As a ManUtd fan, I was disappointed by the team's performance in old trafford. I think the work rate wasnt there and they gave Milan too much respect and allowed them to play ball instead of bullying them around the pitch. Very poor performances from Giggs and Rooney didnt help either though.

So they start the 2nd leg 1-0 down but at least United have a target in the 2nd leg. And that should give them the much-needed kick in the arse they need. When the chips are down and united need to reach a certain target, they are rarely found wanting.

Granted they are up against a very good side but I'm hopeful. Thankfully, I don't think United could play any worse than they did at Old Trafford. No team in Europe is infallible, each can beaten by the other.

So gloves on AC Milan, its round 2 and hopefully Man Utd come out snarling

28-02-2005, 09:20

Oh yeah my prediction.........I reckon if Utd can score early on it could be a scoreline of 3-1 given the players do their stuff.

More than likely though it will be close affair and Im hoping Utd will squeeze past Milan 2-1 in the San Siro

Manchester tried to press high but they played a team with fantastic ball control.
Milan-Man Utd 2:1

mk18 · 28-02-2005, 10:56

milan 2-0 ... well have sheva back

Styles · 28-02-2005, 13:37

I'm not sure but it looks you guys will go through.
BUT if we beat you we'll win the whole thing

1-2 to united so we'll have to beat you in extra-time or penalties.

It wouldn't go to penelties if you won 2-1, due to the away goals rule.

But don't worry with silly details like that, ManU simply won't win at San Siro.

Henrik, if bologna can win at san siro we can...

Stezagud · 28-02-2005, 14:54

my original predictions were 0 - 0 then 3 - 1 to Milan, but now the game depends very much on Milans approach as Utd have no choice but to attack.

Milan will try and control possesion again and take the sting out of the game but its unusual for Utd to go through a whole game without a chance. My head still says Milan will win but there are enough players at Utd capable of a moment of magic to keep this tie alive

iregk · 28-02-2005, 15:14

Honestly just can't see united doing it. I think Milan are far too strong at the back for United and the midfield has so much more technique about it when it comes to passing. I think Milan will win 2-0 or 2-1...

Franco6 · 28-02-2005, 16:05

United can do it, but only we can loose it. If we go with the mentality do defend we will be committing suicide. If we play to win then we will do it. On paper we are more balanced i.e. we have a much stronger defence

Styles, technically you are right but Bologna won at the San Siro namely because thay are Bologna i.e. a small team Milan hardly took 100% seriously. ManU will not have that advantage and will have a gritty and concentrated Milan to deal with, especially after the "Riazor" affair from last season.

Henrik · 28-02-2005, 19:51

Both teams can win it, they both have qualities enough to go through. I don't think anyone would dispute it. What we seem to disagree on is how likely a ManU win at San Siro is. I would give United a 20-25% chance of going thru.

derekhski · 28-02-2005, 20:10

It's all Milan's choice, To WIN

or Lose

My prediction is Milan 1, Man U 0 or 1. With either of these score lines, Milan Wins!!
I have the upmost of respect for ManU, but want to view thier demise at the SanSari........ Froza Milan

K77SH C · 28-02-2005, 20:36

6 wins in a row (hopefully 7 on the weekend), 4 clean sheats in a row(hopefully 5 on the weekend). We suffered some serious pressure from Inters strikers and midfielders which should be good preparation for teh game with united

I say bring it on

Milan 3-1 United

ac_milan_foreva · 28-02-2005, 22:40

With sheva 2-1 as sheva would score 1 or 2
without sheva ancelotti will play defensively (as he should under the circumestances) and will get a 0-0 draw.

Look at our last couple of games. notice a pattern? no goals conceded. without sheva our tactics were changed and it payed off
