Parma - AC Milan (post-game comments)

Forza Magico Pirlo! great to see players other than Shevchenko scoring goals

JDT had a great game and so did Dhorasso.

Never saw cafu lose his cool except in this game against cadrone!

It was one of our best matches this season and we kept them under pressure most of the time . Seedorf's dissallowed goal was 100% legal and Crespo's challenge was fair . We were very unlucky to concede a goal from Parma's first chance of the match yet again from a set-piece . Ancelotti's subs were great and contributed in the turnaround with Serginho and Dhorasso contributing in both of our goals . Anyway beating Parma away was never an easy task and we usually struggled at the Tardini in recent encounters .

maybe it's the ground we can't seem win on or the wet conditions or the entire team just had an off day, but that was a very disappointing display.
we controlled the game without making very many scoring chances. Milan were lucky to get any points.

THere needs to be more urgency in the Milan team. Patiently passing the ball will not do much. Milan didn't look to try too much.
What has happened to Gatusso's ball handling skills? this game he was not needed to win balls, and only was a hindrance to the attack. Dharosoo was more productive in his short time.
Kaka can't seem to make his runs no more. Isn't he supposed to be the playmaker!? only remembered one brilliant run. rarely set up anyone.
Pancaro played another completely useless game. When was the last time he put in a half decent game?

wow ...that was really negative

The result spared Ancelotti's blushes.

Just when Crespo is finding the target and the Rui-Kaka feeder setup is doing the job, he changes it all. He could of maintained the setup and started Sheva from the bench as he's not 100%.

Nevertheless, his choice & timing of introducing JDT, Serginho & Dhorasoo did the job as they did make a difference and were involved in the goals.


Forza Milan

I feel gooooooooooood.

I went to livescore.com to see the results ( as i was unable to see the game - my job sucks) i saw 2-1 for Milan, i was like wow koool.
Then i clicked on the goals to see who scored and when, then i was like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

lazio are leading juve 1-0

damn juve's equaliser 1-1

lazio were pathetic, just rolled over and let juve dominate the game would be nice to get into a position where we can over-take them if we beat them on the 18th.

Lazio should have had a penalty. Buffon took out Simone Inzaghi, who actually deserved a PK, the little diver. Ibrahimovic should have been red-carded for his stamp on Siviglia(sp?), but he stayed on to score the winner. Typical Juve. But Lazio did roll over.

Still, I'm not sure I want Milan to be the winter champions.

A very good performance by the team I think. It was good to see us control the game so well and keep possession superbly.

Dida had a quiet game and I don't think he saw Gilar's header in time to stop it

Pancaro was fair. He made a lot of runs forward to try and add width, but really couldn't deliver. Defensively, he only really failed once, but that resulted in the goal

Maldini was pretty much flawless

Nesta same as Maldini, but him and Gilar tangled a lot

Cafu was again fairly quiet by his standards. No defensive errors, but going forward he didn't add enough of a threat, although he did push forward fair amounts

Pirlo had a decent game in my opinion. He didn't sparkle as what people may expect from him, but he developed play reasonably well and his defensive work was quite good too. Also, must note that he made the difference in the end

Gattuso worked reasonably defensively and going forward he tried to help build attacks. Often struggled to complete passes due to the tight defence of Parma.

Seedorf was pretty good. He added creativity to the side and got into good positions, shame his goal was disallowed.

Kaka was quite possibly our MOM I think. Very good runs throughout the match and more often than not was our biggest threat to the Parma defence. Also, took up a good position to get his goal. Ricky is back on form

Crespo started well but became quiet as the match went on. His movement was good though.

Sheva was quiet by his standards. He was unlucky not to score when hitting the post and thats the only chance he got. He did well during many attack build up plays, but in the end was crowded out by the Parma team (the same seemed to happened to Crespo)

The subs all did well after coming on and Serginho especially played a huge part for the goals.

It was a great result and the performance was excellent. We were unlucky to go behind and the team showed great character to turn it around.

Shame Juve won

FORZA KAKA!
FORZA PIRLO!
FORZA MILAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sheva seemed a little sloppy in this game by his standards. His ball controlling let him down probably on 2 occasions, in one of which he ran the ball out of the field . Other than that, we always had ball possession but struggled to break down Parma till last minute brilliances. But again, any teams would have problems with a 10-man defense tactic. I also noticed in the first half, cafu didnt make as many forward runs as he does and did in the second half.
