Lecce misses two players and also their coach , if i am not mistaken
Lecce have their coach suspended, as well as 3 important for them players, forgot the exact names but Di Michele and Delvechio were among them ... on top of that, Cosmi said that Oddo and Cuadrado are also out of the game.
Lecce are going thru a very good period, however, and if Milan are to win that game, they will have to earn it - nothing will come thwir way for free.

As if Lecce were going to do anything against Milan even with a full squad :D

After that 3:0-3:4 fiasco in Lecce earlier this season, the Lecce guys will shit their pants the moment they step on San Siro.
:D

I hate underestimating opponents and that's one thing I couldn't stand about Milan under Carlo and also tonight. This being said, I don't see Milan taking the Lecce game too easily after tonight's wake-up call in the form of the daylight gang-rape that Arsenal gave us :p

P.S. Correction, it was dark in London at game-time :D

real, barca and bayern can beat milan, so no stress about them winning cl.
on the other side, a well organised, fit, milan, with zlatan on a good day, can beat those 3 aswel


for bayeren, that doesnt even require all that, they are a bit overrated on this forum

What bad teams Milan and Arsenal are - both completely unreliable.

Mesbah looks like an awful player.
he is a pretty good player, not great but good - good speed and tactically aware. Didn't have his best game in the 1st half tonight but then again neither did the rest of Milan, except maybe Mexes.

Also, this was Mesbah's first appearance in the CL ever - a bad game for a debut when your teammates had decided they would make it thru just by showing up.

I'm not judging him just on tonight's game.

He doesn't look half the player De Ceglie is from what I've seen, and I don't think De Ceglie much use.

the issue with milan is the motivation.

remember how they put up a fight at cunt nou.

they are very lucky to have zlatan pulling them trough when the team is not motivated to play a smaller opponent, and zlatan bags a brace with a backheel and a screamer

I think you are too harsh on him - till tonight the only game where he looked less sharp was the one vs Lazio in Rome but that was his 2nd game for Milan altogether, iirc.
He is still getting used to his new teammates but has been very good in all other games he's played. This being said, Milan should look for a starting LB to replace Zambro with Mesbah as a good back-up.

That's the thing about Milan, they only seem to really put in an effort when they feel like the other team is worth their time. I think they have another gear then what they showed against Arsenal. Even in the first leg vs Arsenal, you feel like Milan could have had 6 or 7 goals if they were really interested. Tonight they went in arrogant and complacent. Once Arsenal made it 3-0 they pretty much shut them down though.

Barca and Real are likely the only two teams who can knock them out over two legs.

Don't think it is, unless you are saying they are pretty much never motivated.

Their record against any half decent teams this season is atrocious, so it's not like they are just showing up for big games.
the team is growing in my opinion, and i see simularities with inter 2009/2010, they grew alot during that season.

they have zlatan, who likes the small teams, as he can try a bunch of tricks, and usually succeeds in most of them.

in the big games, they are improving.

dont forget how they suffered in the midfield because of injuries

agreed

But, that last argument goes both ways.

milan is likely the only team that can knock la liga out of the cl

I doubt by "deets" you are referring to C12H17NO so, I would venture a guess you meant "details" :D

He reinjured himself in the previous game vs Arsenal at SS - they brought him back from injury too early for that game and he aggravated his condition. Will be back vs Parma, probably.

Ah, nothing to get excited over.
