Milan - Lecce (05/04/09)

It was Senderos scoring the first I think

We should have scored much earlier but strikers had very bad concentration, Sheva did well for the time he was in and is kind of an extra we need ( same goes for Boriello) against these rugged defenses. As for Inter I think they have spent the amount of luck in this season for another 150 years, but that's something we have to swallow and continue fighting.

I mean, sure he deflected it, but it was Senderos who got his head to it first, and since it was heading towards the back of the net already, it should technically be Senderos' goal, no?

I'm pretty sure that since Ronaldinho touched the ball last he's gonna be awarded the goal. The goal hadn't counted had he been offside, so I think it'll count as his goal this time. As far as I know the rule about deflections that barely change the direction of the ball counting for the shooter of the ball, only applies to players from the defending team, I might be wrong though.

Sheva did more than well...it was a beautifully lofted cross, delicately put in for Pipo...just over the goal keeper's reach. Boriello couldn't have done that. Sheva is not just a good striker but a good playmaker as well. Sure the game was already won by Senderos and the second goal was just icing.

Hehe, so we should use Senderos and Sheva more ^^

Oh and we are 5 after Juve who have tough one against merda so second place is something to hope for, and our bench is getting stronger, I am getting very optimistic about next year with our defense rebuilt and the key players healthy

sheva is back, and dinho sucks big time.... i would like to kick him right in the ass... he cant run, cant control the ball, NOTHING, he is useless

Um...it was a cross to an unmarked Inzaghi, who had the luxury of Italy for space. The goal was academic. The cross was academic.

The cross wasn't just academic. It was a beauty. You are not a Sheva fan! That's obvious. Your response is not only " academic "...it's lame. You didn't see it...that's obvious, too. If you had you would have appreciated it for what it was...simple, beautiful.

It was a so-so cross--come on man, be honest. I did feel a little happy for him because he has had such a tough time, but it was not as good as you suggest.

Maybe exactly because it looks so-so that it is a great one?

You felt a little happy????? I don't believe it...I dragged that much out of you. Hasan, I have always had respect in the past for your views...not today, man. "A little happy," he says. "Academic"..the pass was.

Right on, Jeff! Thank you!

Anyone got highlights of the game ?

Sorry about that smilie, Jeff. Nothing untoward meant. I got excited about your support.

Some people are not fair on this forum ... I didn't see any comment about Ancelotti's choices. The usual bashers could sometimes say something good when the coach almost does what they ask for !!

- Flamini: starter again (and again very good)
- Seedorf: replaced at the 50th (it's an early replacement for Carlo, and especially for Seedorf, second time in few weeks that happens)
- Pato and Inzaghi in attack from the start
- No DM coming on the pitch but only Shevchenko and Ronaldinho, two offensive players
- Pirlo seemed to play more freely
- Ancelotti made us playing with 3 strikers + 1 AM ... so he took risks

Aren't these things what some of the people here asked for weeks and why they bashed Ancelotti each week-end ?

PS: What's this discussion about the cross of Shevchenko ? If Hasan thinks it was academic (I have no idea about what that means) and he was "a little happy" (personnally, I didn't explode with joy, after the goal from Senderos/R80, the game was already for us, Lecce couldn't come back), isn't it his right ?
