First of all congrats to Milan as they played good football and deserved to win.
Secondly, i do not see how 4-4-2 can win important matches in this day and age, well certainly not important events like Cl or world cup.
As for the match, for those who did not watch, the first goal took a wicked deflection off Thuram and looped over Chimenti, shot by Seedorf, the second was caused by uncertainty in our defence, yet again, from a corner and Kaka, half volleyed into the net and the third was a poor free kick by Pirlo which Chimenti somehow allowed to bounce in front of his despairing dive into the net
Our chances fell mainly to Nedved on the left who for the firat one took a very p[athetic shot which was easily saved, the second he tried to dribble past Stam , who took the ball and Nedved started actin like he was hacked down, when he could have hit the ball first time, and our goal was scored by a good pass from Vieria which Trez met well on a half volley.
Our defence was not so good with Cannavaro and Thuram given a torrid time by Gilardino and Inzaghi's cleverr runs off the ball
Our midfield was out battled by Gattusso, out foxed by Seedorf and Pirlo and out skilled by Kaka
Our attack was non existent
Now to our coach, yes he has won zillions of titles, scudettos and La liga but I will continue to say it, he is very lacking in my book
He has continued to persevere with a system that only works against weaker teams, like Trapatoni in world cup 2002, and Eriksson, the wrong man is blessed with array of forward talent, its like giving pearls to a swine
A midfield of Vieria and Emerson to be totally dominated is criminal and thats becos u have Camo on the right and Nedved on the left as wingers
Ffs we need more bodies in the midfield to help these 2 guys.
We were playing 0-0 last year against Milan in the first half at home, playing really badly and what does Crapelloo do, he takes off Dp, this time we were 3-0 down in the first half and his first sub was Chiellini, unbelievable
Then he brings on Mutu to take the place of a natural or well more suited winger, to play as a winger
He brings on Dp to replace a completely useless Nedved to play as a left winger
All the time , still playing the hapless 4-4-2
This so called great coach has converted Zambrotta from a world class left ffull back to an inept right full back
Why are Nedved and Zlatan allowed to get away with ruiniong our chances of success?
Whom in his right mind will field Chimenti in such an important game?
Unless we change this system to 4-3 -3 or 3 -5 -1, we cannot comfortably beat the so called big teams
And those of you who worship our coach , please answer me 1 important question
How many times has Crapelloo as our manager being able to iwn a game coming from behind?
Surely a great should be able to see how a game is going and be able to change the game tactically or thru change of personnel?
I mean it was quite obvious that Milan were weak on the right hand side of their defence but we didnt not exploit that enuff. Dp was free on a couple of occasions and like i said earlier Nedved had some chances
