Did A shit just call Cristina a prick?

 

[Wet Ones]

It sucks that in the last 4 games we have played against Man U, they managed to score just 3 goals over all. Yesterday they scored 3 in one game.

I'm sorry but that is such a ridiculous comment. I somehow feel this is just to praise Carlo?

That they scored 3 in one game is bad? Well how many did they score in the first leg of the 2007 game?

Also remember that this time we were in much better shape this time, as opposed to in in 2007, in terms of injuries and fatigue.

In 07 we had Rio, Neville, Evra, Silvrestre and Saha all injured, Vidic played his first game since he broke his collar bone - he didn't even have a training session and just 3 days before the match we had to play away to Everton, which was a massive struggle (2-0 down to winning 4-2 in the last few minutes), and we used pretty much the same 11, bar Ronaldo, who picked up an injury that he would carry for the rest of the season.

 

[Edi]

It's not something to praise Carlo or whatever, but it is a simple fact. In the previous 2 visits they didn't score a goal, they scored 3 in 2007 at home and that was it from 4 games. Now they scored 3 away.

 

[NobodyCares]

sorry

You sound more like an Inter milan fan ,rather, Mourinho lover. ( If you are , you must be wondering what gave you away..)

manutd_fan isnt such a bad lad. He's better than the random sh*tsbags we get from forzamerda.
@Current topic
The statistics by Edi are fine , i guess he did mean away goals.
Nonetheless, that show their attack has way improved through Gooney , and that our defence is sh*tting itself.
This match was just a little warning to our on players of what can happen on a European night if you're not in the mood (Pato , nesta) The guys will step up , im sure. Expect to leave OT with a smile.

 

[theduck7]

There was an arrogance and sloppyness about Milan that I didn't like the other night, it was as if we can score anytime we want

we were sloppy at times...i agree

but arrogance? i didn't sense that at all.

if the players were arrogant about scoring anytime they wanted to, then i don't think antonini, huntelaar, pato, ronaldinho and pippo would have been so upset that their many goal opportunities weren't realized. they were obviously upset and even a bit devastated at times when they missed their chances. i don't consider that arrogance

 

[SantaFe]

the game was won in the interval time...milan was up from the beginning of the game, antonini being off, manu drawing made milan slow down...
ferguson made good preparation to cut milan off from the source, by outplaying midfield in the 2n half, and introducing fresh source with valencia...

it is vague, but our coach has yet a lot to learn...

PS...i have been reading media before the game. leo was saying that ferguson will field 4-5-1 and try to dominate the midfield and rely on counter-attacks...plus, that manu's physical ability is something to stay alert...

BUT, whatever he did during the game, did not cover his precautions...

 

[Gatorbasu]

Actually I am pretty happy the way MILAN played ... We should have been up by 3 - 0 in the half time.

2 Penalties were not give for us. One offside goal for them and one goal was a complete miskick and ricocheted of the non kicking foot.

Sums up our day and quality of the game we played ......

I truly believe the game is not over. Luck eventually balances out and it is our turn now.

 

[Wild]

We lost but am proud of this team.
ManU were very clinical but if we scored half the chances we had then we would v easily won.
Am proud with the way Bonera played by the way.
Hunt was good + unlucky not 2 score & Leo was wrong taking him 4 a washed up Pippo (read what MVB said).
What a magical goal by Seedorf , he gave a solid performance despite the few minutes he was given.
Seedorf on a good day can destroy any team in the world on his own.
I know this happen 2-3 times / season so lets gamble with him when we play Away ManU.

Indeed..as i was watching this game and seeing all the blatant fouls that were not given our way, on several occasions and i think 2-3 handballs, 1 or 2 of them in the box..i sure hope we get that kind of treatment in OT in the return leg..And Wild, you brought up some very good points too!!..

 

[hdcantona]

The "handballs" weren't handballs, because they weren't intentional, the players' hands were down by their side when they made contact with the ball, so it's not a fk or penalty.

 

[KujaIX]

can i say something. if someone kicks the ball and it will go past a player and not touch his torso or legs, then how when it hits his hand and the ball is stopped it is not given as a FK or PK. sure they didn't mean it, but the ball would have gone past them had it not hit their hand.

like with dinho and rafael. dinho chipped the ball into his hand, it would have went past and dinho would have been free otherwise, but his hand, which wasn't next to his body stopped it. this should be a FK, it only shouldn't when a player knows nothing about it and their arms are glued to the side of their chest or actually infront of their chest.

 

[Beemer]

To quote Trident, chew on this, haters. And to those who immediately assumed that I stuffed the ballot box: you lose.

Milan defeated by Manchester. What's to blame?

The choices are Dida, Leo for his lineup choices, and the team management for not investing in new players and fielding out-of-shape or recovering ones.

It's not something to praise Carlo or whatever, but it is a simple fact. In the previous 2 visits they didn't score a goal, they scored 3 in 2007 at home and that was it from 4 games. Now they scored 3 away.

carlo is a better tactician than leonardo. he was too conservative in the league and we had a lot of 0-0 draws or 1-1 draws with teams we shouldn't simply because we didn't attack enough in the league.... whereas leonardo approaches the smaller teams like you should, you need to attack them, show them you're better, and not let them get a foot hold in a game they don't belong in. the other way to beat small teams, particularly ones that "park the bus", which leonardo has yet to learn, is to let them come and attack us so they break their defensive shape and stop just playing 10 men behind the ball, then we need to hit them on the counter afterwards to open the tie. after that, the team will be forced to attack and go for the equalizer and then we will be able to play our game because they will give us more space since they will be behind. But, in carlo's casr, he is a winner when it matters. He has great CL success, and his tactics were always good for big games. We always had a chance when playing Inter (most times i always thought we'd win) and we never got blown out by them the way we did this year by losing 4-0 the first time around.

I like Leo for the league because he goes for the win which is what you need to do in the league, but in CL, I am not fond of Leo in any way. He doesn not know how to adapt to become more defnsive, he simply does not know how to manage big games. We beat Madrid based on scoring alone, not on defending, and we did it through an incredible surge of passion since the players knew it was huge, but absolutely none of that was due to leonardo's tactics. TBH, the only good tactical thing leo has done all year is put ronnie back to his natural position.

so, in summation, i like leo for the league since he's got more out of us that i thought we could do with our current swuad, and he's making good players our of abate and antonini, and he's properly developing pato, and he revived dinho.... this is where his strength lies... in raising the individual qualities and confidence of the players. but carlo is a far better tactician, he's better suited for big games, he can adapt to situations, and has proven he can win on the big stage like in the CL. the liverpool collapse was not carlo's fault if anyone wants to blame him... dida sucked ass on one of the 3 goals, and Stevie G CLEARLY dove to tie the game. Without that bullshit call on the dive, we would ahve won the CL yet again, so Carlo is not to blame for that.

WOW

That has really opened up my eyes. Forgive me Dida. If a poll comes to that conclusion then it must be true



Hope that helps you sleep better since you couldn't give a fuck about Milan winning or not.

ZOMG even though dildo is mentioned one of the three causes of milan disaster, phew didas clean shit>>> milan victory. shame.

who is the highest scorer for milan this season?? Dida but unfortunately he always forgets to which side the opposition post is

lol and how many years of coaching that Ance had before he coach Milan, while Leo is a rookie and this is his first season. You can't just go and compare them like that, how was carlo in his first season with us? we got beaten by Dortmunt 4-0 in UEFA cup in the first leg ... not trying to dis Carlo coz I do like him, but comparing Leo and Carlo is out of the question.. compare him to Ferarra that makes more sense

+1. It's a miracle that Leo is able to do this in his first year. Leo is not a CL coach, but yet we managed an away win in Bernabeu for the first time in our glorious 100 year history and is winning in France for the first time since early 90's. Leo's team may have his issues but it's mainly cos of the squad he is having. But he had some amazin results with this squad too. And also see Carlo's team vs Leo's team wen Carlo had good results. Wen Carlo's team became shit he could not even qualify for CL and we finished 5th, 5th and 3rd in last 3 years. Carlo was great for us but he underachieved with his squad. Esp in Seria A. 1 title for the squad he had was not good at all.

 

[ernesto]

oh i missed him playing for milan, saw only one game thats 94 final

only @ milan

 

[DSM]

Haha no Huntelaar did quite badly but when was he given any opportunity, he took his volley well in the first half but it was blocked but should have took the sitter. He wasn't given enough. He isn't Borriello and can't help out as much. Pato didn't have a great game so his chances were limited.

AND YES NO PIRLO. Against a 5 man midfield he shouldn't have played. I know he can pass but so can Seedorf and Flamini and I'd rather take them as they don't just stroll around the pitch and allow players a minute to pick a pass or to just allow the opposition to walk past. He shouldn't be tired since he never runs.

Pirlo runs more & further than any other Milan player every single game & the stats show it game after game.

He cannot tackle but don't mistake this with running because he runs more than any other player at Milan.

 

[DSM]

Milan probably had more chances in this game than in any other in the last few years. If you don't accept them them against decent opposition you are likely to get punished & with Nesta having an average game Milan managed to concede a couple of bad goals.

Milan can never dominate from start to finish against a decent side because the front three as they where the other night do not work hard enough defensively & it puts too much pressure on the likes of Ambrosini & Pirlo. If Ambrosini & Pirlo have a bad spell as happened between around 65 & 85 minutes with the shock of the goals & everything then the opposition team are going to get far too much space to pass it about as happened, luckily they responded again to get 4 clear chances in the last 5-10 minutes.

I think Seedorf would have started instead of Beckham if he was fit & as we see now he is'nt even fit for the Bari game & also Dida was'nt at fault for the goals but needs a break because he does'nt look sure of himself at present.

The formation Leonardo has put together works well & he has done well but the lack of strength in the squad means Milan cannot win trophies. Milan had too many players missing to repeat the overall victory over Madrid in which players like Oddo,Zambrotta,Seedorf & Borriello where very important.

2 Penalties were not give for us. One offside goal for them and one goal was a complete miskick and ricocheted of the non kicking foot.

Sums up our day and quality of the game we played ......

I truly believe the game is not over. Luck eventually balances out and it is our turn now.

What are the 2 penalties not given to you? I do recall Nani I think it was, being pulled down in the box.

What goal was offside?

And yeah Scholes goal was a total fluke, Ronaldinho's goal was also a deflection don't forget.
