Ancelotti can stfu. Inzaghi was offside on his 2nd goal. Bonera played the offside trap perfectly on the chip, but he played the ball to Inzaghi, who was in a favourable position because he was offside that entire play. It was a more obvious decision than the Brazzo goal, but Milanista will obviously ignore that since its the only excuse they have.
As for the match. I dont think we played that bad. It wasn't on the same level as vs Inter, but we still created chances and battled hard.
Firstly, overall, Brazzo was 1 of our worst performers, yet he scores 2 important goals.
Also, Ranieri's decision to sub Trezeguet off was a poor 1. Brazzo or Tiago should have been taken off, and much earlier in the half. He waited to long to make a sub, and than made the wrong 1. Yes Brazzo scored, but that wasn't because of any tactical genius on Ranieri's part.
Tactically, it would have been smarter to either bring Palladino on for Brazzo, in turn moving Camo back to the right (where he was most effective today). Or, he should should have brought Tiago off for Iaquinta and switched to a trident.
We got lucky, because it was a terrible sub, and if the game ended in a tie, I guarantee ppl would be making a big deal out of it.
Tiago, I thought he was average. Although If Nocerino was playing we would have had less possession, so u cant really complain.
Defensively, even with Inzaghi being offside on the 2nd, we are capable of better. We only conceded 7 goals at home up until this game, so to concede 2 is unacceptable imo.
Bonera's tackle was similar to the one that broke Eduardo's leg. Im very surprised Sissoko managed to play on, but that just shows what a beast he is. Forza Momo!
Del Piero was MOTM, closely followed by Camo. Although he held onto the ball to long on a few occassions, he was a constant threat, and picked up Brazzo's slack in the 1st half by receiving the ball on the left side of the field and drawing Milan defenders onto him. He clearly deserves to be called upto to Euro 2008. He has put in good performances against the big sides, and with 14 goals, it would be wrong to not have him in the squad.
Given the fact that at this time last season we were illegally in serie b while Milan were wrongly playing in the CL, I hope this loss sends those dinosaurs into the UEFA cup.
Forza Juve!
