abbiati is a fucking chump.

el sharaawy sucks and needs to learn some fucking humility. he had an absolute shit game, all his completed passes were backwards and the rest didn't reach their target. and after a scuffed shot that luckily rolled into the net, he dares to point to his back? come the fuck on man, piece of shit. all his touches were poor and he's not worth the 20m we've paid for him. at least pato's debut was not full of technical mistakes.

i don't know why we buy all these forwards who have no drive to close players down, the last one we had was shevchenko. too many vertical passes, and clarence faded out after 70 minutes otherwise he was just driving so impressively throughout the game.

all these fucking injuries are killing us, we can't just rely on moments of genius from the forwards to get us goals, we need some drive from the midfield.

playing aquilani as a runner is a joke. he's no boateng, he likes play behind the ball and keep it moving. allegri needs to get his shit together and start playing to the strengths of the players.

and abbiati should go fuck off already. he should've fucked off 6 years ago, i don't know how he's our starting keeper.

[vtec]

i agree with you that a)abbiati is a stooge and b)el shawarma had a shit game. however, i'm not going to shit on him for the celebration; nothing wrong with that. i don't want to say that the money we paid for him is lost, because there are bright spots to his game despite having most of his passing go bad. i would say that most of that is down to poor understanding of his teammates, but that is understandable given it was his first game with them effectively.

all the chances we created were through seedorf, basically. that said, the fans at the san siro piss me off with their dumbness as they were booing him for passing the ball back while we were parked in the final fourth. clarence is a man who doesn't like to give the ball away cheaply and when he sees that nobody is open, nobody is making any runs, nobody is even looking for an opening; he will do what is best which is to move the ball to another angle rather than hopefully lob it into the box and pray that one of our players luckily gets to it and heads it home. the only aerial danger we have is thiago silva anyway, and he's not going to come up there except on a corner.

cassano disappointed again, which is a shame considering the way he tore through the gates in the first game of the season. pippo had a couple of chances after he came on, but he tried his best to convert them into spot kicks rather than legit goals. however, had he come on earlier, we might have scored a second one.

it was a frustrating game because we should have won it were it not for tons and tons of individual errors and sloppiness. udinese didn't even create any legitimate chances and it took a fuck up from the fascist to give them a goal. the other half chances they got were from lapses from idiots like zambrotta who tried to dribble past two players and gave the ball away cheaply. we had so many plays in which we missed just that little bit of hustle or that final pass was just a couple of inches off target. however, i'm willing to write this off as just early season rust. i think this team will get a lot stronger as the season progresses and, despite all the injuries we're having, our lineup still looks solid.

Trouble in paradise . . . .

I didn't see the game so don't know how poor he really was, but surely Gregoire's right and you should be cutting him a hell of a lot more slack? Apart from anything else, it's hardly surprising if he was nervous or trying to push things to try and make an impression early doors. That's what youngsters almost invariably do - try to make things happen too quickly and so give the ball away a bit. Equally, nothing wrong with a bit of patient keep-ball if there isn't a forward pass on.

[vtec]

lol sp. way to lose it on shinners. where's that meltdown gif i posted for gio?

[The MAN]

I havent watched the game but theres no need to panic

Our injury situation is just fucking terrible and the opening set of fixtures we've had overall (Lazio-Barca-Napoli-Udinese) is reasonably tricky. Lots of big sides are struggling in Europe and I think we'll soon get in rhythm and start racking up the points, things will change. But the injury situation better ease up, this is the one thing that I'm worried about.

The AC Milan coach, on the eve of the Cesena match talks about the injury situation. "Pato? It must be by chance, but the last eight injuries have happen at San Siro"

we've got a bunch of kids on the bench today, including simon ganz, 18 year old son of our former striker. this kid looks pretty good, he's incredibly quick and has a damn good work-rate, reminds me of pedro from barcelona.

nesta is getting a rest, so yepes will most likely see his first minutes of the season.

and hopefully we can pull out a win today, and try to play some good football. taiwo might be up for his first start as well, let's hope he can keep the line and shape of the defense together.

[San Paolo]

If Milan win today we will have 5 points, the same amount of points we had at the same stage last season.

[p_maldini_3]

we need to bring a little urgency into our play, we might be up 1-0 but we keep passing between our centerbacks all the fucking time. take the ball forward a little more, we're getting into good positions but we keep bringing it back to the central defenders. putting me to sleep.

[p_maldini_3]

allegri should go fuck himself. this was a performance worth of inter. we're losing so much talent through the youth ranks because this fucktard doesn't know how to implement a good core of passing football. what a fucking joke, i wish we had lost. i better not go through a fucking game like that again.

[The MAN]

LOL I dont see how you can blame given the depleted roster. I would raise somemquestions about our physios etc as this is the 2nd season with a major crisis like that. Either way, its not a good performance but we shouldn't expect anything special with barely enough midfielders and strikers available to field. At this point I'll take the points and hope for better days when we get our million injured players back. Right now, lets get through the next 2 games safely and then the break comes and we'll have alot more options then.

[red]

If only you had a crocked 'keeper, you could have a pretty useful injured XI:

[The MAN]

Yeah, our midfield and attack are completely depleted we literally barely have enough to put on the field for these 2 areas and maybe if we're lucky we get 1 extra on the bench.

I'm not the most forgiving critic when Milan not performing, but you've got to be fucking kidding me if you expect a patched up lineup like this to play well and win in style. Specially since it's essentially the same XI playing every 3 days for the past couple of weeks. Right now we just have to survive this period till the injured players are back.

Even though we're playing an unknown team on Wednesday, I dont know how we're going to do there, we basically have only Cassano as the fit striker eligible. Not including Pippo is not looking so great now but even if we did, he's in no condition to start games yet or maybe ever again. I don't know if we can get Zlatan Wednesday, I hope he can make it, I fear we might drop points in this once and hand back that small advantage we gained over Barca...if we had our near full strength side I wouldnt even sweat this one out but now I'm no so sure

[The MAN]

On Wednesday we might see 4-3-2-1, this would be our mid and attack

---Nocerino----Van Bommel-----Seedorf
-----------Aquilani---Emmanuelson
------------------Cassano

That's using every single first team player we have left for mid and attack
