AC Cesena vs AC Milan -- 11/9/2010

what a stupid game, I must say. Cesena was lucky, referees were idiotic, but we were clueless too. We lost control of the game, and let them become the master who dictate the tempo.

Sokratis is like a bull ready to charge at red any moment but often loses his own position. It is like Abate, worse than Gattuso.

I was hopeful at the halftime, but when I heard that Silva off for Abate, I was like "damn".

Abbiati should have done better; I don't think that Ibrahimovic had a great game but I wouldn't blame him on the penalty. It wasn't a bad one, just unfortunate.

There are still 36 rounds to go.

P.S. Roma lost to Cagliari 5-1. Barcelona lost 0-2 at home. Udinese lost 1-2. What a day.

unlucky game, referee made 4 offside wrong calls..Pato's 2nd goal should have stood.... Zlatan had a good first half and bad second...Ronaldinho needs to step up. Pato needs to stop dribbling so much. Robinho was good, better than R80. Ambro + Rino shouldn't start together this season, they should be third and fourth in pecking order after Flamini and Prince. Bonera also shouldn't be played as full-back again.

Against Auxerre I would start Robinho instead of Ronaldinho, and bench the entire 3 midfielders and play Flam See and Prince.

Forza Milan!

Our Midfield and Defense was so poor. They can't help in attack..very predictable. We looked a lot like Milan of Last year...
---------------------------------Pirlo-----------------------------
----Kevin Prince Boateng------------------Flamini-------------

I don't want to see Pirlo-Gattuso-Ambro ANYMORE...

in fact.. I'm not so sure Pirlo is needed with these attackers...
I'd much prefer a 4-2-3-1

Only time I'd ever use a 4-3-3 is if we do this:

Flamini/Ambrosini-----Pirlo-------Seedorf---------
--------Pato--------------------------Ronaldinho----
-------------------Ibrahimovic----------------------

I agree Seedorf would help as he can actually do something with the ball unlike Ambro and Gattuso...

---------------------Amelia------------------------
Zambrotta----Nesta---T. Silva----Antonini-----
---------------KP-Boateng--Flamini--------------
----------------------Robinho--------------------
---------------Pato--------------Ronaldinho-----
----------------------Ibrahimovic---------------


Pippo did a good job tonight by the way..

Let's just dump ronaldinho if he doesn't want to play. He just does not seem interested in the game at all. Robinho is better, i think robinho can actually do seedorf job of linking the defense and attack.

Flamini is still injuried.

&& we shouldnt be too negative. inter played like **** too got lucky with a penalty and thats it

AND LMFAO ROMA LOST TO CAGLIARI 5-1:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|???????????????????????????????????????/

Ibrahimovic
Maybe he is feeling the genuine and intense pressure of filling in the boots of one of the most clinical finishers of the world

Anyway, just face it, thats the reality. I might sound crazy, but trust me, I am not The same thing will continue & you know why? It's because the problem is WAS and is with the midfield, not the strikers. Now imagine, if VdV was doing some efficient passing from the center of the midfield (unlike Pirlo), ACM would have played much better, regardless of the fact that its Ibrahimovic-Robinho upfront or Borriello-Huntelaar.

While all the others were smiling during the last day of the mercato, I was crying & this is exactly why

& once again, Ibrahimovic-penalty ........

Welcome to the board Ibra

I thought the reason of disqualification was that the ball hit Pato's arm, not offside.

I think we're a being a bit harsh on Gattuso. He wasn't that bad, actually. Neither was Ambro. The problem was that playing both of them, like we found out last year, is a recipe for disaster.

We really did miss Seedorf, but like other shave said, that's why we bought KPB.

Abbiati's spot should be up for grabs, the first goal I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but the second was poor. He was shaky on corners and seemed to lack confidence.

Sokratis is demoted in my book, he was TORCHED by Bogdani ALL GAME. It was incredible. Bogdani is your typical "big man 9" player and was actually RUNNING at Sokratis and looking like an agile, speedy player. That ended it for me. I'd like to see Yepes get a shot rather than watch that again.

Abate is better than Bonera as a RB, that's for sure. He might have had more to do than Bonera in the second half, but, he was doing it himself. He had the energy to burst forward, but, I still think he should be playing in midfield, especially in games where the other team is trying to out run us.

Interesting.. No Pirlo??

I actually wouldn't mind to see KPB-Flamini-Seedorf....

Robinho instead of Ronaldinho...

Im disappointed with R80... he looked unreal 2 weeks ago

Agree about Bonera.. Never again as a RB.. but what's the other option?? Zambrotta? I think Abate is too shaky for Defense...

Hmmm... I expected a **** storm after the loss.. but most people are being calm and posting intelligent posts.

Great spirit guys!

what do you make of this ?
this is the ESPN soccernet average position chart of our players during the match !
where did we sc rew up ?

Sokratis was terrible.

Gattuso was okay, but he wasn't what the game needed. He was the only player that had space and he didn't use it. Seedorf would have either pulled players away from the rest or had done something with the ball that Gattuso couldn't.

Abbiati wasn't that bad.

Inzaghi can be a real weapon for us this season in situations such as this, with Ibra behind him.

****.

Man, Nesta and Thiago Silva are really irreplaceable.

Starting with the Fab Four is now impossible, but we might be able to make it work if we need a desperate goal. But we'll never ever see it from the start. Ever.

Pirlo did nothing wrong though, i can see him trying to create something but his 2 teammates were not giving him the time he needed. I would keep pirlo and ambro, throw in seedorf.

Pato is really WTF, he create zero chances. While Ibra was still trying to create chances for his teammates, Pato did nothing except trying to do it all by himself. He should really change places with Ibra.

I think this game, for me at least, might hint that Robinho may be better suited as a Pato replacement than a Ronaldinho one. I didn't see R70 create anything, to be honest.
