YES IBRAA
ok we are 1up seadorf can rest on merkel then mesbah
GOL GOL GOL GOL GOAAALLLL!!!!!
superb pass by Ambrosini, yeah
I agree with all of you guys that say Urby should play as a LB. I HOPE Allegri will realize that after today!
aww SES…:(
ya but we need a permenant LB.u can’t expect urby to play LB against bigger teams
Now Ambro with a beautiful pass for Ibra, nice finish. Urby is doing fine on the flank…
Wow look at Ambrosini, with his killer pa.ss!
Haha
emmanuelson plays great as LB! i hope max never plays him as trequarista again. anyway robinho is underperforming today :(
Guys could you please let me know how the match is going ?? are we playing well ?
gooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllll!!!!
haha SES miss the he assist………….
goaal…robinho
i’m pretty impressed with el shaarawy! truly pure quality! congratz robiiii!
Great Goal –
Get Merkel on NOW and Mesbah on in 5minutes.
Finish the game Allegri — don’t be afraid.
el shaarawy comes in and the game completely changes…WOW!!!
except for the derby nocerino has been world class in every game
haha – notice how Emanuelson just played at the LB position…he’s pretty good there.
(has he been playing there since SES came on? just started watching)
silly foul by ambro…he’s had an amazing game tough
Remember when we were amazed by Pato when he was 19 years old, I hope our shaarawy becomes better than him!
Dont say that, lets hope the best for both, pato is just…….really i dont konw just hope the best for him merkel,strasser,didac our major talents who seems atleast substitute quality.
come on allegri mesbah and merkel now please…”/ SeS miss then As/sist :)
problem with urby as a LB is his low tactical awareness…
he will tend to spoil the off side trap which silva mexes nesta execute so very well
abate as well
ya,but abate is tactically better now thanks to t@ssotti
except for his mistake in the derby he has been phenomenal
nono i ment add abate to the mexes thiago list
Yep…
As soon as Allegri came to his senses and Subd of Antonini for Shaarawy and then moved Urby to LB the game completely changed! El Shaarawy MUST be a starter! He completes our system which was missing a natural CAM which he is and Urby is NOT! <3 El Shaarawy <3 Finally we have found the natural heir to Ricky Kaka :D
We have like 10 injuries and he refuses to give anyone a rest…
Come on Allegri. Use your subs!
Forza milan
IBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
OMG ibra!!!
goal ibra!
ibra already 14 goals
Shaarawy links with Ibra very well! Just two words for the youngster; f-king awesome!
Congrats guys, we made it and im sure we will catch up with Juve pretty soon
El Shaarawy must be included in the CL squad to face Arsenal and must be a regular now! he is awsome!! completely changed the game when he came on. Forget Pato forget Tevez we have Stephan El Shaarawy! <3
No mate. We still need Tevez for Ibra’s substitution or pairing both of em up front. We can’t risk/force Ibra to play every single game and I smell we’d loss Pato next season. Couldn’t agree more about Shaarawy. He should’ve been included in CL. The lad is pure class.
2nd half from Milan was very good, 3 forwards on and Emanuelson at LB I couldn’t ask for more I just hope Allegri realises this is the way to go. And Ibra’s second was insane!
hey guys i am very excited about our win and would like show my views of what i woukd like the team to be like between now and the end of the summer market: abbiati neure(free summer) Primevera gk abate(Rb) mexes(CB) thiago(CB/DM) ely/albertazzi/Ricardo ferreira(u21 or off loan)(CB) bonera(Utility) taiwo/didac(off loan)(LB) mesbah(LB) dede/ogobongo(8-10m)(CB) nesta(CB) de Sciglio(u21)(RB) kieta(free)(DM) merkel(ATK/RM) monti(free summer or winter 3-4m)(CM/LM) nocerino(B2B) flamini/Urby(utility) paulinho(8-10m)(DM) KpB(B2B) Stephen(SS/ATK) pato(ST) ibra(ST) bhino(SS/ATK) cassano(utility) Paloschi/Mattia Destro(0ff loan or 6m)(ST) a mixture of the young, old and middle age and it should cost the entire value of tevez and its cheap and some free… Read more »
I guess we do have back ups in the midfield afterall, but our dear coach has continued to underrate them. The only missing personnel in our midfied at the moment is Montolivo. Pato should watch his back cos the emergence of SES could push him down the pecking order. The arrival of Tevez will as we be a blessing cos he is another Ibra. Lastly our coach would have learnt his lesson never to play Urby as a CAM again. Merkel is far better than him. He should either be a left back or left sided midfielder.
El shaarawy was vital in 2 of our goals today
but did anybody realize how when Ibra is not playing with Pato he goes back and create chances??
not a good thing well this might be the biggest reason behind his low form this season
Allegri plz solve this problem
Pato eat ur heart out stephan is great . Our very own balotelli
Allegri was really smart, putting El Shaarawy on in the second half! He said he would see him coming off the bench and bringing some energy to the attack and he did that!
FORZA MILAN!
Hey Fellow-Rossoneri’s,
I was too busy to watch the game,
but saw on Goal.com, that El-Shaarawy came on in the 2nd half and I’ll guess he made the the difference,
but I was wondering where was he placed ?
behind Ibra and Binho or was Binho the AMF ? : )
thanks, and thanks to Allegri for finally start using a creative force in midfield.
Shaarawy deserves to be starter, he’s impact is greater than that of Binho and Pato at the moment.
Forza Ses,
Forza Milan,
He was everywhere :)
:D
I didn’t see the match either, I think he was behind Ibra and Robinho for some time and then when Merkel got in he played side to side with Ibra and Merkel behind them :)
i didn’t see the game but i am glad to know that milan won and shaarawy showed his class. now, everyone believes in me that shaarawy could be the new icon of milan in the future, like totti for roma and del piero for juve. hope he is not injury prone like pato. congrats milan! congrats shaarawy!
forza milan! i really miss the match review from hefin devies. his review is great.
there’s a match review by milanpete on themilanguy.com
no dought Alegri is a good tactician.great one from the guys
we should not have signed another left back but mr Allegri just refused to admit that Urby is a left back. Ppl say that he nay not fit into that podition tactically being that he is a wide man but we seemed to forget that Abate isn’t a natural left back but a right winger. He only mastered that role because he played there consistently. read or coach comment from football-italia Massimiliano Allegri concedes Urby Emanuelson is better as a full- back and notes Milan “are favourites for the Scudetto along with Juventus.” The Rossoneri may not be Winter Champions,… Read more »
no offence about paloschi, but i didn’t see that he has something special for milan attacks. imo, kingsley boateng is the real talent that milan need to bring in for the next season. he reminds me with faustino asprila, a colombian striker who played for parma in 90’s.
Wow u can remember asprila . Great guy with some technique .
