Alrighty then, things return to normal as far as match threads are concerned. 
Stats, images, match details, the whole package, blah, blah. I promised Locke that I'll open the Chievo thread, and here it is ladies and gentlemen in all it's glory. We take on the Flying Donkeys (who are really flying high after a spirited 3-3 draw against Juventus in their last match) at their home battleground. On paper we should win, without much heartache seeing as our opponents are still in 16th place as of going to press, but I'd be very wary of those little spirited yellow-and-blue warriors if I were you. 
The man to look out for? Senior Sergio Pellissier with 9 goals and 1 assist in the league. Here's a view of the field of battle, who they share with their partners in crime, FC Hellas Verona:
Anyhoo, as usual, time for some stats between the two clubs, current rankings, head to head, top scorers, etc.
Date: Saturday, 11 April, 2009
Time: 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm GMT
Place: Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi (Verona)
Capacity: 39,211
Oh, and a quick note for our friendly-neighborhood Locke, who has a special place in his heart for Chievo: You can be assured of two pitchers of (virtual) beer if Milan wins. One if we draw. Ha!
Forza Milan! 
As usual.

3-0 easy win. Chievo pose us no threat. Another week and a fitter Kaka plus players will be getting the desired chance to work this week to improve fitness.
Line up:
Dida-Zambro-Maldini-Senderos-Janku-Becks-Pirlo-Flamini-Kaka-Inzaghi-Pato
I think if carlo goes with this and Kaka gets back to his regular self, we'll destroy them. 3-0 milan.
Posted by: Tennie Apr 6 2009, 06:52 PM
I don't underestimate the Donkeys. They took it to the Gobbi at the Olimpico yesterday, getting a 3-3 draw. Won't be a cakewalk, and Pelissier is in very good form at the moment.
Posted by: MizNelson Apr 6 2009, 06:54 PM
I can't see a 3-0 romp, especially since Pellissier put three past Gigi yesterday.
Chievo are surprisingly fourth in the points standings for this second half of the season.
Posted by: whoarethepatriots Apr 6 2009, 06:58 PM
Chievo are hardcore, too hardcore for our defence and maybe too hardcore for the Milan. I wouldnt be very optimistic, unless Senderos pulls out some of that famous magic again
Posted by: il_diavolo_mtl Apr 6 2009, 07:18 PM
2-2 Draw Pellissier, Pato, Italiano (pen), Pato
Posted by: acid911 Apr 6 2009, 07:36 PM
Ah, so one beer it is then, huh, Locke, after all? 
If it's a draw, I hope it's 0-0. A hard-fought one, while at it. Of course, a win would be preferable, but I want our defense to hold strong, once in a blue-moon.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 6 2009, 07:59 PM
Easy win, easy win,...
Dinho and Sheva making another step forward...
Posted by: mishie Apr 6 2009, 08:53 PM
A tough game this one as mentioned above they will be bouyed by the draw with the Gobbi. I predict a narrow win by the odd goal 0-1
Forza Milan!
Posted by: Ry4n Apr 6 2009, 09:39 PM
Heya !
Tough game i see them scoring first for some reason but a fight back 1-2 Win Pato and Kaka' to score !!
Posted by: MizNelson Apr 6 2009, 10:47 PM
Yesterday marked our first consecutive clean sheets since way back in October (four). I wouldn't mind seeing that continued this Saturday.
Posted by: dst Apr 6 2009, 10:51 PM
Ah the flying donkeys... we've got a flying Dutchman. Only he's not flying anymore and he's not really Dutch. He sure is a donkey though.
Posted by: MizNelson Apr 6 2009, 11:03 PM
Nice.

Forza Seedorf!

It's just the 'dst' brand that makes each post of his funny. Forza Seedorf!couldn't agree more...
Milanisti should give some respect, for what he has done for us, for his great attitude taking this pressure...
it's pityful when i saw his face & reaction when subtituted,
also for sheva, hope this good moment continue...

I was pulling dst's leg. But I do agree that when it comes to respect, besides Paolo Maldini our 'respect' is a very 'short term' thing.

His attitude sure is not great. It's true, I am being disrespectful towards him but no more than he is to the team and the fans. No not me, **** me I'm just a guy watching the games from his house but there are people who go the stadium and pay to see their team put an effort and that he certainly does not do.
I do respect what he's done for us but he's not in that exclusive league of players who I would never criticize. Not even close to joining it. Am I acting like a *****? Yeah. Am I unfair? I don't think so.
I was pulling dst's leg. But I do agree that when it comes to respect, besides Paolo Maldini our 'respect' is a very 'short term' thing.You're taking about God and a bunch of humans there, of course it's different.

Standard training (warmups, exercises, practice game) today. Pippo, Il Capitano, and Seedorf trained separately. Arrigo Sacchi was present during training today.
Posted by: Bluesummers Apr 8 2009, 03:06 AM
Juventus' defence was absolute sh!te. As long as players like mellberg and Grygera are playing what do you expect? I mean I doubt even Casillas or Cesar would have been able to keep a clean sheet.
If our defence dont blunder, than chievo are as dangerous as lecce.
----
In all honesty I hope chievo come attacking us because with a (hopefully) fit kaka and pato, they will pay dearly when we go on the counter.
Mid should be becks,pirlo,flamini and we should use kaka and pato as AM, with pippo pushing the defence further up. That will enable us to hit them on the counter with blistering pace.
Posted by: Bluesummers Apr 8 2009, 03:07 AM
Why does he no longer coach? I mean if Rijkaard is a candidate, shouldn't he be a choice as well?
Posted by: Tennie Apr 8 2009, 03:09 AM
Chievo are probably the most in-form team in the league. I don't underestimate them; it won't be an easy game. The Gobbi game at the weekend wasn't a one-off.
Arrigo Sacchi is no longer coaching because he has a heart condition.
Posted by: Bluesummers Apr 8 2009, 03:12 AM
Arrigo Sacchi is no longer coaching because he has a heart condition.
What happened? So hes retired permanently then?

Great attitude? You mean the same Seedorf who plays most of the time like he's sitting in a chaise lounge sipping a lemonade, and then pouts like a little kid when he's substituted prematurely? Please don't talk about respect when guys like Dida have more work ethic in their pinky finger than Seedorf has in his whole body, and yet are constantly razzed for whatever reason.
Posted by: Zed.D Apr 8 2009, 07:46 AM
This I agree with!
Posted by: Ry4n Apr 8 2009, 10:50 AM
Yeah
Posted by: Tennie Apr 8 2009, 01:10 PM
So, double training session today. The morning session was all individual work. Il Capitano trained in the gym.
Posted by: Tennie Apr 9 2009, 11:38 AM
Saccani will be the ref for this game.
Posted by: Tennie Apr 9 2009, 01:42 PM
Here's Gazzetta's probable lineup:
Dida
Zambrotta Favalli Senderos Jankulovski
Beckham Pirlo Seedorf
Kakà
Pato Inzaghi
Posted by: han2503 Apr 9 2009, 02:54 PM
Dida
Zambrotta Favalli Senderos Jankulovski
Beckham Pirlo Seedorf
Kakà
Pato Inzaghi
It has to be either Becks or Seedorf, atm I think Beckham would be the better choice. And personally I would like to see Dinho starting, but in who's place I'm not sure
Posted by: kizo Apr 9 2009, 03:46 PM
What if we tried something like this
---------------Pirlo--------Flamini------------
-------------Kaka-----------------R10--------
---------------Pato----------Pippo------------
I think Carlo will start 4-3-1-2
but i think he should consider this formation if first half ends with draw
Posted by: Bluesummers Apr 10 2009, 02:08 AM
Hmm flamini benched? Quite possible. But if we are to have any chance to win, seedorf must not play.
Posted by: kizo Apr 10 2009, 02:36 PM
MILANELLO - Questi i 20 convocati dal tecnico Carlo Ancelotti per la sfida di domani contro il Chievo:
Dida, Kalac, Perucchini, Antonini, Darmian, Favalli, Jankulovski, Mattioni, Senderos, Zambrotta, Ambrosini, Beckham, Flamini, Pirlo, Inzaghi, Kakà, Pato, Seedorf, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho.
Paolo out, this means Favster-Senderos in centre 
( 
Good to see Mattioni there
Posted by: Tennie Apr 10 2009, 02:37 PM
Call ups:
Dida, Kalac, Perucchini
Antonini, Darmian, Favalli, Jankulovski, Mattioni, Senderos, Zambrotta
Ambrosini, Beckham, Flamini, Pirlo
Inzaghi, Kakà, Pato, Seedorf, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho
Posted by: vahid Apr 10 2009, 04:12 PM
Dida, Kalac, Perucchini
Antonini, Darmian, Favalli, Jankulovski, Mattioni, Senderos, Zambrotta
Ambrosini, Beckham, Flamini, Pirlo
Inzaghi, Kakà, Pato, Seedorf, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho
Maybe without Bonera, Kaladze, Maldini and Nesta at last we can see Darmian on the field.
Posted by: han2503 Apr 10 2009, 05:08 PM
Oh sorry, you were serious? That's never gonna happen
Unless you're nearing 40 and/or playing like sh!t, you don't get a chance to play in Carlo's Milan
Posted by: Tennie Apr 10 2009, 05:10 PM
I'm sure Iross will be crushed that Emerson wasn't called up for this one.
Posted by: han2503 Apr 10 2009, 05:15 PM
He won't have the strength to get out of bed until next weekend when again he will hope to see a glimpse of Emerson, his guiding light
Posted by: vnata001 Apr 10 2009, 06:45 PM
with his goal for ukraine, the assist to inzaghi, and the sign from the curva stating "Ancelotti, respect Shevchenko", could we maybe see Shev work his way back into good graces? i'm for it.
i want to see clarence start on the bench, with dinho starting. if dinho plays great, reward him. If not, bring clarence on and see what kind of stuff he's made of, and if he is actually going to step up and play well. Also, if pippo is impotent up front, bring on shev. i've just had this feeling all season long that if he was actually given a 3 game grace period he would have been back and scoring. but sadly he's played about as much as cardaccio this year.
Posted by: whoarethepatriots Apr 11 2009, 03:04 AM
Its interesting that we only have four fit midfielders, yet Carlo didnt call up any Primavera players to fill the holes like in GK and DF
Posted by: Tennie Apr 11 2009, 04:16 AM
Well, the call up list also counts Seedorf, Ronaldinho and Kaka as 'strikers'.
Rumor has it that Seedorf may not play.
Posted by: Bluesummers Apr 11 2009, 04:57 AM
Rumor has it that Seedorf may not play.
I love rumors like that. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

Hey guys & girls got my new sig , hope you like !! my bro made it for me !
Posted by: Zed.D Apr 11 2009, 01:20 PM
Milan: Dida; Zambrotta, Senderos, Favalli, Jankulovski; Pato, Ambrosini, Pirlo, Seedorf; Kakà; Inzaghi.
What is this? is this a new formation, a 4-4-2? Pato a midfielder?
Posted by: arivanjj Apr 11 2009, 01:29 PM
turtle and carlo made love last night

I think they made some mistake, that will probably translate to 4-3-1-2 on the field
Posted by: Zed.D Apr 11 2009, 01:53 PM
Quite possible. it's acmilan.com after all.
Posted by: Bluesummers Apr 11 2009, 01:55 PM
why is ambro playing? If becks isn't going to play then flamini should be playing not ambro. Sighhh carlo strikes again...
Posted by: elcordobez Apr 11 2009, 01:58 PM

WOW
that looks incredibly weak defensively
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 02:08 PM
Bring Seedorf off already! No seriously.
By the way this is the first the minute of silence in Serie A has been completely silent...
Pelissier almost.
Posted by: arivanjj Apr 11 2009, 02:09 PM
4 min, Lazio 2 - 0 Roma... hehe
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 02:09 PM
Seedorf!!!
He is terribl!! He keeps passing the ball back to chievo
Posted by: elcordobez Apr 11 2009, 02:11 PM
damn it i hate this midfield we looks so slugish
Posted by: Tennie Apr 11 2009, 02:13 PM
Mexes brought one back for Roma; Pazzini has scored for Samp (over Toro) and Calaio has scored for Siena (over Bologna).
Am I glad I'm not seeing the Milan game live (they're showing it on delay here)?
Posted by: Tennie Apr 11 2009, 02:14 PM
ps to Ry -- Fishdoll +1 cookie for the sig. Love it and Forza Pippo!
EDIT: PS #2: another goal for Siena. Portanova this time.
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 02:16 PM
OMG Seedorf...
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 02:20 PM

Pirlo the only highlight of our play.
Everyone else is sluggish and lazy, especially Seedorf
Posted by: Tennie Apr 11 2009, 02:26 PM
I'm glad Pirlo's doing well! (text commentary makes it hard to judge and I can't find live radio comment, darnit). Usually if he's having a good day something will eventually go right.
Bologna have pulled one back against Siena.
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 02:26 PM
Seedorf and Kaka are making only bad choices.
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 02:30 PM
Pinzi does not want Pato to have kids... the lad needs a new pair of balls...
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 02:30 PM
Oh great free-kick by Pirlo, almost got the touch by Ambro that sent it in
Posted by: Zed.D Apr 11 2009, 02:30 PM
This team, this formula, this formation, this same old lineup, etc. it's not gonna work anymore. Milan needs an overhaul to be competitive again. it's shameful for such a big club to play this level of football.
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 02:30 PM
For miz Dida also doing good so far
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 02:32 PM
Ry, really really great signature!
And well, could this Seedorf mentioning and bashing perhabs stop for a while, it's becoming patologicall and I don't think that repetition is the solution?
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 02:32 PM
Pato is being tremples out there on that left side everytime he cuts them
Posted by: arivanjj Apr 11 2009, 02:32 PM
Pato winning 98% of freekicks...
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 02:36 PM
Pathological is Ancelotti picking him week after week. Just like I'd continually speak about him doing well if he did I'll keep on saying how bad he is when he is.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 02:38 PM
I know, but it's a bit too much for my taste. He's bad and Ancelotti's stupid, let's move on.
Posted by: arivanjj Apr 11 2009, 02:39 PM
ref needs to get it together
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 02:40 PM
Carlo sent off I think
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 02:40 PM
Why the hell is Ancelotti out?
Posted by: Zed.D Apr 11 2009, 02:41 PM
Did he say "bravo" to the 4th official?
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 02:42 PM
Clear dive, deserved yellow for Kaka.
Posted by: Tennie Apr 11 2009, 02:42 PM
Um. Ancelotti sent of? Wtf did he do?
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 02:43 PM
I don't think he got one
He was pushed though and lost his balance, don't think it was a dive
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 02:43 PM
Sheva and Dinho should come on in the second half
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 02:44 PM
Kaka goes down in the area. Not a penalty but not a dive either, correct decision by the ref.
You know you say this but you don't believe it. I'm going to repeat bashing Seedorf until you actually feel this way.
Posted by: arivanjj Apr 11 2009, 02:45 PM
Pato too selfish all game..
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 02:45 PM
The fall wasn't initiated by the push, it was initiated by his legs, which Yepes didn't touch.
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 02:45 PM
Kept arguing about the distance of a free-kick
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 02:45 PM
He kept protesting about a foul on Zambrotta. He thought Yepes should have been shown a yellow. He probably should but Ancelotti made too much of it.
Posted by: arivanjj Apr 11 2009, 02:47 PM
btw i think there was a really great save earlier from Dida.. they still havent shown a replay... best chance of the match it was for Cheivo
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 02:47 PM
Sounds like something the Nicholson Joker would say. Respect.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 02:48 PM
Is this acutally the first time he got send off? Wasn't it way to harsh?
Anyway, I'll be glad to see Tassotti in charge next match.
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 02:51 PM
0-0 HT. Poor play by Milan. It's understandable that we suffer on counter-attacks with this formation but we cannot attack ourselves either... it just shows that the problem is not the formation.
I think Ronaldinho should replace Seedorf and Pato should play closer to the area not on the wing. He just keeps getting fouled there and he has no space. Unless the plan is to get their right side red carded he should play as what he is, a forward...
Yeah he touched the ball on a header and it hit the bar, that was a good save.
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 02:55 PM
Anyway, I'll be glad to see Tassotti in charge next match.
I don't think it was too harsh but it was not unjustifiable either... somewhere in the middle.
Ancelotti was not actually shown a red card (...!?) so I don't know what will happen next week.
Posted by: Ry4n Apr 11 2009, 02:58 PM

Cheers
On the match these guys are fouling alot
Posted by: elcordobez Apr 11 2009, 02:59 PM
I think on the counter attacks it's a good place to attack from but yeah he needs to get past a LOT of players before he hits the area lol...not good.
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:09 PM
SEEDFORF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful play by Milan, nice goal by Seedorf!
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:10 PM
Great awerness by Pippo to lay that off for Seedorf.
And it's so typical of him to score after the stinker he's been having
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:13 PM
OHH
What a miss by Pallissier!!!
Very lucky there
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 03:13 PM
Yet again, selfish play by Pato, what's his problem today?
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:14 PM
What are the scores in the other games? Anyone keeping tabs on them?

Flamini for Pippo
Looks like Carlo is sending the instructions by phone
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 03:16 PM
Flamini IN
Pippo OUT
Don't consider this to be a good sub.

It's too early to try and close shop, especially with this defence
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 03:17 PM
Dida's been excellent today.
I hope we'll soon see Sheva in, not Dinho, Sheva.

And another great chance for Chievo
We're going to conceed real quick at this rate
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 03:18 PM
What the hell is Jankulovski doing? This was his third mistake!
Posted by: Tennie Apr 11 2009, 03:18 PM
Pasqual just scored for Fiorentina over Cagliari. (1-0)
Lazio 2-1 Roma (Zarate & Pandev for Lazio, Mexes for Roma) Er. Make that 3-1. Lichtsteiner just scored for Lazio.
Palermo 2-0 Cugini (Balotelli and Ibrahimovic)
Siena 2 - 1 Bologna
Samp 2 - 0 Lecce (Pazzini and a Cassano penalty)
I'm at least seeing the goals realtime.
EDIT: +1 cookie to Vahid for being faster. And Lecce just pulled one back on a penalty.
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:19 PM
I would like to see both Sheva and Dinho on
Kaka and Seedorf the ones to make way
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 03:19 PM
This could easily end up 1-1 if we don't use one of the faster players to at least counter-attack them.
Posted by: Tennie Apr 11 2009, 03:21 PM
(For LaPalma - Bochum just scored on Hoffenheim and take the lead).

Come on bring someone on that can help us keep the ball!!!

Seedorf, wanting or not, is actually playing a decent match.
Posted by: acid911 Apr 11 2009, 03:25 PM
Dida's been bloody brilliant up till now. Nice reflexes all round, but saved by the offside on the free kick just now - the ball went in the net. Anyhoo, I hope we can somehow keep a clean sheet in this match as well.
Posted by: Tennie Apr 11 2009, 03:26 PM
I was making coffee when it started, but it looked like a pushing match with naughty words between Panucci and Lichtsteiner. There may have been a hand to the face by Panucci (didn't quite see). btw, Spaletti has already been sent to the stands.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 03:26 PM
It seems today we're on the same line.
Posted by: acid911 Apr 11 2009, 03:27 PM
He's been our most active player up till now.
Giving his 110% as usual, I'd say.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 03:27 PM
Watching Roma paralell, it was a harsh push and nasty words by Chris, deserved red.
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 03:29 PM
Langella coming in...he scored against us, when he played for Atalanta.
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:29 PM
Don't see that, aside from the goal all he's done is lose the ball by being slow and making bad passes
:giggle:
Yep, except for the Seedorf issue
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 03:29 PM
Seedorf or Kaka should come off for Sheva. I'd pick Seedorf because Kaka can maybe produce something in the counter-attacks.
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:29 PM
Giving his 110% as usual, I'd say.Making fatal errors that so far we've been lucky and haven't cost us
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:30 PM
Oh!!!!
Pellissier again close, Bogdani making a fool of our defenders
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 03:31 PM
What is this? I saw 6 players in red-black shirts totally dispositioned and out of range? What's happening?
One would say, Milan plays with 10 or 9 men...
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:31 PM
Seedorf looking very sluggish can't even take easy balls down.
Bring on Dinho or Sheva!!!
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 03:32 PM
Seedorf's passing was very good today, and offensive work as well, but now, let's see Sheva move in for him!
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 03:32 PM
Dinho on for Kaka. Seedorf is out of breath, he should come off!
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:32 PM
Dinho for Kaka
WTF!!!!!
Seedorf should have been the one coming off, he can't even run right now dor God's sakes!!!
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 03:33 PM
Kaka's performances ever since his comeback were all pretty bad. I wonder...
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 03:34 PM
Great Ambro pass. Pato having a bad match too.
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:34 PM
He's just nbot match fit, and is finding it hard to regain his rythem
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 03:34 PM
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:35 PM
FFS SEEDORF!!!!
Posted by: acid911 Apr 11 2009, 03:35 PM
I actually meant that he was playing his heart out. Not in terms of effectiveness!
Anyway, truth be told, I began watching the match in the 2nd half, so can't really comment other than that he was probably the one who started the attack that resulted in our goal (not sure as my stream is really breaking out).Anyway, I smell a 1-1 coming unless we start playing some real football. Last 10 minutes crucial.
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:35 PM
WHAT A SAVE BY DIDA!!!!!!!!
Posted by: aLbErTo Apr 11 2009, 03:35 PM

I sense a 1-1
And Janku making me want to tear someone's head off!!
Posted by: Tennie Apr 11 2009, 03:38 PM
It's handbags day at the Olimpico. BOTH Mexes and Matuzalem were sent off in the most recent bit and both benches were cleared. Discussion is still going on, so to speak.
Palermo have pulled one back on the cugini. goal Cavani.

Lazio-Roma turning into a warzone.
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:39 PM
Can't wait to watch the highlights for that one!!
Sheva about to come on FINALLY!!!
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 03:39 PM
Sheva on the sideline ready to come on.
We have no midfield presence right now. We're winning the ball and have no one to give it to that's why they're killing us at the back.
Posted by: han2503 Apr 11 2009, 03:40 PM
Ambro thinks this is American football
Sheva for Pato, and Seedorf somehow still on the pitch!! Unbelievable!!!
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 03:40 PM
Pato off. Bad match by the duck.
Seedorf now pulling his well-known last minutes strenght.

The day carlo leaves won't be a day too soon. His substitutions again today have been absolutely awful! Firstly he's back to swapping a forward for a DM(at 56 mins IIRC!!!!). Then he takes Ricky off for R80 while Seedorf can't run! Does he want us to lose or something????????
Posted by: Tennie Apr 11 2009, 03:45 PM
And Catania equalize very quickly.
Another goal for Siena over Bologna.
(Iross, it's Tassotti you'll have to blame for the subs. Ancelotti was sent to the stands...wasn't he?)

I didn't see carlo get sent to the stands so don't know.
Surely though even if he was sent to the stands he wil advise Tassotti what subs to make etc? Thats what usually happens.

Oo. Another goal for Bochum over Hoffenheim. LaPalma will be pleased!
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 03:54 PM
FT 0-1 we win! 
I don't think we deserved to win. Only a few players justified their presence on the field today. Dida first, Senderos and Favalli did well and Flamini was decent. The rest of them, especially Kaka, Seedorf and Pato were terrible.
Posted by: I_Rossoneri Apr 11 2009, 03:56 PM
That was another tough game to watch, still at least we managed the win. Hopefully there'll be a draw in tonights game and we could even have a chance of second place this season.
Posted by: elcordobez Apr 11 2009, 04:00 PM
Another scrappy game
Dida saved our *** a few times
we pretty much scored from our only real opportunity.
Our attack hasn't been good since Siena,that was quite a few games ago and they seriously need to get their sht together coz we have some pretty big games coming up soon.
Posted by: whoarethepatriots Apr 11 2009, 04:02 PM
Damn, i didnt realize we were playing today
Posted by: Fillipo Simone Apr 11 2009, 04:02 PM
Good match, 2 important points won from a in-form opponent.
My ratings;
Dida - MOM; did everything he could to keep his clean sheet and should be praised. (8)
Senderos - good for headers, some nice tackles as well, but bad positioning. (6)
Favalli - decent game as well, but also slight positioning errors and corner cross covering failed. (6,5)
Zamborotta - very good, solid in defense, especially good in offense in first half. (7)
Jankulovski - made some really unneccessary mistakes, left unpinished. (6)
Pirlo - good passing, usually good match. (6,5)
Seedorf - he's lost pace and strenght, but he made the decisive goal. (6,5)
Kaka - bad match; only flashes of his speed and dribble. (6)
Ambrosini - beside Zambro, best field player. Very good match. (7)
Pato - too often selfish and and indolent. One of his worst matches this season. (5,5)
Inzaghi - provided the great assist for Seedorf in a very Pippo un-like fashion. (6)
subs:
Flamini - also, a very unconfident match by Flamini, did many passes and moves wrong. (5,5)
Ronaldinho (-)
Shevchenko (-)
Ancelotti/Tassotti - not the most inspired game they made, but, still a nice win (5,5)
Posted by: acid911 Apr 11 2009, 04:02 PM
So, my thread opening record improves by one after our win now (albeit on a team that I rather like, Chievo). I knew we could always win, but seeing as this is a comparatively smaller team, I'd be lying if I said I didn't think we'd end up with a draw. Man of the moment: Dida. Some very crucial saves by him in both halves.
Oh, and as promised to Locke, two jugs of beer. Everyone else take care and stay safe. See you next match with Torino!
Posted by: whoarethepatriots Apr 11 2009, 04:05 PM
I just skim read the gazzetta mbm, and it appears that Chievo should have walked away with something from the match.
Also Ancelotti red carded! the horror!
Also yay, Inter drew! but they are still winning Lo Scudetto this season

Flamini decent? Made 2 or 3 totally wrong passes, no blocking, no cutting off, not good positioning? You really think he's done good? And you don't mention Zambrotta and Ambrosini? Hmhm,..

But the thing is how many times do u seee man u, chelsea, madrid, pool, juve, Inter (well maybe often) play this bad and win!! Why do we always play bad?

Maybe he was with Adiano
Posted by: Tennie Apr 11 2009, 04:21 PM
A belated +1 cookie to vahid for correctly identifying the Cagliari goalscorer.
I'm happy with the win (keepign in mind I won't see the game until it's shown on tape delay). Chievo have been playing remarkably well the past several weeks and I was half expecting a draw.
From the sounds of it, Dida had a great game. That's really good to hear. (Fishdoll +1 chocolate to Miz).
Tonight's game should be interesting - Gobbi-Genoa.
Posted by: dst Apr 11 2009, 04:25 PM
I meant to say Pirlo.

Posted by: vahid Apr 11 2009, 04:30 PM
Goal.com's players rating
Sardo -6.0: A battling display from the right back, who kicked anything that moved. Pato will be counting his bruises and blood scratches tonight.
Morero -7.0: Impressive performance at the heart of the Chievo defence. Matched the likes of Kaka and Pato for pace, which takes some doing.
Yepes -6.5: May have given away a penalty against Kaka but, aside from this, he did well alongside Morero.
Mantovani -6.5: Did well down the left hand side. Rarely troubled defensively, he provided the cross when Pellissier headed against the bar. Hit the bar himself in what could have been a freak own goal.
Luciano -6.5: Was bright down the right in the first half, and had a penalty appeal turned away. Something of a surprise that he was substituted on 49 minutes.
Rigoni -6.5: Helped Chievo take charge of the midfield for long spells of the game.
Marcolini -6.5: Lively in midfield, and unleashed a number of efforts at goal.
Pinzi -6.0: Fantastic pass for Pellissier's early chance. Not so involved thereafter.
Pellissier -6.5: Again a real handful, only this week he did not take his chances, squandering two fine openings.
Bogdani -6.0: Held the ball up well, and linked up with Pellissier. Did not threaten too much himself though.
Subs
Colucci 4.5: Missed two glorious chances to earn Chievo a point. The second he should have buried.
Langella -6.0: Added pace to the Chievo attack.
Esposito -N/V: No time to shine.
MILAN
Dida -9.0: Was this Dida in goal? A string of crucial stops, including an absolute wonder-save from Colucci. Hail Nelson!
Zambrotta -6.0: A little shaky defensively, and was skinned by Pellissier for one of the striker's chances.
Senderos -6.5: Did surprisingly okay, despite looking awkward. A couple of key interventions.
Favalli -6.5: Senderos and Favalli at centre back hardly inspired confidence, but they somehow kept a clean sheet.
Jankulovski -6.0: Did well in the first half, and also provided the cross for the goal, but he was lucky to get away with a terrible mistake on 61 minutes.
Ambrosini -8.0: Milan's best outfield player today. Was a real leader in the middle-of-the-park, and he fought for every ball from the first minute until the last.
Pirlo -6.0: Just when you think he is finding his form again, he puts in a performance like this. Aside from a number of free kicks, Pirlo did nothing.
Seedorf -7.0: Seedorf was having a shocker of a game, until he popped up to score the winner. This alone wins him this rating.
Kaka -5.5: Looks a shadow of the player who ruled the world in 2007. Could have won a penalty on 40 minutes but, in truth, he barely had a kick this afternoon.
Pato -7.0: Dangerous every time he received the ball, taking on opponents. Occasionally too greedy though, and the end product was missing.
Inzaghi -6.5: Made numerous runs up-front, heading wide from a corner, but the service to him wasn't the best. Nevertheless, he provided the assist for Seedorf's goal.
Subs
Flamini 6.5: Ran and ran and ran, but not too much quality.
Ronaldinho -6.0: A cameo performance from the Samba boy.
Shevchenko -N/V: Entered the fray with just minutes remaining.

Here are datasport's player ratings.
MILAN
Dida 7 Un miracolo che fa ricordare il Dida dei vecchi tempi, ma anche qualche incertezza.
Zambrotta 5.5 Troppo impreciso nei passaggi, costretto spesso a rincorrere in fase difensiva.
Favalli 7 Prestazione da professore, tieni in piedi tutta la difesa.
Jankulovski 6 Gioca male, sbaglia tanto, ma ha il merito di avviare, con la sua caparbietà, l'azione del gol vittoria.
Senderos 6 Si mette di fianco a Favalli e cerca di non commettere errori.
Flamini 6 Entra al posto di Inzaghi, si piazza sulla destra, fa il suo.
Kaka' 4.5 Troppo spento, non trova mai la giocata, non è il vero Kakà.
Ambrosini 6.5 Prestazione di sostanza, fa il mediano vecchio stampo con il solo compito di distruggere il gioco avversario.
Pirlo 6 Prova a costruire qualcosa anche se l'aggressività dei centrocampisti clivensi lo limita parecchio.
Seedorf 6 Ha il merito del gol anche se la prestazione è in linea con le sue peggiori partite. Troppo lento, perde spesso palla e sbaglia molto in fase di costruzione.
Shevchenko s.v. Meno di dieci minuti nel finale.
Inzaghi 5 Non ha tanti palloni giocabili, ma quando la sfera gli passa accanto è lento e impacciato.
Pato 6.5 Qualche bel numero, è l'unico davanti che tenta di fare qualcosa, ma i difensori del Chievo lo temono e, infatti, ogni volta che parte viene steso.
Ronaldinho 6.5 Una ventina di minuti finali di alta sapienza calcistica. Quando gli passano la palla, non la perde più, congela il gioco, fa salire la squadra e passare i minuti.

I perosnally can't understand any of these ratings
Zambro 5.5, but Janku gets a 6. Zambrotta controlled his flank clearly better then Janku did, not to mention the mistakes Janku made that could have cost us.
Ambro gets a higher rating then Pirlo does? How can that even be possible?
And Seedorf gets a 6? He deserves the same rating as Kaka did since both were pretty much terrible. Seedorf couln't even make simple first touches to get the ball under control most of the time, that's how bad he was.
As for Pato, I don't think it was a bad game per se, He was played out of position on that left wing, he kept running into brick walls and anytime he got ast his man he was brutally chopped down by the next Chievo player. But there were times that he was selfish with the ball, I think I counted 4 times where Kaka was free and could be released but Pato decided to cut through the middle instead of making the pass
Posted by: elcordobez Apr 11 2009, 06:50 PM
It's an odd game to rate with numbers,each player had their own 15 - 20mins of good football,but also made a heap of blunders.
e.g. Ambro who did nothing for the first half but positioned himself in key areas in the second half so they couldn't counter attack as swiftly as they did in the 1st half.
Could say the same for the rest of the team except for Favster! who was fairly consistent
Posted by: I_Rossoneri Apr 11 2009, 07:47 PM

Goal apart, did Seedorf actually do anything? Any other manager would have had him off at half time or earlier. He really is becoming a liability to our play and needs to go, seeing as he's carlo's b1tch he will carry on playing
As for Ambro, I can see why he got such high ratings as he was by far our best player today, he made plenty of tackles and started many counter attacks. I actually think the datasport ratings are spot on regarding the rest as well.

Their defense is worse than ours lol...
Posted by: I_Rossoneri Apr 11 2009, 09:34 PM

Genoa played well and totally deserved their win.
Anyway, with Juve drawing it means we are now only 2 points behind them, and we have to play them as well. Second place is now within our grasp and we must make sure we secure it.

Good win we grinded a good result away , next up Torino at home !!!
FORZA MILAN !!!! 
Posted by: Bluesummers Apr 12 2009, 01:11 AM
Very lucky win today, we got owned. Chievo should have had 2-3 goals.
Dida 8- Surprising game by him considering his usual';tested on several occasions and made the saves. I hope it continues.
Zambrotta 7- Looked 21 today, very good game by him.
Favalli 7- Good game
Senderos 6.5 good game.
Janku 5- Can't defend, and we all know this to be true.
Pirlo 6.5- Average game by pirlo. Passing was great.
Ambro- 5 Not a good game him by his standards. Probably still getting fit.
Seedorf- 5.5 Wow, he should not have even played. Good finish on the goal.
Kaka- 3- Clearly should have been subbed at half, he needs more time to get fit.
Pato 6- Selfish at times but he did very good earning free kicks.
Inzaghi 5- Quiet night for him other than the assist.
Flamini 6- good passing and kept things in order.
Sheva/dinho- n/a.
Carlo -4- Almost cost us the game and was stupidly sent off. Should have subbed seedorf as everyone on the pitch could tell he was done at 75th.
Posted by: gal_kenny Apr 12 2009, 01:30 AM
Why does he keep playing seedorf when he keeps playing bad..If that was Gourcuff, he won't have played at all after 1-2 bad performances..very bad..i hate Carlo...
Posted by: Bluesummers Apr 12 2009, 01:33 AM
sadly lifes not fair. Favoritism rules coaching and plagues it with disease.
Posted by: gal_kenny Apr 12 2009, 01:40 AM
Well that really sucks big time.....It really hurts cuz it affects my daily..it really does....The day Carlo goes will leave i'll be really happy!!! i tell u d truth maine!!
Posted by: MizNelson Apr 12 2009, 02:38 AM
Hi, hi, hi.
I missed the game after volunteering yesterday to work a Saturday shift (and had to fight to avoid being sent home because it was so slow). I made the most of it, though, by strategically placing some self-promotional homemade stickers right near the register. Five of eight were taken.
Why was Dida awesome today? He ditched the silly banana strip and went gray. Three straight games, zero goals. Before the Napoli match, he ditched the Chia Pet look and got a haircut for his return to Serie A. It's the little things like that that make me love him.
Posted by: Tennie Apr 12 2009, 03:23 AM
Haha. Chia Pet look. Love it. +1 cookie!

does anyone remember how far inter was ahead of roma last year before roman started coming back on them in the table?
Posted by: Zed.D Apr 12 2009, 08:25 PM
The championship was assigned in the final week, as Inter, who managed to secure even a 10-point advantage to rivals Roma in mid-season, lost almost all of it in the final weeks, maintaining only a one-point advantage with only one match to play.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serie_A_2007-08
So it was ~10 points...

As for Pato, I don't think it was a bad game per se, He was played out of position on that left wing, he kept running into brick walls and anytime he got ast his man he was brutally chopped down by the next Chievo player. But there were times that he was selfish with the ball, I think I counted 4 times where Kaka was free and could be released but Pato decided to cut through the middle instead of making the pass
i dint see the game but as soon as i saw the score i knew he was going to get an inflated rating

It's ironic about yesterday's game that the team's most hated players were the ones who saved our cans, while the fans' darlings were nowhere to be found.

Except Ambrosini of course. He is a titan whatever he does

Yeah i mean its bound to happen. At least one game a season should be saved for our less adored players to get some love.

So it was ~10 points...
that's what i thought
with the exception of last year, milan usually finishes seasons pretty strong...where inter are usually limping into the final week.
hopefully we can continue finishing this season strong.

I have hope in that Milan will finish strong .. But I have little hope in closing that 10 points gap.

Barring a Mancini style of collapse, we cannot hope to overhaul Inter. Our priority now should be overtaking Juve and getting some dignity back

Lousy ratings from goal. Mine...
Dida: 7.5
Zambrotta: 6.5
Favalli: 6.5
Senderos: 6.5
Janku: 5.5
Ambro: 6.5 (Coz of a bad first half)
Zee: 6 (Only coz of the goal)
Kaka: 5
Pirlo: 6 (He was the most creative in our entire midfield)
Pippo: 5.5 (Assist aside, not his day)
Pato: 6 (Ineffective, but they were out to kick the cr@p out of him!)
Subs:
Flamini: 5.5 (Added fresh legs, but little else)
Ronaldinho: 6 (Should have started instead of Zee/Kaka)
Sheva: 5.5 (Made movements, got into good positions, but still looked out of sync with the team)

"Dida: si ripresenta nelle sue migliori condizioni al momento più opportuno, con Abbiati ricoverato nel reparto lungodegenti. A lui va il merito di non aver fatto capricci né strepitato al momento della sostituzione continuando a fare il suo lavoro coscienziosamente e in silenzio."

Oh, if only Clarence would take a page out of his book. Hopefully he can keep his mojo going against Torino this Sunday.

Not just Clarence; a lot of people could benefit from that behavior.
(Fishdoll note: we may see how the gobbi deal with the situation as rumor has it that Del Piero is being benched for the weekend's game against the cugini).
