They have all their resources ready to go and we only have maybe just more than half of ours available. Given the circumstances of the current situation we'll be lucky to get a draw in this one I'm afraid.
In recent times, we have played well when the odds are stacked against us. Remember the Barca game at home last season? I think we can win this.
Don't think Abate or Niang are even close to being fully match fit. Hopefully, after today we can finally get some of our injured players back! Forza Milan! Saw a different preview where Emanuelson plays ahead of Kevin Constant.
Gotta take advantage of Napoli sitting on that lead. I think they'll come out attacking again in the second. Allegri should anticipate this by having De Jong and Muntari sitting next to each other in the middle, because I don't see much of a threat from Napoli on their right side, so I think they'll be coming up the middle and maybe the left side mostly.
if balotelli gets injured, it's bad news milan. hopefuuly, allegris decision to keep him on doesnt back fire
must have happened right after the game ended cause i didn't see it. as soon as the ref blew the whistle i turned off my computer. on a side note, the team did look its best today. considering how many players we had injured, we played decently well and looked more dangerous than napoli for most of the match. with the missed penalty and the crossbar we could have tied the game. now if only that mattered in the standings...
ya happened after the game he should of just let things go its not like anything he had to say would of changed the result. Our players were spent from playing against BVB I was expecting more squad rotation for this match but Raf went all in and gambled with fatigue.
Balotelli red card is so lame. He was upset and talking to ref after the game. The ability for any player to get carded after the game is ridiculous. He was hacked all night and Napoli got away with barely any troubles. Elbowed in face away from the ball, hacked down from behind numerous times, and was frustrated all night. It's a shame the abuse he gets. I wish he wouldn't do things to get carded, but I can't blame him when he goes through all this stuff. I hate to say it, but if it wasn't for Reina, we prob would have tied/won. I expected more from Napoli and after the goals they didn't look promising. We controlled most of the game and only was beaten on counters. I don't know about you guys, but I'm not a big fan of Balo coming back so far to get the ball. If he does it while Matri plays and when SES is healthy he goes back to CF than ok, but not a long term thing. Tough loss, really wanted to beat Napoli. This is the case with Milan. If healthy we can compete, if not than we look desperate and disorganized and rely on Balotelli. We need much more quality guys for depth. Muntari/Birsa/Matri/Urby shouldn't be starting. Good players but when 4 role players are starting, its tough.
Balo gets a 3 match ban. Looks like Niang and the other guys are going to get a chance to show something. Bottom line though, this season is turning in to a carbon copy of last year...
