AC Milan vs Chievo (27th Nov, 2011) 7:45 PM GMT

I want El Shaarawy in second half, no excuse!

I actually wanted to Pippo to come in and score, but I see that he is not on the bench even. Poor Pippo.

Call me greedy, but I want more players (of ours of course) to score in the second half. We have had 13 (or is it 14?) different players getting at least one goal this season.

ES92 or we RIOT!! HAHA

First half over
We completely dominated and had 4 deserved goals, which could have been more.

I heard from my match commentator that Italian's have a gentleman's agreement never to go past a 5 goal margin when playing, has anyone ever heard of that? With the way we are playing, I'm pretty damn sure we can win 9 or 10-0....

Also, anyone noticed that we're using Antonini's side down the flanks more this match? I've been watching him on the ball quite a lot tonight. Perhaps he's finally improving on his defensive duties. His passing though needs a little work. When he does the simple passes, they all come off, but when he tries anything fancy (i.e. backheel, pullback, around the standing foot thingy, etc.) it fails to come off and he loses the ball to the opponent.

I don't think I can ask for a better first half.

It looks like as long as Silva scores, Pato will too. Last season's opener against Lecce, this season's opener at Barcelona, and this one.

If I have to split the hair, the only negatives are: Boateng was a bit too casual on several occasions, and Abate lost his position once which almost led to a goal by Chievo.

Abate's loss of position was actually because his momentum in chasing another player back made him unable to stop himself in changing 180 and running back towards goal, I can't really blame him for that little misstep since someone else was suppose to be marking Pelissier at the time.

It looks like the barca game gives the team a huge boost,everybody is motivated and inspired.MVB is really amazing tonight,maybe he heard the talk on this forum.

Na I have not , sure Ive seen Milan score 5 , 6 , 8 that's a myth maybe.

[ACM2023]

On the TV, it shows that Ibrahimovic has scored 101 goals (in Seriea A?): 23 for Jube, 57 for Merda, and 21 for the rightful side.

6 was against Merda, which of course was a match where we don't have to be gentlemanly at all

That said, I think the number of goals wasn't the issue, its the goal difference between the two sides playing. We can have 6-1, 7-2 or 8-3s as scorelines, so long as we don't go over 5 between teams. That said, I doubt we'll get any higher than 5, since our defenders don't want to lose their clean sheet.

[Jay Crisp]

True that , but maybe they'll start trying ridiculous skill

[Stitch]

I guess we riot!

[theaxeofpain]

That was very close from Ibra...
