Sampdoria is of course missing their biggest creative force... as we all know, but still not a side to be underestimated. Nonetheless, they are poor defensively... and have either the 4th or 5th poorest defensive record in the Serie A so far. Pazzini had a hat trick last game (albeit against Lecce)... he'll be the biggest threat in this game I believe. Hopefully our players will have a few days rest before playing this game.
We always play well at the Marassi. Big wide open pitch makes for good football. Hopefully Pirlo makes it, he likes this field.
From looking at our last game we've played we actually haven't been that bad. I remember when we lost to Cesena. I thought this was going to be another long year! LOL
I hear you! But I always had faith in the team Well several last games... our defense is very solid. Sampdoria has a really poor defense, but this is not a reason to underestimate them.
Pirlo and Antonini did not make the squad list because of continuing injury concerns. Call up list: Portieri: Abbiati, Amelia, Roma Difensori: Bonera, Jankulovski, Nesta, Papastathopoulos, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta, Yepes Centrocampisti: Abate, Ambrosini, Boateng, Flamini, Gattuso, Seedorf, Strasser Attaccanti: Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Ronaldinho. Giocatori indisponibili (not available): Antonini, Oddo, Pirlo, Inzaghi, Pato. Sampdoria's call up: Curci, Da Costa, Fiorillo; Accardi, Cacciatore, Gastaldello, Lucchini, Volta, Ziegler; Dessena, Guberti, Koman, Mannini, Palombo, Poli, Tissone; Fornaroli, Marilungo, Pazzini, Pozzi.
Alright, they may have only conceded 11 times, but they have often drew, and lately aren't doing well. They nearly drew against 10 men Lecce... The fact remains lately they haven't been great, and very low scoring. Also very poor comparison. Palermo sits above them even though they lost 5 games.
Official formations: SAMPDORIA: Curci; Volta, Lucchini, Gastaldello, Ziegler; Mannini, Palombo, Tissone, Guberti; Pazzini, Marilungo MILAN: Abbiati; Abate, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Bonera; Gattuso, Ambrosini, Boateng; Seedorf; Ibrahimovic, Robinho
83' There is no need for both Gattuso and Ambrosini in this game. Why don't Allegri grow some balls and put Ronaldinho?
Milan's right side is completely dead. I don't know what people see when they say Abate is progressing.
He is progressing and that's fact. And he did reasonably well in this game. Rather it was Bonera that was problematic... The problem we had in this game was not that we didn't have chances... we should have killed it off early in the 1st half, but rather... we weren't clinical enough. I underestimated Sampdoria and admit my mistake.
Because he has a crappy work ethic and should remain on the bench until he gets his act together? I don't care for Ronaldinho. I doubt he would have changed anything with his abhorrent lack of pace. We need Pato back... it's really that simple. This game is nothing more than a blip... we'll be back on the right track soon enough.
Our midfield was dead in the second half. It was blatantly obvious that we needed a few substitutions. Flamini was warming up around the 60th minute, yet he wasn't introduced until the 90th ********ing minute.....So frustrated right now.....we should of had the three points, instead of one!!!! And Bonera was shit......as usual.
Yes, Allegri should have made substitutions sooner. I would have not put Dinho on the field though. Flamini however should have gone on much sooner...
Ibra seems fatigued. Its been a concern for a while now that he's been playing too much. I get why Ronaldinho didn't come in sooner, Seedorf was actually having a decent game and had he put away that ball Ambro gave him we wouldn't be complaining right now.
We need a proper number 10. Seedorf's constantly losing possession!!! He's also wasteful in front of goal. He had a perfect chance to win the game, and he failed.miserably!!!!
Seedorf had a great game and nearly won us that game... he just doesn't know how to score anymore. That's a real big problem. The problem here is we need our midfielders scoring again. And I doubt Dinho would have done any better. I can't stand Dinho fan boy nonsense... we need a player with pace... besides that, there is an article stating we have reportedly signed Ganso... I'm not too upset by this game, and I think we will get back on the right track. Sampdoria is never easy at home, and I did underestimate them to my fault. Maybe I should go back to predicting negatively because when I do that the opposite happens.
Bad result for Milan... Allegri -> Subs were too late. Did he really want to win? This is the type of game Milan has to win. Samp w/o Cassano is not the same team -> Edit: Milan now days plays w/3 CM and 1 AM, and needed a goal. So why not take out 1 CM for R80 @ 70-75" Allegri didn't even try to get 3 points today .
