where are you watching it ?

Milan played a very good game, except for the defence at set pieces, that is. It is good to see they have fresh legs after the wednesday game in the CL but the defence sucked big time again - Reggina scored their goal for 1-1 from a set piece (cross from a free kick to the right of Dida and only Maldini was tryibg to prevent the goal) and virtually equalized again for 2-2 after a very similar situation but this time to the left of Dida. I say "virtually" for the goal was disallowed for a reason that became clear only to Trefoloni (the ref) and I have to say I would have felt "robbed and mugged" if this had been Milan and not Reggina. Had this been Juve or Inter, I really doubt the foul (?) would have been given so let's not make things look better than they actually are for if Reggina had equalized for 2-2 with 2-3 min remaining, the outcome of the game would have been very, very different.
Apart from these defensive mishaps, I saw a lively Milan who played with tons of confidence but yet again we played our best when Reggina threathened us and didn't manage to close the game and leave no doubt who the winner was gonna be.

Reggina's goal...is it our defence's fault?Milan's keeping me at the edge of my seat these days....Thank you for saving us again Sheva!!FORZA LO TSAR!!!

- and Sheva is da KING !

Agreed on Stam to partner Nesta in central defence.

Maldini this season has been a liability in central defence. Not only has he lost his pace, but his vertical leap too. We can't rely on Nesta to bail us out of jail week in week out, and it can be said that Nesta was not really having an excellent game today. For his and Milan's good, I hope Paolo can consider his retirement as the end of this season, instead of stretching for another year.

Baresi retired a season too late, and I don't want Paolo to follow his footsteps.

Good game by Milan!
Sheva, Kaka and Rui played especially well but the defence is still questionable on set-pieces .
Btw I noticed Sheva was involved in all of Milan's last 8 goals!
Scored 2 vs Lazio, Scored vs Celtic,Assisted to Inzaghi for the 2nd and got the foul for the Pirlo Freekick.
Scored 2 today and assisted to Kaka for the 3rd.
He and Kaka are on fire!

why do i have the feeling that we are playing like real madrid nowadays? we are just going forward full force. even gattuso seem to have some chances to score. yes, its very nice to see us attacking but heck, can we just try to tighten things at the back? if not because of the fact we have much better defenders than real madrid then we might find ourselves in trouble now.

It`s some stupid goals we get against us - but at least our defence is not out-played. I don understand as "oldies" as Maldini, Nesta etc don`t manage to cover for such set pieces - it is about to "push" the players a bit, so they can`s controlle their headers.

I saw the whole Udine-Juve match - Zlatan should have been Sent Off!. He has to be punished be TV, it was not a kind of accident.

Juve not at all impres me either - they have a good defense, even Udinese attacked with few players. Their attack seems harmless - Zlatan is the only who manage to create something dangerous. Juve will lose points and as far I see Milan have good chances to defend the title if we start to controlle the defense a bit more.

at the end of November, just in time for winter

kaka and sheva on fire....
pirlo getting back to his best, rui too.

kaladze, and gattuso didn't play good this time. Gattuso made a lot of bad pass, and often disappear in the game. Could have helped cafu on right side more in attack. Kaladze made some stupid mistakes, often failed to cover the left side, and responsible for Reggina's goal (he should man mark the player, not sheva).
Maldini had a bad day....lost his pace

just a little worried about milan's inability to capitialize on their dominance of matches early on. i am also worried if milan can manage if kaka / sheva are injured

It's a matter of concentration, I think.
They are not 100% focused yet.
I'm not worried at all.
