Odu for Pippo

Odu for Pippo

I think he was serious...

he accidentally ellbowed the player and still got a FK

Boateng has given a truckload of effort in this match. He knows he has to earn his playing time it seems.

DOUCHEBAGS.

Look at Galliani!!

I meant it. he's a monster like Gattuso in his prime, only he can actually dribble, make accurate passes, take shots, etc. great, great free buy!

lol I like Boateng.
I thought he looked like a troublesome guy, but I guess first impressions aren't everything.
With time he won't be that aggressive anymore

Looks like another 2 points lost...

And there is Rino, for some reason.

EDIT: I'll be starting a trust fund. It'll be called "Fund so Bonera can afford crossing lessons."

Odd substition...

What's the point of making the sub in the last minute ?

Only 4 minutes!!

They've been wasting so much time!!!

Galliani out

AHHhh Zlatan nearly

ft 1-1

>:(

FT

Another dissapointing performance!!!

And we have another game midweek, they need to get their heads together fast!

Hopefully Palermo hold Inter so we don't lose too much ground on them this early

fuc'k

I don't want to be saying this, but I'm not sure we brought the right coach...

What a weird subsitution at the end. We need a goal so....lets put on the most defensive midfielder in the league. Is Allegri high?

Terribly disappointed.

Hopefully Don Silvio will fire this "coach" before Inter have a 10-point advance.

This guy is 10 times worse than Ancelotti and at the same ridunkulous level as Leo. Bring a proper and proven coach already.

another 2 points gone quite regular stuff and why would one sub seedorf so late i mean he can score those late winners

damn draw

that early sitter Pippo missed was decisive

he's a confusing character

Boateng deserve's a place in first team. That's all I can say for this game.

thank God we had a change in coach because last season we only managed a draw against Catania at San Siro!

??

you want to fire Allegri?
How long does his c0ontract run?
and who would you suggest to replace? lol

Berlu should buy out the Turkish FF and bring us Hiddink. less won't do.

what the **** alegri he makes subs in last 10 min e why robinho didnt come in aftyer the first half whyyyyy im pissed offfff in alegri

Ah sorry, by the smiley you used I thought you were being sarcastic! IMO Boateng has been the best signing of the summer so far.

This is clearly an unsettling period of transition for Milan, one which has been underway for a long time. We just never seem to look like having extended periods of organisation and discipline, whether it was the end of Carlo's reign, most of Leo's, or this Allegri era.

The balance has not been right for a long time, and even signing a host of decent new players, including one or two real heavyweights, hasn't made much difference.

This game in particularly hugely doused the belief we can win the league. It is early days and all can change, and often does, but while Leo's Milan start was just poor, I cannot quite put my finger on what is wrong with Allegri's.

Let's look at it from the logical angle here. We had and still have an overwhelming schedule to play, the team hasn't really had time to train and prepare before the real deal happened. 2 new players come in, NT break, 1 day training we face Cesena, then the schedule is simply unrelenting.

What is really unfair is that we played on Wednesday in the CL and had to play Serie A today, while Inter played CL on Tuesday and play Serie A tomorrow, that's 2 full days more to prepare!

Robinho's injured, that's why.

Other than that, don't get why Allegri waited so long to sub somebody in.

Let's not get on Allegri's back for a sub, he really didn't have any good options on the bech. My only gripe is that he let Bonera stay on, I think they're sill being cautious with Zambro which would be the only logical explenation as to why Bonera started

Little dissapointed but its expected. Allegri's work won't be shown until november. You guys can jump up and down all day and say he's either brilliant or an idiot but it won't matter.

This is still leo's team. Allegri is not a wizard, he's not going to pop in and change the team in a month. Its going to take time and he will make some mistakes to see what works and doesn't.


He's our best option right now; hiddink level coaches are not realistic.

One word - slow! Our counter attacks are awful because we get so far then have to turn back because there is either no-one capable of running with the ball, or no-one capable of getting ahead of the player with the ball. Meanwhile Catania looked dangerous each time they countered...

Another thing I've noticed with Allegri's Milan is how exposed we look when attacking. If our attack breaks down our players seem slow to react/get back and too many times we are left 3 or 4 on 1 and luckily we haven't conceded yet but it surely can't be long before we do. I think Allegri needs to sort his system out and get the players playing it before it's too late.

tbh, the right coach can make a team great overnight. I've seen it happen time and time again.

This is not me saying Allegri sucks, but generally I find the start a manager makes, by and large, reflects the chances of success for the rest of their time.

If they start well over the first month or so, you can probably assume overall they'll be a success. If their first month is poor, overall they'll probably fail.

Well we had attacking momentum for a very long period during the 2nd half,i don't think he wanted to mess that up with a sub,i think for a good 20mins we had chance after chance.

Definitely, he must play ! He is the best player of the season so far!

That only happens in these circumstances:


1) The players and the manager are the same. Share same oppionion on how football should be played, same philosphy same mindset same everything. Then its easy.


or

2) The manager gets to buy the players of his choice that suit him and his philosophies.



Allegri got neither. So he needs to time to see what works and what doesn't. The players need time aswell to see what the manager wants and doesnt.

it was clear that inzaghi was too exhausted to play, and he and ibra actually cancel each other out, i don't think it's a good idea to play them on the same time...

I agree (again)! Oh i just hate to look Bonera on the RB, maybe we can try with flamini, this would gave a lot of space more for antonini on the left because flamini would cover a lot better and he will even help in those ugly counters that happens to us, and we will be more balanced at all with one more crazy runner alongside with Prince so we will cover 10 times better and flamini will even help pirlo and the hole team would be better i think. So flamini must play for me, but i also think that seedorf is important in taking the ball forward so its the only think that falls on my mind , flamini on RB with KPB , pirlo and clarence in the midfield i think this will help get us balance! What do you think?

All I can say is hopefully Robinho recovers by Wednesday. Pippo was killing me out wide and Ibra is wasted there. We really got screwed that Robinho managed to get injured the same week that Pato went down for one of his marathon recoveries

I thought exactly the same thing. IMO our system needs one static forward(Ibra or Pippo) and runners around them.

his workrate's amazing.. and a damn good fighter as well..

One thing we expected was when we use this line-up, we are exposed at the back and in the midfield. It's funny when DM position was never really our problem until this season.

so who is injured vs Lazio?

i hope not too many as we can't afford to drop any points!!

And you can say all you want too, but it won't change the fact he messed up big time tonight. Playing Pirlo, Seedorf and Boateng in midfield was a mistake a Milan-level coach shouldn't do. Always play a "water carrier" alongside the creative mid and never play a game without defensive midfielders. Boateng is not a defensive midfielder, Seedorf certainly isn't and neither is Pirlo. Can you believe the amount of counter attacks Catania had tonight? I know it sounds nasty, but playing Gattuso tonight was a necessity. Seedorf is just dead weight. All he does is lose balls and never defends. Besides, why on earth did he play Inzaghi wide when Pippo can barely dribble at all? Plus the very late sub of Oduamadi and the incomprehensible entering of Gattuso one minute from full time... Duh, what douche!

I don't think Flamini would want to play at RB, also imo, Zambrotta is our absolute best option for that position. I don't know why he didn't start today, but hopefully there is a good reason for it...

If Flamini is fit next game, we should try a Flamini--Pirlo--Boateng midfield. We really need some legs in there.

Imo al our problems lie in the concerns most had before the season started, the FBs and midfield. The midfield today in the first half was pretty much non-existant, Boateng running like a maniac into the box, Seedorf jugging around up the pitch, and Pirlo in no man's land. Bonera again, running up the pitch like a headless chicken, he doesn't know how to make runs that help the forward playing on his side, every cross he makes ends up anywhere but where it's supposed to, and not only that he gets caught out every time. Why? Because he's out of position, and this is something that I've been talking about all summer

last three games Milan played just created a thought, that maybe our first game performance was a one-hit wonder..

but there's still a long way to go..

We must also consider the fact though, that our two best DMs (Flamini and Ambro) and our two second strikers (Pato and Robinho) were all injured for tonight. I mean, what are the odds really?

I think the pressure put on Allegri with the signings made is starting to get to him.

You don't play that good as a one off. Sue Lecce gave us a lot of space but still we were really good, the way the entire team moved, constantly offering Pirlo options. I believe we can get that back, but the team needs time, time I don't think we have, especially if Inter really find their feet, we could be 10 points off by the time we really click again and that is something we can't afford to have happen
