Hhaahahah you are probably waiting on the second half because every first half we play is crap anyway,hhahaha

that's a relief

Oeefff WHAT THE **** ARE THEY DOING THERE,Pellissier could have scored!

that was close, we almost conceded another one, poor marking.

They are allowing Chievo to rush them...

That is your squad of champions galliani , they are not even trying a disgrace if the second half goes the same Chievo will score again and I cannot see Milan creating 2 chances let alone score twice if we play like that again.

glad to see seedorf's labouring all the time,maybe he deserves a place in South Africa

I can't even tell whether you were joking or not. IMO, seedorf played like crap in the first half, he couldn't even control a ball properly. Oddo back to his old self. we gave away way too much space and too much freedom to Chievo players. the field was so slippery, did it rain or it was some dirty trick Chievo played on us?

This teams needs a few practices on defense. With that Pellissier chance near the end of the half Oddo almost had to be both central defender and fullback. Nothing really wrong with Nesta and Silva of course but the unit is not working.

Is Huntelar allergic to the ball? I don't want to judge him without having seen him play a few more games but he really is not making a case for himself. As of now, that 15 mill would have been much better spent on cissohko, with borriello taking huntelar's spot. let's hope he proves us wrong.

Antonini is actually doing quite well. Oddo is too, but it seems that Nesta and Thiago are doing well on man-to-man stuff (except for the goal) but they also have pushed the ball into tough spots for both Oddo and Antonini, if I'm honest.

Seedorf has held the ball well, but he's done a poor job of spreading the play. Pirlo has tried to do that, but his long balls have been unusually poor.

Dinho and Pato might have lost the ball, but Dinho is really spreading the play, opening up space, and he actually has linked up with Antonini quite well. The problem is Dinho doesn't seem to be putting as much effort as he has before, he's not chasing after the ball as much as he has the last few times he's played.

Huntelaar is getting fouled left and right, it's ridiculous. It's also obvious that the talent is there, but he just doesn't know where to go at times and it's obvious he's going to take time to mesh with the squad.

If we hadn't been scored on, I would have said that we are actually playing pretty well, except for one or two scares from Chievo. However, it's annoying that it seems we have to concede a goal before we start playing well.

I would be more pessimistic had we not won the previous two games against Roma and Real Madrid. But in all honesty, this first half didn't look too good to me.
