Well if you're playing on the wrong side of your foot, either you're a dribbler who cuts onto your strong foot..or you can cross with your weaker foot.

Antonini doesn't do either that well.

I'm not saying he should be sold, just that there are facets he needs to work on really hard, coz I don't want us to spend money on a new LB, when we can improve the one we've got.

He was right footed. He worked on his left foot to turn into a LB. Of course he is perfect, he would not be able to do that if he was not.


And again... Paolo Maldini. Well actually I did not say His name before, I just said God.

Well yeah..obviously. Few people are 'born' two-footed. But he was good with both..and Luca should be working harder is my point.

You be talkin' **** you landlubber!

I be talkin` serious sh!t though matey!

The intensity and heart Antonini plays with has totally won this fish over. Even though he ended up out of position a couple of times on Saturday, I've got to give him a major fins up. He's done really well this year and I, er, might even have given a little fishy cheer when he was first one sprinting out of the tunnel for warmups.

Agreed. I think we'll see even more improvement from him next season, he's obviously a late bloomer and just the ammount of effort he puts into each game is awesome. Not to mention the chemistry he and Dinho have...

I've always said that I expect a better player as AC Milan's LB, but I have to agree that he's a very hard working player who truly gives his all to the team. he is, as I like to put it this way, one hell of a 2nd choice LB to have. the kind of player who's young and decent, and actually adds depth to the team.

I want a(n even) better LB at Milan though. Kolarov would be cool.

Actually, people keep saying "the young Milan fullbacks" (referring to Abate and Antonini), but no-one seems to realize that Antonini will be 28 this summer.

That said, he IS our best fullback at the moment. If we sign Aogo, they should make Luca play on the right-side. He is right-footed after all.

Antonini is a 1st teamer for me. We need to bring in a RB to compliment him.

Unless we get a full back of the highest calibre in, then I think we should just rotate what we have and play in the in form players. All of them on their day are capable of putting in good performances.

I'm a big fan of Antonini personally, so I hope he still plays quite a few games next season regardless of who we sign.

I believe we're getting at least a full-back this summer, probably Aogo. In that case, we should alter Zambrotta and Abate on right and Aogo and Antonini on the left.

Antonini can play right or left, so regardless of who we sign, I don't see why he shouldn't start every game. I prefer him on the left though b/c of his Chemistry with Dinho.

THE MAN. I wish I could've seen his goal live today. I cheered while watching the youtube videos even though I already knew he scored

So, who all is in on the Antonini Fanboy club?

Me!!!

definately me

Oh me. I'm a click away from buying the guy's jersey. As soon as I get a summer job, its mine. I really think with a few signings that help us do well in the CL, Antonini could become internationally recognized.

me, i think he's really underrated. He's a pretty solid fullback.

I wish he had a left foot and could mark better.

awesome player, its ironic i fancy he more cos he's attack minded rather than his defensive work, needs to work on his clearances, i've seen him severally clear the ball only for it to land at an opponents feet at the half way line

Happy Birthday to Luca.

He is 28 now ...

Can we stop calling him a youngster, now?

Happy b-day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Luca!

This guy just oozes class. I might be getting a 77 jersey this year, I just can't help but to love this guy. If all players had his attitude, Football in general would be way better off.

I really like him as well. He might not be the best fullback in the world, but his desire and attitude really deserve applause.

He should be in the Italian NT.

Absolutely. Antonelli and Molinaro are compared to him.

-1000 cookies to Bojinov. He broke Luca's nose!

It didn't look that bad from the replays, it looked more like a slap and he caught him in the eyes...

Luckily, he has enough time to rest with the international break.

Awesome!!!

Haha,sooo funny. +100000

Hahahahahaha Gotta love it

I love it how Ibra completely ignores him.

And then Luca has to go over..and say, "Dude! I just kicked you!"....

Will be out for about 3 weeks.

Why can't you play like this every game?

Well to be fair to him he did play okay, but he was still far from spectacular.

Hopefully he can build on a few consecutively good displays, then he can generate some confidence. It will do him well.

It must still be said, that despite his above usual disappointing performance, tonight he was still one who worried me most as a liability at times.

He is just so damn clumsy & awkward...

He was good,this will create a healthy competition,always good,but Mesbah should always be a starter imo.

QFT

OMG hahaha.

yeah saw that harlem shake vid..kinda sucks

We all thought at some point that Mesbah was gonna turn out good for us. Oh how wrong we were.
