Milan 0 V 1 Empoli 10/21/2007

[PUPO]

Yesterday's defeat is still so hard to digest...
There's no kidding Milan are in real crisis now and to think that Pato and 99 are going to solve everything is a bit too optimistic even for me...
This year we have no alibi about the missed preparation or the psychological effects of the docked points and still we only have 3 more points than we did last season at this point and we started at -8 then....
I am so depressed and i should be happy because i'll be at the stadium for the next 2 matches....but now i fear the worse....( draw v Shakhtar and heavy defeat to Roma).

We did have a few golden chances which Inzaghi and co missed. I dont think its that bad. Its almost similiar to last season. Ronaldo would put away the chances that Inzaghi missed+hopefully kick Gila out of the team and win free kicks. Lets hope he can stay fit for a while at least. Pato will bring something new to the attack.

It;s exactly 10 years after that terrible season. We desperately need a creative destruction... otherwise, believe you me, we'll be destroyed 6-1 to Inter (just like when Juve beat us the same score 10 years ago, which marked the end of Milan's Baresi)....

That is the lowest point in my Milan supporting life. I seriously bawled buckets after that game against Juve and the cameras showed Baresi just standing there, dejected. I don't want that to happen again.

I tried to field Ambrosini as a striker in a situation in which we were behind

moron

jpick:
according to ancelotti we play fantastic football most if not all the time + not getting the result we deserve is always down to factors beyond our control. of course we know he's an apologist + don't listen [anymore]. you have a point regarding kaka who is *not* playing well either, but he *is* the only one capable of lifting himself above mediocrity or mental paralysis, if only for a moment, to change the score of the match. without him we are a fucking pub team.

wild:
milan fans are a gullible lot, easily led [or leading themselves!] down the garden path. use an asterisk in your name + you're passion, spend the whole summer repeating your mantra of being in pole position to sign ronaldinho + you sell 40.000 season tickets in no time flat.

do you really think b&g need a wakeup call? i'm convinced they know *exactly* what time it is, hence the diminished season objectives [euro super cup, club world cup + top 4, emphasis on 4, finish in serie a]. so while denying the club revenue + support seem appropriate means to get a message across, hoping for a continuing losing streak + midtable finish means shooting our own foot, since it would not only render naught any chance to sign a half-decent player [or coach] in our time of greatest need but also deter potential investors.

 

[*rossonera*]

ancelotti : "dobbiamo fare meglio"

his revelations are as predictable + repetitive as his formation, tactics + substitutions.

unfortunately we *can't* do better in a long-term competition such as the league because we have an old, partly injury-prone, partly complacent squad, a bench not worthy the name occupied by players whose impact is negligible because of their shared characteristics with our starters + a very unadventurous servile coach.

 

[GreatKalu]

take your frustration out on our players. how pathetic. we only have *one* worldclass player, kaka, so what do you expect?

the fish stinks from the head, people, put blame on b&g who are running this club into the ground while you are busy slating your scapegoat of choice.

Sums it all up really. I wouldn't say Kaka's the only WC player ... but certainly the only one in our squad who has genuine PACE.

As for A.'s comments, I think its pretty evident, to those that watched the game, what he really felt about the performance by his sideline theatrics - looked quite the frustrated + irritated man. What he says to the mic shouldn't be taken all too seriously, as we've come to know.

.......... FUCK!

 

[DennisBergkamp]

milan are all out of ideas
san siro is meant t o be a fortress!
no shame
no pride
no quality

maldini i am sad to say is over
the strikers are over and out

i'm shocked to see how one of the biggest clubs around has not one world class striker at all

no van nistelroy
henry
van persie
rooney

inzhagi's luck has ran out

drogba or anelka are a must
come on milan

i dont want to see shitty inter keep winning title

yeah, but that is one of the problems. guys who make runs, like inzaghi, don't make the very fast, so they don't stretch the defense, and the defense can almost always recover. some people seem to define "world-class" as those who can dribble and beat an entire defense from the dribble, but that is dumb, as if we had some players with pace, especially up front, then the balls that inzaghi just can't seem to reach in time become very dangerous indeed. yes, though, we have the guys like seedorf and pirlo who can unlock the defenses, but only kaka with any pace at all. that should have been rectified in the off-season, but too late for that, maybe anelka or someone else can come rectify it somewhat in the winter, but i ain't holding my breath.

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has rejected claims that Milan are not bothered about the Scudetto and says they will bounce back from their poor start to the season.



zoom - galleria The Rossoneri have had a dismal opening couple of months, winning just two of their eight league matches and currently occupying 11th place in the standings.

On Sunday they fell to an embarrassing 1-0 home defeat to Empoli, a result that means Milan have still yet to win at home in Serie A this campaign.

“I want to get rid of this idea that Milan don't give their all in the league. It's not true,” stressed Galliani.

“In 2004 we won a Scudetto, in 2005 and 2006 we fought until the end with Juve to win the league.

“We had an off year in the league after that, and now we haven't started well. We gave the subscribers a league title and three years of fights for first place.

“Last year there was the penalisation. This year I don't know how it will end. We win away from home and not at home, but in one recent season we got 18 wins and one draw at home.

“In the last three 'normal' years, we always did well in the league. Let's not make a drama. We have to get past this moment and we will, with this club, this coach, and these players.

“I am reminded of last season. In November we were in a bad situation, we played in Florence as the 15th placed team. Then we resolved our problems.”

I remember Gila lobbing a pass to Inzaghi which he failed to reach and control in time. Or Pirlo's through pass which he didn't have the legs for. Which is why I'm hoping for Fatso's return, since he'd hopefully reach those balls + if not, will resort to his long range efforts that we saw last season.

As for the stagnation this off season, there's nothing else to say other than Braida and Co. either were pathetic, or Big B. vetoed all their "hard work" - if you can call it that, cause being reigning European Champions + with a recent and past history to match, should make for an appetizing package to any top player. That said, I wouldn't want to see Anelka here ... just don't think he's the player for us.

To all the Gourcuff bashers :

Yes it is Gourcuff's fault he plays bad when he falls in when the entire team is sucking. I mean a player of 20 year old should be at least break down the entire Empoli defence on his own and lead the entire team of world class players...
I mean how come he couldn't do that ? We should ship him to Arsenal in January because if he can't even save our weak Milan without any match ritme and he doesn't get chances not even if he plays well.
I mean what are we thinking with keeping him ?

Last year when he scored at Athens on the assist of Kakà everybody said he was our hero, the 'new Kakà' but now you all bash him.
Support your players or don't do it but don't just support them in good times because then you are just a weak **** who can't stand a bit of criticisme....
Same goes for the great-Gila fans after the Lazio game, where are you now ?

It's almost pathetic to watch some reactions in here, it looks like you are Milan-haters instead of Milan-fans.
The results aren't good but if you are only a fan because Milan wins, then go support for Chelsea or Man Utd or Barcelona, unless they get a bad period then you have to switch again, again you can't stand criticisme.
You have every right to be mad but don't go fucking around with every player because then you aren't a fan, but a dumbass basher...
