Milan vs. Lazio - 21 Sept. @ San Siro: 3a. Giornata

Great game. Now we must focus on the game against Reggina, not the derby

You are too sharp with the defense, we played attacking football with our central defenders having to work much harder than they would in some other team. Both side backs were upfront and took much part in offensive actions so I'd say one goal in our net is ok considering that. It seems that Jankulovski is crucial man for our attacking ability as he is the one that opens the opponent defense and gives space to our deadly attackers, also Rino was everywhere and I have a feeling that his energy influneced our mentality on the pitch, he kept the others awake. It was a great night and a night of a relief Let's just support these guys I believe they can do wonderful things.

Great result by Milan and also great game too appareantly as I couldn't watch the game. It was a brave decision and a smart one from Ancelotti when he dropped R80 in thye bench and started the game from beginning with Ambro, Rino and Seedorf. Put Kaka behind Pato and Boriello. First goal from Seedorf was attractive. Specially when he looked like a bit dancing in penalty box and before he shoot the ball to the net the ball a bit touched Lazio's player. Typically Seedorf that stab from center. Zambrotta's also stunning. I like the way that he run before he decided to shoot the ball from about over 30 metres distance and with a speed for like over 100 km/h ? Superb !! Pato's goal was a nice header and forced Carrizo to took the ball from his net again and it was 2nd good performance by Jankulovski after his great performance against Zurich in UEFA Cup. And without a doubt a beautiful goal from Kaka. Back to his highest level at that game. Inspiring his team mates. And seemed like very danger in many occations. Would like to see the duet between Pato and Boriello more often. Too bad that this perfect scheme couldn't involved R80 as a starter. With Pirlo injured and Flamini's absence seems like this formation is best we can do and surprisingly worked well. Just a little note, our defense specially in the center has to becoming our concern. Just can't wait for Senderos and Nesta to play together. All in love a significant points for Milan. FORZA MILAN

Agreed, otherwise we'll go into the derby for sure with a seven-point deficit.

Glad you know that for a fact.

You know... I'm just taking the facts into account. Abbiati may have made a mistake in this game, but he made up for it with a great performance. He's a solid, alert keeper. Zarate's shot, yes, was mostly unstoppable... I don't think even Buffon would have stopped that.

Dida was bad even against Zurich. I saw how he just looked at the ball hit the post and just then went to pick it up. If Zurich had better strikers (like Lazio does)... who knows what the result would be. Dida obviously isn't any good anymore.

Good game. Let's hope for a win against Reginna and then bring me ****ing merda!

Dida is not a GK nay more, he ios a joke. Abbiatti is right now much better keeper then Dida, aldough I think, in fact Im sure, that he should have saved the Lazio goal. It was a shot on the near post, its a thing GK needs to stop.

OMG the shot was not unstoppable by any means and any good GK in the world would have saved that shot, put aside buffon.
Merki I agree with you that Dida is a joke at the moment but I totaly disagree when you say that Abbiatti is better than him, both keepers are useless.
one last thing this defence is the weakest Milan defence i have ever seen in my life, players like Ibrahimovic and Adriano will destroy our back line and our net unless Nesta is back.

I don't think you have watch any milan matches recently to say that Dida and Abbiati is on the same level.......

Yes I can say for certain you didn't watch the match. The stop was not stoppable... Abbiati is an excellent goalkeeper. Abbiati is miles ahead of Dida. It has to do with the fact that Abbiati had tremendous saves in that match too, and the fact he's always ALERT. Dida on the other hand just stands there looking at the ball (look at the game against Zurich) At any rate, Abbiati is not useless. Your talk is not really appropriate. Milan's defense is pretty good right now... and improving. I was pleased with how Maldini played and how the 40 year old guy stopped a young Zarate in the second half and basically locked him up.

He should have covered his post better. Positioning is key.

In general, yes Dida has lost his confidence and is somewhat of a laughingstock. However, to pick on him even when he is not playing is weird. Let the man be. He was great, but now he is awful. Let's move on.

He played against Zurich and I'm picking on him about that match and how he nearly let a ball just stray on in.

Yes. That's why I wrote "in general"...I wasn't talking about you specifically.

Christian Abbiati has not been entirely convincing in goal for the Rossoneri, and another goalkeeping mistake will probably see Zeljko Kalac work his way back between the sticks.-goal.com preview...

granted it's goal.com, and kalac is a STEP DOWN, but abbiati is average. an improvement over last year, but not good enough. I'd still start him though, nless dida turns back the clock

That's a rubbish article I think... one more of their bad previews. Abbiati has been pretty good this season and has made numerous saves, with very few mistakes. He's not average.

I hope Abbiati stays for several more seasons... though I wouldn't be against getting a younger keeper as an understudy.
