Jankulovski!

I thought it was about time to give some credit to one of the few Milan players who have played consistently well this season: Marek Jankulovski. Always solid in defence, and dangerous when going forward.
After a difficult first season at Milan, he has really settled into the team now, and if you ask me, we now have one the best left backs in the game.

tougher than serginho in defense though IMO serginho's curling crosss is better. after all i'm glad he finally settled in and can play regularly

If he was three or fours years younger with the same form, RM and Chelski would have come to us like hungry dogs for him. LB positions looks more and more secure with his fine performances. Forza MAREK!

tbh, I've personally thought Marek has been pretty inconsistent this year. However, he has put in a few great performances including last night and is becoming a more prominent figure in the side. I particularly liked how well him and Gourcuff worked together last night.

Can't wait for Serginho to be back in the CL this year Janulovski has been poor

When is Serginho coming back? I wish there were updates on acmilan.com ....

Probably some time in January or February next year at the earliest. In fact there is a possibility that he might not return for us cause his injury is pretty serious, in general. Hope he will recover though.

Jankulovski has been inconsistent in some games, but he has answered the coach's call every time, and put in some good performances. Let's also remember that 6 of our 11 pts have come courtesy of Janku. He is a little injured right now, so let's not forget that. For all of the above, he does deserve much praise.

Junkulovski is playing really well this season. He is very good in defence and very good with his crosses in attack. He have made some mistakes...but please show me a player who did not make any mistakes. Overall performance is very good and Junku deserves a place in the starting line up.

I agree with ACMilan1983. Janku has been quite inconsistent this season. I think the problem is that he doesnt really suit the requirements of our LB position. His main problem is that he cannot take people on one on one and beat them, like Serginho. That's probably why he keeps passing the ball back to Seedorf/Gourcuff the moment he gets it.

Eventually, I think it's a matter of adjustment, either he has to adjust further to the team or the team has to start adjusting to his style. But at the moment, in terms of impact, I think a fit, healthy Serginho has far more impact than Janku.

Pardon me for some controversial comments.

I rate Jankulovski at the same level as someone like Abbiati, who is good, or quite good, but not good enough. I would love to have them in the squad, as they are decent and diligent and loyal too (at least to some extent), but they are simply not as good enough to hold a regular position in a team like Milan. Maybe Roma, not but Milan.

Though Serginho and Dida are flawed also, and old, but I wouldn't want to replace them, unless with Zambrotta and Buffon.


P.S. Don't get me wrong. I love every Milan player. I was just trying to be objective.

So to you Jankulovski is not good enough for Milan, but Gilardino is?

i'm waitin' for the answer from Xudong...

I think Janku is being good enough...he have proved the right to be in the starting line-up for Milan. Janku contributes a lot to the game and he even scored once against Chievo..he scored an important goal that made us win 0:1. So what is it really so no good enough about him? (just being curious)

Why do you call him Junku?
