Milan Are Brilliant
Fastest goal in CL history apparently. Against them too brilliant.

Ah, and commentary from Gerry 'I have a Barca/Messi tattoo' Armstrong... great.

LOL Seedorf showing them how it's done biggrin.gif
Milan Are Brilliant
Ah, Pato if you got that touch right it would have been 2-0.
han2503
Pato is killing their CBs
Milan Are Brilliant
Close from their winger.

You, should have been more focused.

Barca can't always get away with palying no natural CB. We can score more here.
han2503
Ooooo, we need to close them down better, they're getting closer
Milan Are Brilliant
Gerry Armstrong wants everyone sent off if they step in a 10 foot radius of a Barca player rolleyes.gif

Ridiculously biased, even when it's against other Spanish sides.

Anyone have the video of the first goal ? I missed it !
milanbuf88
I left work early for the game and still missed the first goal. Damn haha. Forza Milan!
Milan Are Brilliant
Thinking that can't be the quickest goal didn't Makaay & G.Silva score one quicker? (Useless commentators).
Jack Bauer
Stupid foul by Boateng.

Abbiati passing it straight back to them. Kick better!!!

Pato is tracking well, Cassano might as well not be on the pitch in that respect.

Ambrosini?!?!

That's why I would have liked Urby to start and Cassano as a sub in the 2nd half.

Ambro for Boateng. sad.gif

Ambro on for KPB not sure why.

This is what I said when we were discussing this before the match. Cassano will not be useful to us when we don't have possesion for lengthy periods. Another midfielder would have been the wiser decision
milanbuf88
Ambro?? WTF?!
Milan Are Brilliant
FFS game over.

Lets overhype Messi running now.... OH great.

****!

Must be an injury.

Jack Bauer
Thank you, Abate.
han2503
They better not panic. Press them!!
Milan Are Brilliant
Abate slips and it's Messi being unbelievable laugh.gif laugh.gif

This is why I say he's overhyped here, it's ridiculous. Though it is Gerry Armstrong.
X-Offender
What the hell are we doing??? We are not pressing! They're doing whatever they want.
Jack Bauer
Iniesta off, Fabregas on.
Milan Are Brilliant
It's their game to lose now.

Cassano... laugh.gif laugh.gif
X-Offender
By the way, Cassano has been pathetic so far. And I mean Gattuso-like pathetic.
milanbuf88
Wow. We can't keep the ball for more than 5 seconds. Cassano has been invisible defensively and his first touch has been poor on the few opportunities he's gotten.

I think he's a good commentator.. just not when he's doing Barca games.

I don't think I've heard him commentate outside them, maybe a few ROI games but bar that I can't remember many.
han2503
Why are they playing impossible balls when we actually have it on the rare occasion?? Play it simply get it to Pato so he can try to burn them again!
han2503
Aquilani needs to be brought in during the second half
Milan Are Brilliant
Oh, Cassano you're so bad. I've been saying this since pre-season and got ridiculed for it, waste of space. Yes, I know he scored against Lazio, but I just don't see him being good enough any more for the wage he's got and for no doubt the signings he prevented via this.

Agreed. For Cassano please.

Absolutely.
han2503
Cassano is just not good at this sort of game. It's simple really, he's not cr@p by anyt stretch of the imagination, but he wasn't going to be useful when we're barely seeing the ball

Everyone knew this, aside from Allegri apparently rolleyes.gif

He needs to get another midfielder in there pronto!
X-Offender
Ball possession: Barça 70% - 30% Milan

Milan Are Brilliant
I'd have taken this scoreline a million times over if you offered it me before. My only concern is it just seems a matter of time before Barca get their 2nd, 3rd, 4th now. Cassano has been non-existant and we could really do with bringing possibly Aquilani in to add more to our midfield.

Not the worst performance as we are playing Barca in their back yard, lets be realistic here. I'd probably not be too pleased against any other side, bar maybe United with us like this.
arivanjj
quite pathetic this is.. literally defending for 90 mins. no way in hell we're gonna get a positive result.
han2503
I'm not worried about ball possesion, but the pressing is none existant. That needs to be fixed. 2 strikers is a waste, as I predicted all along, what do you need 2 strikers for when you knew you wouldn't be in possesion for long periods of time?

I won't fault Cassano, I knew this would happen, he's wasted there and taking up a position that could help the midfield

ESPN has it at 80/20.
Dracoris
Gotta sub Cassano. At least Pato runs back from time to time. Aquilani in. Coulda really used Ibra's hold up play.

I feel like everything you've seen from us has been purposeful, I expect another tactic in the second half.
