Nice. However, I think the home fans need it more than the players.

Is the Curva empty?

That was not a good half. Gila was onside!

Anyone watching online? Truesport on sopcast doesn't work anymore...

thanks Nammy

My feed cut out during stoppage time of the half, but I presume I didn't miss anything. It's a fairly even match overall. The first 5 minutes were poor, we looked nervous and shaky and luckily for us Trezeguet didn't take his chances. After that was a big improvement, we're controlling play and dominating, but at this point we're lacking in the final third.

We need to have the fullbacks push further up when we attack, right now they aren't involved enough (neither is looking too great anyway). If we do that Seedorf, Kaka and Gila have an extra man to support out wide (we're trying to use Kaka to get down the channels, but he alone isn't enough). Additionally, a little more movement would really hurt Juve. However, with the Juve defence pressing high up the field, we can surely get the odd break (Gila was called offside once when on).

Nesta deserves a special mention, he's simply majestic tonight.

FORZA MILAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is definantly issues in our midfield. What we see again and again is the defenders that try to pass all the way to Gila or Kaka in front, which puts them in ackward positions mostly down at the cornerflag against 2 defenders. Pirlo has been man marked out of the most of the game, and Ambrosini and Gattuso just arent giving the passing options when we have the ball (though they have been doing a decent job in defense). Also I believe that Ancelotti should push Seedorf a bit deeper when we have the ball, instead of him being in the trequartista role and Kaka acting like a striker. We need to bring our midfield back into the match, and frankly, I think getting Gourcuff in for Gattuso would be the way to do it. It's a bit of a gamble defensively, but we are playing on the San Siro, and despite this seasons "curse" there we should be the team going for the win regardless of whos on the other side of the pitch.

Dev, were you watching on truesport? It doesn't look like it's going to come back....

Np, good luck getting them to work well!

Yeah, it's not looking good. I'm frantically looking for an alternative that's working

omg, the commentators on bet365 are talking with mics on again in the halftime .. the guy just started singing haha

SIPTV seems to be working for me, but looks like you need a pretty good connection (it's just showing highlights of other matches right now, but hopefully it's just for the half time period).
