1.

Clearances are just piss poor...I heard Galliani is in talks with Bergomi, he's about 50, just the age we look for...
2. Kaka should NEVER be compared to Maradona ever again. Here's the difference between the two, Maradona didnt take games off, he gave headaches every game and left guys puzzled every Sunday....Today, Kaka was non-existent, I even asked my father if I had missed him being substituted during halftime. There have been many games where he has played well, but there have been a ton where I dont even know if he's in the lineup, no comparison to Diego...
3. 90th minute, 2-1 Samp, 4 minutes of added time....Samp, sprinting to the ball, trying a counterattack to finish the game at 3-1....Milan, walking up and down the field hoping to get a touch???? Am I missing something here? In the last 10 minutes the poor finishing of Vieri (what a surprise) in stoppage time was the best chance...
4. Gattuso just plain and simple has NO SKILL....his position over the past years was to hound players from the opposing team who had the ball....Has he forgotten that this is his job??? Havent seen that this year, maybe he's taking a longer vacation???? Ambro, Ambro, Ambro!!
5. Offense shows no fire at all...Kaka is failing to support the strikers which forces Sheva to run the field up and down to get the ball and try to make things happen taking him away from his position. Bad
6. Things need to change my friends....Last year we started poorly but you were able to tell it was bad luck, we were playing well but just not slotting the ball home....This year it has been painful to watch our boys and a total 180 is necessary or else I'll only have La Nazionale to look forward to in Germany!

This will be easy.
1. Your point of arguing is full of flaws. You talk about age, but age is unimportant, what is important is ability and performance. as it is, all the goal we have let it is not goals that shows on any age signs and they are goals where our whole team was sitting back. We let in goals on set pieces, that shows instead on a lack of concentration nd possibly some organisational problems. The only non set pieces goal we let in was Sampdoria second goal which was surreal since we controlled the game completly at that point.
2. Talk about Kaka for what he is, not what he is not. He is not Maradona, just like Nesta is not Baresi and Shevchenko is not Nordahl. Kaka is a player that benefit from open spaces, either in front of goal or in a counterattack situation. Problem is that Sampdoria never gave us any, by 1-1 they where with all their men behind the ball and Kaka saw no space to make any runs or come in shooting positions. It is clear though that he could have tried taking on players a couple of times and being more mobile than he was. rui Costa would probably be more effective against a team as defensive as Sampdoria was.
3. It mirrored the game, they defended well and we didn't have many ideas. Taking out Pirlo was a poor decisions IMO. we should not forget that players are tired and everyone have to take a decision wether to chase the ball or stay in attack for some last chance.
4. I agree, Gattuso haven't been his best. But I don't agree that he doesn't have any skill, he is very skillful, more than you will ever be.
No, the problem is that he got almost no clue when it comes to what he should do with the ball on the offensive half. so long he makes the simple decision all is well...
5. Sheva's role is to move back and recieve the ball, his partner is the one supposed to stay in the middle all the time. our offense is hardly a problem, we scored 3 goals in both games before this one. If anything I would complain about Gilardino missing a open goal because he was a coward, a goal that could have sealed the game for us.
6. Things have not begun in the best of ways, but I hardly see anything overly alarming. Last year we was as close as we could be and with a little luck we win this things this one. But the Scudetto seems hard due to Juve abililty to squeeze results, seems they don't even need the ref this year.
