Referee: Marco Guida.
Our best players Zapata,Robinho and Montolivo.Pato who?
Pato barely touches the ball. not his fault that they couldnt feed him
yepes should really think of changing sport ! he would be much better in rugby or australian football instead of humiliating our club as he did today or with real madrid !
Forza Milan – for better or worse. A lot of good players in our squad but they’re just not a cohesive unit. They’re very inconsistent and, depending on the quality of the opponent, it becomes painfully obvious that we’re missing a few vital pieces to the puzzle (namely a LB and 2 creatives in the midfield). Over the last few seasons, one hears the disrespectful voices of Juventus’ supporters over our own at the San Siro. I know things are not going well right now and we’re upset at the mgmt, but that’s unacceptable. Professionals or not, morale is going… Read more »
I wish it ended 3-1….painful yeah but it was gonna be a huge wake-up call!!!..Constant, Monto, Binho our saving grace
the defence was all over the place, terrible marking for the corner.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND MILAN BUY PLAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
aaah well
constant is very good as LB
boateng very very bad as CAM he should play as RM
de sciglio is better then abate
we need kaka, matri, astori/yanga mbiwa and poli
allegri should change the formation during the game
when the game was 3-1 we could play 4-3-3
emanuelson – pato – robinho in front
Juve explained ,their team is super strong they have best center back in europe,the have one of the best midfields in europe,their GK is one of the best in history while their attack and lb are descent or average.
On other hand we don’t have defence,our midfield sucks and only what’s great is attack.
as for others, we are lucky Zapata signed because without him would’ve been a catastrofy ! Robinho seems like the new leader ! he’s not the lazy guy we knew in the past years ! Montolivo the true replacement of Pirlo ! plays long and short passes very good ! Boateng another bad match ! since he got the number 10 shirt he forgot how to play ! I think we should’ve accepted Real Madrid’s offer of a exchange with Diarra and Sahin for him ! Pato totally forgot what football means ! since he changed his position from wing… Read more »
We must take Yanga-Mbiwa this summer and not wait a hole year for him ! Galliani must do everything to bring him now !!! And a new left back !!!
Ok we lost…again…but it’s ok everyone it was only 3-2 so “we’re fine as we are” lol. 1. Defense still horrendous with the exception of Zapata. De Sciglio also looks better than Abate at this point. Reason i would start him at this point? He can actually PASS the ball forward whereas abate mainly passes back. 2. Midfield looks decent(with montolivo in there that is) but we still need a ball winning DM. 3. Boateng still looks off the pace…better game today but burnt out after 60 mins or so again. 4. Binho looks motivated to make up for last… Read more »
what can i say about tonight? disaster, disaster, disaster!! if milan finishes in 5th place in league it will be a miracle. this team is awful and I cant see a better future with Allegri. What is wrong with that man? He started a game without a striker (robinho in my opinion is not a true striker). Defence is worst in last 25 years. Midfield can run, but lack creativity (Montolive excluded), attack is steril. Defence: abate cant dribble, zapata needs time, yepes should retire, antonini solid. Midfield: montolivo is a true singning, he played excellent, flamini ran on the… Read more »
we have many good players but the problem it’s allegri.. because you know if the player playing in leftback, he put on the trequista… i have see emanuelson before to come in ac milan he was so amazing in leftback and scoring shoting everything… but allegri he change so many pozicions.. like monto, and more another players… that’s not good for players, if u buy a player for leftback! then put it there! or mid whatever…. i hope we buy 2,3 quality players and to start a new begining.. if we start like this.. we will lose everything, and don’t… Read more »
Ok. These are my player ratings of Today’s match *Score out of 10 Abbiati-6.5- Could not be faulted for any of the goals. Did a couple of saves Abate- 5- he played awfully today.Rarely got forward and was overpowered. His reputation as a top right-back is quickly fading. Zapata-6- He had an average night considering that he just arrived. Needs to work on his pace Yepes-5.5- What can be said about a 36 year old? He tried, but that was not enough. Was at fault for the second goal Antonini-He was alright Montolivo- 6.5- Even though he isn’t as defensively… Read more »
Pretty much agree, but would rate Robinho higher and Yepes lower. Robinho looked great. If Robinho starts to hit the back of the goal with the open shots, we’ll do O.K., even without Cassano.
Also, Constant was a pleasant surprise.
As everyone knows, we need defensive help badly.
Forza Milan!
cant beliebve boa as our no.10.dont know what has gotten into him
Hopefully this opens the eyes of Galliani and Berlu. We need signings… I hope we get Matri, he’s really good and I think he’d do even better at Milan, I really do. I don’t want Pazzini at the expense of Cassano but now it really seems like Cassano is going to leave. Anyhow, impressive players tonight, Zapata and Constant, and of course Robi. Even though Pato wasn’t involved too much, I’m glad to see him running about without any problems for 45 minutes at the San Siro. Hope to see him keep going like this. All we can do now… Read more »
u still believe in management, they know best. Hahaha. Allegri man, u gotta do something, plz change formation, ur in charge, not galliani, demand players boy.. Or leave
Santon-LB
Poli-CM
El Kaddouri-AMF
Rossi-CF
Why shd we compare our inferior team to that of juve. Juve is a team that has good mgt who have proper vision to lead the team. They have quality players who can match every team in the world. Milan will even struggle against siena. If a team have yepes,bonera,mesbah,antonini and flamini then the team is not serious.
galliani has revealed that cassano handed a transfer request
I don’t know when will people realise that Abate is overhyped player?He’s fast 0K,but his determination and confidience is equal to zero,80% end up in stands or goal out in defensive role he’s average,and he makes really really big mistakes(Inter,Barcelona are example for last season). Mexes earns 4 M a year it so much considering that he’s average.Just took Juve for example only Buffon earns 4M a year Chielini earns 3M or less Barzagli and Bonuci less than 2M and they are all better than our best defender right now ( Zapata ). Flamini earned 4M for 2-3 seasons it’s… Read more »
Juve doesn’t got good managment remember where they were couple of season ago with that managment.They were throwing a money on players like Melo,Martinez and etc…
But when Conte came he told Marota to get him that and that player.Marota bought him Pirlo,Vucinic and Vidal last season.When Marota bought Zigler Conte sent him on loan.
allegri sakd………… leave allegri. Guardiola, rijkaard. Plz. They will change milan. Better,
ALlegri is no longer good enough for us guys,we should all have seen this last season. How will a coach say we are aiming to finish 2nd or 3rd. This is Milan you moron and we must challenge for the scudetto come rain come sun
