Bologna - AC Milan (07/02/10 at 15:00)

I am beginning to doubt Leonardos credibility

Comical, 11 people from MM can defend vs Milan! Coz our players run like my father!!

Another season that is WASTED and Milan embarrased in the half of the serie a. Nice.

Dinho, Seedorf, Borriello... go and play your "class" football for Genoa! **** that...

Brk told me "++++ you Mrki" when I claimed Dinho will not save Milan... Well, he didnt.

cut Dinho some slack, he's been having an absolutely amazing season... much better than the last 3 seasons Kaka played in Serie A... he wasn't great today but he wasn't that bad..... Seedorf though does deserve to be whipped and slapped around for that shameful performance...

I thought Mancini did good today and I didn't think Leonardo could have done anything more. It was the players that were to blame, Boriello , Seedorf and Dinho in particular for having no creativity and not creating any chances...I thought the rest of the time played fairly good (special mention to Bonera, Abate and Beckham).

Milan are going through a horrible winless streak of four games and scored only 1 goal. Man Utd are going through their best form of the season playing some excellent football scoring 8 goals in the last 2 games.

When we first drew them I was so confident, now I just hope God saves us from an embarassment. This 'LeoMilan' lacks character and has a relatively poor mentality towards the bigger games.

Its not about Leo and big games, its about Antonini, Abate, Borriello and Dinho. Plus, lack of Pato.

Zambrotta, Oddo, Kaka', Pippo has experience for big CL games. Those players dont have class for that ( Dinho has no power except for playing 2 great games, then 2 ok, then 3 horrible). That is REALISTIC. Lets not create brilliant Dinho where there is none.

I respect your posts Hitmann, I just do not agree.

Players like our curent fullbacks and CF determine our game, and aldough they do fight, they lack quality. Simple as that. I hope Oddo, Zambrotta and Pato will be ready for United. And I'd play Pato as CF, and Beckham as RW.

Why, oh why, was Mancini kept in for the ENTIRE GAME while Flamini wasted away on the bench? Holy Jesus.

Well, Flamini was on the stands. Not even on the bench.


About Mancini. I think he was actually one of our better players upfront. But that is not much of an achievement.

End of the day !!
We lost our second place (potentially, we're still second with our game in hand).
- Fiorentina, Juventus, and I'm afraid to say it, Milan, all confirmed their bad form of the moment (for Juventus, it's not only the bad form of the moment, it's the bad form of the last 2 months ).
- Roma and Inter are on their way ...
- Our next opponent (again, I recall you that we'll play Friday !!), Udinese, managed to react after all their bad results thanks to Di Natale who scored the three goals against Napoli ...

Inter will play in Parma the next Wednesday and will go in Napoli Sunday ... so actually, I expect at best (for us), a draw and a defeat for them (yes, I'm still optimistic).

Yeah, I'm optimistic too, but for the third or fourth place.

Honestly guys, do you still think we can catch Inter? Come on, we never had a chance, from the beginning. Our target should be to catch up CL spots, and that's most realistic. That's the best we can do in Serie A, with inexperienced and hard-headed coach and ****ty bench.

the only good point was Bonera showed he could be decent back up for Nesta , considering T.Silva will always be super fit

and now let's just FOCUS on the champs league instead ... ( also 2nd position in serie A at least)

FOrZa Milan !

I m starting to think that Leo likes to play or give more chance to his fellow Brazilians, now I really dont want to think this, but Leo is pushing it

Now, we all know that this squad is not the strongest one, but a few changes can fix this, especially when everyone is fit, and I also think that Mancini will be a decent siging but only for these 6 months, then ship him back to merda.

Glad Bonera is back!!!!!!!!

I had to quote my self, and this was few pages back, before the game.

Some plus points:

- Bonera is back & should play as RB against Man Utd
- We kept a clean sheet with out Nesta & Zambrotta (& with d!da ) away from home
- I am impressed with Abate's work rate. He just can't stop running. But he needs to improve his crossing ability. Many be he should go to Brazil & concern Cafu or Serginho
- Huntelaar + Borriello can cause problems, provided with inform Seedorf, Pirlo & Ronnie.
- Man Utd will surely not defend like Bologna, which means more open play, which is what ACM needs

I'm surprised to see Leo getting a bashing, I don't think he can be blamed for what happened, as 2-3 key players underperformed which undermined our game.

Okay, Leo may not be the main reason of this recent decline in form of ACM, because he wasn't the one responsible for the good run as well. He is just there for the formalities.
