I have to disagree here, Ahmed...

I have to say that their football is the most entertaining lastly...

All what we saw today from Milan was shy counter attacks by Kaka alone, and without him, we wouldn't have seen Van der Sar at all for the 90 minutes...

I hate English football to an extent that I can't describe. Running, running with no brains.

By the way, the word "entertainment" differs from one person to another. To me, entertainment means tactics then tactics and then comes skills.

Milan lost today because as usual Ancelotti failed to control the second half, the same thing happened 2 years ago against Liverpool in the CL final and happened again against Bayern Munich lately in San Siro. If it's happened that Milan wins, it 'll be all related to the experience of their international experienced players.

As a wise man said, the first half is the half of the players and the second one is the half of the coaches.

Very true Boz.

However, Milan did play great game, It's normal man utd to enter second half attacking from the beginning, It's normal to see Milan defending. However, I think 2-2 is pretty similar to 3-2, Milan attacking in San Siro sounds better than defending.

Milan's weakest player tonight were Seedorf and Pirlo. Nesta and Kaka were outstanding.

If Kaka managed to score one of the two great chances he had, he would have killed the game, anyway, thats not a problem, we all know Milan in San Siro.

Hopefully they'll qualify

Agreed.

Yeah right. It's really entertaining watch Liverpool and Chelsea battle it out in Europe for four matches with about four shots and one goal that should have not even stood. I'm so looking forward to seeing an all English final...

@Rab, I agree with you, but there are two points. The first one is Seedorf, he was controlling Milan's pace when he received the ball plus he defended well, he missed lots of easy passes though. The second point is Pirlo, this is Pirlo as we all know, his first mission is to distribute the ball both left and right and also behind the back line of the opposition and shares in defending, I think he played a decent game today, he made three critical long passes too.

Anyhow, I think that Milan's worst player tonight was Gilardino.

I was just having the same convo with my friend on the phone. Since Gattuso went off Milan midfield lost there way a bit. That Brocchi was a headless chicken. Was it his mistake which led to the Man utd 3rd goal. either way its set up another cracker of a game next week.

I think I would be sleeping early if that happened this year

I don't think Gila was the worst player, he just didn't recieve any ball/chance to take it. no header no pass in the penalty box nothing, thats why I think Seedor who was really slow today and could have crossed couple or more balls from the side he was playing. Instead he was killing the game.

About Pirlo, your right he's most of the times like this, but he was just not the same Pirlo, he looked poor to me and very tired.

 

[Turk_Bianconero]

milan are shame

they played without forward after gilardino-gourcuf change

 

[Byrone]

FFS, the worst thing about Milan's defeat is hearing m elyyan brag about manure.

Anyways, I think that it was a tactical error from Ancelotti to depend on Gilardino as a lone forward, Gilardino fits more with the presence of another attacker with him. Actually, Milan choices for the front line are so limited this season especially in Europe, however, it was better if Ancelotti placed Inzaghi, who despite his age, always runs and creates spaces for his teammates.

Generally as Bozi said earlier, the match turning point was the substitution of Gattuso. Hope he'll be fit to play the 2nd leg.

Enjoy your night, Rab. int:

Gilardino did exactly what was asked of him, be a reference point. Gilardino was there to keep Brown and Heinze busy so that Kaka and Seedorf could make runs into the penalty area, like we saw in the second milan goal.
Gilardino was supposed to do nothing else, he gets the ball, holds it up, passes it, or gets fouled winning a freekick for Pirlo.

FFS, the worst thing about Milan's defeat is hearing m elyyan brag about manure.

is he a manure fan as well now?

[Byrone]

Well he's rooting for them,he keeps his options open in case one of his many teams fvcks up.

 

[Ahmedios]
