Defensively, Milan are just too good, no need to deny it, its a fact, Maldini is just a god and Nesta is fabulous and when they are missing there is the wily old fox, Billy who in all honesty as far as I am concerned is a much better defender than when he was younger, just like Sensini at Udinese, i feel these players are like gr8 wine, improve with age , unlike the grapefruits we have defending us
Back to Milan though in midfield they are more solid than spectacular but still have enough imagination about them to break down most defences with Pirlo finally finding his niche, as I would always say he would have been lost if he was put behind the strikers as he is not good enough to do that for a big club consistently
The strikers do not have to be good but they are good , and with all the chances being created either by Cafu, Kaka, Rui Costa and Seedorf not to mention the inconsistent Serginho, its just chances galore for Milan's strikers
Roma well they have plenty of quality and most of all good movement and this season have a good defence and also create chances for their strikers
Juve well its just the never say die spirit that still putting us in the championship race as we are so lacking in creativity its untrue
Its so bad that ppl are crying out for Maresca, a player woho would not get more than 5 games a season at Roma or Milan
We do not have enough champions to combat the big teams in big games and we play a system which I am struggling to understand what exactly it is
No need to go over the defence as its been talked to death as is our midfield which is non existent
The most worrying thing is how Nedved, Dp, DV, Miccoli and Camoranesi can all be on bad form at the same time
I think Lippi should take a leaf out of Ancellotti's book and play Maresca just in front of the defence, use Appiah as a terrier to disturb the opposition
Thuram and Leggrotaglie in the middle of defence and please play them to the end of the season, no more resting of players
Well the rest ought to pick itself and hope the big guns start performing
We have to beat Depor otherwise the season is almost finished as I cannot see us winning the league and coppa Italia does not interest me even if we have to go thru Lazio to do that
