Roma-Milan

Jim UK i dont remember myself seeing so few people in San Siro in a big game at least the last five years.

Yup, we obviously practice hitting the crossbar and goal posts in training...sheesh..come on Milan...lets try for one b4 the half is over?

Kaka in front of goal Doni saves, half time.

and now it is half-time ....

Gourcuff and Inzaghi will come on and one of them will score.

All the empty seats are those of the gloryhunters. The real fans are now present.

well what is the attendence then?

Oliveira started off bad but is now playing really well. He is getting into the game and is everywhere, creating and passing. Gila on the otherhand is diving whenever he gets the ball. He only had 1 chance from 2 yards which he managed to shoot straight to the keeper.

Milan are playing really well but are terribly unlucky. Bring on Pippo!

Oli got the majority of the chances..needed to do better a few times though.

We arent losing anything other than luck to ROMA. Hope Pippo will bring them on in second half.

FORZA MILAN

All 3 attackers have fair chances. Gila's shoot saved, with a couple of dives (or fouls by defender but referee didn't say so), Oli had a good game so far, Kaka` has been quiet...

And yes, Milan has been practicing hitting the woodwork.

COme on be fair; it's not straight to the goalkeeper.

And of course, people start to wonder why GK always play so much better against MIlan lol, and if not? the bar will save their a$$.

And I think you're being harsh on Gila..that was a pretty difficult chance that he managed to flick on goal. Otherwise I agree..he hasn't been playing too well.

Oliveira plays surprisingly well. I think he might score today . Kaka is a little bit not precise...he definately is not having the best day, unlike Totti - who does. Something tells me that Milan is going to be very tired in the second half, because they gave so much efforts in the first, but didnt score. Hope that I m wrong...WE cannot afford to lose this game...Forza Mlan...

P.S. I think that recently Milan is being very unlucky. Look even at todays game..2 bars already, and no goals. Ball just doesnt go inside....

Milan has an uphill to climb. Not just this game.

I heard that Pieri was banned for 15 days for his mistake in Atalanta-Milan; but I see that finally Messina became Roma's favorite referee.

We need a goal to get back. From the part I was able to watch (discontinuently by the way), we were fine. Not superb, but better than Roma, don't know whether that's because Roma got an early goal and decided to sit back. We were fine though, the second challenge by Mexes on Gilardino was 50-50, so it was fine that Messina didn't call it; but the first one was more dubious. And a few outside of the box too. Obviously even though Pieri was banned, the referees still hate us. We need to play 200% to secure a win; but unfortunately we often only had 50%, that's why we ended up losing many games, I am afraid.

The name, Messina, by the way, sickens me.

Well, a disappointing (poor clearance by Nesta) start has turned into some good attacking football. Unlucky with some strikes, some poor passing and miscontrol by the palyers. Hopefully Pippo will add some spark like on Wednesday. There never seems to be enough body up front/ on the wing when we need them. At least has been playing a bit better this time. Forza Milan.

Agreed.
