for once i wish we would have a friendly at our stadio enough of play away

favalli looks like that pic to!

best stream available: http://www.justin.tv/ana0ana

So whats the formation :S

That girl above the stream looks good...

Pato and borriello are both playing like garbage. I hope leo takes them off at half this is just disgraceful.

Before today, I have never heard of David Luiz. but, god damn he has completely OWNED zambrotta. He stops him every time zambro tries to beat him, which is sad because zambro is not looking good at all yet is STILL our best wing player..and luiz is dribbilng by him effortlessly when going forward. david luiz has made the left flank HIS.

I am curious how much benfica bought him for, im sure it wasn't much...and WHY THE F*** we can't sign someone like him!

FFS Benfica bought ramires for 8 mil!!! he was HALF the price that we sold yoann for...and that was AFTER the good Confed Cup showing he made.


I hate watching milan right now. it's SO damn clear that pirlo is the only play maker..but i don't think ive seen him get the ball ONCE in the benfica half! for some reason abate, di gennaro, and borriello are just trying to play with eachother, completely ignoring pato. Pirlo is the only one looking for pato with long balls.

FUCKING SPREAD THE PLAY, feed pirlo the ball in the middle, he'll create space for the wingers, and attack! god damn Leo needs to sort this **** out.

Benfica has more quality on the field than we do.

Janku is done. he's useless.

good job thiago, favalli, and no one else.

and we can hope for huntellar all we want, but we all have seen how useless pippo is unless he gets good service. Huntelaar wont do **** if we can't get a ball into the box! he's not the kind of striker (like dzeko/fabiano) who will create his own shot. ***i am less excited about the huntelaar signing than most people on this forum***

if we score, it'll somehow be thiago silva, cuz he's seemingly the only offensive threat we've established this pre season.

What is wrong with borriello? Is he hung over or something. Hes missed so many chances.

what's wrong with him? he lacks quality.

this performance by the team is further disconcerting because this is apparently after a week of training, yet we still seemingly have no clue.

@vnata: luiz is 21. Benfica have 4 brazillian defenders. That guy sidnei is 18.

Also yes they were all bought for good prices.

no but he was never this bad. He's unwatchable right now. He's missed so many free chances.... its not even funny.

to be fair sidnei hasn't looked good, however Luisao certainly has, and has for some years now.

David Luiz is an excellent left back.

since when did benfica have better scouting, and appeal to players than we do!? in ramires they've signed themselves a skillful, pacy, bulldog right midfielder who will feature in the Brazilian NT for the rest of his career. they bought him for 8 mil euros. he'll probably be sold for over 20.

and about borriello. i'm being harsh on him. he is quite effective when IN THE AREA, or when he picks the ball up with his back to goal AROUND THE 18 box, and can either hold the ball there. What we're seeing him have to do now is pick up the ball near the middle of the park, and play passes. he's damn near useless at that. borriello does not complement pato that well.

everything just fit nicely together when we had ricky. now so many more of pato's and borriello's weaknesses are exposed.

cause ricky pretty much did the midfield's job himself. This is just sad. Without ricky this team can't even function. Damn you Galliani for putting us in this state!!!

yayy..our season savior ronaldinho is warming up!...

Good to see some there are some people who still recognize Ricky's importance to this team...

benfica 1-0 cardozo. Fully deserved.

that was only a matter of time.

it's a sad state of affairs when the only thing we can be happy about is the fact that we agree that this team is F***ed. aside from abate, who is very raw and makes poor decisions, we have no players strong on the ball that can bring the ball forward.

i say this in all seriousness. thiago silva on a set piece is our best chance for scoring.

We need to replace Kaka. Hernanes or Sneijder, I don't care. we just can't rely on Dinho or Di Gennaro to do a Kaka. they can't. if we don't fill that empty place, we're screwed.

i don't mean to get personal, but i haven't really seen fillipo simone posting recently. where is his undying optimism these days?

i think even he may realize how what zed.d, acid, blue, and myself have been saying for the past 2-3 years was actually true...and we weren't just needlessly spreading "doom and gloom"

Kaka's void at this point is so big that its unfulfillable by anyone. Pirlo when gone had a void as well but not as big is this. We look so slow and pathetic when we have the ball. Now we look truly like a retirement home.

He's been a fan for such a long time that his patience is much larger than ours. He's been through it all so he can hold out. He's seen the glory days the rise of sheva ricky all that. Thats why for example 1-2 seasons of terrible doesn't bother him because hes seen us 3 in CL finals.

fair enough.

I think these performances (I'm not watching but I can imagine how mediocre we are) will eventually force the management into replacing Kaka. instead of making Dinho stand up and promise to have a good season and all that ****, buy a motivated young talent who pays in Kaka's position. that's better than having the likes of Dinho.

what a ball from dinho to borriello! ARGGHHH! F*ck hes useless! We should sell him or trade him or something! We need a better foreward.

at this point I don't even know if that is enough man. We need at least 5-8 new players and release about 10 players. This team just makes me sick. Poor Leo hes gonna be the scapegoat for this too.


If i were him I would come out and say what do you expect. No signings, no wins.

100% agreed. i'm still bitter we didn't move for ramires, as he is a gem. dinho is fine as a central midfielder these days, he almost plays just like pirlo really..we'd be fine with dinho if we had dzeko. who is truly a danger man on his own. but borriello AND huntelaar both need precise service otherwise they're useless.

This is painful to watch.


We got nothing...In all areas of our team,absolutely nothing.

who is actually watching the game on here?

most are.

I AM.

haha oneywu on for nesta! Leo's face was priceless! He's so F*cking pissed

I don't think Dinho is 100% useless. I had no complaints when we had both him and Kaka. but he can't replace Kaka; he can't be a Kaka. and unfortunately that's exactly what the management (esp Berlu) want him to be.

what benfica vs A.C Milan?

yes http://www.justin.tv/gremio_tv

goal pato!

God has just smiled....

ya know, whether he's dominating his flank, or having an absolute howler, i have no true complaints about gianluca zambrotta. if every single one of our players played with his conviction, whether we're having a good day or not, he tries hard at all times.

bravo thiago, nesta, gooch (for the little time he's been on), gianluca, and pirlo for playing with some pride and conviction worthy of the shirt you're wearing.
everyone else has some problem or the other: getting upset, complaining, not running, etc..

just put your noses to the grind stone. stop playing as if we are "entitled" to score just cuz we are MILAN. and earn you Fuc*ing stripes.

already got a stream just thought you guys were being a little harsh!

gooch is playing good. He had one worldclass tackle in our end. Hes a good signing, much much better than kaladze.

how would you prefer milan perform? Are you satisfied tieing to benfica? How about we start tieing lazio, genoa, fiorentina too why don't we. I mean we are milan right

full time 1-1. Is it pks now or extra time?

lets get things in context here...
1st it's a pre-season friendly and 2nd yes we are Milan and we are in the process of rebuilding we aren't the club we once were and the sooner people realize that the better. Who we are is immaterail the opposition won't go"ok its milan we'll defo lose"

borriello missed probably 6-10 real chances this game. That is unacceptable.

I can't agree with you on this. Because If i do, i'm afraid that I can no longer be a supporter of this club. So I will refuse to agree with you on this until I have no other choice.

Man there are so many things bad about that statement but thats your choice...me i will always support and love this club!

there showing the highlights! gosh borrriello is absoloute garbage! What a howler of a game. I don't know if keeping him is a good idea guys.

I'm not italian. I'm not from europe. I watch milan because of the team and the quality of the performances. I'm not a glory hunter but I was attracted to the club by the glory days.
