Andrea Pirlo (91 Viewers)

Looked like a 2006 performance. He had a good game against Roma as well, is it because of the formation?

I missed the Roma game, but v Atlanta and today... he's looked a little quicker/mobile than he has all year. Maybe it's taken long because he practically missed the whole of last season.

The real shame is that we don't have a quick forward that can make those runs behind the defense, like Inzaghi or even Sanchez. It cut's half his game out.

But he's sitting deeper these last few games than earlier in the season when he was closer to the attacking third in our build up play.

greeat match for him.

 

[Fake Melo]

Agreed. Was it his passes that lead to Matri and Esti's first chances?

 

[Jem83]

I think Quag and Giaccherini sent those passes, but I might be wrong.

No I think that was Quag.

No, you're right J83. Quag I think.

 

[Tommy]

No I think that was Quag.

and Esti's was Giaccherini.

I see someone's been learning from Pirlo

It's because teams don't perform with the same intensity throughout every game of the season. Football fans are fickle but this forum also benefits from largely having no middle ground, so when they see something they don't like about Pirlo, it results in calls for him to be dropped or sold. Now he's had two or three impressive games, everything should be excellent again.

It was Giaccherini who played Matri through, but it was Pirlo who started the attack with a delightful long grounded pass to Giaccherini.

 

[deggen10]

He set up Esti twice i think with decent chances. He also did nice work in the lead up to our first goal. Outsmarted 2 players, after getting a bad pass, and kept the attack going.

 

[Tommy]

Artist.

 

[ZoSo]

Genius.

 

[DVS]

I loved it when he got the ball back from an Udinese player with a perfect tackle to keep the pressure and the crowd went nuts.

Nice game for Pirlo but I must say his free kicks haven't been up to par all season. Heck the team as a whole has been sub par with set plays all season

 

[ZoSo]

He went pretty close to goal a couple of times. One a bit too high and one a bit too wide.

Even now it still feels weird to see Pirlo play for us. He was such a symbol of the successful Milan teams. Happy to have the man here, he is a magician.
