Manchester United v Milan match thread [R] Champions League Semi-Final Leg 1

i hope ac win, im sick of man united fans on here and there cocky ways.

 

Good luck today, Milan.

Oddly enough I think that our being thrashed 7-1 helps your cause.
For one, it's surrounded Manchester United with huge expectations
and they will be feeling the pressure to repeat that performance.

And of course I don't think MUFC can repeat it. For one, their defense is
in tatters and for another Milan's backline, with Nesta, Jankulovski, Maldini,
and yes Dida, should fare far better than Roma's, with all due respect to
Chivu and co.

One thing I've always noticed - Panucci is a very fragile player mentally.
He's had numerous breakdowns in big games and the one vs. Man U just
called to mind others I can remember - he was awful vs. South Korea at
the 2002 World Cup and also back when he was at Madrid in big matches.
I think that players like Nesta, Maldini, and Jankulovski will know how to
handle themselves today - at the very least they won't break down as we
did.

My only worry for you is on offense. To be honest, I don't see Gilardino
scoring, and there's going to be a ton of pressure on Kaka to take this
game by the scruff of its neck. It might come down to the likes of Pirlo
or Seedorf popping in with a goal - and an away goal would be huge ahead
of the San Siro 2nd leg - but it's a real blow that Ronaldo and Inzaghi can't
start together today ....

 

I'm sooooo nervous about this match. If Milan can get a draw, that would
be great. I think the Rossoneri's experience will be HUGE in this match up.

Good luck! I hope AC Milan utterly destroy the Mancs.

 

Hopefully, not another 7-1 loss....

 

gonna catch the replay at 5 ET, so i gotta stay off the boards til after the game. hopefully it turns out well, forza milan

 

Good Luck! don't let an all english final happen!! feel sick just to think about that, ok hope you win tonight just like against us

 

Lets Go Milan!!!

 

I predict 1:1


Let's go rossoneri! Make Italy proud

 

Man utd just scored an undeserved goal, mainly thanks to Dida's bad judgment

 

mother********er

 

I guess the other six are sure to follow now.

 

WTF what kind of goal was that?

 

Dida punched it in

 

Wow Dida makes a mistake, what a surprise!

 

The mistake wasn't so much the punch as it was letting the Ronaldo header bounce off what looked like his chest and behind him.

 

'He plays on the leeeeeeeeeft
He plays on the riiiiiiiight
That boy Ronaldo
Made England look shite

 

He shouldn't even have been off his line, he started running for the ball almost as it had landed on Ronaldo, who by the way didn't get the goal, its been announced as own goal, which makes things a little better.

 

Manchester first goal (Manchester 1: 0 Milan) http://www.d1g.com/video/show/?id=927540

 

Dida wakes up!

 

Should just ignore him, he's a Reading fan, doesn't know any top level success.

 

MU makes the best use of space I've seen in some time.

 

It's not an own goal if you look at the replay - it's just a bad play on Dida's part. He didn't clear it, in fact I don't think he even toucehd it.
Ronaldo should be awarded the goal.
