we mite blow this

our midfield is dead we need to wake up or we want make the 3 points today

we're not playing with intensity in this half. Allegri's sub hardly changes anything. we need 2 fresh legs in midfield where our players are running out of breath.


Chievo nearly got another. without Silva our defense suddenly looks shaky.

2-2 but offside. get your act together ffs!!

I agree with u, Link. And thank f God that was offside! I would love to see Zlatan to hattrick instead of Pato

Come on bring Flamini in for Seedorf!!

The ref is ****ing blind!

KPB for seedorf good sub hopefully

finally !! out with seedrof

greaaaaaat shoot from Ronaldinho

sorry for the double post***

Dinho!
great save from Surrentino

We're not really pushing but we're keeping the ball...

Dinho seems to be adept at this

Zlatan! what was that?!!?

He's a complete madman

5th time he screams at the ref in Serie A and NT? Gattuso got some followers

HAHAH, dinho , nice played with the ref

ROBNHOOOOOOOOOOOO

ROBINHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROOOOOOOBINHO, FINALLY !!!
Im so happy for him ! finally !
And Dinho as usuall, lovely

FT. 3-1. we played better in the 1st half but overall were still good. glad for Robinho - he had done absolutely nothing before the goal so this helps him a lot. credit to Dinho for the perfect assist.

Fingers crossed Silva recovers for Madrid..

3pts bagged !

Another heart attack game at the end, but 3 points is all that matters.

great game. second half was a little scary. finally ibra have got to discipline himself. this is very unprofessional behaviour . Although Ibra and Dinho were outstanding

What a sad win,i want Silva back

I missed the first half. Second half was badly played, we let Chievo too much initiative. Glad about Robinho. Still, it's a bitter victory, Thiago might be out for a long time.

You missed the first half?

Oh no wonder...

First half Zlatan was AMAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing

OK.

I'm just hearing right now, Thiago has suffered a light ankle distortion. Still, his presence against Madrid is unlikely.

Now we are on top of the table let's see what will Bari do against Lazio.

FU*K YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


FORZA MILAN!!!!!!!!!!!

I should have put money on.

It was after Silva's substitution that Chievo started to really bother us though.

Gattuso is BACKKKK!
Seedorf should never start again a match,cmon.He didn't do anything this match and he still gets picked over the profilic boatang and flamini.
Pato in a striker role was awesome,along with Ibra.Although Ibra had his ups and downs,I remember in the match where he passed through six player then held play,instead of passing to Robinho.Although he didn't anything on the ball,his off-ball runs were superb.
Dinho was OK,he needs to be in a better physical shape.Maybe,I expect too much from him.
Boatang was very good,he is last piece of the puzzle and he still doesn't get a start over Seedorf...
Antonini was a bit too offensive,and Zambro was great in the defense and attack.He had a few hick ups but overall he was great.

I really don't understand why Allegri keeps insisting on that old slow midfield. Rino is playing great so far but he's not going to be able to keep this up playing every 3 days. He should have started Flamini today, Rino against Madrid. Now it's going to be a tired Rino against Madrid which in trun will hurt our midfield. Same goes with Seedorf and Boateng, why play Seedorf today? Totally unnacessary. I can see Allegri insisting on that midfield for every game now. He doesn't seem to want to drop the oldies when he has better options. I would have understood them playing against Real when they would be fresh, but not against Chievo on Saturday and then again against Real on Tuesday

Maybe he'll do the opposite Han,Start Flamini and Boateng.
Although,I doubt it.It would be smart if he did that.

Huh? Why would you prefer Seedorf over Boateng against Real? I hope to see Boateng against Real rather than Seedorf. Boateng, Pirlo and Gattuso is my preference when it comes to our 3 man midfield.


Why would that be smart? Gattuso is playing awesome this season. He is way better than Flamini at the moment.

I missed the first half too but it seems like the first half was better then the second but great that Robinho finally scored and loved Dinho and his assists. And DAAMN IT! that Thiago Silva is injuyred And seems like I was right It was a owngoal or it looked like it too, Ibra scored at least.. In the wrong goal.

Gattuso has been great,you're right.But I doubt he can play against Real,the way he played today.He spend too much energy today.Flamini didn't even play this season,and he isn't much of a let down when compared to Gattuso at the moment.Although,maybe Gattuso should have been given a rest today but these are the games he needs to be playing.I think a fast/dynamic mid against Real is much better.Again,I'm just assuming.So I could be dead wrong about many things...

regardless how they play in the second half, still, 3 points in the bag.. any official news on Silva?

and i really like how Seedorf played in the first half.. hope to see more of it in next week's game..

Just saw Pato's goals. The first one was absolutely brilliant. Kudos to Ibra for the genius assists.

How much rest didn't he have the last few weeks? A previous time I heard the same and few days later he played awesome again. Of course he gets tired that day but that doesn't mean he will be tired for a half week.

He's 32, and for a player of his characteristics, he gets tired very quickly.

yup.. and not only him.. notice that after the 60th min mark, Chievo finds it easier to penetrate.. and they came in numbers.. maybe that was their tactic after all..

Because I know tat Allegri wouldn't drop Seedorf for the Real match for anything, I would prefer Boateng against Real as well, but I know that's not going to happen, so at least I want a Seedorf that is not already tired because he played nearly 90 minutes just 3 days before


He's looked tired as well in those games, Rino puts in a lot in every game so he's going to burn out quicker, sure he's had time to rest but he's still going to be playing 2 games on op of each other. Flamini could have done the same job Rino did against Chievo without any fuss. And Rino could have been 100% fit and ready to go for Real, now tiredness will creep in faster, and with a Seedorf-Pirlo-Rino midfield we can't afford to have that happen.


Exactly

Let's give Max a bit of credit. I think if Rino and Zee played 90 minutes today, it's because he planned on having at least one of them benched for Boateng.

Can't see it happening. I'm 99.99% sure that the same midfield 3 we saw yesterday will start against Real

I can't see Boateng starting against a heavyweight like Real.

+1. and Bonera is definitely ahead of Papa in his pecking order...

Zee didn't play the whole game though.

It better be Seedorf who will be benched for Boateng.

Gattuso + Pirlo + Boateng is the only midfield that makes sense to start the game with. Pato and Zlatan as forwards obviously. Ronaldinho between midfield and attack, unless you want more balance and start Seedorf instead. But let's see how it goes with Ronaldinho.

I guess when you're right you're right.
