Milan vs Lazio - 29/2/08 19:30 GMT

lets see what happens the second half, but we tied a worse team than lazio couple of days ago with starting 11. And today with a lot of our young players were still tied..

I still think these games are very important for the young guys to try to gel with the other players in real games..

We're still going to win this game.....

Very bad first half. No creativity, no speed in our play. We look like a mid-table team. Our fullbacks can't cross if their life depended on it. You have a player like Gilardino in the box who is great with his head, and so sad he hasn't gotten ONE good cross. And yes, there was opportunities to cross. Janku had a couple that he couldn't even get off the ground. They just kind of rolled to the first defender, while on the other side Oddo is scared to try to get to the byeline, so he just crosses from 35 meters deep. I'm sorry mr.Oddo but you need to have so serious skill to be able to curve the ball in from 35 meters deep, and you can't even get it past the near post. It's pointless to talk about, yet I wronte a whole paragraph on it. LOL

Let's just hope that we play with more speed in the second half.

If either fullback could produce a reasonable cross, we'd be far more dangerous this game. That said there's still not enough pace or movement from our side.

Paloschi seemed to play like an offensive right midfield ...

I am watching Sevilla play, they are loosing to Deportivo, Alves must be getting unhappy with his team

I prefer to watch a 4-3-1-2 formation compare to 4-3-2-1 one by making Pato play on Kaka's position. I think he has all the things to play on that position. We lacked a player infront of our 3 midfielders. Pato and Palo on the right flank didn't work well.

But anyway I am really glad to see Palo come to the field and not Ambrosini.

What? Like PAOK? No........better like as a team from greek national 2 division.

I remember most vividly when Gilardino was unmarked in the penalty box, wide open, and Janku sent the ball to the corner flag. THat's just darn ridiculous.

In the second half Gourcuff should step up and try(at least) to orchestrate Milan’s game
He’s individual skills are more than good but from tactical point of view he is missing something
Probably he doesn’t have the right personality

In the first half I think that even Gattuso had more passes than him

gattuso had more passes than him, but every time when Gattuso passed the ball, I was so worried that it's going to end up on the opponent's feet.

IF there is one thing true about Winning Eleven, it's Gattuso's absymal short passing .

Exactly. Just like the last low cross by Oddo. Before he made that 'beautiful' cross, Pato, Gila and Palo had been already in one line and prepared to run into the box and jump but cross.

lol, at one point, Gila and Pato were standing about 10 meters apart, and Gattuso passes the ball exactly in the middle, to neither one of them. None of them went for the ball obviously, but it was just too funy......however right after that he run back 15-20 meters and took the ball away anyway and that's what's keeping him in the starting 11.

Gianola is coming? He was hearing to Maldini's advice (If I am not mistaken).

Seeing some videos from the game after the Seedors injury. I saw Seedorf sad and a litle disapointed from his injury. I feel that he will not be with us on tuesday.

I hope he will be alright for tuesday.

I remember that too; such a true reflection of Gattuso... lol.
