What really fucking annoys me is that we give the possession back even when not under pressure.Also Abbiati`s stupid long passes,keep the ball on the fucking ground.

I think we really need Aquilani in second half, we need more possession and someone who's good on the ball.

Seedorf has dropped out of it after starting strongly, but that's partly due to having nothing to hit in front of him.

pretty much since he moved from LCM to a more advanced position, his play dropped


Yes, we need a ball player... but one at LCM/RCM... not Pirlo. Moreover, if we had a CAM that could actually hold the fucking ball up, and Robinho at CAM (movement + not giving the ball away), we'd look 5x better than we do now.

who said pirlo needs to play DM?

when have i said we need him over MVB. We need a CM on the field to actually retain posession.

don't be an idiot

Barca plays like this its impossible to take the ball and when we get it there is no one to play it to. Although great defending overall.

Hmmm just a hunch but i saw Seedorf not tracking back in one of the plays and was really lazy. I think it was the barca play in which David Vila made a volley so he has been moved to trequartista and ambro has replaced Boa and brought into LCM.

2 of the fastest 5 goals in UCL history belong to Milan. Seedorf in past and Pato today

Fucking cunt-commentators saying Pato's goal was luck and Pedro's goal was so beautiful and skillful. Barca-bias more...

Milan are defending well, but they've been abysmal in possession. You can't give Barcelona the ball this easily.

Cassano needs to come off. There's always the chance that he'll do something special, but that's just not a gamble that's worth taking when he's being this much of a passenger. Emmanuelson on? 4-4-1-1 with him and Nocerino wide?

Seedorf has dropped out of it after starting strongly, but that's partly due to having nothing to hit in front of him.

Nocerino is invisible. He'll need to start getting ahead of the ball more now that Boateng's off.

Pato isn't doing enough. Milan really need him to start running in behind.

Dud, not even the best striker in the world could do that when your midfield are kicking the ball away as soon as they get it and his parter in attack is MIA.

Somehow I feel like this game would've been perfect with Ibra and Pato

Abbiati long ball to Ibra, Ibra pass to Pato = Goal

Anyway, its full on defence from now, I wonder how long we can keep it up though..

So far, Milan could actually have done with having Ibrahimovic on. They keep going long-ish and aren't getting up in support quickly enough. Ibrahimovic would certainly make a better fist of dealing with that than Cassano has been.

Barca is at the moment nearly unbeatable.

meh, we were more than a match for them when we weren't playing like pussies. sitting back and letting them play around with the ball, in their element, yes they're very formidable, when we were closing down their space and putting in the effort we should have run away with the scoreline.

which team in the last 3 years has outpassed barcelona? Exactly. We need to just keep that little possesion in midfield so we can get pato into space.

Just saw the replay of their goal. Horrid defending. Loved how Pedro just walks up to the ball, uncontested, while Zambro sips some fuckin lemonade.

I feel the same, since ambro is on, take of nocerino, which I wouldnt have done, but ambro cant be taken off now, so 2nd half

seedorf Van bommel Ambro

Aquilani

@plastico.... we don't need a CAM who holds the ball as much as a CM

we can't fucking get the ball to attacking half, because of this


time for aquilani.... either put him at CM or move seedorf back

Current team
and zambro idioticy also

he was masturbating as pedro walks towards the ball and scores, best team ever this barca

If you're serious about that last sentence you can expect a slap through your monitor any second. :D

A ball player would have done well, I suppose, but they need to be able to defend. Seedorf helped a bit with Alves and Messi, Ambro tried but he's slow and rusty as fuck.

Boateng didn't do anything, he didn't press enough, neither did Cassano or Pato but both are our only strikers.

Cassano either needs to pick up a lot - Please do remember that his last performance was only after a wonderball by Aqui set him up for an assist; before that he was pretty much playing like this - Or get off for Urby. We can go 4-4-1-1 and hope Seedorf can find Pato, and Pato does need to start making more runs. Look at when he's done it so far? Pretty much like 5 chances which could be goals any other day...

Yeah, I would go for it. We still got Aquilani for the center latter.

Sorry if I offended someone before, but when the game was slowly starting, I didn't see tons of people asking for it. I will gladly help in that moment as I DO IN OTHER MATCH THREADS. Anyway, I posted some of them here and hopely people wouldn't be so childish next time.
