***SERIE A OPENER*** Week 1: Hellas Verona FC (2) - (1) AC Milan 24/08/2013

Even with our most "creative" midfield, we still couldn't do shit. Don't tell me Allegri's job is simply to see who plays the best every week during training and picking them before the game. Does he not have any tactics? FFS, I am so sick of this shit.

thought we created fine

i'm MUCH more upset w/ the defense.

Zapata

Both goals started with a big Zapata error

 

[Bankz]

My issue with Alegri is not the starting 11.

Its the subs.

Keep SeS on

Take Noc off

Mario
SeS ~ Binho ~ Niang
Poli ~ Monto

This is what he should of subbed with.

 

[tifosi_kaka]

True, but Mario's reputation is what caused this. This is what some people were complaining about after the PSV match; Mario's reputation as a diver will force some refs to assume he dived even when he didn't.

But when you see another player pushes him down with his hand that can't be diving right? I mean bias has its limits, when the foul committed by the defender is so obvious. If his perception on Balo resulted in this foul being ignored, then the ref is simply not professional.

So players like Suarez shouldn't get penalties/free kicks too because they are always diving?

Just to wrap up that I agree we played badly. But that one is a penalty, not given due to pure ignorance of the ref.

 

[Bird]

hah

fu allegri, why you bench xavi, iniesta, pirlo, ribery!

Yes, we all know it takes an All-Star team consisting of Xavi etc. to beat 9 times CL winners, Hellas Verona. #taskforce

 

[derpu]

fuck this team, i might just go to Dortmund, i can't watch this crap this season, and trust me i watched every single crappy game last season

Na na na na

Na na na na

Hey hey

Good bye

 

[jammin]

Lol at whoever closed the Alleger thread.

 

[Curupira]

Dunno, 3rd place... best form in Europe... form team... almost undefeated second half of season...

What about people who try to support Balotelli? Or Montolivo? Or Mexes? All were terrible today.

No one is blindly riding Monto, Mexes, or Balo's dicks.

3rd place blah blah blah, our squad was AT LEAST good enough to challenge for second with Balo, but we choked in the end and BARELY, BARELY got the 3rd place against a RELEGATED Siena side.

Our fitness plan is to reach physical peak around March, ready for the end of the season. Other teams - like Verona - focus on peaking early but they burn out near the end when it's vital. That's why you see Milan picking up points near the end and so many smaller teams start fresh but get exhausted in the end of season stretch.

True.
But I think we don't finish the season much better... I think we peak mid season, by November we pick up and by December/January/February we're running more than anyone.

It's alright guys! We'll win the future! Unlike other teams, Milan doesn't buy stars, Milan creates stars! I'm very sure that Mr. Allegri knew what he's doing! I'm sure Zapata's lack of fitness is a ploy to increase Vergara and Pacifico's motivation to take the starting line-up! Also, Mr. Allegri intentionally castrated El Sharaawy and Niang ability so that in the future they won't be bigheaded and stay on their feet! Truly a piercing insight by Allegri! Just as planned!

read the comment on quoted ffs.

are you that dense? Cmon

 

[R&B Milan]

Did you see anyone here who tried to support Balo,Monto or Mexes? Because i haven't

And it is definitely true that we need a dirty CF.

This was almost exactly the same as the games near the end of Carlo's reign..

go up, concede, look sluggish... eventually regain control only to have Pirlo at 30 yards passing sideways and trying infinite lobs into the box which the goalkeeper gets to or are shuffled out. We didn't have a nasty CF then and we don't have one until Pazzo gets back.

 

[Benny20]

c'mon ...it's not totally allegri's fault but what he has to work with is above what verona have FFS.

This team lacks too much to ignore quality wise but allegri has to take some blame for the set up especially with nocerino.for me poli gets a 6 ,abbiati a 5 and no one else over 4.

this team lacks imagination as does the coach

 

[jon]

where do i apply for the head coach position???????????????????

 

[doraemon]

why allegris thread closed?

i wanna bash that shitty motherfucker

 

[derpu]

Lol at whoever closed the Alleger thread.

allegri thread is closed

necromancer brilliant mod moment?

 

[jammin]

Also, please never pass to Abate on the right when we're behind.

It was a penalty, but Mario was diving all game (in and out of the box) and the ref was rightfully having none of it. So if he makes 5 or 6 dives per game, don't fully blame the ref if he misses the one time he gets fouled.

 

[Mario]

Once again a post praising the brilliant playboy model coach wearing suits and looking classy all the time.
Loved it how there was a 30m gap between mid and attack and the front 3 were told to stay in front of their defense.
Great tactics, wonder if they could get us a CL this season?
#taskforce

Also, Allegri motivitaded the team brilliantly.. so much pressing, running and anger! He surpassed all the expectations tbh

 

[Patri]

iunno... that one on baotelli was REALLY clear.

As was Mexes on Toni, tbh..

 

[albmovi]

Just one thing: In the last years, i dont remember Milan playing good in first 5 weeks.

 

[Ash]

i wasnt commenting on that.

-

By the way, this is why i want a CF. Teams park the bus, you need a guy who can punch a bullshit goal in like pazzo, toni, matri etc. etc.

balotelli isn't really that guy.

always good to have a CF to turn game on bench.

And whos going to provide the ball to said CF?

Unless we get a world class or really good CF, it wont really matter. Guys like Matri would be absolutely worthless

This result is a combination of a poorly constructed team and a manager who still doesnt have a clue how to motivate his players and makes the same bs mistakes he has been doing for three seasons now

I understand that, but other teams (Juve, Napoli, etc. ) start so much better. Allegri needed to modify this since we are also playing in the CL playoffs. I just hope we don't play like this against PSV or we'll be dead.

[Il grande Milan]

we are completely clueless in front of the goal, seriously, our game stops there, EVERY SINGLE TIME, next we are passing around 'trying to find an open spot' and then 2 things can happen:

1) we give the ball to abate or some other useless taskforce member who kicks it into the crowd
2) we play deep in the box where we try to pass fast, but not one single pass reaches it destination, always getting into an opponent's feet...

 

[KujaIX]

No one is blindly riding Monto, Mexes, or Balo's dicks.

3rd place blah blah blah, our squad was AT LEAST good enough to challenge for second with Balo, but we choked in the end and BARELY, BARELY got the 3rd place against a RELEGATED Siena side.

People will and people do. Balotelli's reputation will rise until this abysmal showing is forgotten. Allegri will have this brought up again and again.

People don't throw Balotelli's performance against Inter at him, but people love to bring up Sampdoria and whatever else from early last season.

Did you see anyone here who tried to support Balo,Monto or Mexes? Because i haven't

It'll happen. It's not difficult to predict future movements when you're a member and pay attention.

no kuj, football has evolved


hah, serie a is definitely still serie A. 10-12 teams will park the bus regardless. you NEED a guy on your bench who can bully a goal in in an unspectacular way. That's how you get a result when things don't go your way, which will happen from time totime

 

[dvl19i]

I don't know where the hell the decision of making zapata play every game again and again come from ...

A simple person can see that he has no ball touch , and no f**cking positioning ..

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
