thats really weird! my one works really well!!

Good game for Milan!

Cafu was amazing, running up and down the field the whole game.
Kaka looked very sharp,good performance from him.
Crespo was also very good,scored 2 goals and almost scored one with a nice bicycle kick,he was selfish at times and had a few mistakes but other than that pretty good.
Seedorf was ok so was Gattuso,Rui costa and Pirlo were a bit dissapointing.
Defence was solid,Costacurta wasn't bad,even had a few runs.
Dida was very good saved a lot of long range shots on target and looked very concentrated.
Also,Dhorasso looked very good when he came on and he assisted the last goal for Kaka.

Good performance overall from Milan!

dhorasoo is getting damn good! he has found his way and got plenty of claps tonite!!!

What a game!
First half was pretty boring...but second was real action! And of coarse I`m impressed with the result...CRESPO! Ha to u all of u who hate him!

WOW .what agreat win .I'm so happy that Milan wins with out sheva
I thought either we will draw 0-0 or win I-0 by kaka . I"m glad that
kaka come back to score and good crespo scored too
and the best thing is we are now the leader of our group

proud of Milan

Awful Milan the first half, awesome one during the second. Same players, so go figure. And Dhorasoo played very well for the short time he was on. He even went back to get the defense out of trouble once.

Finally they played good while i was reloading this forum, couldnt see it on tv because we only had psv-arsenal broadcast (btw, lol to arsenal) I just hope they'll keep it up in the serie...

Well, Milan fans, this is more like it should be...

Clear victory, Crespo scoring twice and regaining confidence, Kaka on top of his game, and first place in the CL group.

Way to go.

always the same post, whoopsie, we won. What does that make of it?

Really a result we needed, the confidence may come back for some key figures up front.

Since when has Milan become a 45-minute team?

After Kaka's brilliant & brave head-ball just in front the net, Milan starts to unblock itself. Suddenly the players run up front with or without balls, even Maldini ran from the back into the other penalty box trying to score! Actually had not been for the great saves from Shakthar's goalkeeper, Milan could have scored another 2 goals in ca 10 minutes after our first 2 goals.

Dhorrasso played very good and should be given more playing time. Same should be said about Rui, Brocchi.

MOM for me is Kaka. 8. He not only scored 2 goals, esp. the most important opening goal which unblocked the whole team & game, but also ran tirelessly during all the game seeking shooting from different distance and angle. His first goal is a brave low header among the legs of 2 defender after Cafu's assist.Crespo's 2nd goal is also a indirect assist from him: he passed to Seedorf, whose header bounced back for Crespo to tap in.

Crespo 6.5: he scored 2 goals important to his confidence but still he is very RUSTY! He missed at least 2 easy chances because he was slow and couldn't hold the balls. Sometimes try too hard when a simple action could solve the problem. He is on his way to recovery.

RUI 6.5: he is sometimes active and sometimes invisiable, but his passes are unmatachable in the world. He pinpoints the ball through the defence which isdirectly besides the feet of Crespo, who needs only to skip the goalkeeper to put the ball inside the net. In the first half time he had one dangerous direct shot, which saved by the goalkeeper. He DESERVES to play more.

RINO 6: fighting as always but his passes left to desired.

Pirlo 6: He didn't provide any useful long passes, maybe only 1 as I can recall.

Seedorf 6.5: ran intelligently, made some very smart 2-1 passes with Kaka, he should have scored one goal but his header bounced on the leg of defender, which result Crespo's 2 goal.

Cafu 7: Has good game: very active, assist 1 goal & some nice passes in & outside the box.

Nesta 6.5/7: very solid game, no mistakes at all.

Maldini 6.5: good game, once even ran inside the opponent's penalty box trying to score.

Billy 6.5: nice runs down the left side, a few nice combination with other players. I am just gald he can still be with us.

Dhorasoo again top class, Rui great in assisting play.
Why these players barely play??
