I disagree. Before the goal, Milan has clear gameplan. Attack through the flank; and both Bonera and Gourky have been very active. After the goal, all passing has gone horrendous... what happened?

And you expect that players be disappointed, won't you? Milan has clear CLEAR crystal CLEAR chances to score and they didn't; while AEK scored from a free-kick that I don't even know why the ref. blew the whistle in the first place.

Inzaghi gotta take a lot of blame for the dilemma that Milan is in now. Same for Dida.

maybe bring Gila on, i didnt expect a whitewash, but it would be embarrasing to lose again tonight

There is no use of saying it again and again but......after we make first 3 or 4 passes, we dont have concrete plan or trained combinations with position swapping. Our fullbacks are Brocchi and Bonera and we want to win CL??

Standard overall. AEK seldom threatened with a few long shot that Dida could save comfortably.

that doesn't make it any better does it? the score is still 1:0 the problem is we can't score after so many chances and this little teams are scoring from just one chance they get we should learn from them

I cant believe it!!! We were supposed to have 4 goals lead...how come that we are actually losing 1:0? I dont think that Milan will be able to play as they did in the first 20 minutes of the first half...they ll be tired, because they gave away so much strength. Damn Inzaghi! He had to score 3 times!

I saw there were, at least before the AEK goal. Milan were clearly the better team, in terms of both defense, and attack (but guess what, not the finishing!).

Bonera sent in a wonderful cross to Inzaghi didn't you see? with him always on the left flank going up almost for the entire first half with some decent cross today. I'm satisfied with him.

Brocchi is not even supposed to play at RB; Cafu got injured. And he didn't play bad either. I don't know how you can easily pick on them.

Why don't you call up Inzaghi and tell him that?

That is so much true...the whole half we were atacking and they had just a couple of chances and scored.

Well thats the risk of having pippo in team, he can score from nothing in 3-d minute of extra time in a important game, but he can also miss clear chances vs. weak teams.

NO Inzaghi is FINE! Just keep the poster boy Gila off and Inzaghi'll score! yah!

Yes Milan would be tired. Better scored at the 45th - 60th minutes.

This side is finished. Face it Berlu, Carlo, and Galliani...we need a new striker or several, new midfielders, new defenders...and a new goalie or several...

I am sooooo sick of this...inept display..inept...thats what we are...inept...ridiculous...and profligate.

We can stop blaming refs, penalty points, yadda yadda yadda...we really should just focus on getting a UCL spot for next season, and just play the primavera in the UCL...because we WONT win with these players. Its obvious we wont make it past the first real team we face...

yeah Bonera is more settled as a Left back i think...

This is a scenario that I saw at least 3 times. Pirlo has the ball right at the half way line in their half of the field. He looks up and almost everything is static. Both forwards standing on the edge of the half like they are awaiting a cross and none of them pulls out wide to spread the back line and create space.
Seedorf is just playing for no reason I guess while Inzaghi is missing everything that came his way. That is a problem at the moment as none of the forwards can finish great, although it seems that Pippo gets a lot more chances then the rest of them.

For the second half.......I wish Cafu/Janku will come on for Seedorf and push Brocchi in Pirlo's place pushing Pirlo in Seedorf's spot in an advanced position. We have to finish our chances. I have a feeling Oliveira will score as he has been playing good.

yeah it's weird how he scores from almost impossible situations and the easy one he misses
