AC Milan general spiel 2.0

[The MAN]

Yeah, been reading on this and it looks like this is what's going on...it doesn't look like there's a problem with an extension, Nesta wants to only continue if he's 100% sure his physical condition will let him perform at the highest level......for him it's either Milan or calling it a day...you have to respect that either way..but we need the club and the players to do everything possible to convince him

[The MAN]

Good move to start Boateng, I'd preferred this to be for Rino

And as much as I hate seeing Bonera play, Zambrotta needed to be rested too

This is out trickiest game till end of the year IMO..after this, we play once a week again which is good...this is a game where tiredness and a drop in focus might play a role, so I hope we manage it as good as we can...I wouldn't be too disappointed with a draw in all honesty

[p_maldini_3]

we've started well, especially robinho, let's hope we can get an early goal.

[p_maldini_3]

Boateng is playing like shit, luckily as are samp.

[p_maldini_3]

Robinho deserved that goal. The build up was brilliant.

[The MAN]

Good first half so far, we've been in control and deserved the lead, good 1-2 punch from Ibra and Robinho...I'm suprised Robinho managed to finish it off, I've grown to have 0 expectations when it comes to his finishing lol

We're not done yet though, the second half will be the trickier of the two though, we might start tiring out so it's imperative we continue to keep possession as much as possible and Allegri needs to make a couple of moves at some point to put fresh legs on...I'd put Flamini for Rino at the hour mark, also Ronaldinho for Seedorf a bit later

[p_maldini_3]

Stupid goal to give away, but we can't even get back into the game the way things are looking.

[The MAN]

Seedorf should've fucking finished that FFS

[The MAN]

Well it looks it gonna be a tie, not too disappointed but we're unlucky we didn't come away with 3 points, we outplayed them pretty badly

Allegri uses the 2 subs in 90th minute LMAO

[p_maldini_3]

i don't know why allegri never uses his subs, especially ronaldinho who can be a potential game-changer. boateng had a shit game, his decision-making on the ball is horrendous and he rarely presses in the midfield. i'm surprised that he wasn't pulled off sooner than the 90th minute.

the way allegri is using ronaldinho is very curious, i think he's sending a message to both dinho and galliani that ronaldinho has no role to play in the squad. ronaldinho's started on the pine for 6 straight games now, and he comes on in the last 10 minutes only, if he's lucky. allegri doesn't even turn to him when we need some offensive creativity. allegri is making it obvious that he doesn't want ronaldinho in the team.

it was a very lethargic performance today, after the psychological high's of the past month, they looked absolutely fatigued today, especially after samp's goal.

robinho remains a livewire, and he's slowly growing into the role that allegri has created for him. he played wonderful today, and probably was my MoM.

[p_maldini_3]

of the top 6, only inter came away with a win, so we still have a 3 point lead over second placed lazio. our next game is at home to brescia, hopefully we can come off with a strong victory.

[Italiamia]

[The MAN]

Yep Roma still to play...tough game at Palermo, I think a draw seems to be on the cards for that one, we'll see

Anyways, I wouldn't bother about Napoli and Lazio, shinpin, these clowns are not there for the long run, we have to to watch out for Inter, Roma and Juve in that order IMO...right now, we have a 6-point lead there, which would be 5 if Roma win, pretty good stuff if you ask me...I'm actually feeling satisfied to see Penites winning a game, it's in our best interests to see him solidify his job security for now

[maro]

Napoli lost 3-1, giving away a ridiculous third goal, missing a penalty, and then having about 6 gilt-edged opportunities in the last 20 minutes. I didn't see the first half and certainly conceding three is never a good sign, but they certainly cut Udinese to pieces when they came forward in the second.

[p_maldini_3]

as i was saying, out of the top 6 only inter picked up some points...

[maro]

Palermo won. Roma aren't in the top six, no?

[p_maldini_3]

they were, no?

[The MAN]

You're wrong, Palermo are now top six and they picked up full 3 points, no?

[vtec]

[p_maldini_3]

everything seems to be indicating that matri will be the striker to replace pippo this january. matri used to be part of our youth setup, and we finally gave him up 2-3 seasons ago. the deal is perpetrated to be around 12m and the other half of astori. it's a shame, astori is a rising star of italian football, getting called up to the NT and all, i was hoping he could be our 3rd CB until nesta retired and then eventually take his spot. but apparently there are more things happening than what meets the eye. galliani is up to something, and we're also being linked to benfica's contrao and david luiz. i really hope that both our starting defenders are not brazilian.
