Stay as in, become a sort of manager for the club? Or stay as in a footballer? Because if it's the later... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/realmad.gif)

As technical director...I said Leonardo. And as a player...play him once every 2-3 weeks...he's still got it.

Clarence Seedorf maybe bad but he's perfectly good at it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) To quote Rihanna! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

No no no. This summer should be a turning event. Those who are about to leave, must, including Seedorf.

I think we (and Italian sides in general) are finding it harder and harder to play EPL and Spanish teams, especially the former. Carlo's team lost to Arsenal. Leo's lost to Man U. Allegri's lost to Spurs. anyone sees the pattern?

Italian teams need to change their playing style and adapt something similar to what all the other leagues (France, Spain, Germany, England) play. less slower/defensive, and more faster/free-floating football. it may sound stupid but I really think that's where the problem lies especially since as I mentioned before, problem with the Italian sides is NOT the lack of quality players.

Yep, it tells me they're rookie managers with no prior CL time. It's just a phase, it's not a matter o tactics if you ask me. Remember, just 10 years ago we had an all-italian finale.

But I do agree party with your concern - and I'd say this: we had Capello, Lippi, Trap, Ancelotti, etc. Nowdays, who do we have? Ranieri? Allegri? Leonardo? It isn't enough!

Did you know that Tottenham Hotspur's captain last night MICHAEL DAWSON is an anagram of SHOWED AC MILAN.

Did you know you can kiss my **** if you want to?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Haha, yeah, I was thinking about that. All in all, I wasn't too hopeful about this match anyway - not after giving away an away goal (pun always intended) in the first leg, and more importantly how we have been playing since the New Year. Oh well, now we can focus on the league, and maybe even the cup.


True. I meant before the New Year (or Christams, as you put it yourself) really, he was pretty good then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) But 200% agreed, Ibra is a man burned-out, thanks to the coach (who practically does not even sub him out after the hour mark in matches). The guy has played the most matches, touching almost 40 up till now in all competitions. Even more than Abbiati. Both Ibra and Cavani have been overworked by their respective coaches, and both have broken down it seems.

Still, my biggest gripe with last night's match was the lack of urgency on display from Milan. We were playing like we were 3-0 up, but still looking for that 4th goal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) As in, we wanted to score the goal, tried even, but the heart or speed was just not there in the build ups and attacks. I still think either of Ibra or Robinho should have come from the bench, with Pato (or best finisher, in fact only finisher with Inzaghi out) the lone man upfront, at least during the first half. Our biggest problem was service. Service from the middle. All Seedorf did (and he did it well) was just pass the ball around when it came to him. Lack of a true AM really became our demise, among other things.

The lack of urgency is something that really annoyed me, during the second half I sat leaning to the left, like when you do when playing the ps (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I just couldn't understand why they took it so easy. I understand that they wanted to keep cool heads, and not rush and end up getting punished, but that was just too relaxed when we needed to score. That is the only gripe I have about it, Allegri should have tried to make them play faster in the 2nd half

About the Spurs kid, leave it, he makes me laugh

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Give him a break, it's a big scalp for them.

Milan paid for their slow start at the San Siro - if we can't score against Spurs over two legs, we don't deserve to go through. Like a few other people have said, we're not the best team in the competition this year so being able to focus 100% on the league isn't a bad thing.

Where do Spurs go from here? Well, all the way to the CL final according to Crouchy!

QUOTE
Crouch - Spurs can beat Barca

Peter Crouch believes Tottenham can reach the Champions League final - even if they get drawn against Barcelona.

"Barcelona are the team to beat and if we drew them in the next round it would be difficult.

"But on our day at White Hart Lane and with the crowd behind us, we can beat anyone." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Apart from Milan, Sunderland, Everton, Arsenal, Wigan. This team nearly got knocked out by Young Boys.

Getting above themselves a little.

so... that's it, Seedorf's leaving right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) ...

I'd certainly still keep him as a rotation player.
