Favalli booked for yet another terrible tackle on Pazzini. And we complain about Pato...

Becks out, he's been bad. And look it's... an ogre? No it's Emerson!! YEAH!

If he's missing because of some sort of problem Carlo has with him then this is getting beyond the beyond. He's risking our CL spot for next season because he's stubborn this guy is unbelievable

And now Emerson for Beckham!!!! With these subs you'de think we're the team that's winning not Samp.

I'm more then fead up, Carlo needs to be let go effective immediately, we shouldn't even wait till the summer

The very unofficial and nasty gossip re Ronaldinho (for what it's worth and I don't really believe it) is that he's not playing because of a drug problem. It's not been reported in anything approaching the respectable Italian press but the rumor's out there.

What's with the Ronalinho talk? Ancelotti said yesterday that "Kaka and Ronaldinho are still unavailable, and Ambrosini just joined them. We hope to recover Kaka and Ronaldinho for next Sunday."

Maybe there he was on one or two parties too much?


Only question: Why is Ronaldinho not available?

Because he picked up an injury. Why does it have to be something else? I don't get where all this is coming from.

I never liked him and look for a reason to denounce him.

Well I don't see that as a valid reason seeing as I don't think our club officials would tolerate such things, atleast I'd hope not....


Because there has been no report of an injury, he suddenly became unavailable over the weekend with no reason as to why


Exactly

Flamini with a terrible tackle! That could have been a red!

Goal

Pato

Happy for him, our only bright spot in a cloud of darkness

Pato !!

Lovely header by Pato. 2-1! The only player out there justifying his presence on the field.

Come on we can take a point!!

Nice assist from Favalli

If he's got one thing going for him is that he can actually cross a ball, unlike Janku who fires blanks

Lovely header by Pato. 2-1! The only player out there justifying his presence on the field.

Come on we can take a point!! edit: steal a point.

emesron....flagged

Goal rule out

Emerson with it

Emerson's goal disallowed for offside. Jack would label Carletto a magician had it counted...

(for Locke) Goal Chievo. They lead Atalanta.

I though it counted for a minute and my first thought was lucky, lucky Carlo

The only question is, why do we play only after we're down by the odd goal or 2, it's rediculous, I always thought this was a team of professionals

So we're playing our slowest player behind our fastest player!?!? Genius

With any luck carlo will be gone tonight

That's my only true wish in life atm

5 minutes added on

Unbelievable

Carlo is one lucky sob

Make that 2 for Chievo - they converted a penalty too.

Big miss by Pippo had a good chance bu it was an awful touch

1 minutes to salvage our blushes

Foul on a good position. LET PATO TAKE IT!

Oh my what did Pirlo do there?

They did and it hit the wall.

FT Samp 2 - 1 Milan.

Shameful display.

carlo is lucky that we are so sentimental/cheap as any other club would have fired him long before now.

What a mess with that golden opportunity of a free-kick

Why didn't Pirlo just take it? Intead they passed it around a hundred times and then Pato took a shot that was obviously blocked

2-1 FT.

Number of players worthy of wearing the glorious shirt: 1: Alexandre Pato.

Another awful display that clearly showed our lack of motivation. Our players did little today but our coach is the bigger underperformer of the season!

And now fourteen points in the gutter. I guess Signore Galliani's watchtower approach to training sessions has started paying dividends already.

thank god i slept

@ result

@ DST do we even have a coach?, last time i checked we had a bump on a log.

and @ pato, the only one on this team having a good season.

Beckham has absolutely tanked ever since Galliani (I think) openly declared that Milan wanted to keep him.

Ahh, Pirlo messed it up. This season is becoming very hard to watch. Milan needs an enema.

What should we do?

1.Reshuffle the non-player department. Meaning: fire the team doctor, re-appoint assistaints if needed, sack the coach if a better option is avaible; Rijkaard, Leonardo, Prandelli...not sure. But I am sure if we part with Ancelotti that Milan should hire a coach with more dynamic game-approach. I've only recently re-watched a few old Cesare Augusto tapes and man...he was dynamic. Milan had already scored 2 or 3 goals and he still was near the line giving instructions.

2. Reshuffle the squad selection. Meaning: part with the players that don't fit the gameplay, either Carletto's or a whole new gameplay. Replace with quantity or quality is the big question?

Agreed.

And once a new coach arrives Galliani should finally release the death grip he has on this team and let the new coach be the one in charge of who to let go and who to bring in. The transfers not being Carlo's choices is imo, one of the big reasons for being in this mess in the first place. Although that one then goes back to the fact that Carlo let's them walk all over him and should have stood up to them and asked for what he wanted not took whatever he recieved without complaint

I think Carlo's being a yes man to B&G has extended his Milan stint as much as anything. If he were an obnoxious go-getter like Mourinho, he might've been canned after Istanbul.

I don't think it's that simple. Many factors lead us to stick with Ancelotti. Some of them still do. We'll see..

Atm I can't see any to tell you the truth, the longer he stays the more damage the new coach will have to undo

I'm not sure Kaka may absolutely change game of this Milan....but another miserable game without Ricky....

no press confernece or anything yet

I don't think there is a reason we should (now) rush and sack Carletto right this moment. At the end of the season maybe ways will part, but that has to be reconsidered thorowly.

Or maybe now, so we could use the last few fixtures as a Leonardo probation? I'm against it for many reasons, just want to see other opinions as well.

Pato deserved his goal. He does not deserve the team mates around him

I'm also against the idea of changing coaches during the season, but atm, the more Carlo stays the worse it's going to get.

I think giving Leonardo a chance now could be a good idea

Costacurta now, SAF in the summer!


I'm quite sure it's that simple. He would have gone some time ago if it was not for that factor.

I'm thinking it's best to get rid of him now.

All i can say is can't wait for kaka to be back next game. Without him, this team cannot do anything.

So what? I still don't agree it's just that, but let's say it is. Why should a coach confront Galliani&Berlusconi? Zaccheroni did by breaking up the Boban-Leonardo pairing. What good was it? Berlusconi angry not seeing his 2 favorite players on the pitch, a disaster Milan formation, a clueless coach...and? Two interim coaches...

I don't think it's wise to confornt with the management. Especially now that economy isn't doing well and recession has been used as everyone's excuse for nearly anything. Milan's policy is to keep the books as clean as possible and make little deficit; what good would it bring to have a coach that shouts around "bring me Drogba", when, at the end of the day it's again up to B&G?

This is a major problem in it's own. Coaches pick the players and set up the team, THEY should be the ones deciding who comes in - within reason.
