail 3 Sep 16 2010, 03:03 PM
Im still abit annoyed at losing last week but i hope we win this weve had an easier start to the season than inter
they ve had bologna udinese palermo
we ve had lecce cesena catania

I prefer Strasser over Gattuso.I don't want to see gattuso starting another game again,he has lost it.Against cesna,he wasn't really playing with discipline and doing what Dms are supposed to do.We already saw in pre season that currently Strasser is better than Gattuso.

Against Catania that midfield should be okay. Resting Pato is a great idea, and Zambrotta should play RB, true. For a second I thought Zambrotta gets a rest, but it's too soon for a rest, right? He barely played.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 16 2010, 04:08 PM
Don't know why Gazzetta have Bonera starting over him...
Also Pato is not resting he's at least out for 3 weeks. Another muscle problem.
I think if the midfield is disciplined, it should be ok for Catania, but Boateng needs to be more focused rather then erratic. As he was against Auxerre. And Seedorf needs to pull his weight as well
Posted by: Ry4n Sep 16 2010, 05:26 PM
This should be a good match i hope Nesta plays , i'm a big fan of Morimoto hes a great Talent
Posted by: CHU-LIP Sep 16 2010, 05:54 PM
That's why it's a great idea.
(Someone on here said he hopes Pato can play this match, so he kinda confused me. I know he's injured, I just didn't know for how long. 3 weeks?
Well, we still got Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic and Robinho, but still... no fun... unlucky Pato, first his goals get cancelled against Cesena and now injured.)Such a big fan you gave him a new name!
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 16 2010, 05:57 PM
I thought this was gonna be the break season for Pato, after his splendid performance against Lecce and his good appearances in the Brazilian NT. But it looks like he's going back to his former "oh-my-god-my-thumb-hurts-I'm-gonna-die" self.
Posted by: acid911 Sep 16 2010, 06:19 PM
Oh it was you all along, then!
And here I thought it was the CL theme song music that changed our fortunes:La la la la la! La la la la! La lalalaaa la!
I'd rather imagine where we'd be if Robinho too gets injured. I mean few here have thought about this.
Our options when two of the fantastic four go down are severely limited. Let's just hope it never comes to this.

His run around vs Auxerre was emberassing on so many levels. I am of the oppinion that Amelia gets a chance next game
Posted by: amancik Sep 16 2010, 08:39 PM
Don't forget we have Odu!

Hopefully we'll see Robo's scoring debut 
Posted by: d'Arc.LP Sep 17 2010, 12:31 AM
If you're talking about Robinho, +1
Posted by: agenth Sep 17 2010, 12:36 AM

I'm on this train...
but I guess Abbiatti is the senior, and thus more preferred.
I bet Allegri will still play Abbiatti... :S
Posted by: acid911 Sep 17 2010, 02:41 AM
I know, it'll have to be Inzaghi and maybe even one of the kids if needed.
But still there will be a drop in quality and a change in tactics, so let's just hope it never comes to that. If we want to win something (hopefully the Scudetto) this season it will help a lot if at least the 3 of the bunch are available at all times. A couple of matches we can manage, but a long stretch could see us drop unnecessary points.True that.
I was watching it live with my brother and saying: "Brace yourself! Here comes a goal!" Any other big team could have punished us much harder for that stupid lapse in concentration. Having said that, I still don't think Amelia is firmly in the frame as of this writing. But I am sure the coach is observing things. Very closely.It shouldn't be that case though.
The last few matches that Abbiati played last season were disastrous, and the Amelia I saw in preseason made me sure that he will get the nod to start. I'm fine with either keepers as long as they are performing, but I can only hope that it Abbiati will be between the posts, he gets his form back and don't cost us a stupid point or three.
Posted by: Linkman Sep 17 2010, 02:55 AM
Yeah I figured if I kept calling him Robbers someone would get scared about actual robbers
. So Robo it is!But don't call him Binho, that sounds awful.

I find it pretty funny actually.
Man who sucks on thumb. Lol!!! Reminds me of the Man with no Name.
But I think we agreed on Zambrotta being Zamborghini. I think it was acid's idea.
Dali Llama is cool too. Dali coz he's an artist. And Llama coz he looks like one.
I prfer to call R80 the Maestro.
Posted by: acid911 Sep 17 2010, 07:19 AM
Yup, your memory serves you right, matey!
It was yours truly who thought of this nick.But for better or for worse, I only have two memories of Zamborghini up till now. Not much, I know.
One is his scorching goal a couple of months after his debut in Serie A, and another in the inter match when he lay down full own while defending and blocked a certain goal. Other than that, he has been generally good, and surely not spectacular. Pretty sad if you ask me. I know age has caught up with him, but still. If only he had signed for us in his prime. All things considered I'd rather have him in the team than not.
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Sep 17 2010, 07:24 AM
+1. I wanted to be just like him when I was playing. Didn't help that none of my 'then' teammates couldn't understand what a RB was doing running into the box. When I said 'overlap' they looked at me like I was mentally challenged.
Posted by: acid911 Sep 17 2010, 07:31 AM
Agreed. 
And well the sorry state of our flanks (for a high profile club like Milan) means we can't complain too much for the time being. We should have at least one quality LB/RB (like Maicon and few other top class ones), but since we don't just let Zambro play a game a week and hope for the best.
Antonini, Abate, and either learning the trade, or at most would be 2nd choice at other big clubs.
Posted by: MizNelson Sep 17 2010, 08:27 AM
I'm only posting this because I think acid will get a kick out of it.
(Bleacher Report)
Posted by: acid911 Sep 17 2010, 08:57 AM
Oh, I did get a kick out of it. Certainly ranks right up there with that infamous Milan Team of The Decade article that had Abbiati as the goalie, LOL. Earned the spot, they say!
PS. Love the new signature!

I agree but still he is the maestro of the team...
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Sep 17 2010, 10:14 AM
No. He's Il Metronome, Tinkerbell...he's our resident magic elf/leprachaun. Have you seen his ears. Definitely Elfish. Maestros like R80 have skill. Pirlo has magic.

I hope something like this won't happen anymore.
Abbiatti has been okay, I guess, but sometimes it looks like he lost his mind.
I'd like to try Amelia again and try to integrate him into the team...
Pirlo is a fairy with magic
He has awesome hair

Heya , what formation is Allegri playing at the moment ?
Posted by: d'Arc.LP Sep 17 2010, 04:25 PM
HERE are all the quotes from Massimiliano Allegri’s press conference.
AC Milan are set to host Calcio Catania on Saturday night, and coach Allegri held a press conference earlier today.
Here are all the quotes from the press conference:
Milan-Catania: Probable formations
Maldini: ‘Milan can win this year’
14:41 The press conference has been closed.
14:40: On the situation of Zlatan Ibrahimovic: “Ibrahimovic has done better in the second half with Auxerre, was involved in the game and served quickly. We must all work according to our game system, which allows us to do well and to exploit the qualities of our players. We must play with Ibra, but without changing anything.”
14:38: Allegri on Ronaldinho’s position on the pitch: “We will never see Ronaldinho playing as a pure playmaker, thus confirming the role of the Brazilian, as it is well known, prefers to play on the left wing.
14:37: On the condition of Thiago Silva: “We will see today, it is reasonably that after the training I will confirm the possibility of placing him on the pitch.”
14:36: On the approach to the game, especially the game of tomorrow, Allegri said: “The approach to each match is important, I think it is also crucial to have patience with which the team must try to unlock the tough matches. Catania is well organized defensively, has technical and quality players up front, we need attention. “
14:34: The midfield started looking better when Kevin-Prince Boateng replaces Ambro against Auxerre: “I’m sorry for the injury of Ambro, but we have four midfielders who are in a good condition that they give us guarantees.”
14:30: Errors of the defense: “We have to avoid certain errors that usually arise from game situations in our favor, such as corners, we must not expose ourselves too much when we lose some balls, we will find solutions.”
14:24: Asked whether the injuries of Massimo Ambrosini and Alexandre Pato will change the gameplay, Allegri said: “I think it is wrong to change the gameplay too, there may be changes, but we continue on the path taken in July.”
14:22: On Robinho as Alexandre Pato’s replacement: “I must evaluate this today as if it will be Binho, we also have Pippo who is doing well and can play with Ibra.
14:18: Milan look different away from the San Siro, on this, Allegri said: “It’s hard to judge now after a short time, Cesena was a strange match, as we did not play badly in my opinion. We made two errors behind, and it’s too little to assess that.”
14:15: Allegri started with an analyze of the match against Auxerre on Wednesday: “We hope to restart with a victory tomorrow. On Wednesday, we spent a nervous and physical energy, which was expected by all, but the team found the victory. Catania is organized, has good quality players, we should have the right mentality against them.”
14:05: Soon, broadcasted live on Milan Channel, the press conference of Coach Massimiliano Allegri will start

Calcio Catania will be playing AC Milan on Saturday night (20:45) at Stadio San Siro, and they have announced on their squad for this Serie A match.

EDIT:
MILAN-CATANIA: THE ROSSONERI SQUAD
9/17/2010
MILAN - Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has named his 20-man squad for the match against Catania:
GOALKEEPERS: Abbiati, Amelia, Roma;
DEFENDERS: Antonini, Bonera, Nesta, Papastathopoulos, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta, Yepes;
MIDFIELDERS: Abate, Boateng, Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf;
FORWARDS: Ibrahimovic, Inzaghi, Oduamadi, Robinho, Ronaldinho.
Unavailable: Oddo, Ambrosini, Flamini, Pato.
Not called up: Jankulovski, Montelongo, Onyewu, Strasser
Posted by: William405 Sep 17 2010, 08:07 PM
Err,Flamini not fit :/,what was his injury.Why isn't Strasser called!I mean come on,he looked good in the pre season,and we really needed a Defense midfeild.Beh!I hope we see Nesta-Thiago Silvo duo,would be awesome .
Posted by: d'Arc.LP Sep 17 2010, 08:26 PM
Milan-Catania, Milan's possible formation :
Zambrotta – Nesta – Silva – Antonini
Gattuso – Pirlo – Seedorf
Robinho – Ronaldinho
Ibrahimovic
Bench: Amelia, Papastathopoulos, Yepes, Abate, Boateng, Oduamandi and Inzaghi

Hopefully we don't see the Rino-Pirlo-Seedorf midfield combo. If Rino plays, he needs to play his old position of holding back doing the dirty work for Pirlo, plus Boateng instead of Seedorf, because that is really one slow midfield
Posted by: d'Arc.LP Sep 17 2010, 08:53 PM
It's on Allegri, but I can't see Boateng entering before Gattuso.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 17 2010, 09:00 PM
I'm a big Rino fan, but he can no longer play at Serie A level. Boateng imo should start ahead of him. The problem is that we have no other DM aside from Rino available. So we can either risk the Boateng-Pirlo-Seedorf midfield, as is predicted by Gazzetta, or we go for the more cautious approach and play the DM, in that case Seedorf would have to be dropped for Boateng as playing Rino-Pirlo-Seedorf will most likeley get us ripped apart because of the lack of any pace in that midfield
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 17 2010, 09:55 PM
Boateng is certain to start. The race is between Gattuso and Seedorf. Also, Robinho didn't train with the squad so he might start from the bench (hopefully not).
Posted by: d'Arc.LP Sep 17 2010, 09:59 PM
I would never play without a DM. Allegri knows he shouldn't play without a DM. Seedorf & Pirlo are untouchable that means it's between Gennaro and Kevin. Like you said G. is the only DM we have right now...
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 17 2010, 10:03 PM
Dude, just because you don't like Boateng doesn't mean he ain't be playing.
I can assure you Boateng is the most certain to start tomorrow.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 17 2010, 10:04 PM
Why didn't he train with the team? Is something wrong with him as well??
3 weeks into the season and players already dropping like flies
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 17 2010, 10:07 PM
3 weeks into the season and players already dropping like flies
Yeah, probably some light injury.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 17 2010, 10:10 PM
So a Dinho-Pippo-Ibra front 3 tomorrow?
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 17 2010, 10:26 PM
So a Dinho-Pippo-Ibra front 3 tomorrow?
Hopefully not. I'd rather us play Seedorf instead of Inzaghi.

Thanks. It was in LAST MONTH'S issue of the Milan magazine, which I wasn't even aware of until I visited the site just last night. Not only am I upset at just missing it (coulda asked Fishdoll to pick it up for me), but I was also silently cursing the magazine stand that used to sell it but stopped nearly two years ago.
Posted by: d'Arc.LP Sep 17 2010, 11:04 PM

I'm professional, I don't have feelings
Gattuso is better choice and I know Allegri will chose him.
Wait and see.

Gattuso is better choice and I know Allegri will chose him.
Wait and see.
Really those 2 sentences in the same post don't make any sense. You clearly don't like Boateng for whatever reason. I agree he's not the smartest player out there put we already have Pirlo and Seedorf who sometimes are too smart for their own good in midfield, we need some exuberance, power and pace in that midfield, and Boateng is just the man to provide that
Posted by: d'Arc.LP Sep 17 2010, 11:40 PM
Look like Allegri said we have to start the game with right menality. We have enough strikers, we need a balanced team more than attacking one.
We definetly must start with Gattuso in midfield. Pirlo is out of question, so Seedorf could go out for Boateng, but since Seedorf is a good friend to Mr. Allegri I think he'll start

Why does Onyewu not get called up. I don't get it!
Posted by: alskor Sep 18 2010, 06:34 AM
Well, he didn't look even close to fit at the World Cup... may still be getting back to full speed.
...not that there's a major role waiting for him. He wasn't even named to the CL roster... clearly behind Yepes and Bonera. Might see him on a weekend when we face a minnow and have a midweek CL game. Copa, too.

yeah Gattuso is in the starting Eleven.
Probably cos Robinho's injured (as Gazzetta suggests).
KPB moved up into the trident attack.

due to unforeseen circumstances
I'm sure if Robinho were fit,
Gattuso wouldn't be called up.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 02:15 PM
Robinho is called up and playing Boateng as an attacker doesn't make any sense

You're wrong

Because a) he's crap,
he's the last choice of our 6 CBs.Well, I'm not han.

Relax
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 18 2010, 04:15 PM
It looks like Boa will play alongside Ibra and Dinho in attack. Midfield should be Gattuso-Pirlo-Seedorf.
Don't really know what to make of it.
Posted by: CHU-LIP Sep 18 2010, 04:48 PM
Don't really know what to make of it.
A fourth midfielder really... I would have liked this against a strong side... but against Catania? Not so sure...
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 04:51 PM
I really don't understand it either.
Imo we'll see some form off 4-4-2 with Seedorf more advanced then the other 3 Boateng in attack would be ridiculous, you're wasting 3/4 of what he can offer to our game
Posted by: d'Arc.LP Sep 18 2010, 04:52 PM
Some reports are saying that Inzaghi will play instead of Pato. Also Boateng will start in midfield with Pirlo and Seedorf...

If we play with Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf and Boateng, I believe both Seedorf and Boateng will have a lot of attacking duties. At least that would make sense to me. But all four are midfielders IMO, so yes, I would call it 4-4-2 too.
Will Catania be a team that will be very defensive against us? I remember a match against Inter where they were very dangerous attacking last season, so I'm not sure.
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Sep 18 2010, 05:39 PM
I say 4-3-3 with Ibra and Ronaldinho on the flanks, spearheaded by Pippo
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 18 2010, 06:09 PM
It looks like that's how it's gonna be.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 06:28 PM
And it's the Seedorf-Pirlo-Boateng midfield as well?

Why Bonera over Zambrotta??!!! :doubleheadbang:
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Sep 18 2010, 07:05 PM
Posted by: Danny Sep 18 2010, 07:09 PM
Robinho is definitely injured?
Posted by: alskor Sep 18 2010, 07:18 PM
I assume its just a strategic decision to try to keep Zambrotta fresh over the course of the season after midweek European games. I can't imagine Allegri straight out prefers Bonera... especially after the stinker he laid against Cesena as a RB.
This lineup really worries me. Boateng better run his butt off covering back or we're going to be in trouble. Pirlo and Seedorf together in the midfield is a serious liability. If I'm Catania I've been preaching to my team all week that Milan can be hit on the counter attack and showing them the Cesena tape. This lineup would have played right into my hands. The key, yet again, will be whether the wingers (Ronaldinho and Ibra) get back to help. We can't have 3 guys standing around up top and 7 guys trying to defend 8 attacking players. That looks to me like a Maxi Lopez brace. No idea where our width comes from on attack either. Antonini and Bonera aren't much help there and who will cover their runs? Seedorf? Trouble. Perhaps the game plan is to have Boateng actually stay in a holding role in midfield and rely on our attackers to come through with a moment of individual brilliance?

He's not on the bench so yes he's injured.
Posted by: Jack Bauer Sep 18 2010, 07:39 PM
Bonera surely is happy that we have a new coach. So far he's starting in every game.
I really hope it's just to keep Zambro fresh and we are not going to make Bonera our starting RB.
Pippo + Ibra should be interesting to see.
Posted by: Danny Sep 18 2010, 07:39 PM
He's not on the bench so yes he's injured.
Ta. I mean there's a small chance he also was not called up...

2 very selfish strikers playing next to each other, very interesting
I think he picked up a knock against Auxerre, in fact he went into the dressing rooms when the game ended limping. I think it's just a precaution
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 07:44 PM
Where on God's good earth is your previous signature, the Ibra image? I'm pretty sure I've done my time after losing the bet, which was for 2 weeks btw.
Posted by: Jack Bauer Sep 18 2010, 07:47 PM
Selfish but lethal
Sure it's not ideal but Ibra can aslo play a withdrawn role.
Too but Robinho's injury came now. With Pato out, he had a chance to blend in early and get a good run in the starting 11.
Posted by: alskor Sep 18 2010, 07:50 PM
Oh look! Trouble on the counter attack already!
Awesome. They look slow as hell out there.
For those knocking Ibra - he's scored some pretty fantastic goals already this season... imagine where we would be without him right now.
EDIT: On my way out the door... don't be offended if I don't respond.
Posted by: Dracoris Sep 18 2010, 07:52 PM
Ibra on the right. I guess Allegri has been checking my posts.
Posted by: acid911 Sep 18 2010, 07:53 PM
Oh good, didn't know the bet was for 2 weeks. And here I thought it was for all eternity.
I'm happy for you then, no one should be subject to put up a signature they don't like, at least not for too long.PS. Paolo Maldini in the stand.

Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 08:06 PM
Boateng already yellowed
Wide open spaces in our midfield. Catania are attaking us and Seedorf is jogging somwhere up the pitch
Posted by: m1ke Sep 18 2010, 08:06 PM
Boateng yellow - even though he got the ball first. Bad decision.
Posted by: Dracoris Sep 18 2010, 08:07 PM

Everytime Bonera crosses it's so bad, but it always reaches Dinho

Boateng is playing hard but not hard enough for a yellow, Im loving him right now!
Posted by: Dracoris Sep 18 2010, 08:12 PM
Dinho not playing bad, just really unlucky tonight. He needs to keep at it, it'll come. We're doing ok.

Posted by: Portman Sep 18 2010, 08:19 PM
1. Our defense/defensive-midfield is far away from the value of the rest of the team.
2. Our coach is no way prepared for a top club. You can clearly see that from distance.
We'll win tonight though.

Seedorf can't even find the target. Another good ball by Zlatan.
Ronaldinho not having a good game at all.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 08:25 PM
Dinho needs to act quicker, he's taking too much time and he's being closed down quickly.
Pippo is becoming a liability there, he's pushing Ibra wide and he's is very ineffective there
Posted by: Darunia Sep 18 2010, 08:26 PM

can someone explain to me why Catania keep the ball away from the area? Oh wait... IT'S BECAUSE THE OTHER TEAM SCORE WITH THAT ****ING THING!!! Seriously, I'd rather we had conceded twice by counter-attacks than that way...
finally... Pippo! it's not offside.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 08:32 PM

This will lift his spirits for the second half

Posted by: elcordobez Sep 18 2010, 08:38 PM
We are a LOT less static compared to the Auxerre game.
Posted by: Danny Sep 18 2010, 08:40 PM
Quite abysmal performance in which we got a goal we did not deserve. It all clicked in the opening game and most of us were delighted, but the dire display against Cesena followed by this first half mauling on our own patch suggests Allegri really isn't settled and neither is the team.
We don't look right - we look edgy, uneasy, and far too open. Teams are r@ping us on the counter with total ease, and we're making mediocre teams look world class.
A win is essential, more than the performance, but with that level of display, we really won't get the win.
Massive improvement needed in the second half.
Posted by: Danny Sep 18 2010, 08:42 PM
The stats were damning in that first half. We might be moving about a bit more, but we're not doing much with it.
Posted by: Linkman Sep 18 2010, 08:43 PM
Do we really have to go a goal down to start playing??
It would explain why we keep fielding Abbiatti.
Posted by: Dracoris Sep 18 2010, 08:43 PM
I expect a much better half after that rejuvinating goal
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 18 2010, 08:43 PM
I have no words for this first half. I don't think I've ever witnessed a Milan game where there was this much unbalance on the field. Allegri should be ashamed really. Substitute Seedorf with Gattuso, we have no midfield for f@ck's sake!!!
Posted by: d'Arc.LP Sep 18 2010, 08:43 PM
We have only one forward in our bench.
I want to see Gattuso in for Seedorf and Oduamandi for Pippo.
Next game Amelia for Abbiati.

Pirlo was pretty poor too. Quite honestly I wouldn't blame anyone in particular, something as a whole just isn't right.
Posted by: agenth Sep 18 2010, 08:48 PM
just sub either Pirlo or Seedorf.
Both don't look good atm, as they both are too slow, and they are virtually noneffective on counterattacks.
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Sep 18 2010, 08:48 PM

Pippo's goal was actually onside. Good call by the linesman.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 08:49 PM

The team looks confused as a whole.
I think this is all adjustment related.

Whenever his neck is covered up (turtleneck? collar?), coupled with his bald head, Abi looks like this. It's the very first image that came to mind whenever I saw him that way.
Posted by: Dracoris Sep 18 2010, 09:00 PM
Zambro for Pippo, Bonera to CB, Silva to DM. With our injuries this might not be a horrible idea. Inzaghi is playing well but for how long.

We need to make some changes now...
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 09:20 PM
Taking his sweet @ss time to come off!!!

Some more time wasting
Posted by: Zed.D Sep 18 2010, 09:24 PM
Boateng he's amazing!!!
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 09:27 PM
So close from the corner
Posted by: I_Rossoneri Sep 18 2010, 09:27 PM
he's amazing!!!Why do you say that? I thought he's been one of our best players. In fact if Ibra put as much into playing as Boateng does then we'd be winning now.
Posted by: Coldest Sep 18 2010, 09:30 PM
The best thing is that we haven't made any subs yet ?
Posted by: m1ke Sep 18 2010, 09:30 PM
This sub has come 20mins too late...
Posted by: Linkman Sep 18 2010, 09:30 PM
FINALLY A SUB
Posted by: Zed.D Sep 18 2010, 09:30 PM
Odu for Pippo

Odu for Pippo
Posted by: agenth Sep 18 2010, 09:30 PM
I think he was serious...
he accidentally ellbowed the player and still got a FK
Posted by: servbot Sep 18 2010, 09:30 PM
Boateng has given a truckload of effort in this match. He knows he has to earn his playing time it seems.
Posted by: Dracoris Sep 18 2010, 09:31 PM
DOUCHEBAGS.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 09:31 PM
Look at Galliani!!
Posted by: Zed.D Sep 18 2010, 09:32 PM
I meant it. he's a monster like Gattuso in his prime, only he can actually dribble, make accurate passes, take shots, etc. great, great free buy!
Posted by: agenth Sep 18 2010, 09:33 PM
lol I like Boateng.
I thought he looked like a troublesome guy, but I guess first impressions aren't everything.
With time he won't be that aggressive anymore
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 09:35 PM
Looks like another 2 points lost...
Posted by: Linkman Sep 18 2010, 09:35 PM
And there is Rino, for some reason.
EDIT: I'll be starting a trust fund. It'll be called "Fund so Bonera can afford crossing lessons."
Posted by: servbot Sep 18 2010, 09:35 PM
Odd substition...
Posted by: Coldest Sep 18 2010, 09:35 PM
What's the point of making the sub in the last minute ?
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 09:36 PM
Only 4 minutes!!
They've been wasting so much time!!!
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 09:38 PM
Galliani out
Posted by: Zed.D Sep 18 2010, 09:39 PM
AHHhh Zlatan nearly
Posted by: Linkman Sep 18 2010, 09:39 PM
ft 1-1
>:(
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 09:40 PM
FT
Another dissapointing performance!!!
And we have another game midweek, they need to get their heads together fast!
Hopefully Palermo hold Inter so we don't lose too much ground on them this early
Posted by: Zed.D Sep 18 2010, 09:41 PM
fuc'k
I don't want to be saying this, but I'm not sure we brought the right coach...
Posted by: Dracoris Sep 18 2010, 09:41 PM
What a weird subsitution at the end. We need a goal so....lets put on the most defensive midfielder in the league. Is Allegri high?
Terribly disappointed.
Posted by: Portman Sep 18 2010, 09:41 PM
Hopefully Don Silvio will fire this "coach" before Inter have a 10-point advance.
This guy is 10 times worse than Ancelotti and at the same ridunkulous level as Leo. Bring a proper and proven coach already.
Posted by: CrazyMilanFan Sep 18 2010, 09:41 PM
another 2 points gone quite regular stuff and why would one sub seedorf so late i mean he can score those late winners
Posted by: elcordobez Sep 18 2010, 09:42 PM
damn draw
that early sitter Pippo missed was decisive
he's a confusing character
Posted by: d'Arc.LP Sep 18 2010, 09:42 PM
Boateng deserve's a place in first team. That's all I can say for this game.
Posted by: dst Sep 18 2010, 09:42 PM
thank God we had a change in coach because last season we only managed a draw against Catania at San Siro!
Posted by: agenth Sep 18 2010, 09:43 PM
??
you want to fire Allegri?
How long does his c0ontract run?
and who would you suggest to replace? lol

Berlu should buy out the Turkish FF and bring us Hiddink. less won't do.
Posted by: Lumeci Sep 18 2010, 09:45 PM
what the **** alegri he makes subs in last 10 min e why robinho didnt come in aftyer the first half whyyyyy im pissed offfff in alegri
Posted by: I_Rossoneri Sep 18 2010, 09:45 PM
Ah sorry, by the smiley you used I thought you were being sarcastic! IMO Boateng has been the best signing of the summer so far.
Posted by: Danny Sep 18 2010, 09:46 PM
This is clearly an unsettling period of transition for Milan, one which has been underway for a long time. We just never seem to look like having extended periods of organisation and discipline, whether it was the end of Carlo's reign, most of Leo's, or this Allegri era.
The balance has not been right for a long time, and even signing a host of decent new players, including one or two real heavyweights, hasn't made much difference.
This game in particularly hugely doused the belief we can win the league. It is early days and all can change, and often does, but while Leo's Milan start was just poor, I cannot quite put my finger on what is wrong with Allegri's.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 09:48 PM
Let's look at it from the logical angle here. We had and still have an overwhelming schedule to play, the team hasn't really had time to train and prepare before the real deal happened. 2 new players come in, NT break, 1 day training we face Cesena, then the schedule is simply unrelenting.
What is really unfair is that we played on Wednesday in the CL and had to play Serie A today, while Inter played CL on Tuesday and play Serie A tomorrow, that's 2 full days more to prepare!
Posted by: agenth Sep 18 2010, 09:48 PM
Robinho's injured, that's why.
Other than that, don't get why Allegri waited so long to sub somebody in.
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 09:49 PM
Let's not get on Allegri's back for a sub, he really didn't have any good options on the bech. My only gripe is that he let Bonera stay on, I think they're sill being cautious with Zambro which would be the only logical explenation as to why Bonera started
Posted by: Bluesummers Sep 18 2010, 09:50 PM
Little dissapointed but its expected. Allegri's work won't be shown until november. You guys can jump up and down all day and say he's either brilliant or an idiot but it won't matter.
This is still leo's team. Allegri is not a wizard, he's not going to pop in and change the team in a month. Its going to take time and he will make some mistakes to see what works and doesn't.
He's our best option right now; hiddink level coaches are not realistic.

One word - slow! Our counter attacks are awful because we get so far then have to turn back because there is either no-one capable of running with the ball, or no-one capable of getting ahead of the player with the ball. Meanwhile Catania looked dangerous each time they countered...
Another thing I've noticed with Allegri's Milan is how exposed we look when attacking. If our attack breaks down our players seem slow to react/get back and too many times we are left 3 or 4 on 1 and luckily we haven't conceded yet but it surely can't be long before we do. I think Allegri needs to sort his system out and get the players playing it before it's too late.

tbh, the right coach can make a team great overnight. I've seen it happen time and time again.
This is not me saying Allegri sucks, but generally I find the start a manager makes, by and large, reflects the chances of success for the rest of their time.
If they start well over the first month or so, you can probably assume overall they'll be a success. If their first month is poor, overall they'll probably fail.

Well we had attacking momentum for a very long period during the 2nd half,i don't think he wanted to mess that up with a sub,i think for a good 20mins we had chance after chance.
Posted by: RinoIlCapitano Sep 18 2010, 09:56 PM
Definitely, he must play ! He is the best player of the season so far!

That only happens in these circumstances:
1) The players and the manager are the same. Share same oppionion on how football should be played, same philosphy same mindset same everything. Then its easy.
or
2) The manager gets to buy the players of his choice that suit him and his philosophies.
Allegri got neither. So he needs to time to see what works and what doesn't. The players need time aswell to see what the manager wants and doesnt.
Posted by: agenth Sep 18 2010, 09:58 PM
it was clear that inzaghi was too exhausted to play, and he and ibra actually cancel each other out, i don't think it's a good idea to play them on the same time...
Posted by: RinoIlCapitano Sep 18 2010, 10:02 PM
I agree (again)!
Oh i just hate to look Bonera on the RB, maybe we can try with flamini, this would gave a lot of space more for antonini on the left because flamini would cover a lot better and he will even help in those ugly counters that happens to us, and we will be more balanced at all with one more crazy runner alongside with Prince so we will cover 10 times better and flamini will even help pirlo and the hole team would be better i think. So flamini must play for me, but i also think that seedorf is important in taking the ball forward so its the only think that falls on my mind , flamini on RB with KPB , pirlo and clarence in the midfield i think this will help get us balance! What do you think?
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 10:03 PM
All I can say is hopefully Robinho recovers by Wednesday. Pippo was killing me out wide and Ibra is wasted there. We really got screwed that Robinho managed to get injured the same week that Pato went down for one of his marathon recoveries
Posted by: I_Rossoneri Sep 18 2010, 10:04 PM
I thought exactly the same thing. IMO our system needs one static forward(Ibra or Pippo) and runners around them.
Posted by: pacang Sep 18 2010, 10:04 PM
his workrate's amazing.. and a damn good fighter as well..
Posted by: amancik Sep 18 2010, 10:05 PM
One thing we expected was when we use this line-up, we are exposed at the back and in the midfield. It's funny when DM position was never really our problem until this season.
Posted by: agenth Sep 18 2010, 10:07 PM
so who is injured vs Lazio?
i hope not too many as we can't afford to drop any points!!

And you can say all you want too, but it won't change the fact he messed up big time tonight. Playing Pirlo, Seedorf and Boateng in midfield was a mistake a Milan-level coach shouldn't do. Always play a "water carrier" alongside the creative mid and never play a game without defensive midfielders. Boateng is not a defensive midfielder, Seedorf certainly isn't and neither is Pirlo. Can you believe the amount of counter attacks Catania had tonight? I know it sounds nasty, but playing Gattuso tonight was a necessity. Seedorf is just dead weight. All he does is lose balls and never defends. Besides, why on earth did he play Inzaghi wide when Pippo can barely dribble at all? Plus the very late sub of Oduamadi and the incomprehensible entering of Gattuso one minute from full time... Duh, what douche!

What do you think?I don't think Flamini would want to play at RB, also imo, Zambrotta is our absolute best option for that position. I don't know why he didn't start today, but hopefully there is a good reason for it...
If Flamini is fit next game, we should try a Flamini--Pirlo--Boateng midfield. We really need some legs in there.
Imo al our problems lie in the concerns most had before the season started, the FBs and midfield. The midfield today in the first half was pretty much non-existant, Boateng running like a maniac into the box, Seedorf jugging around up the pitch, and Pirlo in no man's land. Bonera again, running up the pitch like a headless chicken, he doesn't know how to make runs that help the forward playing on his side, every cross he makes ends up anywhere but where it's supposed to, and not only that he gets caught out every time. Why? Because he's out of position, and this is something that I've been talking about all summer
Posted by: pacang Sep 18 2010, 10:10 PM
last three games Milan played just created a thought, that maybe our first game performance was a one-hit wonder..
but there's still a long way to go..
Posted by: X-Offender Sep 18 2010, 10:12 PM
We must also consider the fact though, that our two best DMs (Flamini and Ambro) and our two second strikers (Pato and Robinho) were all injured for tonight. I mean, what are the odds really?
Posted by: han2503 Sep 18 2010, 10:14 PM
but there's still a long way to go..
I think the pressure put on Allegri with the signings made is starting to get to him.
You don't play that good as a one off. Sue Lecce gave us a lot of space but still we were really good, the way the entire team moved, constantly offering Pirlo options. I believe we can get that back, but the team needs time, time I don't think we have, especially if Inter really find their feet, we could be 10 points off by the time we really click again and that is something we can't afford to have happen
