comments??





!!!FORZA MILAN!!!

The game in the spring vs Juve will be the game where we clinch the title...
and it starts with a win this weekend against Lazio

Forza Crespo and JDT
Forza Milan

this game on paper is not too difficult, should be enjoyable, its on british eurosport for everyone in ireland and uk

it will be interesting to see who starts between stam and kalazde; seedorf and dhorasso

ps i think juve will drop points away to palemero

Its a must win. We cannot afford to slip once more.

Lazio ain't that frightening .. But they should not be underestimated ..
They have HOLES that allow heavy TRUCKS to pass their defense
The team did not start two consequtive games with the same Deffense line-up..
But they also have unpredictable offense, the slick and the tall ...
with Bazzani, Lazio offense looks dangerous , in addition to the very talented Tommaso Rocchi ...
if Di Canio was opted to start, he also might be so eager and enthusiastic to score against Milan, just what he did against Roma .. coz scoring against Milan is not the same as scoring against Brescia ..

So, Milan's KEY to win , is concentration ... and NO DEFFENSIVE MISTAKES PLZ .. Lazio has lots of problems launching an attack, and lots of problems in the DF line, only Oddo is the one who has some attacking spirit, and that will open up the area to Milan's left..

Good obervation

some good news from gazzetta dello sport....here is what they have written
3 febbraio 2005 - Il giorno dopo lo scintillante poker di Messina, i rossoneri, rientrati nella notte a Milano, hanno ripreso la preparazione a Milanello. Buone notizie, intanto, per Inzaghi: il centravanti, dopo la frattura al primo metacarpo della mano destra, è stato visitato oggi a Milanello dal dottor Costa e dal medico sociale del Milan, Massimiliano Sala. L'esito della visita è stato buonissimo: al giocatore è stato applicato un bendaggio funzionale che gli consentirà di allenarsi con l'arto fasciato e fermo. Nei prossimi giorni verrà valutata da Sncelotti e lo staff tecnico la possibilità di rientro in campionato. Sta provando a forzare i tempi anche Shevchenko, per recuperare dall'infortunio alla caviglia rimediato domenica contro il Bologna: l'ucraino vuole assolutamente esserci contro la Lazio anche per poter rispondere poi alla convocazione della nazionale ucraina per la partita di mercoledì con l'Albania valida per le qualificazioni mondiali.

as far as i can understand inzaghi can start to participate in trainings soon, and shevchenko wants to be ready for lazio game and after to play with ukraine against albania.
i think that we don't have to risk shevchenko, he'll be very helpfull in the away game with reggina!!!

As important as the Ukraine game is to Sheva, I hope he plays in neither match, Lazio, nor that qualifier vs Albania.

We have shown that we can score with Crespo and JDT, and from the highlights I saw, if we can manage another game at that level, we will crush Lazio with ease.

Despite the usual and indeed rather obvious hatred that I have for Inter and Juve, Lazio is the other team that I love to hate...so we need to really turn it on on them!

More Fire!

Sheva needs to just chill for a minute, let him start on the bench if he reeeaaally wants to play...and Pipo too should come off the bench, as he surely isnt match fit yet, and we need to build this budding partnership between Crespo, Kaka and JDT.

FORZA MILAN!

No result can surprise me.

Right now we're rather 'Gli imprevedibili' than we're 'I meravigliosi'. We can only hope for some consistency.

Forza Milan

What scares me the most is that if juv loose or draw against palermo that we might
Slack against Lazio and not beat them.

Juve play on Saturday so Ancelotti will have almost a full 24 hours to EXTRA motivate his team to win the game.

This is a situation that is rife with potential, as Juve will have several important first teamers out through injury and suspension, in fact, they have no first choice wingers except for that Uruguayan..whose name escapes me...

So, if they stumble, we better be able to crush Lazio....those three points in the face of dropped points from Juve will be invaluable in the chase for the scudetto.

oliveria is who you are thinking of, hes a good young player though

i think they will draw with palmero

If Milan continues to approach the games with confidence, and the coaches manage the team, so that we continually rotate the squad with the fitness of the players, Milan has plenty of games left to overcome Juve. Keep in Mind that there are still some 16 games left this season. All teams have peaks and valleys in proformance and fitness, players need oppurtunities to recover, not only form juries, but in fitness. I think that Milan has plenty of time, and that our players are being rotated into and out of the 1st team squad very well. Give the coaching staff credit for this. Lazio is mid table or worse, and Milan sometimes play at the level of the team they are confronting. I hoping that with the Messina game, we have stepped up our game, and spirits, and will rise above the rest. Forza Milan!!!!!
