At least nocerino is not starting
Yeah!!!
poli instead of traore
happy for vergara
Wao!
i have respect for allegri but he tries to give the wrong players playing time in the wrong games too many times
So what at all is wrong with Allegri? playing Traore and Muntari ahead of Crisante and Poli.
Lol man city has a full squad. Can’t imagine what we would do to this rich club who can’t win trophies if we had balo. Monty, abate, mexes, Zapata, pazzini, de sciglio ready to play. But it is still a friendly although I would like to see how we fair with our real starting eleven
hoping for a good match today and also good news about honda joining…forza milan
Hmmmmmmmn! Fingers crossed!
Hmmmmmmmn! Fingers crossed!
Guys did you hear that Galliani offered 3.5m which has been rejected, CSKA want 5m.
Someone is gonna complain about this line up..
His middle name is complain..
Best of luck boiz
this starting line up is rubbish, i mean Traoré? Amelia? wtf…
POLI??? where is he???!?!?
I bet balotelli would love to play against his former club. To prove himself against them. A shame
I don’t blame them. Galliani is now known for being a cheap skate by taking advantage of players whose contracts are expiring..
Honda lowered his salary to come to Milan which shows how dedicated he is. let see how dedicated Galliani is!
Oh my god this is one of the worst Milan teams Ive ever seen. And Antoninis captain!!
Haha waw 1-0
And what a surprise its 1:0 to City… only a man as stubborn as Allegri could insist on playing Boateng as trequarista. This is embarrassing
The defence is awful
Tell me about it @ dejan10 . i dont care how friendly it is .
My eyes are hurting… Cant take this… Im off to watch a video of AC Milan vs Barcelona CL Final 1994.
who are these players? This is a serie c team
3-0… bring on Silvestre…
I hope you guys are enjoying the game… LOOOOL… Wack…..!!!
Second goal nobody covered constant and tracked Richards…… Everyone of our back 4 is not a starter, can’t expect them to wok together efficiently. I hope we meet man city in the UCL.
Come on man, we’re not even playing our starters. This is just a warm up!
But this is embarassing 3-0 lol
21 minutes in and its 3-0 :(
Oh God…Worse Milan I’ve seen EVEEEEr…
yay 3-0
3-0 city
Wauw… This is just embarrasing to watch.. Please make it stop /:
terrible cant watch
See all u stupid fans in their dream world see the reality now don’t say its a friendly same 4 man shity so embrassin see the mid field wow world class
Lol.man city bringin out d**k to rape virgin milan
Zaccardo is sooo slow in tracking-back….3-0 in 22min…can’t even string 5 passes in sequence #terrible!!!!
This is proof that the 4-3-2-1 system we are playing does not work, change back to 4-3-3 it works better!!!!!!!!!!!!!’!!
We are soooooo being RAPED!!!
B & G should find the cheque book, because as we are playing we wont reach the CL!
3-0..yeah Not surprise at all…Antonini, Zaccardo and a very young Vergara and ofcourse Amelia who always seem to concede alot of goals when he plays!
No midfield general(Poli/montolivo) to control Milan play from the center…No Mexes who can play the ball out from the back comfortably!
Allegri will show this season why Milan was wrong to renew his contract along with Robinho!
pathetic…
defense consisting of antonini-zaccardo-vergara-constant just won’t do. They are making too much mistake and although i’m glad to see vergara get a starting opportunity overall our defense for this match has been horrible. I don’t think this would improve by adding Silvestre to our defense and this is worrying sign of what might happen when one of our starting CB(Zapata or Mexes) is injured [By no means I am saying that they are world class but still]. Worst thing today is seeing Traore start in front of Cristante and Poli… I think even Emanuelson would play better as CM than… Read more »
Allegri is indirectly telling galliani “we dnt have soccer players in this squad”
We look awesome! I’m betting we convert a few bayern fans with this kind of performance!
… Wow. I think I’ve laughed out loud every time zaccardo has touched the ball. I hope these guys are getting their fitness up playing chase ball today.
CAPATAIN ANTONINI… FACEPALM…
5-0…
Rubbish sell b n g milan don’t embrass us more
Its 4 now
5-1
At least SES doing his magic.. Hopefully he can gain some confidence in front of goal and get back to the beast that he was in first half of last season. It’s clear that young players(AGE<23) will have to carry our dead weights this season once again like SES and De Sciglio did for good portion of last season.
N v playin real chelsea in usa await more punishments
5-0, milan are losing 5-0
Traore,Antonini,Zaccardo,Amelia and Muntari begooooooo
Pleaaaaaaaaaase take the team out, NOWWWW
35mins played 5-0 and counting! LMAO!
