We've been pretty bad so far this half imo, just no ideas, nothing. But some great work from Ibra and a wonder striker have turned it for us

Come on iBra you're better than this !!!

We never were out of it.

Milan lead 2-0, yet maybe one sole good attack made. And god how painfully mediocre Aquilani is.

Ht. I think they need to pick it up in the second half. It's just very blah atm, and it's been that way all 45 minutes. Nocerino's goals have been isolated incedents in a so far average performance

I still cannot believe that the decent and still trust-worthy Ambro of last season has been reduced to this. Completely invisible except for the moments when he's losing the ball or being made a fool of. Boateng has been dropping into that area to do his work

Robinho for Ambro, move Boateng back and we might really see some good stuff in the second half

I don't get how you can criticise him when Aqui has mostly been owrking his @ss off to clean up after Ambro. He's been reduced to sweeping the ball to get us back into possession for most of the game

Anyone can give video links for these 2 goals?

Ibra, when he has nothing to play for and loses motivation, becomes painful to watch. sure he's still capable of assists and occasional wonder plays, but he's nowhere near the player I saw last season. he looks like he doesn't care that much anymore and I repeat, it's painful to watch him like this.

I'm sure he will be all pumped up for CL games though!

Hopefully robinho can come on and give us some excitement!!

Yes,sadly.

We're up 2-0 and this place is doom and gloom central.

I suppose it's not good enough

Work is one side, but I expect more creativity and more good passes from a player of his position, and Ambro can't be the one to blame for the lack of Aqui's accuracy.

And yes, Ibra looks without any motivation.

Parma goalkeeper sounds like a girl

Do we have a striker on our bench? A proper one, not Robinho; Ibra has to go off, he just isn't in the mood for doing anything.

Can we sell iBra on e-Bay?

cassano should have made it 3

cassano should have made it 3

Cassano should have scored that. Too much intricate work ruined the chance

Urby for Aqui

Why not Robinho for Ambro or Cassano???

Huh?? Urby for Aqua??
WHAT THE ****?

IBRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ibra 3-0

IBRAAAAAAAAA

That's why you don't take him off!!!!

Why is Cassano having trouble with his finish lately. He seems to be more comfortable searching an extra pass rather then shoot. The old Cassano would have just fired straight.

Robs on Ibra off

Should have been for Cassano who needs some form of rest at this point

Hmmm what was that clash of shoulders between Ibra and Allegri when he was subbed? Strange

3-1 poor poor stuff

3-1

What were they doing with that pass though??

...and that's why Taiwo isn't played in important matches. Not that Antonini is any better...

I don't get why he waited so much to run at the ball, the pass was clearly too short. Whoever made that pass (don't remember who) is also at fault imo

robinho is back to normal (in terms of finishing)

lol, how is Ambro not on a yellow in this game, really amazing. If VB did half the sh!t Ambro did today, he'd be sent off for sure

NOCERINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hattrick

Nocerinoooooooooooooooooooooooooo

back to back hatricks

And Cassano with yet another assist. Can't believe people treated him as a surplus.

atlanta missed a PK in 90 minute against inter still 1-1

2 points off the top of the table while still playing like sh!t. Not that bad...

But we seriously cannot play like this against Roma next Saturday. The players and Allegri need to get their acts together or we could be looking at another smacking like the ones against Juve and Napoli.

Yep, to think some wanted him out during the summer. What would we have done without him when he was the only fit striker?

His assists are all great, but he needs to be more greedy at times, as well as stop with the too intricite work. Just smash them when the oppostunity comes! He usually tries to make the pass or holds on to the ball a second or two longer and by then the opportunity is gone. Be selfish Cassano, you're a striker, it's allowed!

Ambrosini performs better as an anchor,he wasn't that good,but wasn't the liabality he was against Lecce.He still came back from injury,let's not forget that.I see him as a good Van Bommel replacement against weak and middle class clubs.

Nocerino was our hero for today from midfield .He was everywhere,his workrate is really impressive,just the player we needed,and could develop into one hell of a player.

Boateng was not influential at all today which shows that we need a classic attacking midfield.We have no one for that position,literaly.Our midfield looks great,and with some good depth,finally!

Thiago was his amazing self,owned everyone.

Taiwo is improving,he has some sweet passes,and can be dangerous sometimes,but still needs confidence.His defense is also better than Antonini,and still much more room for improvement.

Our defense needs stability,we're going out with an almost different back four every match.

+1

EDIT:

By the way, as it stands the top two players assists in the league come from Cassano (5) followed by Aquilani (3).

Great game.
Top marks for everyone generally except Ambro, Taiwo and Abbiati. Even Allegri and Bonera were good

Despite my criticism of Taiwo (who'd deserve a high 6 / low seven) he's improving and is already miles ahead of Anto. One Mistake in this game doesn't at all put him behind the mistake career of Anto. Also Taiwo's runs and pace gave us so much more width on the left it was really pleasing.

Abate continues to improve incrementally. We would appreiate him more over the next 2~3 seasons.

I can't criticize Cassano despite his relaxing instead of shooting because that's simply his style. If he were a different player he'd have had more goals and less assists.

iBra was not playing his own high standards and a gift of a goal will again hide this fact. He's verrrrry show and looks utterly unmotivated. Yes I'm biased against him but I maintain that a higher calibre team would tear him apart playing like this.

Nocerino was our man of the match. How one guy on R&B says that he's on par with Brocchi is beyond me. But I guess he's excused as a Pirlo fan . Guy fought for every inch (no homo) of space and his technique isn't horrible for a guy mainly viewed as a blue collar player.

I was soooo angry at Allegri for the snubbing (again) of El Sharaawry) but I'm not the one that just led the team to another great win.

Actually my opinions on Allegri remain and I expect him to excel in these types of games vs. lesser opponents. However Allegri has MASSIVELY improved two main dimensions of our attack

1) Goals off of corners
2) Shots from outside by midfielders

I really will have no basis for complaint if we keep playing like this consistently at all levels -i.e. vs big teams as well.

Great game and FORZA Milan

Firstly, I don't remember having witnessed two back to back hattricks by two of a team's midfielders before. really strange stuff.

And secondly, I can't quite believe Pato is yet to score a hat-trick...




That kind of ruined his image in my mind!

Unforunately didn't see the game.

Was it a case of them being bad, or were we just very good?

They were bad, we were bad. Nocerino really pulled out a great match though. We only had very isolated events where we actually did good, positive things on the ball. Most of the first half was the usual passing the ball around the defence and midfield with 0 penetration

Great night at the stadium.
