Antonio Nocerino Thread

[Ash]

There is absolutely no downside to his signing. He only cost us 500,000 euros and has vastly outperformed that price tag....

I agree if we had just signed some really good midfielders as well lets say 20millions worth that also lived up to the price tag things would be soooo different.

I agree with this. This is still a good signing despite Nocerino limitations as a player.

 

[acmilan4ever]

He started off really well for us, but last few games hes looking a bit slow and less feisty in midfield, probably due to fatigue, I think hes played most part of the last six games [5 full games and 80 mins against Juve, all of which were played in just under 20 days]

Same reason I felt Seedorf did miserably and MvB was off beat at times as well.

Sure he hasn't been mindblowing, but he has still been one of our better midfielders. You forget that he wasn't brought in to be a starter to beginwith but more as a Flamini replacement....

 

[BreadPitt]

Give this guy a break, Yeah he wasn't our best player but he gives his heart and soul for Milan running the full 90 Mins up to the max.

He is certainly not the most talented but he tries SO Hard. I prefer him to any of our Midfielders they don't work hard enough.

Nope not forgetting. I agree with ya. Just wished we also invested cash in midfield starters..

 

[joyrider]

he's the biggest bargain of the serie a

he runs and fights, none of our midf can do the same

 

[MonsterKane]

Even a headless chicken is able to run 5000 kilometres per game, but what else does this chicken offer? Nothing. Same goes for Nocerino.

yea he definitely needs a break

 

[Master Smurf]

A break, really???? and we are only in October. It was Allegri who wanted to decrease size of team and Nocerino should be in his peak physically.

He shouldnt need no damn break yet. Try end of November but regardless, I dont really care how much he was worth, he is a bit part player. As I have said before maybe we will see the best of him when the others return and are fit but this is our problem, too many support players who arent good enough to hold their own.

Nocerino is ok but that is because we have been toiling with crap Flamini, brain dead Prince and an old Gattuso. We are fooling ourselves and so is management or maybe thats their game, try to pull the wool over our eyes as Arsenal has done to their fans.

 

[nuttela]

noce runs all day but i wanna see him run more tactically. that isnt his fault tho, its the coach's job to tell noce of his role. the barca game was an example of noce's tactical running. positioning zonally, keeping that defence tight. and that was only his second game/first start again barcelona, so he can only do better. right now, if he is tired, i dont blame him. my thighs would have dissolved if i were noce

 

[joyrider]

did he play well for the Azurri yesterday?

"I'M NOT GATTUSO" "I also like to play widely" 09/10/11

"I'M NOT GATTUSO"

Antonio Nocerino does not like comparisons. The new midfielder of AC Milan , titolarissimo start of this season, is not prepared to go through the replacement for Gattuso : "I have arrived at Milan to replace him, we are completely different. Last year I said I was much better technically and I also scored a few goals. Now, however, think that just a meeting. I do not limit myself to the homework, I like to play. "

From honor to be obvious hassle . The purchase last-minute market has distanced itself from the label of AC Milan vice-Gattuso who was buckled, "We play in a different way - explained by the withdrawal of the national team in Coverciano -. I like to look for spaces and to score I do not limit myself to homework in midfield. I can do everything. "

Nothing, however, against his teammate, his predecessor, even with the national team: "I - said the former Palermo - I never said I was the new Gattuso. Rino is a very strong player, but did not play because I'm replacing he or Flamini. I went to Milan to give my contribution. "

Revelation of last season's Serie A, Nocerino has not yet succeeded in securing the midfield of Milan that freshness and the physicality that you would expect: "Last year it was thought that I had changed as a player. I entered and sign, now all think that I know only make the meeting. But I do not feel limited technically . If I got to say that National is not so bad. " Then an analysis of the role: "I am a mezz'ala left." As the coach of AC Milan X 'Agostini' memory.

A second color changing, thanks Nocerino Prandelli for adventure in blue: "I went on tiptoe and I'm able to play. Here's an idea of the game, and are looking run on ball possession. Let's go well and the results show ".

Respect

Haters gonna hate

When do you people realize how mediocre this guy really is?


"Haters gonna hate" and "gloryhunter"...I'm sick of this shit. You criticise a player, you are called a "hater", you want the team to win something, you are called "gloryhunter". That's a pain in the ass. Please learn something new or keep your shit behind your tongue.

Guys
So far he I compare him with Ambrosini not Gattuso and he is doing a considerably better job than what Ambro did his age. More, he would have done much better job playing along Prince in the line and a real holding DM with a vision and passig that MvB used to be. He came as a squad player and he will be one. Saying that he was shit while he plays along 2 tired veterans and a midfielder which Al fields as an attacking option who isn't far better than himself is pretty fuckin ******er.

Is Busquets amazing and winning games if Barca fields a midfield as shit as we have? No.

This bashing is nonense as some of our legends like for example Costacurta ( and fuck you to all 14yrs old who will jump on me but never seen Costacurta play) who was amazing in complimenting a great CB and covering his back but couldn't hold a defense line by himself in his life besides a couple of games. Ambro in his prime, Donadoni was a good RM complimenting a team etc etc etc.

If someone blames a squad DM who played all games we played so far and didn't even had a pre-season with Us - well good luck to you as you already won't purchase him while managing Milan while playing Fifa Manager.

Respect brother

the guy just came and was playing in a system where he's the only one who works hard in the middle.....
give him time

he's a mediocre...but this mediocre is doing he's job in the middle... U expect him to be everywhere.

If u want to criticize him, you might criticize who bought him as well.

I still think that this guy will do well...just chill for now...the whole team is doing bad, don't u agree?

 

[LoLInter]

Nocerino is the perfect compliment to a CREATVE MIDFIELD! One which we do not have. That way, the creative/attacking minded midfielders can work with the forwards and at the same time not having to worry so much about defending.

Of course Nocerino will look really bad in a midfield consisting of Seedorf and Van Bommel.. None of our midfielders can look good with two 35 years old who keep getting continuously fielded every game we have. Our injuries aren't really helping in that case either, our squad was very limited during the games that Nocerino played. Both him and Aquaman needs some time.

 

[GreatKalu]

Has he been much worse than Flamini who has a loyal following on these boards + was given adequate time at Milan under 3 different coaches earning 5 mil a year? Can one honestly say van boss has been much better than him this season?

Even though Milan's midfield is a far cry from what it used to be under Carlo, and in need of a complete overall, I think his performances warrant more time. Besides, its not like we have a choice as most of our midfielders are at the end of their careers.

 

[damn]

i've been impressed by nocerino the only player who runs back to help the defence faster then he runs to help the attack. I'm tired of seeing players jog back in to position while the opposition are on a counter and its not just the senators KPB, aqua and even abate jog back when they should be killing themselves to get back and help.

right now nocerino> gattuso/flamini/ambro/KPB

Much worse than Flamini? the man knows how to tackle, with Nocerino I dont cringe everytime he goes for the ball. I dont think anyone here is gunna say he is our best midfielder but he certainly is our hardest working one. He is along the lines of Abate and Antonini. Not the most technically gifted but will always put in a full shift.

 

[joyrider]

noce>flam

 

[VeneMilan]

hahahahah

 

[SpartanMilan]

we bought him for virtually nothing, he has come in and done his job. He was not purchased to be a starter, he is what he is, which is an excellent squad player.

He works hard, I think he offers more going forward than Flamini and Gattuso. He offers excellent workrate and adds a lot of running to the team.

also remember he is more comfortable on the left side and has been playing on the right for us

IMO, they are about the same with Flamini being slightly better. Both run all day but Flamini has more to his game than Nocerino.

Comparing him to van bommel or flamini isn't the standard we should set to. Niether would start for Jube, Napoli, Inter. And that's sad....

As far as I'm concerned all our midfielders are inadequate bar seedorf and Gattuso. And Clarence has a lot of flaws himself tied to age, but atleast in right situation he can perform. Van Bommel is similar I guess, but he hasn't much this year. Aquilani has shown some... i'd continue trying him. Maybe Boateng too

Eitherway, I think Nocerino has been bad. He doesn't make much, and works hard, so as a back up I wouldn't complain (I'd still rate Antonini a more productive player) BUT beyond that, I'm not seeing much.

His tackling is average. His positional sense.. average. Intelligence.. average. He's passing is below average.
