Palermo-Milan 30.11.2008

Crap play from Milan! Wrong pass, unable to hold the ball, not going forward, shaky defence, etc etc etc.

If Milan play like first half, Milan will lose min. 2-0.

So far we're pretty awful, despite Pato's great chance, a penalty and a freekick hitting the bar. We're not tight enough as a unit, and there's a lack of cohesion in the play. Partly as our defence is rarely pressing forward when we attack, partly because the midfield has no shape whatsoever and partly as some players aren't pulling their weight enough.

If I was Carlo, the first aim for me would be to keep the group tighter and playing in triangles (something we aren't doing, resulting in a lot of hopeful passes being made). Next get Pirlo to push into CM so that we can use his vision, rather than him staying so deep. Seedorf must get involved more and Ambro and Flamini are not supporting in midfield well enough. I would see if the initial changes work, and if not I'd consider taking off one (probably Seedorf) for Sheva with Ronaldinho moving behind the attackers and Seedorf (should Ambro or Flamini come off) dropping into midfield.

this first half was the worst performance I have seen milan play since the disaster at Riazor when we lost 4-0 to Deportivo.

what a sad, sad, sad team we are.. pirlo/seedorf have been terrible..flamini is messing up too, his tactical awareness is very poor. our defense...what a joke, i have never seen defending as comical as our first half.

we are lucky its just still 0-0. we also were given a penalty that was a foul outside the box, but we still missed it. i think we will need sheva in this one.

Why are we so bad? why do we have to play so poorly. we look like like extremely SLOW headless chickens. there is nothing anywhere? where is the passion? where is the emotion? there's nothing. i'm staying up at 2 in the morning here when i have a semester final exam on tuesday morning and all i want is a decent game. i just want some inspiration. something. some heart, some little sign of my idols showing they care. i dont care if we lose. i want my team to show that they're trying. that they want to win. i want them to just show something on the pitch. i have never complained before. and i mean never. but we've just been playing too badly for too long.
i hated the epl. they run like headless chickens too. but at least they're fast. there's some entertainment. it's even funny at times. what tactics have we seen here? nothing.

Not a word of this post is exaggerated. We sucked. Big time.

look at the bright side... Palermo have been only having a 1 good half per match, and its obviously the first half in this match

no really, i agree, aweful match from a Milan fan point of view, but one hell of a thrilling match for Neutral football fan

Seedorf hasnt been that good, and the midfield is obviously missing a great player => Gattuso

it really is sad. did you see galliani's face? and carlo's. it's apalling. terrible. we pay these people millions a year. we buy their overpriced merchandise. we give them more respect than the fans of any other club's fans give their players and management. and this is what we get for it. and on top of them some of them show no loyalty to the fans, to the team and and to the shirt. kaka also keeps giving stupid ambiguous statements.

Didn't you watch most of the games from last year and some games from the year before ?

Can't see the java applet again ...

EDIT: I missed something ... Inzaghi wasn't there at the start of the game and he was there at the end of first half, what happened ? lol
Did the referee allow us to put a 12th player because we were playing so bad ??

zambrotta's kinda good though

Hahahahahaha

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

Eat that!!!

I think today is the day when we lose the Scudetto.

Roll the credits now.

Another post-mortem of a team that has been dead for the last two seasons. Pathetic.

i'm still going to be optimistic. hope that wakes us up. please wake up. please milan.

You can say anything you want ... a game is 90 minutes, not 50, and you can say anything you want but a season is 38 games ...

It amazes me how there was no subs in HT, since our midfield has been run over every single minute of the match. Pirlo has been amazingly bad, and shouldve been replaced.

Thanks for letting me say anything I want.

We are losing points in the same manner we did last year. Inter will continue winning because of their deep squad and super strong players.

We need to be realistic. The last two weekends have been an indication that all is not well at Milan. Still.
