And there lies my beef with Borri. Beautiful touch around the defense, and then crosses it to Ronnie's head on the 18yrd box? Why? Play to feet man! Ugh.
He is the master of the "Oh so close"

I don't think that ball could have been played to feet. The box was crowded, and at the pace he was going, he wasn't having a lot of angles open to play. But that cross was atrocious. I get the feeling he was looking for Huntelaar on the right.

Shot of Rosell and Galliani and Galliani looks like he's had the upper hand in his negotiations. Must be the golden tie.

He looks down right livid to me

That ball would have been golden if played to feet.

Looks like Nesta is back on his A-game, reading every pass and play Barca throw at him

I'd say Galliani charged up.
Our team is not as strong as Barca's, We're just about keeping from being dominated. Not enough possession in the Barca half.

Barca are mounting a great attack on our goal in mere seconds, while we take an hour to get the ball from our half to anywhere near their goal

We're playing that offside trap well.But maybe a bit too fine.

It's their playing style. Puyol has the ball, and he has 6 Barca players in
our half waiting to receive.
Pirlo gets the ball, and he sees Borriello surrounded by 3 defenders. This is a evenly contested defence vs offence game.
We're not having the pace to launch counters..and we don't have the players keeping possession. Pirlo is very rusty..and KPB is slowing vanishing.

Exactly what I've been repeating over and over, you play a player out of position and the first decent opporition he faces will out play him

Holy crap i hope Boateng is ok,that looked painful.
Our defense is looking ok T.Silva + Nesta are class not allowing barca to play through them,need to patch up that right hand side where all their attacks are coming from.
Again like all the other games our link between midfield and strikers is almost non existent.

Haha, well I actually was being sarcastic

He looked down and then stepped on Prince. I'm about 95% sure he could've avoided that.
I actually have always liked him, I didn't know he was like that though.

Huntelaar-Borriello are playing under average. They are doing nothing, that's why we need to sign Ibrahimovic. I'd sell both of them just to have Ibrahimovic for 1-2 years.
To be honest I was expecting more from Ronaldinho, but he failed to lead the team. Maybe 'cos he's playing in the center.
Boateng is playing quite good, but still doesn't deserve to start for Milan.
Ambrosini is tired and his side is pentrated by Iniesta and Villa.
Pirlo is not good either. He is trying to find Borriello with good passes, but com'on when you have Borriello in the team you should never do that. He(borriello)'s just f***ing bad .
Bonera is trying but as we can see he can't run. Villa is learning him how to run.
Nesta is OUR BEST player in the field there. He's not giving a chance for Ibra-Villa and I've started to worry what will we do when he get's older and retires.
Silva is playing good, but still didn't get his chance to prove.
Antonini is very good, but he need to learn how to defend (more).
Amelia is a GK that is doing is job good.
I want to see Flamini instead of Ambro in the game. Also want to see Thiago playing as CF and Papastathopoulos to cover his place by replacing Borriello and I'm not kidding.
