Week 10 - U.C. Sampdoria vs A.C. Milan - The Empire Strikes Back (or so we hope)

You said :

Donadel, Saudati, Donati and Foggia? Of all of them, really only Foggia looks like he'd actually have a shot of playing more in the side than Gourcuff or Brocchi do. The rest are at best are squad players, but also unwilling to sit on the bench (Donadel left for this reason).

Donadel didn't get as far as the bench. Later you said :

Donadel was at Milan when under 20, it's only natural he barely got to play. After that he's been on loan at other clubs for 5 years, so it's not like Milan have been unfair to him, he's not played for us because he's played elsewhere. Now he was given the chance to return to Milan this past summer (probably was expected to perform Emerson's role), but desired first team football (meaning he'd have to beat out Ambro or Rino for the spot), so we simply let him go.

He was sold 2 years ago.

It's got nothing to do with my lack of understanding, I understand perfectly. It's not my fault you make silly baseless comments that can easily be thrown back at you.

This thread is aptly titled, if only because the "Empire" [ = Inter´s control over Calcio] did strike back, and we were denied a clear cut penalty.

The ref did cost us the game, but so did Gila´s inability to finish two clear cut chances...but lets add Pirlo´s miss and Pippos as well...we might have played well, but we were not clinical enough in our finishing, and this is costing us big time.

Again, the leaders dropped points, and all we were able to do, is "keep pace"....ridiculous IMO.

Carlo too, contributed by introducing Gourcuff way too late as well, and for Seedorf who up to that point, was one of the better players on the pitch...which begs the question: Is Kaka "unsubstitutable"? Couldnt Gorky have come on for him instead?

What would Gorky do if played in Kaka´s role, and given Kaka´s freedom?
