And here we go. Counterattack with quickness, Abate once again missing.

Fucking pathetic. Gragano was running forever with the ball

We are so slow! No grit, no speed, no determination. Seedorf's pace is killing our game. Get him off, put El Shaarawy.

No, Aquilani!

It's like looking at the same thing we saw at the beginning of last season, counter attack and bam, we conceed.

What a save from Aquilani's shot!!

OOOOOHHHHHH A MUST GOAL BY AQUI!! GOOD SAVE THO!

aqualani should have equalised....

aquilani again!!!!!!!
he's got a case of the robinhos

HEHE, yea 1 on 1's are not their thing!!

That's unfair. It was a great save not a bad shot.

We must get better.. Havent seen Pato the whole game... hes been isolated.

2 Shots from Cavani and a very nice goal from Aqua makes it 2-1 at half time.

i'm not sure i'd make a change at the break

HT

We need to do sooo, much better then this in the second half!!

And what is up with being susceptable to counters once again?? I thought Allegri took care of that last season.

HT 2-1 down... will be very hard to get back into the game.. nothing on the bench who could really change the game for us

not true he never lifts the ball on 1v1s he went at de sanctis

We don't really have any options on the bench. My only question is why we're trying to go up the left flank when Bonera is on that side?

I saw Pato losing possession for the 2-1 goal, and almost fighting with a Napoli player.

Seedorf isn't our problem; at least not the only problem. Both flanks are in fact useless - Abate running up and down all the time, leaving much free space behind him, while gaining us nothing with his forward skills. Nocerino and Bommel are cut off and don't look especially good as well, just like Pato.

Play Merkel

All that praise for our defending against Barça goes down the drain after tonight's pathetic performance. We conceded two stupid goals, especially the second was unbelievable. Seedorf is killing me with his turtling around. Aquilani must play in that position and El Shaarawy as trequartista.

i think seedorf has done quite okay, as for abate yea his forward runs left so much sapce that cavani is n marked for the second goal... i think the whole team is not playing that good and to make things worse the bench does not provide many options for us as well....

I really don't know. But it's painful to watch them goddammit, all of them. Cafu or Sergio would now appear as eye candies. I mean, what's the point really, Abate, Bonera, Antonini all bombing forward, leaving us vulnerable yet producing nothing.

the flanks arn't useless, it's just Napoli's tactical setup, their widemen are further up all the time, so if abate wants to bomb upward he has to first beat Dossena, then he's face to face with Aronica.. We need to build through the middle.

Emanuelson... he is attacking minded, could be useful

I would give that a go. Lacking any speed in midfield and very static, 4 v 5 in that midfield we need some movement up ahead, Cassano is getting on my tits, he doesnt seem to realise he is only on the first 11 due to injuries he has done nothing in last two games to try and make that spot his own......Lazy ****.

I'm calm

Abate did the same thing last season.

As a whole, the team is suffering, we're just not up to speed yet, last season we had time to iron out the kinks against, Lecce, Cesena, Catania etc, and still we lost points in those games. This season we've started badly again and have to contend with Lazio, Barca, Napoli and Udine in the 1st 4 games of the season. Add to that, we had a dismantled squad due to a massive injury haul.

We need to absolutely take the draw off Napoli, we can't let them take 3 points off us. Someone needs to step up, Pato and Cassano need to work better together, Seedorf needs to move the ball better same goes for Aqui, Nocerino and Abate need to show energy to spark life into this game for us.

Bonera is usless I take what I said back, give me calamity Antonini at least he does something when we're in possesion

Urby won't change anything imo, and I don't see where he could play unless he's put in at LB, which could be a risk but worth it at this point

I doubt it. Emo doesn't strike me as a player that could influence the build up. Allegri uses him to as a closure sub.


I think they are. When did we score from one of Abates crosses in a league game? When did he do any good with his forward work?

I told you so han

Whatever possessed Allegri to put Bonera on the LB is out of this world.

I don't get blaming Abate to be honest, yes the goal was scored from the right side, but the problem is that we were caught dead on the counter. It's the same problem we had at the beginning of last season as well. I don't understand how we've regressed like this.

Pato needs to wake up. Cassano has been more lively then him and has gotten into better position but he needs to stop whining

Only just got in, but it's worrying to see we've conceeded two again.

Bonera isn't really at fault for either, in my opinion. Yes he gave away a free kick, but we failed to deal with the free kick at all. 2nd goal was just poor all round. Abbiati should've probably done better on both goals too.

wtf is wrong with pato?

3-1

Where the **** is the defence???

cavani hat trick

Game over.

Boom, game over.

Started because our midfields half assed effort allowed Lavezzi to get to the ball first.

This one can be blamed on Seedorf as well.

nesta surely could have cleared it elsewhere...

Pato rightfully booked. Cut that **** out of your game.

outside of Silva, no one is blameless this game

If I had to blame this on someone, I'd blame it on Allegri. If the team is playing without grit and determination, it's his fault for not injecting the right mentality into the players. I switch to Real and I see a bunch of players running like crazy to equalize. I turn back to Milan, and I see a bunch of slugs walking without ideas and determination. It's called winning mentality, and we don't have it.

now nesta has lost his head

He lost the header to Maggio for the 1st goal didn't he?

No need for that Nesta... guess this could lead to a post mach ban?

Hm.. a very bad Milan tonight! Napoli done well!!

We're just not showing any initiative

At this point, Napoli is simply put better then Milan in every aspect of the game.

Antonini and Emanuelson in for Bommel and Bonera. Not gonna change much.

Why Urby for VB???

To get hit on another counter?? Stupid move

seedorf still on, he must me tired

i hope Chu-lip's prophecy of urby rising us to victory holds true
