Abate. wow! can he pull this off every week?

and can Ibra NOT pull this off every week?

There was a huge hole between our strikers and our midfielders. we just couldn't get the ball to them from the middle. and our fullbacks are not that good so we couldn't for the most part get to ball to our strikers period. what we lacked tonight was 1 world class AM. end of story.



You're such a fanboy.

Flamini played a great game. He got the ball when he was carded, 100%. And it wasn;t 2 footed so...

He made one challenge that should have gotten him a yellow, but it was not the one he was carded for. Other then that he ran the midfield, especially in the first half. He made 3 so so tackles in the second half, so what? Sandro and Crouch kept man handling our players. Other then that Flamini put in a flawless performance and I only see you trying to make something out of nothing, because you can't complain about his performance so you complain about an incedent that was called harshly.

Anywhoos, had we had Pirlo and the cup-tied players in, we would have ran with it. Sadly our management didn't take the CL as seriously and only brought in players who couldn't help us out in the CL. Next year we'll do better I'm sure of it, we played the perfect away match today, Allegri stepped up. The only thing that p!ssed me off was the lazy manner in which the players continued to play in even when the cloack started ticking against us, that was totally frustrating.

Kurt, Pato did nothing wrong today aside from missing that shot, he was better then Zlatan and certainly better then Robinho who should not show his face after his misses

That was a certain yellow for me personally, so certain I'm amazed you think otherwise actually but well...


really? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Stupid talk provokes stupid response. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif)

Hater.

Don't agree with Seedorf. He is only here because we lack a better option. If we had money, he wouldn't be playing for us right now. He has certainly lost his strength and stamina. Could play for Lazio. Not here.

Abate will be one right back to look out for. You can see that he has developed over time and this is not a one off. I actually am in a bit of disbelief regarding his tactical growth. He was almost perfect in that aspect of his game.

Flamini... where to start with this guy? Did you guys see how he completely f@cked up our offside attempt in that one occasion where Crouch could have scored with his head but mismanaged the ball? Our back four in a perfect straight line in front of Crouch and Flamini is roaming around behind him with some distance like a retarded electron circling its nucleolus... And how many times did he ruin technical movements of Robinho and others with his flimsy and sometimes downright amateurish presence in wrong places? Add to this his horrendous tackles and lack of any useful offensive attribute and you have a player that needs to get as far away from Milan. He can play for Nannes or something... I don't know.

can't agree more.. both feet off ground AGAIN.. but the suspension won't really matter anyway..

It was like dying slowly...for me at least.I knew we wouldn't get a goal,but their always remained hope as we kept them at bay.We play better in the 1st half really.
Seedorf was great,this is why he should be played in games like this.

Pato was too selfish,but had a few shots on goal that troubled Gomez,and could have helped us score.

Ibra I thought he would be our power in this game,but he just wasn't up to it physically,I can count the times he lost the ball purely because he didn't enforce his physicality,a thing he was really good at.Perhaps he's too tired,surely he should rest against Bari.We need him back for other games.

Robinho,eh,I won't even bother.

Boateng seemed to be playing with his injury,it seemed to be affecting his play a bit,but he was decent.He'll be much more useful to us playing behind the strikers in the Serie A.

Flamini,still performed his bad tackles,didn't perform really well.

Thiago was flawless as usual,but Nesta didn't play well at all,don't know why...

Abate is class,he's turning into a great fullback,cheers to him!


We'll start hearing now a lot of stuff about how Italian/Serie A Football has degraded and ****,pfft.

Clearly you're a hater now, that's twice you've questioned Pato.

Clearly those shots would have gone in with a better linesman.

And this is just the start ... Bye bye magical Champions League nights (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

If Abate keeps improving, we have the RB we always wanted. Just need that LB. Of course I said the same thing about Antonini last year, but look where he is now.

Seedorf rolled it back today, wouldn't expect to see another performance like this from him ever again. This was his last hurrah.

Merkel is our future, but to think he is only 18 and still probably has 3 years before reaching anything close to his potential is astonishing.

Perhaps Strasser should've started and Boateng could've been pushed to CAM infront of Pato and Ibra.

Stop it!!!!!!!!!!! This zed-kurt debate will stop this instant!!!


@han - Flamini played good, but he has a big hole in his head. Today he made a few dirty attempts and he's just proving that he should be on the same level as Van Bommel, while Marc will always be and remain a better overall player.

Robinho? What have I told you much earlier? He's expensive but his chance wasting is just unacceptable. I'd wish we somehow could trade him for a proper AM. Kaka in his best days would have run over this Tottenham with 50% of his strenght.

And once more, a big applause to Seedorf. This may have been the final appearance of Clarence in the Champions League - his homeland. We lost, but he made a great overall performance and ended as Milan's captain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

He got the ball, didn't touch the opposing players leg, went in one footed, no yellow...

Sure he was selfish at time, but please name one of our strikers who wasn't? At that point all of them were trying to pull off something individually because they couldn't link up at all. Aside from that, he got involved, got into good positions, and aimed his shot on goal most of the time... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif)


Your assesment of Flamini is unfair. His job was to win the ball in the midfield, his offside incident I don't recall because I didn't notice it was him, as for him getting into attacking areas, well no one was making anything happen so he was pushing up to at least try to run into the box like it's been working so well in the Serie A, the time he got in Robinho's way wasn't really as bad as you're making it out to be, because we saw Robinho and Pato doing the same thing to eachother, as well as Ibra and Robinho doing just that against Juve. We seem to be lacking coherence in attack and we're suffering because of it

This.
