I disagree, when you are down, you should not really think of changing the back four even if it helps serginhio go up, have you had a better bench, you would both Serginhio and the new comer, TO ATTACK.

Yeah, we held them off amazingly, I am impressed that our old defense can still play as such, this tells you something about Milan's professionalism and standards.

BUT, BUT, BUT, no excuses what so ever, we lost and good for the team that won. Now, lets see what Galliani will do to next year's team. Let's see if they will change what should be changed or we will keep playing with the same team that we have been with since late 2003.

as a defence of gila he played well but was unlucky yes pippo is better but pippo can teach gila to be like him.

clearly the lax has to have a soution next year i mean really....
PS: cafu shuld've played from the start of the 2nd half.
again i still have faith in milan i beleive we can win.

I hightly respect him for what he has done in the past but if he is committed to the club, he should understand his mistakes and work on them! after today he will feel more terrorised and his form will go down further! we just have to win at nou camp coz we deserve to be in the final! and if dida continues like this then no ucl nor scudetto! inter will have coppa italia and juve with the league!

i think we shud give inportance to the messina game! thats the best we can do! at such closing stages all the teams look at each others performances! juve, inter and other teams we have to face will feel good abt our loss and will come stronger!

just imagine no ucl and no league!

Dude, I'm not going to talk to you more on Dida until you quote incident today that Dida made "all those small mistakes" you mentioned in the first pargraph in the game against Barcelona.

OMG people, please when you say something, can't you put up a nice argument? Is that what you get from education?

0-4 eventually with Sheva stealing and Rebrov scoring at the end!
However, there was also 3-0 drubbing of Barca in Kiev (both at group stage)

Remember, it's his first season at a really big club and he came with a huge price on his head. He has done quite well already, and he will get even better.

Forza Milan! Forza Gilardino!

The point was and still is that Gila is not UP for the CL yet.
His knees seem to get weak, if you know the feeling. He is struggling under the pressure tpo score in the CL.

CHill dude, the CL is not over yet. No time to worry about next year for now.

In that sense you are right, but we will be using 3 defenders AT HOME GAME, 1-0 down. I don't see any reason why you want to risk to lose more.

ok so if he is good shouldn't he adapt to the situation fast! and this is the end of the season! he has had so many starts but still nothing in europe! if we have spent so much on him should it be our right to expect one goal in europe from him!

24 thats a very juicy age and physically he looks in gr8 shape! he has players like kaka and sheva besidees him! what else does he want?

don't u think ur optimism is misplaced?

it makes me wonder why did we ever get rid of tomasson: it was a perfect game for him to score in

Chill??? Hello we conceded a goal and sansiro and did not score! this is the time to fire some of our players! little bit of battering will not demoralize them!

It makes me wonder why there are people out here talking nonsense~~~~

Optimism don't kill the game. Pessimism do.

Man, appart from Milan's shinning squads since the late 1980's until 1990s and this one, I have a hell of respect for the Lippi JUVENTUS, the one that lost the champions league finals in 1997-1998. So don't blame god for anything, what happens on the pitch is what a team works for both in and off pitch.

I would love to agree with you, but too many times in my life when luck plays a factor, not just in football. Too much to discuss, and this is no the right place.

I know the players have to have the right attitude, optimistic one.
It is not over till it is over. 90 more minutes or more at Nou Camp.
It will be fun, gee I will be at 33000 ft or so .... Well.
It will be fun game to watch for all. Keep faith people!

Your philosophy sounds like the one our city-rival has.
