Very good lineup yesterday, considering all the recent injuries he did the best and picked the right players for the starting eleven.
The quick decision to move Thiago to mifield and play Yepes instead of him at CB was very good. Then Sandro got injured and Allegri got Sokratis on in place of him, was a surprise move imo, I already thought he would pick Bonera, but when I saw Sokratis getting ready I was very happy. Papa got a chance and took it well yesterday, Allegri was right to trust him in that hard time yesterday.
The only choice I wasn't fully happy with was Pato's sub, imo a bit late, he should play a bit more, but I hope Allegri knows what he's doing with Pato and I trust him in that regard.

From now on I just want him to play Yepes if any of Thiago/Sandro don't play and then as next choice Sokratis, Bonera is worse than these two imo. Allegri sees them in training and matches and I hope he will always pick the best one to replace one of our dream-CB-duo.

You should just stick to writing movie scripts.

Shitlegri's 'decisions' have been begged for by the average n00b on this forum for months now...
-rest dorf
-don't make n00b subsitutions
-play Papa as two bad games don't define a player
-rest Nesta now and then....ooooops he hasn't learned that one yet :proud:
-try out Silva as a CDM
-Play Yepes
-play Merkel
-play strass
-ATTACK more to get >1 goal/game

So if you're suggesting that Shitlegri's command of the OBVIOUS is improving then I'll agree. Of course he was often FORCED into making these no-brainers due to injuries and suspension.....guess that makes him a genius huh?

Next up:
-try and beat a Big Team through something other than Catenaccio

can shitlegri do it?? The OBVIOUS beckons and it seems DAUNTING!!!.tune in same dru time same dru channel :)

Don't wanna bash Leo and Carlo, cause it's not about coaching only (squad deep also), but did you remember what an injury-crisis Milan was like?

Ok, there was two draws in last three games, but teams performance didn't fall to the pathetic level of the previous season now. And we are currently playing without a midfield + two defenders. The team is playing on a similar style - looking like Milan - it doesn't matter the players and the tactics (who changed just slightly). This is a good job from Allegri, one can see his hand there.

I'm still not happy with a big injury crisis every season, it's not normal for another top clubs, it shouldn't be for Milan. But since it looks inevitable, I'm happy that at least we have more squad depth this season and are putting acceptable performances even without all those players on the field + Allegri achieving his ideas nonetheless.

you remind me of mike tyson. Using big words you don't know what they mean

Good one:D

@Dru : you remind of Madrid fans when they were asking to sack Cappelo.Allegri`s job is to make Milan win trophies,so far his on track.So why do you have to spur your shit all over the place,when the man is doing his job?

Here`s a list since you love them so much:

Serie A : first place & winter champs,were on track.
Champions league : qualified for the next phase .
Coppa Italia: same as CL.(not that i particulary care about this trophy)

Dru will enter in a second and go "Door Bolt" :D Not meaning to offend, Dru.

People love Mourinho around here and Allegri is just a more youth oriented Mourinho. Their teams can defend well, counter well, work hard but Allegri also promotes youth while Mou settles for older players.

Well he did play them from pre season,so lets just say he recognizes potential when he sees it,and doesnt overplay it like Wenger.

Man what fertygo is trying to say is, if there were no midfield injuries to KPB and gattuso or even flamini, you would not get to see Merkel/Strasser the entire season, trust me, may be a late sub in a Coppa Italia match, but no where else.
So please stop giving Allegri the credit for everything. He has done a good job in figuring out a balanced strategy and also stop pushing for the fact that Ibra is carrying this team. I would say that he does create chances and finishes them, but its not like he is making lone runs and scoring, these are all team moves and are expected of every great player and he misses too many chances anyways, so credit to the entire team to create so many chances that robinho:head:/Ibra can score after a buzillion misses. Credit to allegri for finding the balance.

No one is saying that mate,one has 2 starts and the other has 3.Im not expecting them to go over 5 each,and even thats a strech.All im saying that this few starts as they are,are more that happened in the past.

In times like this we would resort to the likes of second/third tier senior players but you dont see Allegri giving the likes of Janku shots etc.

And lets just put the whole Ibra is carrying this team argument to rest.A coaches job is to train/motivate& find the right tactics for his players to perfom to the best of there abbilities .Our players are doing exactly that.

This is just like saying that Ronaldo is carrying Madrid,Xavi Barca and so on.

Well Why bother anyway, we should be happy about it regardless any kind of reasons because now we can have a good backbone for the future as Allegri do trust Merkel and Strasser.
Anyway the only one that knew whether this youngster will be given playing time or not is only Allegri himself.

Both Strasser and Merkel have said that Allegri shows a lot of trust in them. And Allegri is known as a coach who likes to give youth a chance, Galliani said that when we signed him (correct me if I'm wrong here).

Galliani said that from starting next year we will rely much more on youth but that was before all of the blockbuster deals so we still have to wait and see who is renewed and who comes in summer.

Think Merkel/ Stasser prove they can soon be considered but if Van Bommel stays and Gattuso continues where will the youth players play.

strasser and merkel got playing time when we still could field 3 midfielders. credit to allegri for not being stubborn and fielding a 3-man senatore midfield, like leo did last season all the time. when we the last time a milan youth player started? this season allegri's given our youths probably more playing time than the last 3 seasons combined. does it really matter how we got to that point? leo preferred to play oddo at cb or huntelaar at rw than give our youths a chance.

So because I happen to dislike iHomo, Shitlegri and Van Bommel I'm a troll lol wut.
Do you see me slagging off Seedorf like 90% of the forumers? Have I complained about Robino, Prince, Papa, Mario, Urby? the answer is no. So simply because I express my dislike for a minority of our squad that I think don't belong here doesn't mean that I'm trolling.

Milano and co would love to paint me as such because he's always had a boner for iHomo....even back in his inter days. My opinion is that even though a player is good as iHomo undoubtedly is....a little more is required to wear the red and black. Thus far Shitlegri doesn't qualify either.

:o

given that you used to support manure and the merda before you started supporting milan, i find it funny that you think you're entitled to judge who is or is not good enough for milan.

Quality players belong here ;) Milan history 101.

The reason why people think you're a troll is not because you have opinions, it's because you don't have any valid reason for for them. Your only argument about Ibra is that he's supposedly a prick. No one likes a person who pass judgement like you do (unless they're morality bitches themselves).

And what about Allegri? You think he plays "catennacio", which is very far from the truth since we hold most of the possession and have a lot of goalscoring opportunities every game (and lol, most of the goals against us comes from counters).

No one is telling you not to have an opinion, what people are asking for is valid arguments, which you have failed to show.

Don't bitch about people quoting you and disagreeing, this is a forum ffs, what else should one do when they disagree with you? Grow a pair and debate.

Exactly. When I'm more motivated I'll make a long 'stroke my massive ego' type post with video evidence and whatnot. But right now I haven't had enough coffee (or time)....

But simply put the CLOSEST thing to catenaccio might be someone like bari? Even that isn't the same. We're talking 10 behind the ball and counter with 2.

Milan have really only played players behind the ball like that v. Madrid.

Otherwise Milan have pressed the other half (complete opposite of catenaccio, which is to sit back and close space, not aggressive push for it) and attacked in numbers with many runs from midfield. It's not allegri's tactics fault no one in our midfield can consistently finish. The sheer number of runs made by flamini, boateng, gattuso, ambrosini, seedorf and basically whoever plays mezz'ala role is way more then we ever saw CMs make under Carlo or Leo.

If Allegri was given a player like Lampard or Hamsik (hard working CM, who can finish) to play those roles, they'd probably have 7-10 goals by now in league.

And that's just addressing the midfield, the forward movement again, not catenaccio. No catenaccio team plays a 3 forward line, which we have every game except when we had injuries which forced a 2 forward set up. And even then Boateng played a bit of a wide forward role, just out of position
