We missed Robinho more than Ibra in this match … They need some one very mobile..who can put pressure on the barca defence. Cassano is too static and lazy to run. Its better to take off Cassano for Urbe or Aquilani and a christmas tree
GAME OVER. We lose.
We really needed Ibra for this game… and it is showing right now… we played well for about 4 minutes.
why are you here… you have no faith in milan and your arguments are terrible out of everyone on this page your IQ has to be the lowest
so we have 2-1…
2-1
Lol Nocerino invinsible..
Under comment under moderation. All I said is we needed Ibra…
*another
C.r.a.p C.a.s.s.a.n.o
Oh here goes the little baby again… Pato went invisible.
Dude you should shut up cause Pato was brilliant today did what he was asked to do. and Cassano/Boateng both were utter crap! Aqualani should have been brought up a little earlier. I am satisfied with the match, with out Ibra, Robinho, Gattuso, Taiwo this was a good match.
meh, i got 2 posts under moderation. all i wanna say is we need a truely amazing midfielder. lol. missing ricardko K!
Kaka? Wouldn’t help us here. We need a younger player.
i agree, i ment that we need someone with his style, or at least a little bit like him :P. Not sure of ganso, but maybe neymar could play behind strikers ;D
but we cant buy him out anyway :D
kaka actoually wouldnt be to bad if it was the 06-07 year… you just seem to hate kaka
Clarence SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOORF!! :P
We need Aqualani on NOW!!!!!!!
Nesta works alone.
WE NEEED GANSO BADLY, PLZ SCORE MILAN 4 A DRAW AT LEAST OR EVEN BETTER A WIN
Allegri. Why the hell he isnt using his sub.. Aquilani should be on and antonio out.
Bomel is sh*t
I miss robinho and ibra
I do too. They were badly needed here. =/
Thanks goodness he is gone. Pastry lover.
STFU please.
STFU.
Lets admit it guys, our midfield sucks big time..
LEts admit it guys, Kaka didn’t join us and will never join us. Seriously go away.
yeah looks like we kinda suck at finding a big player now, who have we got? our no. 7 can’t win a game alone, not against barcelona. we need someone better. wanted to remind u of 3-2 / 3-0 milan vs man utd, when our number 22 nearly by himself defeated manchester, which was one of the best teams back then, and still is now.
im still saying put a voteing block up and allow people to vote on who to ban giancarlo would be #1 jsut because of his attitude and lack of respect
We need miracles!!!
The match isn’t over yet.
after reading all the comments i see 2 people who lack the brain cells to be a true milan fan… GianCarlo and Pato is brillant… Not calling them out just saying that they argue stupid points and show a lack of respect to other fans
as for the game Milan can get back in this
Zambrotta had really a poor game..
Zambrotta is 35 years old, pal.
i must agree with giancarlo here.. his is 35 and doesn have half the pace he used to (which is why we bought taiwo who is injured)
Milanlook like they need a player like the oyung kaka ….not the kaka of 07-08… i would like to see jesus nevas at milan but thats just me
Seedorf you old stupid why didnt he passed it to Pato?
Watching s-h-i-t-dorf play is just pain in the eyes
Watching you comment is just annoying and painful to hear.,
you are a troll my friend have you tried decaff or maybe taking out your anger on actually fighting somebody… just a few suggestions
Seedorf had a pretty decent game. I know you aren’t watching it but he did have a good game
and everywhere giancarlo comments you comment as well.. im not sure if you guys are the same person but if so thats just stupid
we need a miracle!!!
Come on Milan, you can do it! Just 1 more goal! How I wish we had super pippo on the field right now…
SILVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If milan want to beat barca in the next fixture then all the first teamers must play. I’m talkin about taiwo, ibra robinho and he has to rest them so no serie a match. Barca are way too deep a squad. We can’t bring a fabregas, masherano, sanchez or afellay off the bench. Its like the subs are just as good as the starters.
Holy buddha… I am agnostic but maybe I’ll go religious (buddhist!) after this… where did that come from?
remember when i said even t. silva can score in this game and u said it was wishful thinking????? forza silva!!!!!!
See ? 2-2.
Seedorf anyone? Silva? wheres PIB, great corner by Seedorf
Carlo Ancelotti gave a prediction of 2-2 for this match. He should have gambled his house and everything on it.
A team with multiple injuries showed some heart… Seedorf came up big… the 35 year old still has it in him. We were missing all sorts of players… and we still managed to snatch the draw.
Barcelona isn’t invincible. I guess my bad feeling about this game was wrong…
I think earlier i saw 2 or 3 comments saying a 2-2 draw i remember rossired23 and cavey2009 for sure seems they had money in th bank lol
Goal goal goal goal i love Italian football
we still sucked, lets face it. but luck is what is improtant in the cl. we still need reinforcments in the winter transfer market. face IT GUYS!
chill out. We need to recover some of our injured players before talking about that. You know Ibra, Robinho… and I hope Boateng is alright.
yep yep, i’d still hope to see a player with fantastic ball control, high-speed and excellent acceleration. Great passing and fantastic shots & finishing. Who does it remind me of, that had played for Milan? hmm… only one guy comes to my mind. Now we need to find a new version of him. I wonder, whether the 10 milion spent on El Sharaawy will be wasted, and simply thrown out. This guy should simply be given a chance to develop…
We have to stop living in the past with Kaka. I think El Sharaawy will get his chance. We will see what happens. We need to recover some of our other players soon. This was a match of character. We suffered, but hit them where it hurt.
Forza forza forza forza forza forza Italian football is the best.
THIAGO SILVA PLAYED BY SEEDORF FRACK YOU ALL FORZA MILAN
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
PATO AND SILVA ARE THE BEST.. FORZA MILAN!
best in Italy now we best in the world
WHO SAYS WE WILL BE RAPED BY DWARFS??? EAT YOUR F-KING WORDS!!!!
I am the happiest guy out here forza forza forza i am losing my head,thank God
YES! I dont have to where a inter shirt tomorrow in school :)
PATO AND SILVA EAT CRAPLONA! THEY ARE THE BEST. PATO AND SILVA SHOULD STAY IN MILAN FOREVER. THEY ARE NOT FOR SALE EVEN FOR 999990000000 millians.. FORZA MILAN
EVERYONE PLAYED WELL…LET CELEBRATE ALL MILANISTAS WE ARE THE BEST
FORZA MILAN! This goal made me so happy! Happy for silva and the whole rossoneri squad! You fought well and showed us heart. Defense did a great job, being under pressure almost 90minutes isn’t easy. Let’s face it, we need improve our midfield to be able to fully compete with barcelona.
ITALIAN FOOTBALL IS THE BEST HATE IT OR LOVE IT.
Wheres GIANCARLO AKA PATO HATER????
Where was cassano???
And if we had “finished” kaka pato would of scored 3 goals tonight.
Merda allegri with his tacticts merda giancarlo for his choice of players.
If we only had ONE (ONE) !!!! Playmaker behind pato we would of killed the game.
I miss kaka, HELL with all of our midfielders except seedorf.
Shervy, I’ve been here the whole time commenting. The entire midfield didn’t provide service to Ca*ssano. Kaka wouldn’t have helped. He indeed is a finished player. And he’s played horribly against Barcelona in the past.
Where have you been? OH wait that’s right… you show up after the match…
The mas*sive id*iot strikes again. Merda allegri? How would you play this match genius since you are sooooo smart?
You don’t know anything about football. Kaka is way past his best.
