I love Pirlo...the guys a great all around player. He could be the next, classier, totti. His crosses seem to stop in mid-air just before they reach his teamates. A very underaated and soon to be great player.

you guys (& gals) and your comparrassions. 1st off try comparing 2 players that play the same position. 2nd off Pirlo isn't a defensive midfielder he's a holding midfielder, & yes there is a differance.
If they wanted a defensive midfielder then Gattuso would go there. We don't play with a defensive midfielder, but backuse we play with only 3 central midfielder's (Seedorf-Pirlo-Gattuso) Pirlo is forced to come back into a deeper role. I think I agree with Passion on this one (& I hope I understand her views) in that he is a great player and should get ever better, but this year he's been a dissapointment compared with how he has played for us the 2 previous seasons. He's just not as sharp so far in the 04-05 campaign. Let's hope he can turn that around because a lot of our sucess depends on him as he's the only central midfielder. ![]() Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none. - Benjamin Franklin - A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over. - Benjamin Franklin - |

![]() This rigid setup with Seedorf, Gattuso + Pirlo + no real viable alternative system is Milan's major vulnerability, more than Inzaghi missing, an off-match by Sheva + our ancient defense. Two fairly slow players + a destructive one don't work against attack-oriented teams of a certain level that don't use the midfield as their favourite playground but see it as an area to be bridged as quick as possible. Esp. when Kaka' is so erratic as in this season. Off-topic, but I'm getting more worried about encountering the Manure than I care to admit. ![]() ![]() ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ perfection ▪ ▪ |

You continually bag out the likes of Seedorf, our defence and well know Pirlo. Pirlo does alot for Milan without his introduction into the starting XI we had no orcastrator, Pirlo possess great technical ability he can create an opportunity within a blink of an eye, he is improving his defence his challenges ball winning tackles... how can you say he is useless?? His consistancy is lacking this season but then again so does every soccer player's, your quick to pounce on a player when he was underperforming and slow to prasie one when he is at his highs ![]() ![]() "You cannot buy football, you construct it." - Arrigo Sacchi.

But, since it's New Year's Eve + I'm nice I'm gonna repeat my point. Pirlo's impact on the game is of such dimension that it approaches zero when he is off-form. In short, the structure of Milan's buildup play more or less falls apart. It manifests itself in helplessly/aimlessly pushing the ball around in midfield + eventually losing it. Don't tell me you've never noticed. ![]() ![]() ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ perfection ▪ ▪ |

![]() Whats your point Passion i said that he is improving his defensive side of the game because thats where he is lacking the most (dont need to be a rocket scientist to work that out), but i guess Rino makes it up for him and likewise Pirlo for the technical side. ![]() ![]() "You cannot buy football, you construct it." - Arrigo Sacchi.

Arrigo Sacchi wish to buy Pirlo.
I'd like to tell him "FAT HOPE! YOU'LL NEVER GET HIM! Andrea is a Milanista a vita!" Check out the news here: http://channel4.com/sport/football_italia/jan21j.html |

but then again will pirlo ever want to leave a club that gave him a shot at glory??? |
