Not bad.
Balo isn't match fit and I'd rather him play at the end than come off around the hour mark.

Boateng?
Problems for Pazzini, Balotelli from the start!
Boateng has the flu.
X-off was faster.

'Huh' what?
He got injured in the warm up.
Hahhahahaha, maybe pazzini didn't want to start lmfao

Ohh... I see.
Well Good Luck to Balo then.
FORZA MILAN!! - Let's Get This!!
Man that looks like a seriously cr@ppy line-up for one of the most important games of the season so far.

I have high anticipation for this game, due to Balo and the great opportunity we have tonight. FORZA MILAN!

Who cares, Balo is playing.
Apparently Balotelli injured Pazzini.

Yeah, but look at that midfield and Bonera in defence.
And it's not like SES or Niang can really supply a player like Balo.
If Balo was Ibra then I wouldn't be worried, but Balo still needs proper service to thrive

It's all we can do though, until we get great depth we're going to have lineups like this with injuries,
Oh so close Mario!

At least play a slightly creative forward in Bojan
Not a Niang who only run up the wing in a straight line.
Also, I'd have preferred Zaccardo over the terrible Bonera who will undoubtedly be rusty
Great stuff Balo!
Man WHAT A MISS!! Come on Niang FFS!
Balotelli is class.
What's happened to Montolivo? Mistakes everywhere.
We look pretty great so far. Mario's little touches and the way he links up has been excellent.
BALOTELLI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!!!!!
BALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
BALOTELLI!!!!!
Monto + SES + Mario!
Great stuff
Great stuff
MARIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh shoot my stream went down
BALLOOOoooooo!!!!
BALLOOOoooooo!!!!
OH!!
So close Balo!
So close Balo!
MAN!
Who is hacking in these brutal corner kicks?

Niang so far has been my only soar spot.

Niang has been awesome. Have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Agreed, he and Mario's link up play has been superb.

What?
Such a brutally unrefined player
Sure his defensive work is good but that's not why he's there.
if it counts anything, thought Niang was very good so far too. Some nice unexpected dribblings, great effort, good passes .. (apart from this backheel just now).

Again, have no idea what you are talking about. Unrefined? HE IS 18. Of@cking corse he is unrefined. He has been doing really well on that right side so far.

What does his age have to do with the type of player he is?
Great defensive workrate yes, I'm impressed with that. But as far attacking play goes? If Abate wasn't doing the type of work he's doing he'd be absolutely clueless out there. Running in a straight line a hacking in crosses is not what I call great attacking play
Also his miss was also a huge tell for me
Nocerino has been awesome today!

That's your narrow one-sided view of things. He has been dribbling, running into space, linking with Balo, Flamini and Abate and he has also threatened the goalkeeper in addition to winning a handful of corners. And there are other who agree with me. Does he make some mistakes? YES. But it's no f@cking problem as he is playing well and learning.
i agree with most of what you say Max just preferred it if you chilled with the language a bit

Agreed, I think the team and fans have all been uplifted by Mario's arrival. Hope Niang can use this performance as a platform to improve on further.

Dribbling?
I haven't seen him complete one dribble!
I don't think it's narrow minded when I'm saying exactly what I see instead of just closing one eye because he's a youngster and we all p!ss ourselves silly everytime a youngster steps onto the pitch for us
I think the kid has a lot of potential to be a really good CF. All his characteristics show this, the way he links up by making lay offs and always looking for that 1-2, the way he shields the ball, his physicality, etc.
But I'm sorry, I cannot accept him as a winger when our attack could be so much more fluint
niang has been stellar <3
