Yeah, though I guess beating the European Champions (of last year) is fairly big.

I only saw the second half and judging from those 45 mins we didn't deserve to lose. Maybe draw but not lose. Poor Gourcuff at fault in some way or other for both of the goals. Pity because that won't do much to win Carlo's confidence.

That's BS. There's enough potential in this team to beat anybody. Playing too defensively and with only one striker is what hurts us the most. We attack with 2 or 3 players against defensive walls of 7-8 players, how can that work?!?

Our coach is out of ideas and has no clue how to rescue us it seems. I think it's time for a change.

The stats speak for themselves.

the stats DO speak for themselves, when you compare him to Sheva, R99, Drogba, Henry, Van NIstelroy and so on, he is NOT on that level...management knows this which is why they said that they will buy a top class striker (like every other BIG team has) during the summer, that just didn't happen

By then Ronaldo and Pato should be back...so we should be ok in the striking department.

I've been hoping for that for years (I will never forget the likes of the Leeds goal). He's had his golden period and is still a good shot stopper, but for a keeper of his size he simply won't dominate the box by claiming balls, which does wonders for defenders confidence. It's no co-incidence we are awful at defending set pieces as we have been for years, even the commentators have been saying it for years. They know Dida is hit or miss, and put enough balls in and he will flap.

He just makes too many costly errors, I'd almost rather have a less great keeper who's more consistant and less error prone. I don't think he's ever been hit top form again since he got hit with that firework vs Inter.

Forza Milan!

Dida always makes mistakes in the rain.. (Remember Leeds?..)
This is just bad, but i think we can still bounce back into this....

FORZA MILAN!

I find that we always find faults with Dida after many games, and that he's consistent in making mistakes, but the management doesn't do anything about it - or perhaps it is too late, especially after his new contract.

and about Dida...there's nothing I can say than hasn't already been said...acting like he was hurt WHEN WE WERE LOSING(when we NEEDED TO HURRY UP)...his insecurity to go after corners and crosses...

Calm down, guys! I'm not happy with this result again, but again a scotish team at their home in a shower, it would be 50-50 anytime, no matter it's Milan or Barca or Bayern.

Do you expect a goalie perform solid in the rain? No.

Did you play in the rain? Sometimes you can hardly open the eyes.

Stop complaining and blaming and add unnecessary pressures to the team.

I would complain, but not after the match again Palermo, nor the one today.

LOOK AHEAD. We're not merda fans.

I played in goal in the rain at school once, all the gel in my hair ran down my face and stun my eyes.
So yes, it does make things trickier.

well, considering Dida's haircut that shouldn't have been an issue

btw, mihan, good post

Do get your point though. Squad depth is extremely needed, and no-one apart from one member said anything else during the summer. Everybody agrees that 3/4 new players should have been bought.

Tony when Juventus won the last CL with Ravanelli, the next season you got Inzaghi and others am i right?

The players are the same but Kaka when has two play 90' minutes in the most games for two seasons in a row he can't give his best, am i right or wrong?

For the "all" i disagree i remeber quite a few that were saying: "We are good as we be now" and i remember the extraordinary saying that if we would have bought new plays the climate of the team would suck..

Tony is Ancelotti's fault? Tell me a team that has less strikers than Milan, moreover replacements....
