Its been a great night with most of the results going our way. Now if Merda can mess themselves up properly like they're suppose to.

Hopefully not, Christian has been a godsend this season considering our GK problems last year. With that said, if true, Dida is formerly world class, lets see if he has enough left in the tank to finish out the season.

What the heck? Favalli can't do that much damage? Didn't look serious to me.

Just finished watching. Pretty good win considering Milan didn't really play all that well much of the time. But Pippo and Pato were magnificent.

I'm concerned about Abbiati. I still haven't heard anything more on his injury. I'd hate for injuries to force more time with Dida in goal and Favalli playing center back.

And as soon as I saw Kaka out there to start the second half I was concerned that maybe Carlo was rushing him back in a match where he wasn't needed. Hopefully his injury won't set him back any.

I will not be wishing for any particular result from Merda-Fiorentina. As I said, what's important is that we won, and any result coming out of that match would be positive one way or another.

I will just sit there and hopefully enjoy a nasty and card-ridden match.

I don't think Kaka's injury is serious but he pulled him out not to risk it

Congrats to Pippo for reaching 300. The game wasn't too incredible, we were fine in the second half but generally we weren't that impressive. We did at least play a solid encounter and took advantage of our chances, much like Atalanta last week.

First half we started well and got the early penalty. I personally thought we'd look to build on that but instead like last week we were under pressure the whole first half. Little else to say about it, it was dull.

The second half was much better. Adding Kaka opened the game up a little and added a little more dynamism to our play. Pirlo was given freedom to roam and he used this to his advantage. Our play on the whole looked much better as we pushed up the field (like against Atalanta) and used the counter well.

Players...

Abbiati - Hope he's not seriously injured
Dida - Can't blame him for the goal, he didn't look to confident though
Zambro - Didn't really push forward much but solid at the back
Maldini - A good game, a couple of great challenges
Favalli - Not his best game this year, but it'll do
Janku - Struggled quite a lot against the Siena RB (forgot his name right now, but we're linked to him and he impressed), never got the chance to go forward.
Flamini - superb through the match
Pirlo - An excellent game. As usual he was stuck in a single position 1st half, but with more freedom in the second he was critical to our improvement.
Ambro - Poor
Beckham - I wasn't impressed. Stuck to the left too much in the first half and many misplaced passes.
Pato - first goal was incredible and he looked great as usual.
Pippo - Superpippo of late.
Kaka - Despite the miss, I thought Kaka was generally looking ok before the injury, which I doubt will be overly serious as it didn't appear to be the knee, but rather around the shin. Hopefully, him coming off was just a precaution.
Dinho - Did quite well after coming on. He looks ready to play and not far from match sharpness, which is good as I think Kaka will need time.

Again, I'll give Carlo the same credit as last week. He made the necessary changes for us to improve and I was really glad he took off Ambro at HT. I must say Sheva's life seems very lonely these days, seeing him on the bench.

Still, the road is still quite long so we must continue our improvement.

Inter will lose tonight, not that it means much to us.

Is Pato on 14 seria a goals, if so he might catch up to Divaio.

Where'd you read that? Would be terrible news.

Said earlier that I though he looked half injured last week aswell, looked like something with this back or something.

Pretty accurate, but I didnt think Zambro was stopping their left winger at all. Poor game by him.

Zuniga was huge.

Only this: Beckham played poor in 1st half as he played in romb as AM, which he never played in his life. He did much better in second when he played onthe right.

And aldough we changed Ambrosini and Carlo did well there, I dont understand why cant we for once start the game as it needs to be. And not always fix, chance in the middle of it.

I think Kaka must be snakebitten this season.

I can't enjoy this victory as I should because of personal problems, but it looks like the team played well ? I didn't really watch it, so I don't know. Let's hope for the same kind of performance the next week-ends.

Abbiati is out for 6 months, dixit Galliani.

Ancelotti said that new players will be needed for next season.
