AC Milan general spiel

[vtec]

espn/tsn showing rosenborg v chelsea as today's marquee matchup is a joke and a half. two teams with no pedigree in this competition at all. Liverfekkin'wankscum v porto would be a much more logical choice. tln is supposed to show benfica milan, but so far, they are showing magnifica italia instead, so i hope they sort out their shit soon

[vtec]

except for brocchi starting, i like this starting lineup. bonera on the right, serginho on the left. gila lone striker.

[The MAN]

Rino captaining the side tonite.....Milan wearing all-black kit

[The MAN]

Benfica plays attacking football and leaving spaces....we got 2 chances so far by Gila and Seedorf.

[The MAN]

Shalkhtar takes the lead away to Celtic

[The MAN]

Pirlo!!!!

0-1

[Lombardiamia]

Pirlo is simply amazing when he gets to see the target from long range. His shots are so damn precise.

[Lombardiamia]

what another amazing goal by benfica!!

[The MAN]

1-1

[vtec]

brocchi is panting like a dying dog out there, i'm sure gourcuff is warming up to replace him

[vtec]

a pretty entertaining first half, though the more time elapsed, the sloppier we looked. the score could be much higher at this point, with both teams having missed their fair share of chances. bonera, nesta and kaladze have been our best players with kaka being responsible for most of the attack, while serginho and seedorf some of the worst. seedorf is having one of his worst champions league games ever in a milan shirt.

[The MAN]

agree with the above assessment, though Kaladze looked sloppy until he saved a goal with a last ditch tackle. Nesta is playing excellent IMO with some expert tackles. Serginho should be reminded he's a fucking fullback, not an attacking winger. I swear the yellow card incident probably was the only time i noticed him, he's nowhere to bee seen when we are under pressure.

We really should have capitalized on our chances and Benfica allowed us alot of space. In the second half, I suggest Gorky for Seedorf, R99 for Gila and maybe Favagol for Serginho as I think we're exposed down that left flank more than we should

Celtic equalized, I hope it stays a draw there....as long as we dont go to the final game HAVING TO WIN to get 1st spot, i'd be a happy man

[vtec]

you mean you didn't notice him on that giveaway that sent benfica on that 2-1 which resulted in kaladze's first last-ditch tackle on christian rodrigues that saved a certain goal? that was dreadful.

[vtec]

anyway, maldini on for serginho at lb for the second. no complaints here.

[vtec]

my god, gattuso has been terrible, too. i think both he and seedorf must be on some sedatives are they are constantly one step behind the play.

[vtec]

fuck, take seedorf out of there and put in ronaldo

[morra10]

I hope to see this Milan against juve. It'll make our job that much easier. It's no wonder why gilla can't score goals, no one can get him the ball in a dangerous position. I think he's only had one good chance. Other then that he isn't getting the service he needs to score. Very sloppy game today, Milan look a little slow. They aren't moving to ball quick enough. Every time they have possession benfica have 8 guys behind the ball. They need to open benfica up and start creating some more chances.

[vtec]

fuck, i don't know if gattuso's pass completion rate will hit 25% today. he is just deep throating donkey cock out there. if he's subbed out, though, we have no holding midfielder.

[vtec]

at least dida is having the game of his life

[vtec]

noticeable improvement from seedorf since i called for his subbing off. gourcuff is doing well, too.
