Just goes to show how fragile life is. How these professionals who are continuously tested and monitored by medical professionals can just suddenly die is always so jarring to me. RIP Davide, a once Milan youth player as well



Games today have all been postponed. I feel sorry for all those who travelled to Milan to watch this, but it's better to postpone since all the players must be in shock right now as well as a sign of respect to the Astori family

I'm really sorry for Astori. It's terrible. But don't you think postponing all games is a tad excessive?

Well I'm conflicted about that one.

I understand why the league postponed the matches. It's a show of respect to his family and to Fiorentina. A lot of players are also his friends having played with him with the NT or at Cagliari. Most of them are in shock. I read somewhere that the players warming up for the early kick off in the Genoa-Cagliari game, went off in tears when they learned the news.

Looking at it from a purely selfish perspective, in terms of my Milan colours tinted glasses, the postponement of the game (in a vacuum) is both good and bad for us.

On the one hand we're on a great streak atm, so this would have been prime time to face Inter who have been terrible since December.

On the other hand though, you have to consider that this is a good thing for us in terms of having a rest after putting so much effort against both Roma and Lazio (which went to extra time). So this will give the players a breather and they'll be fresher for the Arsenal game.

And having watched Arsenal today against Brighton (lost 2-1), if we go in all fully fit, with fresher legs having a full week to prepare, I really think we can kill the tie at the San Siro.

No, I'm talking about all those people that have travelled in Milan to watch the derby, and not just from Italy. I was at the last derby, it takes a lot of planning and money to make a trip like that. I would have been immensely pissed if they had postponed the game.

That too. And I would be p!ssed off too.

But there really is nothing you can do about it. I know people who went to Turin last week to watch the Juve Atalanta game which was snowed off. When you fly out to watch games there's always a slight risk involved as something can happen which causes postponement.

My concern now is when will they wedge in this fixture in an already very tight fixture list. Especially if we advance in the EL

I agree with X-O. I think it's too excessive. We had players pass away suddenly or unexpectedly in the past as well. I don't recall however that all games were canceled. I mean surely the players of Fiorentina and Udinese are under shock. But the other teams? I really don't know.

His impact was much more I think. He was an Italian NT player, Florence captain and had played for or been team-mates with quite a lot of the Serie A team players. Plus I heard he'd become a father just recently again. Which would be terrible news.

I would have loved for us to have a rest, but I'd have preferred another method and not through this.

Anyway, onwards to Arsenal. Really nervous about this one, because they will be really looking to make a statement and they have the quality. Plus, they only have the Europa League to play for if they wish to make it to UCL next season.

The games will be played on 3-4 April, but the Derby depends on whether we pass through in the EL.

Match starts in about 45 minutes. Lazio drew, Samp lost and Inter have Napoli tonight. So it is essential that we don't trip up here.

Hopefully that Arsenal match didn't completely destroy our confidence.

It's pretty pathetic when you think that we spent around 230M this summer and yet we don't have a decent enough striker. Kalinic is awful.

Agreed, should have scored as well

We need speed in our attack as well, both Suso and Hakan are on the slow side for wingers

It was a decent half, had 2 really great chances. But we need to be better, speed up the build up and be more clinical

Above everyting we lack attacking power. Think about it, we play with three forwards, out of whom Hakan is an attacking mid and Cutrone/Kalinic/Silva are absolutely not up to the task. That only leaves Suso who clearly is not a Kaka’ or Ronaldo to solve things on his own.

Point is, we can’t score for sh*t.
