Cagliari vs. Milan
Sunday, November 25, 2007
14:00 (UK); 15:00 (IT)
Milan and Cagliari legend Enrico Albertosi,..
Posted by: jefri91 Nov 18 2007, 03:00 PM
they have a legend? lol
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Nov 18 2007, 04:21 PM
Well, Cagliari is a club with reputation! Sure, it's a long time ago, but the've won the Serie A, which was not exactly easy back then in the 70ties. Their reputation is probably bigger then Parmas, but...
CC had legends, like Albertosi or Gigi Riva, and btw. Zola ended his career with Cagliari.
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 21 2007, 07:49 PM
After Suazo's departure I'm no longer worried about our games with them.
Easy win for Milan.
Posted by: Tennie Nov 21 2007, 07:56 PM
Cagliari is where Pasquale Foggia (who Milan finally offloaded in the deal to get Oddo) plays. Foggia has earned call ups to the NT and has been on as a sub at least once. He may prove dangerous.
Given Milan's domestic form, I'm hesitant to predict anything.
Posted by: mishie Nov 21 2007, 08:52 PM
the only thing i can say is it's away so i'm a little more hopeful of a result....so i predict a 2-1 away win!
Posted by: amancik Nov 21 2007, 11:15 PM
plus Ronaldo might get a chance to play 
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 21 2007, 11:25 PM
If Ronaldo plays we'll win 3-0, if not, we'll win 2-1.
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Nov 21 2007, 11:52 PM
How come, Milan would concede a goal if R99 didn't play
Posted by: mishie Nov 21 2007, 11:54 PM
good question!
Posted by: Tennie Nov 22 2007, 12:04 AM
It's got to have something to do with Ronie's new hair, R7.
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Nov 22 2007, 12:20 AM
His fro is gonna cover Dida's goal
Or .. I don't know really
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 22 2007, 12:26 AM
Because I think well be that much better with him. The best form of defense is attack afterall.
Posted by: dst Nov 22 2007, 12:31 AM
Yep. It's all about confidence. Ronaldo is going to blow some fresh air into the team!
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Nov 22 2007, 12:32 AM
I believe so too ... I predict a win too
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Nov 22 2007, 10:12 AM
Maybe the Swiss can find a miracle cure for flatulence as well.
Posted by: han2503 Nov 22 2007, 12:13 PM
Ronnie's new hair gives him super powers.
On a serious note that is true. Also I think he will enstill renewed confidence in the team. It's all about playing in a relaxed manner and not going out there worrying about where the next goal is going to come from. Hopefully if Ronnie plays we'll revert back to the 4-3-1-2, him and Gila built a good partnership with each other last season
Let's hope his hair doesn't go with the wind also
Posted by: han2503 Nov 22 2007, 12:13 PM
Oh no he didn't!!!!!
Ari, where are you??
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 22 2007, 01:21 PM
Ari, where are you??
lol...
i didn't know people are looking into a cure for flatulence.. thought they might accept the fact it all goes with the nature
like the talent that comes naturally with certain human beings

This match is being broadcasted on Channel Five's Football Italiano. Kickoff starts at 14:00 GMT
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Nov 22 2007, 09:58 PM
Everytime u say it will be broadcasted on chnnel five .. we get a negative result
Posted by: whoarethepatriots Nov 23 2007, 01:18 AM
Yeah, but those were all home games. My hope is that the curse will be reversed o sunday, otherwise ive gotta stop mentioning it
Posted by: Tennie Nov 23 2007, 01:38 AM
*sniffle* I'm going to miss the game. Will be on holiday and football watching...isn't going to happen. I hope the team play well and get a good result.
Posted by: amancik Nov 23 2007, 09:02 AM
somehow, I'm very optimistic about this game
I've got a feeling that this might be the time ....
I hope Gourcuff and Ronaldo be able to start ...
Posted by: Tennie Nov 23 2007, 07:40 PM
Here's goal.com's probable lineup:
Dida
Oddo Nesta Maldini Kaladze
Gattuso Pirlo Ambrosini
Seedorf
Ronaldo Inzaghi
And here's Gazzetta's:
Dida
Cafu Nesta Kaladze Favalli
Gattuso Pirlo Ambrosini
Seedorf
Ronaldo Inzaghi
Now I'm really sad. The first time Milan plays a 4-3-1-2 in ages and I won't get to see the game.
Not surprising to see Kaka omitted -- he had a hella long flight from the Brazil qualifiers and there are big games coming up. I suspect Maldini is being rested for the CL game and/or the Juve game right after.
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 23 2007, 07:53 PM
Dida
Cafu Nesta Kaladze Favalli
Gattuso Pirlo Ambrosini
Seedorf
Ronaldo Inzaghi
That's what I reckon.
Posted by: han2503 Nov 23 2007, 08:17 PM
Ronaldo probably will only bay about 60-75 minutes. Then I expect Yoann to replace him and we play with the xmas tree, since Kaka probably won't even travel with the team
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Nov 24 2007, 06:39 AM
Gourcuff replacing R99 I don't think so. If by the time Ron comes off, we're comfortably ahead, Brocchi will come on, and Ambro will play striker.
Posted by: dst Nov 24 2007, 10:36 AM
I think Gourcuff might start... or maybe it's only a hope.
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 24 2007, 01:46 PM
CALLED-UP PLAYERS
GOALKEEPERS: Dida, Fiori, Kalac
DEFENDERS: Bonera, Cafu, Digao, Favalli, Maldini, Nesta, Oddo, Serginho

ATTACKERS: Aubameyang, Gilardino, Kakà , Inzaghi, Ronaldo

--Cafu--------Nesta------Maldini-------Sergio--
--------------------------Pirlo---------------------
--------------Gattuso------------Ambro----------
-----------------------Kaka----------------------
---------------Pippo-----------R99--------------
Posted by: kurtsimonw Nov 24 2007, 01:57 PM
Looks a very strong squad!
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 24 2007, 01:59 PM
btw wat's wrong with Seedorf? international duty?
Posted by: Tennie Nov 24 2007, 02:11 PM
Yep, probably, Ari. He did come home early from international duty though -- didn't play the last Netherlands game.
I think Il Capitano will be rested for this one (or will only play a very few minutes). There's a CL game on Wednesday. I also think Oddo may play. He did rather well during the Italy game on Wednesday.
Posted by: Tennie Nov 24 2007, 04:55 PM
(from acmilan.com's italian page)http://www.acmilan.com/NewsDetail.aspx?idNews=56846
Here's part of what Carletto said in today's press conference:
[Cagliari has changed coaches and we're not sure how they'll play. It'll be a complicated game but we've worked well and should get a result. Sonetti has a lot of experience and is a very determined man who will help Cagliari. Foggia? He's a player who was brought up in our youth team but found little space. Ronaldo will play from the beginning, he's well and will finally start to give his contribution. We expect from him the same as he gave last year. He more than everyone has a great will to play. Seedorf twisted his ankle in training, and Kaladze and Simic only returned yesterday and are especially tired, they're working with an eye toward Wednesday. Seedorf didn't play Wednesday with his national team and was doing well; the injury is unfortunate. Kaka will be called under extraordinary circumstances. In any case Kaka would be called up to cover for Seedorf's absence, and probably would've been on the bench tomorrow; now he'll start. (nb, I'm a little confused by this part of the passage and I think I'm accurate in translating that Kaka will start, but I could have messed it up) Inzaghi has a fever and Gilardino will start with Ronaldo. The only doubts are the outside backs. We want to do well in the league and do our best form now to Christmas. We should earn as many points as possible and it won't be easy. ]
Il Cagliari ha cambiato allenatore e noi non conosciamo bene il volto di questa squadra. Sarà certamente una sfida complicata, ma noi abbiamo lavorato bene e possiamo farcela. Sonetti ha grande esperienza, è un uomo molto determinato che darà certamente la sua impronta al Cagliari. Foggia? Lui è un giocatore che predilige le fasce, nel nostro sistema di gioco ha trovato poco spazio. Ronaldo giocherà dall'inizio, sta bene, e finalmente inizierà a dare il suo contributo. Ci aspettiamo da lui quello che ha dato l'anno scorso. Lui più di tutti ha una grande voglia di giocare. Seedorf ha preso un colpo in allenamento, gli si è girata la caviglia, mentre Kaladze e Simic sono rientrati solo ieri e sono particolarmente stanchi, lavoreranno in vista di mercoledì. Seedorf non aveva giocato mercoledì con la Nazionale e stava bene, è un peccato, Kakà sarà chiamato ad ulteriori straordinari. In ogni caso Kakà sarebbe stato convocato comunque a prescindere dall'assenza di Seedorf, probabilmente sarebbe partito dalla panchina mentre domani giocherà dall'inizio. Inzaghi ha avuto un po' di febbre questa notte e dunque con Ronaldo partirà Gilardino. Gli unici dubbi che mi rimangono per la formazione sono legati ai due terzini. In Campionato vogliamo fare bene e migliorare le nostre prestazioni da qui alla vigilia di Natale. Dobbiamo fare più punti possibile e non sarà facile.
Posted by: Darunia Nov 24 2007, 06:28 PM
Hopefully Kaka can get some time off in the second half... with Gourcuff comin on. You know Ronaldo won't play the whole game so I could see Gourcuff coming on playing alongside kaka too.
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Nov 24 2007, 07:22 PM
GOALKEEPERS: Dida, Fiori, Kalac
DEFENDERS: Bonera, Cafu, Digao, Favalli, Maldini, Nesta, Oddo, Serginho

Let's Gooo if you dint know it's ronaldo who plays in the supporting role and not gila
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Nov 24 2007, 09:37 PM
Well I dunno. Lately Gila does drift back in deep nowadays. He's done it earlier in the away games.
In any case, Ronaldo is not really a support striker. They should probably be put alongside each other. In the traditional way.
Ronaldo---------Gila
Posted by: dst Nov 24 2007, 09:56 PM
D'oh....
---Ron -Gila- aldo---
Posted by: han2503 Nov 24 2007, 10:52 PM
Well of course that would happen, I have been rather surprised that they weren't listing him as a striker as well before Ronaldo came back It's probably the latter
--Cafu--------Nesta------Maldini-------Sergio--
--------------------------Pirlo---------------------
--------------Gattuso------------Ambro----------
-----------------------Kaka----------------------
---------------Pippo-----------R99--------------
Almost 99.9% sure that would be the starting line up. Maybe Bonera might start in central defense since Paolo might be rested for midweek CL game
Sprained ankle I think
Oddo was great with Italy, he started this season on great form as well but wasn't playing so well before he got that injury, maybe he only just needed a bit of rest since he was practically playing every minute of every game we were playing
In any case, Ronaldo is not really a support striker. They should probably be put alongside each other. In the traditional way.
Ronaldo---------Gila
Ronaldo is origanally a supporting striker and can still play in that role, but I don't think he can handle it as well as before because of his physical issues, at least not as consistantly. His effectiveness didn't get effected by this because he's just as much a great finisher as any box striker
---Ron -Gila- aldo---Â

Ronaldo---------Gila
ya he might drop back when he plays with inzaghi or by himself but when ronaldo is on the field he'll do the dropping back if not they'll play along each like you said.
Posted by: amancik Nov 25 2007, 12:44 AM
everyone wants Ronaldo to play in this match
but let's not forget the points are what matters most
personally, I don't care about the line-up, all I want is a win, but it wouldn't hurt to see Ronaldo on the scoresheet
Forza Milan
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Nov 25 2007, 09:12 AM
Ronaldo makes his debut in Sardinia, so Cagliari Coach Nedo Sonetti hatches a cunning plan to tame the Milan star.
“Will we construct a tactical cage to limit him? No, we’ve got a real one we’re borrowing from the circus,†joked the boss.
“The truth is that against a world class player like this there is very little one can do. If he is in good shape, Ronaldo is one of the best on the planet.â€
It will also be a debut for Sonetti, who returns to the Sardinian bench after replacing the sacked Marco Giampaolo.
“I am very excited, but also concentrated on a difficult game. In any case, we will try to stop Milan. My tactics have not changed, so a four-man defence with a midfield of three if not four players.
“It all depends on Pasquale Foggia, but there are always three attacking players to move forward. I want to see a courageous team with real character.â€
Foggia is expected to start in ‘the hole’ behind Alessandro Matri and Under-21 international Robert Acquafresca.
Cagliari-Milan is the live game on Five, coverage begins at 13.30.
Football Italia
I think our defense will be on top form to stop their attempts.
Plus, I doubt Cagliari can contain Ronaldo, he is too dynaimic a player for them to handle, unless they double up on him .. Which is good, as it would open up spaces for Kaka' and gila would have more chances
Posted by: zdrossoneri Nov 25 2007, 09:44 AM
Wish we could always play with two strikers... but when we got only 3 strikers, one of them is out with injury most of times and the other two cannot perform with each other, that's an impossible dream. of course until January, when the Duck's season is about to begin
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 12:01 PM
That's why it never works when Gila and Inzghi play together. Gila is not a supporting striker so he can't do what that role entails from him. He tried last season when he was being constantly played in that position with Pippo but it never worked
Posted by: aLbErTo Nov 25 2007, 01:13 PM
i think that bonera could play this game insted of maldini...
gattuso - pirlo - ambro
kaka
ronaldo - gila
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 25 2007, 02:06 PM
official line-up:
Dida;
Oddo, Nesta, Maldini, Serginho;
Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini;
Kakà ;
Ronaldo, Gilardino.
Posted by: fresh_prince7 Nov 25 2007, 02:37 PM
Thats a nice lineup.
And HE'S BACK!
Will he score one for us in his first game ari..
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 25 2007, 02:39 PM
it's really hard to predict how he'll perform in this match... he might not do as good as everyone expects him to as it's his first match in quite some time.
anyways i'm hoping for 1 goal from him
FORZA MILAN!!!
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 25 2007, 02:59 PM

a minute silence...

Game just about to start. A minute of silence before the KO
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Nov 25 2007, 03:03 PM
han u got to stop stealing ari's lines. God knows the boy struggles to come up with something on his own, if it's not got to do with R99.
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 03:03 PM
Ronnie fouled after nutmegging Cagliari player
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 03:04 PM

Did acquafresca just score???

Goal for Cagliari
Posted by: LaPalma Nov 25 2007, 03:05 PM
Great start.... 
Posted by: Jack Sparrow Nov 25 2007, 03:06 PM
So whose fault was it?
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 03:07 PM
Goal seems to have woken us up
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 03:14 PM
We don't have enough movement when we're in possession
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 03:24 PM
Ball headded of the line!!!!
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 03:24 PM
Gila with a great flicked headder
Posted by: LaPalma Nov 25 2007, 03:27 PM
OMG...we're playing really awfull.
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 03:35 PM
Finally putting some decent pressure on them
Posted by: fresh_prince7 Nov 25 2007, 03:37 PM
So wats happening? Is it just a static game?
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 03:38 PM
Great move from Ronaldo. Shot just blocked
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 03:41 PM
Mostly. We've only managed to put pressure on them a couple of times. They have parked a bus infront of their goal and will only hack the ball clear and try to create a counter out of it.
Tempo fairly slow also
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 03:42 PM
Rino yellow
Posted by: fresh_prince7 Nov 25 2007, 03:42 PM
Cheers Han.
Same old story, maybe a big 2nd half like we've been having recently..
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 03:44 PM
Ronaldo wins a penalty
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 03:46 PM
Kaka misses!!!!
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 25 2007, 03:47 PM
miss! well it was about time, when was the last time he missed... he took it beautifully but unlucky..
Roni
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 25 2007, 03:48 PM
HT.
Posted by: redbabies Nov 25 2007, 03:59 PM
Why Kaka keep on taking the penalties, while we all know that he has missed 3 so far this season, and even when he scores he doesn't convince me.
Pirlo or Ronaldo would be great penalty takers.
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 03:59 PM
Pretty terrible first half.
Cagliari hav just shut shop and we have no idea how to break them down.
We keep trying to build slowly from the middle when it's clearly not working
Posted by: Nova Nov 25 2007, 04:03 PM
Milan is not playing good at all.
I hope we can have a different Milan during 2nd half
Forza Milan !
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 04:05 PM
2nd half about to start, let's hope it's better than the 1st
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 25 2007, 04:05 PM
Pirlo or Ronaldo would be great penalty takers.
when was that?
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 04:06 PM
I think he meant to say last season?
Posted by: fresh_prince7 Nov 25 2007, 04:07 PM
I think kaka' been pretty good from the spot for milan. Only missed a few times, I think 3 or 4 all up. When he has missed been good saves.
Is the audio on milan site working?
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 04:08 PM
Don't think so.
Cagliari almost just scored
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 04:12 PM
oooo!!!
Ronaldo against the post
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 25 2007, 04:13 PM
warming up for suicide.
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 04:15 PM
Sergio playing much better this half
Posted by: I_Rossoneri Nov 25 2007, 04:16 PM
That was just comical
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 04:18 PM
Bonera on for Ambro
We need an attacking push and he puts on enother defender
Anyway, sergio being pushed up in midfield now
Posted by: arivanjj Nov 25 2007, 04:18 PM
good long shot from Sergio just wide
Posted by: I_Rossoneri Nov 25 2007, 04:19 PM

Posted by: Darunia Nov 25 2007, 04:25 PM
Milan basically playing 3 at the back now , Maldini-Nesta-Bonera while Serginho/Oddo are pushing up into midfield

Posted by: Darunia Nov 25 2007, 04:39 PM
Can't get touch of the ball lately, Milan is just trying to push up thru Cafu and Serginho... hope R9 can handle 90 minutes.
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 04:40 PM
Yeah hasn'r really gotten into the game

What about the one against benfica jack. Unless you mean in serie a, then you would be correct.

FT: 1-2
Great result, now we need to close the CL up against Benfica on Wednesday and start focusing on Juve, to finally start to make that climb up the table

Ok...now I need ratings and highlights. Downloadable please!!
To work, u lazy bums, you've all enjoyed your international break. Time to earn your keep.
And drag the greek off his linear algebra text book chop-chop. I want my ratings.
10ster linguist extraordinaire...your move...bring in datasport.
And somebody please sell Kaka. Useless Brazillian kid. Doesn't sell shirts, doesn't score penalties...bah! He even takes forever to win the golden ball!

Carlo was tacitically sound tonight !
And what a performance from Milan, always tried to keep possesion and create chances. And it was good to see Ronaldo back, as well as gila scoring
My ratings:
Dida 7 He stopped their attempts on several occasions.
Oddo 6 He was the reason why we conceded, wasn't challenging for the jump.
Nesta 7 I think a 7 is an average performance from the man
Maldini 9 He kept any threat coming from his side of the pitch at bay.
Serginho 7 he still needs time, though he gave us that width and crossing
Ringo 8 he was all over the pitch
Pirlo 9 a class of his own
Ambro 7 did well to difuse their attempts and took charge of the left flank at times.
Kaka' 7 he wasn't 100% ready. Plus, he missed Seedorf.
Ronaldo 5 It was good that he got a full 90 minutes out on the pitch, but he needs more time.
Gila 8 Though his goal was lucky, his movement was clear throughout the 90 mins.
Bonera 8 decisive.
Cafu 6 lacked match fitness
Broochi N/A

Did you watch the game, R7? IMO not one player deserved more than 7.
Posted by: Nova Nov 25 2007, 05:33 PM
what is happening , i am actually agreeing with you
This was a very bad game for Milan.
A 7 for Maldini . But kaka was the worst of the whole bunch. IMO
Posted by: mishie Nov 25 2007, 05:36 PM
disjointed, lethargic and unconvincing.
the space between the front 2 and the midfield was far to much,Kaka's efforts for brazil was obviously to much for this game. Gila had a good game and Ronaldo is far from match fit but things will come

Here are some rating these are especially for you Jack
Dida: 7.5 - Very secure, couldn't do anything about the goal. But is being steady again especially on set pieces.
Oddo: 5.5 - Didn't do much, didn't go up his flank as much as we'de like him to and didn't keep his side clear, Although Rino did leave him isolated most of the time.
Nesta: 8 - He was amazing today, nothing went past him. Players tried to go through, he would come across and it's like running into a wall. Getting back to his best
Paolo: 8 - Still has that sprint to him to outrun players half his age. Pure elegance both while defending and just easing players off the ball and going forward.
Sergio: 6.5 - Was pretty bad in the first half, he didn't seem like he had the confidence to go forward. But came out looking sharper in the second half, making runs and crosses down the flanks and cutting inside just as dangerously
Ambro: 7 - Unlike in his last game he was very steady today and didn't put a foot wrong.
Pirlo: 8.5 - Amazing goal and some neat play to go along with it. He was going a lot more forward in the second half but also defended really well. Cleaning up balls from defence and creating attacks with accurate passes. Great display from Pirlo today, this is what we want to see from him.
Rino: 6.5 - Did his usual job, but at time, as previously mentioned he left Oddo isolated to deal with the winger and fullback all on his own because he kept drifting more to the centre of the pitch then he usually does.
Kaka: 6 - Really quite game, and could have done better with that penalty, let's hope he's saving the goods for Benfica and Juve.
Ronaldo: 6.5 - Still getting into his stride, but there were moments when he got the ball and you could see pure genius from him. The shot that struck the post was beutifully taken with the inside of his boot. Just needs a couple more games to get becak to 100% and then we'll see what he can really do.
Gila: 7.5 - Great goal, almost scored another in the first half but was cleared off the line and won the free-kick that got us the winner. Made great movement all throughout the game and help up the ball very well. He really seems to be coming into his own this season, hopefully he keeps it up. His goal was pricless today, especially at the time it came in.
Subs
Cafu: 5.5 - Didn't do much but tried to go up his flank as much as he could in the limited time he had to play.
Bonera: 9 - Just for the amazing goal line clearance he made, he gets a 9. Never seen anything like it, the speed at which the ball was coming in and Bonera just managing to get there and clearing it so well with his weaker foot. It was amazing. Other then that, it was a very solid performance no mistakes, did his job perfectly. He is another one that is coming into his own and hopefully we'll see more of him this season.
Brocchi: N/A - But from the little I saw he seems to be in good shape, made some nice tackles and looked good going forward
Carlo: 8 - Have to say, the big man did really well today. Made his changes at a good time (even though they were forced) and changed things up a bit to win the game.
As for the performace of the team in general, it wasn't that good. First half was really bad, no direction, no ideas, kept trying to do the same thing over and over again when it clearly wasn't working. The second half wasn't a total turnaround like against Samp and we didn't blitz Cagliari away, but it was a determined performance and we did what we had to do to get the 3 points.
Hopefully it's just because the team is adjusting back into the different formation now that we are playing with 2 stikers again and we'll fine tune it more in the upcoming games before we go to Tokyo

I thought we played reasonably well, considering they were playing with 6 defenders for most of the game.
My ratings -
Dida: 6.5
Oddo: 6
Nesta: 6.5
Maldini: 7
Serginho: 6.5
Pirlo: 7
Gattuso: 6
Ambro: 6
Kaka: 6
Gila: 6.5
Ronnie: 6
We really need a win in Benfica to ensure qualification early - we've got a busy month coming up!
Posted by: mishie Nov 25 2007, 05:40 PM
thought Gila looked so much better with someone up top with him he made some good moves as han said and looks to have his 1st touch back!
Posted by: han2503 Nov 25 2007, 05:44 PM
I've always said that Gila plays much better when he has someone to play off of.

They are more like what the ratings should be
although IMO Oddo should have a 5 as he was awful today.
Posted by: bigmacmtl Nov 25 2007, 06:02 PM
dida, the ball i sent in the 6 yard box and he sits there in no mans land and the ball goes thru him
Posted by: kaka_sheva Nov 25 2007, 06:04 PM
you wait till hanna reads that!!
i'd rather not have him become beckham. and he scores plenty of penalties... err just not today
.
Posted by: bigmacmtl Nov 25 2007, 06:04 PM
ahhh sh1t i just saw the first half... i dint know it was on delay.... now i know the result.
Posted by: whoarethepatriots Nov 25 2007, 06:20 PM
The turning point in that game was the switch to the 3-4-1-2. That added width which we have desperately lacked, and we managed to salvage the game. This tactic should have been employed earlier on in the season to be honest. Its more effective than playing Ambrosini up front anyway
Posted by: HasanHasanly Nov 25 2007, 06:23 PM
damn missed this one any highlights please?
Posted by: Rossoneri7 Nov 25 2007, 06:26 PM
Well what else do I have to do
hmm, yeah, I guess I'm just generous, plus the come back does things to u
Posted by: amancik Nov 25 2007, 06:41 PM
It wasn't a good game by Milan
I thought it was gonna be a draw, only miracle could win us the game
And Pirlo did just that ...
The worst player of Milan today was Oddo
The best was Pirlo and Serginho although Pirlo didn't do much except the free-kick
Gilardino looked more assured and confident playing alongside another striker like Ronaldo
Ronaldo did pretty okay, he was unlucky to not score only managing to hit the right post with a decent shot
But it's the result that's important ...
I kinda have a feeling that we might actually give Juve a hardtime next week ...
Forza Milan!
Posted by: amancik Nov 25 2007, 07:06 PM
owh yeah I must point out former Milan player, Foggia really troubled our defence today
aside from the free-kick, Cafu produced something you don't see in every match ...
everyone who didn't watch the game, must get the highlights
Posted by: aLbErTo Nov 25 2007, 07:22 PM
anyone has highlights???

I dont think so, Oddo was getting forward as much as possible to assist the forwards. Him and Serginho were key

That was fast .. Thanx

tnx...i think i've seen better fk's from pirlo, but still it was awesome...
Posted by: Portikins Nov 25 2007, 11:36 PM
We won. We got the most important thing: the 3 points. But we were mediocre.
Too old, too slow, too predictable. We were lucky with the result.
PS: Bench the useless Ambrosini. I'm tired of watching Milan playing with 10 men...
Posted by: I_Rossoneri Nov 26 2007, 07:59 PM
Trouble is that would mean playing the equally poor Brocchi
Posted by: dst Nov 26 2007, 10:22 PM
Ambrosini is not useless. He's a DMF with no attacking abilities, just like Gattuso... and it's not Ambro's fault that Carlo keeps fielding them both! We expect from him do to more than he is able to do while in my view,he's not worse than Rino!
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Nov 26 2007, 11:34 PM
That's just wrong thinking. He is our captain when Maldini is out, and in many occasions he is very usefull. Your rethorics considering Ambrosini is just too harsh.
Posted by: han2503 Nov 27 2007, 04:35 PM
Brocchi didn't look that bad when he came on in the game, but that is besides the point since I completely agree with you, and most of us here know that the 2 defensive mids are not required in Serie A
Exactly, Rino looks better because he runs around more and creates more drama. That little slap was priceless
Rino is great entertainment you have to admit that
