thank god Emanuelson at LB and Poli starting, should be a little better than yesterday
Much better starting line up than before, but zaccardo? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
AMELIA! WHY THE F_ _ K ahhhhhhhhh
Interisting to see El Sha in ACM, who know it wil be better position fo him
Forza Milan
Finally Emmanuelson at left back, hope he becomes another solid reinforcement in that position.
Good lineup, de jong is missing tho but its understandable as He just came back from injury
Urby was always a LB and its time to start using him there.
Then Allegri can use De Sciglio on the RT and put Abate as a CB with Zapata.
I guarantee Abate would do well as CB as he is a solid defender he just suck at crossing the ball!
Use El Sharaawy as an AM or trequartista Poli on the RT..Montolivo on the LT and De jong as the DM to cover the defense..
Balotelli and Pazzini/Petagna up front!
Don’t forget about Niang up front as well. I like the way you put that forward.
Don’t you think De Sciglio should be the one in the middle?
I like that young guys like Pacifico, Vergara, Cristante, Petagna, Poli, SES, and Niang are all getting important experience. Even if it is the preseason.
-Much better first half than yesterday.
1. Urby and Niang were excellent.
2. Cristante and Vergara must minimize the mistakes. (although I understand, they are young)
3. As a team we must reduce the amount of errant passes.
-Overall, its nice to see improvement.
Its better to have an inexperience cristane in the team than a old laggard traore just eating up free salary.
El Sha need run more n more in this game.
Cant wait to see Saponara
God ooooooo
Y goalezz?
Great pa*ss from Urby he should be playing LB for two seasons now!
petagna is very very impressive
Emanuelson with great long pass to Kingsley Boateng. Kinglsey Boateng scores games first goal for milan.
I’ve said this last match when he played against Man City, but he has been very lively. Playing well with pace and trickery up front.
Petagna, Cristante, Niang, Kingsley Boateng all has impressed me during today’s game against the brazilian side. Hopefully they’ll improve further along this season and mature.
Pacifico I think is still quick to judge and considering our back four I think Vergara is playing decently well
how is poli doing so far
pretty well
Forza milan gud one I know we are not complete yet up milan
Kingsley Boateng ………GOALLLL
kingsly boateng is a beast
he should be in first team
Can someone tell me who’s played well and who has been bad. Unfortunately I missed the first 60 minutes!!!:(
now I see why Zaccardo doesn’t get any game time…this guy suck…why did we get him in the first place?
I’m sorry but Traore is just NOT good!!!!…don’t expect to see him anywhere near the first team this upcoming season
Did Traore use vodoo on Galiani to make him pay him €1.2m per season??
Kingsley boateng shows a lot of promise nd is a handfull 4 the defence another starlet shining
Hmmmm! Zacardo? Free salary!
Another Boateng?
Watch that dude Pacifico. He is destined for greatness.
The guy is the ISHHH
our youth products must be very good if they can perform this decently against a top brazilian club
Pacifico during second half was rock solid as CB. Personally he played better than Loti or Vergara this match. Kingsley Boateng, Niang, Petagna, and Cristante all showed great promise for the future and they played well while they were on the pitch.
Top 3 players of the match – 3. Petagna – very good hold-up play, 2. Cristante – some very nice passes, awesome technique, no. 1 Pacifico – extremely comfortable at the back. Honorable mentions – Urby, Kingsley Boateng.
Our youngsters show lots of promise, and they tend to play well together. I am happy with all of them, especially Kingsley Boa and Petagna, but I also want Ganz and Henty to get an opportunity.
Urby was impressive, and although I’m not a fan of Amelia, he played well today.
FORZA MILAN !!!
Guys please provide me a link to stream !
Game Ended already
Our youngsters are promising now to get rid of the dead weight they will bring down the level of play to our players
I only saw half an hour, but from what I can tell, we look to have a great future. Pacifico and Iotti look great. Both need at least 1 more year in the Primavera but I’m impressed by them. Emanuelson as LB looks awesome. It only took Allegri 2 and a half years!!! Constant also looks better in central midfield, he has a gr8 engine. I would keep them both. Cristante also looks good, especially with the ball. Didn’t see Petagna but sounds like he was good again. Heard Vergara was poor but he was playing with Zaccardo who needs… Read more »
should’ve promoted pacifico instead of buying silvestre in other news traore is still garbage
Thank you Allegri for showcasing PACIFICOOOOOOOO
My God! this is what is missing, a TOP QUALITY center back with strength, speed and marking precision. This dude made my day already with the way he played, so composed and does everything like a veteran. Please Galiani give him a professional contract NOWWWWW
The young Boateng is 2 steps better than KPB as a forward and not forgetting another very good defender Lotti.
My man of the day (not of the match) is PACIFICOOOO because he reminds me exactly of Thiago Silva. He’s a born star i swear down!
My reactions precisely…why did Galliani sign Silvestre, when we already had such a gem in our primavera…? :/
Galliani is so great at the waiting game, why couldn’t he be more patient with signing a replacement for Bonera…
Did you guys see Pacifico today? He was amazing, a real talent! The best player on the pitch in my eyes. You can see the talent in Vergara too, but Pacifico outshined him today. The Silvestre signing annoys me even more now, knowing that we had such a talented young centre back within our ranks already… I would love it if he got some more playing time, in Serie A as well.
He’s best player on the pitch by miles
Galliani is extremely unpredictable…
Let me quote Galliani for you guys.
This was on Gazetta:
The transfer chief then rubbished reports that the Diavolo were lining up a bid for Cagliari stopper Davide Astori.
“He won’t arrive. We are OK as we are now following the signing of Matias Silvestre. We’re well covered at the back.””Said Galliani, now you know what I mean????
Emanuelson as LB. WHY DIDN’T ALLEGRI USE HIM IN THAT POSITION LAST SEASON? That’s his natural position and you see that he can get the best out of him there.
Why didn’t he use him there since January 2011? The fact that for all that time Allegri preferred Antonini and Mesbah(!) always reminds me of how dumb he is.
He would have used him at the expense of De Sciglio. I’m more excited that De Sciglio was able to develop like he has.
Y won’t he just start gabriel,,,,,my rating for pacifico will be 8.5 very classy and solid
What a great game by the young lad. I really love what am seeing in these young lad, Pacifico was an outstanding player tonight, him and Cristante was my candidate for Man of the Match rhese evening. Hope they keep all this young player together without selling them, hopefully next season they will graduate from the Premeivera to the senior team, especially that guy Pacifico. All of them really deserve a praise.
Man of the match…Paciiiifffiiiiicccooooo… Gud job dude…Alegri give him change playing time pacifico to prove is quality player
Pacifico… My god that boy is talented and ice cold. Why in gods name did Galliani loan Silvestre…
Urby was really impressive as LB, hope he stays and plays there. Great pa*ss to Kingsley there
Pacifico, Urby(LB), Cristante, Poli, Kingsley, Petagna, Niang impressed me
Amelia, Zaccardo, Nocerino, Traore… Take a hike
Emanuelson at LB and Constant in midfield is how it shouldve always been!!!!!
i hope allegri will use Emanuelson as LB
Constant and Emanuelson as LB
Abate and De Sciglio as RB
and sell Antonini to Monaco or Villareal
What’s up guys I’m Pacifico and I just benched Silvestre before he even put the Milan shirt on.
Today I enjoyed Pacifico he seems to be a good player, hopefully after Cristante and Petagna appear anyone else.
Now Pacifico…. No more Veghara
vhegara ain’t ready for first team football.
