There are far too many to name past & present
Which Essien we on about? because the Essien of today is totally shot. If we on about the one before the knee injuries then yeah.

The one before injuring.

At the sametime I would play only one of DDR or Essien, as they effectively do the same job and Essien like Song has been restricted at club level

my 2nd sentence was just pointing to the fact that he isnt the only anchor/regista/deep lyig play maker who played against a 10 man team this season. People get sent off in matches every matchday but u dont see these stats every matchday. You need to have quality to exploit the man advantage with this ruthlessness/accuracy.

We've yet to face a team who go one man down in 1st half. Same thing with Barceroma.



looking further into those numbers-



so he wasnt just taping the ball around, he actually went deep often


Van Bommel against Chievo

29 long balls - 29 accurate long balls
11 vs 11:o

I've always admired Pirlo's attitude and the style of his play, but damn whenever I saw him get the ball tonight I wanted to either vomit or just punch my screen, I actually hated him for the first time, with a passion (to the point I actually was saying 'Fuck you Pirlo' as if I was possessed).... He didn't make any bad passes, it was really fkn annoying.

Nothing but a former player, who joined our RIVALS. So he is a fucking prick and he is a disgrace to Milan in my eyes.

sigh... your user name and everything else is for Zlatan, who is perhaps the clearest example of a football mercenary currently playing

Ibra has played for Juve and Inter both before joining us via Barca.
So what does he become when he eventually leaves/retires?

A great player who won a few trophies or a whore mercenary?

Why dont you fuck yourself man?Pirlo gave us 10 amazing years , he was a model professional on and off the field who played with amazing beauty and grace. Inspite of being a Zlatan fan your tiny brain doesn't understand that players leave clubs all the time :rolleyes: Please show where it is stated that a fan should like only the current players of the team? Ahh fuck pirlo, noce is the best midfielder eva...:star::star: look at those deflected goals ..omgzzz he plays for the current milan team so he must be the greatest italian footballer ever,...

Deflected ?
Noce scored in this current season more beautiful goals than Pirlo in his entire career with Milan.
Am not saying Noce is better but for our nowadays Milan Noce is more useful for us.

Nah.... we got players who can do what Nocerino does. And some who do it w/o going so out of position.

If we had pirlo we'd play differently. Zlatan would score more cause he'd get better service. Like early part of last season

I dont think so.
Pirlo wasnt wanted by AL & thats a sign that he isnt needed for our system.
Playing him will mean to add one more central midfielder to body guard him which will unbalance the entire midfield , something I always said.
A reliable player like MVB in the middle will allow us fielding two on his left & right & we will still have an advanced midfielder with a bit of freedom.
So players like Noce as much as average he is still more useful for Milan than Pirlo.
And Ibra bang goals regardless :o

Maybe our definitions of 'beautiful goals' differ but Pirlo's last goal with Milan trumps all of Nocerino's goals.

Mark van Bommel does (control the midfield in both phases)

He'll never come close to what Pirlo did during his time at Milan.

Never stops being so painful, to see him with Juve.

Pirlo's free kick against Messina(Storari was the Messina man with the gloves) was class. I've always wanted to do that with the football. Hasn't happened so far though.

Fuck this guy. I didn't hate him for picking Juve, but if the rumors about trying to get Nesta to Juve is true then he can truly fuck himself.

Just saw recorded Juve vs Inter that I had missed due to some travel. Pirlo was magnificent, really.

One moment in the match when he got rid of 3 Inter players simply by a body movement sideways and backwards. Absolute brilliance.

Players like Nesta and Pirlo have spoiled me with their intelligence. I am incapable of appreciating modern players beyond a point.
