In all games Silva scored, so did Pato.

Yes. I am aware of that.

But it wont really hurt to score more goals would it. At least it would boost those match day attendance figures.

It wouldnt hurt indeed. But apparently my commentator said there is a unwritten rule in italian football that says that clubs respect each other and shall therefore not score more as 5 goals against each other.

First time I heard of it tho.

 

[Shiby]

It definitely shows respect to the other team.

Barca, Madrid and teams like that... I always hated that. No honor in 7-0 win just blowing up your ego.

I wouldn´t mind a 6-0 against Inter or Juve... other then that it is completely unnecessary.

 

[Kuzimoto]

happy, happy, joy, joy, joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Grazie Milan!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think they refused to score on purpose. Chievo improved their defense in the second half. Sometimes things go your way, sometimes not.

Milan got the best attack in Serie A by far, 27 goals against 19 from the second placed.
22 scored on the last 7 Serie A matches
15 goals scored in the last 4 Serie A matches in San Siro.

If 15 goals in 4 matches is not enough to watch Milan, I don't think 16 will change it.

 

[SantaFe]

i missed the game, anyone has highlights?

Never happened.

that day is dead to me

But there was apparent lack of effort. And noone can blame them and I don´t really care. Being 4-0 up at halftime... just keep it easy and bring the game to end with no injuries.

3 points are all that matter.

I´d sign 38 lame 1-0 wins now.

Being up with some goals at halftime means nothing. Istanbul 2005?
And we had Cafu-Nesta-Stam-Maldini...

Nice ^^

I have not problem jogging in the result in the second half, keeps us a bit fresher, result was done, El Shaar got some pitch time, all good.

excelent

With the Capocannoniere always on the line, I say score as many as you can. Barca & RM never let up. In life, there's Mercy for humans. In Sports, there's none.

Having said that I don't dislike the fact we stopped playing after break. It's the choice of Allegri and that's fine with me as long as we win.

As for the game, we did well, and everyone played well for the most part. I don't see a need for Urby Emmanuelson come January as we could possibly get Tevez, or an ACM?
We also will have Gattuso and Flamini back soon enough, so it won't be necessary to have him come in as an ACM when he's a LB/LW.

Congratulations to T.Silva for Scoring on his Debut as Captain
Congratulations to Ibracadabra for 100th and 101st Goals in Serie A
Congratulations to Pato for Scoring and creating another Penalty in his first start in 2 months.

This is actually very wrong. I'm not sure how you saw the match, but seeing it life showed that the team was working on expanding wide and crashing on the ball. It was a classic killing move, and hardly showed lack of effort.

In the second half, one of the most intense moments was Pato tracking back and blowing up people in the midfield at one point.

Just the Italian way really, it's not gentlemanly really, the team is already defeated, Milan hardly let them get anywhere near their goal in either half, the intensity was there when it mattered in the 2nd half, just wasn't so much emphasis on creating chances, the emphasis was in the first half, to get it done and dusted, onto the next victim. I really hope to beat Genoa now after last season's excruciatingly awkward one-all draw with them yeah, I'd rather put a few past them.

very nice

 

[Curupira]

i think its good sportsmanship to not score more than 5, i mean, how humiliating is that for the other team

serie a games are fixed, sportsmanship not to score more, induce a mercy rule or something then i got pwned 13-0 one day hell we still had beer together at the joint after the game

 

[Marcus]

Disregard sportsmanship, it's all about winning smart.

I'd rather we win our games by "just" four goals, instead of risking tiredness or god forbid, injuries. Besides, a clean sheet was nice. I'd rather it ends 4-0 than 7-4. That's so disgustingly Spanish.

 

[Ashish]

That breeds anti football

 

[OVUNQUE CON TE]

Any where I can download this game??

 

[Sven]

If you watch those Real/Barça wins for 6, 7 goals, you'll see that either the opposition bend over at some point (specially mentally and make mistakes after mistakes that resulted in goals) or they go kamikaze at some point and conceded space to counters that killed them.

Today Chievo didn't do that. Even 4-0 down they came to the second half defending seriously and playing cautious football. They improved their defending, and rarelly attacked in numbers, and we couldn't counter attack them. They did put a respectable performance in the second half, when other teams could have easily fall apart and bend over.
Sometime people forgot there's 11 players on the other side. The unusual was our result in the first half to begin with.

Anyway, I'll not write a single line more about it.

I'll praise and hype the team cause I'm really enjoying the way we're playing the last few weeks.

 

[crazy4milan]

We've always been like this as far as I remember (you know stepping off the gas after running over the opposition for a while, its to a point a smart way to not waste much energy, I think the only time I haven't seen us done that was back in that game vs Lecce last year, when we were moving all around/pressing...I assume Allegri has realiced with the team we have at disposal, not being the most athletic/fit, its better not to do it), and truthfully regardless of how limited some of our players are, we do like the tiki-taka way before the spaniards decided to make it their brand of football. T

Anyway, there's not much to say about the game today, we ran over them early on, there was some nice movement in attack, Milan trying to find ways to make Pato important by making him vice captain and letting him take corners (of which only 1 was good and the rest...eh well why the hell?), I smell the nepotism, Aquilani played well he needs to find some consistency in his game, cause he is really good...guess its impressive that Zlatan came off at the 64th and that El Sharaawy played 15 mins (though really, it would've been better if Zlatan came off at half FOR El Sharaawy...I know I understand that there's always a possibility of Pellisier scoring 5 in 45 minutes, but then again, maybe taking a smallish risk in a game that's 4-0 up won't hurt us, its not like im saying take off Thiago Silva, move Van Bommel to CB and play El Sharaawy, Zlatan, Pato, and hopefully then Robinho on for Nocerino :O, I doubt Allegri is Pep bored style to do stuff like that).

 

[Ashish]

1 point behind leaders and it was a failure season expectations
