Nice to see so little changes lately
I’m going to predict a 2-0
Calhagnolu will score two goals
Please let’s sell abate and Antonelli. They are always injured…no sub full backs for the match. It is really irritating
Agree. We wiil sign Strinic
Is difficult to say with certainty that Milan can win this,am so scared
Arsenal can not use Auba. Lacazette is injured
Scared of who? Welbeck?
Never that not possible how can we be sceard of welbeck
When we took care of Dzeko
They are toothless up front and don’t even have Bellerin in defense. Even the most pessimistic person should be able to predict a positive result for us.
we can win this game am very sure
Milan will win 3-0
Milan definitely killing Arsenal tomorrow.. This team has really changed under Gattuso, and I’m starting to regain confidence in them. It just saddens me that we have just Zapata on the bench for defense.
Milan is going to win by 4-1 trust me that’s correct scores
The only certain in life is death. We should be humble and show some respect to Arsenal. No game is won on paper.
Gattuso is smart enough to remind the team to stay focus and humble and so should we.
Well put mate.
Despite their form, I’m incredibly nervous. All the best for tomorrow!
Exactly. I am a bit nervous too because its not as easy as some people think. On a good day Arsenal can compete with the best.
@nick, yeah and it wuold be typical if they geared up now all of a sudden, but it’s not very likely to be honest…hopefully.
@Nas, I hope you’re right man! Yeah their pace could prove to be a problem, especially on RicRod’s flank, however, we’ve been up against Felipe Anderson’s pace to mention someone and coped well.
Can’t wait for this one I know it’s only the Mickey Mouse European cup but when it gets to this stage there’s some big big clubs in it and every game is like the champions league
I’d love to be in the San Siro tonight the place will be rocking
I’ll be watching on BT Sport 2 which is an English t.v. station and for anyone who doesn’t have it just download Mobdro on any android device, sit back and enjoy
Forza Milan
I’m not nervous at all to be honest, I think the way we’ve being playing lately will be too much for Arsenal especially with how they’ve been playing If I did have a concern it would only be that we’ve very little experience of playing an English team and how there game is of a much faster tempo than what we’re used to but I think Biglia will slow things down and it’s important that he has a good game, Arsenal can be quite soft so Kessie should boss things in the middle there also missing some really important players… Read more »
Bellerin?
That’s him thanks mate
True, im also really nervous. I think the most important thing tomorrow is not conceding an away goal, then we will be in a good position to qualify.
Hey good comments, I am absolutely not nervous. I think I nerved out last weekend with the Inter game. This starts already on the Monday before and gets his peak on the Sunday afternoon. Only this time it disappeared after the terrible news of Astori RIP. I feel actually very confident about this game but Milanista121 you’re right. It would be very typical Arsenal turns around the things tonight against us. We did the same against Inter, so wouldn’t they? @Nick, yes I think too Gattuso is smart enough to remind the team to stay focus and humble and so… Read more »
Games are being won on papers … If man city are to meet arsenal 200 times this season… Man city will beat them… Nothing but a win for Milan at the San siro ,we can make mistake
1-0 win is enough for me.
1 is not enough at least 2 goals to nil is enough forza milan
hmmm am nervous arsenal on they day there play good football is not what anybody can just write off they are top team so any thing can happen but with the faith I have on my lads we will triumph just faith the fact am not certain but sure we will win. no sentiment here because it’s not sure for anybody form or no form only death is inevitable forza Milan
On a totally different subject but did anyone see Juventus v Spurs?
Chiellini gave a masterclass in defending tonight
Now Milan defended is better than Juve I think, coz they only chiellini but we have Roma n Bonu who r at good form now, so play Italian style n rest of it is luck……..
Bena tia has been the best defender in Serie A this season. Our defenceman have only played well in 2018.
I honestly don’t watch arsenal often but I did tune into their last game against Brighton. Based on that and a few other matches I’ve seen, they are a very forward thinking team and don’t go backwards often. A lot of drilled passes through the middle to their forward players to try to bypass the midfield against Brighton. Fast and direct like a lot of premier league teams. They play fast and constantly try to attack and I hope the team can adjust to this. That is my biggest worry is that the speed of their game will put us… Read more »
You took every word out my mouth:)
Yes again Brighton.. Do you watch their matches against man city ,they met 3 times this season and its like Barca playing seria C team
In God’s grace, its a 3-0 win for Milan. Good luck.
Trust me guys I don’t see us beating arsenal best result will be a draw ,but if we beat them then our season will just shine more but its a 50-50 thing to me ,,but win or loss for a Milan
You must be an INTER FAN
I am glad that lot of milan fans see only victory today……i am hoping too
But premier league is so different to seria a…….more speed in play, faster players
aresenal will be dangerous definetelly……so please be patient in your comments
nevertheless, forza milan
stop been sentimental arsenal are not in good form doesn’t mean they won’t play what they know best is a 50.50 thing either way Milan could win arsenal could win but of course I want our boys to win.and win well so we can enjoy our season juventus defeated tothetham and I believe we can win without conceiving hopefully heart cross which them best of luck.
Well well well…. Like I have been saying for the past few days… I am convinced Milan will give Arsenal an ass whooping tonight and I am not a bit nervous… I am also not seeing Arsenal scoring a goal and this my conviction has nothing at all to do with Arsenals form, but STATE OF MIND OF THE PLAYERS…. The STATE OF MIND of Milan’s players is by far in tune than that of Arsenal’s, nothing at all to do with FORM, it’s all in the heads of the players…. I see Milan scoring 3 goals, 2 in the… Read more »
Bro, I know you have a solid basis and ground for what you say, so I really hope you’re right!! Regarding the state of mind, it’s absolutely true, as they’re weak mentally. As long as our players give their all, we can get something out of this, for sure.
Nice to see you back here btw!
Yes bro… It’s going to be more of a MENTAL game than PHYSICAL…. This is the angle I see this game from… Our players just need to give their all, and I trust they will cause Gattuso won’t sit down for a second, that thing really has a big effect on them, it’s always like we have an extra man on the pitch… And thanks bro….
Welcome back Haso 112
Ya I think there’s big trouble in the Arsenal locker room and Wenger has lost the players while we’re the total opposite and firing on all cylinders
2-0 will do nicely but a 3-0 would be a fantastic result but let’s not forget Deportivo Le Corona in the champions league or Arsenal for that matter
We had a great first leg lead only for Deportivo to knock us out and we barely scrapped through against Arsenal
It is true that English league play a faster game but gattuso played dis team several years under same coach,so he understood the tactics to use and formation too,I study gattuso to be a coach dat ones d whistle is blow and sees what opponents are playing,den tactics change immediately,dat is why he’s always by the pitch standing for 90mins to instruct!!! What I see today is a WIN!!! But we should be careful at the defence bcuz of cards in other to come with dis same selection for the return leg!! Forza Milan,Forza Gattuso!! And Glory to God!!!!! Best… Read more »
Milan will definitely beat arsenal….
FORZAN MILAN
All hope on God…. We will win amen
Let’s face it, with Ozil half asleep, Wilshire doddering around midfield and Welbeck blasting everything over the bar, I really don’t see what we have to worry about tonight. And that’s not even mentioning their defence..
Too much confidence in here, you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s our 2007 squad we’re talking about.
I’m sure whatever happens, it will be a battle. It’s not gonna be easy but their absentees will help us, they’re missing some crucial players.
We just need to put them on counter Attack cause I know Arsenal day will come out to play and once day do and
Day lose the ball kessie steals and plays a long ball Hackan will surely finish well. I know day will consecrate on suso and that where day will get punished . we will also need to take outside Short’s I trust my midfielders on that most especially frank.
I hope we win with 3 goals upward,without conceding
Arsenal are without Auba, Lacazette, Bellerin and Monreal according to last update
Lads got some rest since the derby was cancelled, regardless of the situation and that’ a relief also
This of course means nothing, lads need to give their all and I believe Gattuso has their minds grounded
Can’t wait for the match! Forza Milan!
European Football is even more unpredictable and for this reason, I am not getting over myself that we will beat them. I’m sure 60% or more of fans here believed Juve were practically out of CL but see what happened in “just” 3mins.
Humility is key to consistent result and even the Gatuso is warning the press and players against excessive hype. All hands on deck till end of the season.
I hope Milan beat them with as much goal margin as possible without conceding in San Siro.
Arsenal is a good team and have big starsb and we have to respect and not have any away goals !Forza Milan
I prefer Milan to have as many away goals as possible though, on 2nd leg. :) :P
Nevertheless, I vote for Milan 3 – 0 Arsenal, included 1 goal from Borini.
Tonight we win for Davide Astori.
I don’t see arsenal winning at the San siro cuz they have no top striker laca and auba are are out and watching their last four matches arsenal defends is a mess and shaking ,i don’t see them stopping suso hakan and bona not to talk bout pipo 2.0
Arsenal won’t be able to penetrate our defense, their attack is too weak. Milan win by 2-0.
Where is Milan10? Did one of his wives took his laptop again?
I’m really nervous for today.. I don’t care how bad of form arsenal are in they’re a team capable of doing damage. Hopefully we don’t catch them on a good night. Ozil is obviously the danger man tonight but don’t rule out Mikh. We have to keep up what we’ve been doing and make the most of our chances. English teams have a tendency of leaving gaps at the back. Especially arsenal. Milan show we’re a team to be feared tonight!!! The atmosphere will be crazy
After the 2005 CL final, I get afraid untill the last minute. I have confidence on this team and strongly believe they will win today but don’t underestimate Arsenal. Always there is a starting point.
I don’t see us beating arsenal the way some of us have predicted ,arsenal r a good team and I see a draw game but if we win this game I will not eat dinner,am so nervous to my balls
Wishing the guys all the best. What i want from them is to have 110% concentration nd convert any opportunity they have at arsenal’s goal area.Forza milan 4 life
gaskiya tommorow our match with be best match
