Milan’s Tactical Difficulties

By: Gianfranco | Comments Add Comments

I may have had some computer issues yesterday morning, but it was Milan that had the real technical difficulties on the pitch. Call it whatever you want; regression, ineptitude, lack of awareness, but no matter what fancy name you give it, in the end it all sucks.

Bologna 0 Milan 0, My Technical Difficulties

By: Gianfranco | Comments 61 Comments

So my plan to live blog the match this morning was thwarted by my lovely Cable Company as I lost internet for the better part of the morning. So a post match live blog, which was my second intention, became a list of notes out of frustration, back tomorrow with a full recap…

Thurday Milan Musings: Transfer Talk

By: Gianfranco | Comments 72 Comments

With yet another transfer window coming to a close and the Rossoneri doing next to nothing to reinforce the squad, you have to wonder how our Club a onetime transfer juggernaut has fallen so quickly from grace? Now, understand, that I am fully aware that the current economic crisis is dramatically effecting football transfers as a whole, and the over inflation of player values has not made this any easier, in fact to some extent allowing only Man City and Real to be real shoppers, as the rest of the footballing World stares longingly at their crumbling financial’s. I also want to commend Milan for taking some financial accountability and doing what is right for the Club long term, calling for drastic buys of expensive players is foolish, and if the economy ever corrects itself Milan will be poised for a head start, while Clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United are sinking, but just because you are operating on a tight budget it doesn’t excuse the Milan Brass for what I believe has become the detriments to our transfer policy:

45 Minutes of Klaas?

By: Gianfranco | Comments 95 Comments

To say the first five minutes on the pitch for KJH were amazing, is not enough! The guy was a one man army, full of running and clinically dangerous. However, forty-five minutes is a long time and what surely looked like a chance for KJH to make me eat my words, instead, like the rest of the team, he helped sink an already poor week even further.

Maldini Monday

By: Gianfranco | Comments 38 Comments

Maybe it is human nature to reminisce in troubled times, or maybe I just need something positive to think about it after a pretty tough week to be a Rossoneri fan. One point out of a possible six, and a nine point gap from the title. As I watch the squad bumble through the last few matches I can’t help but think something is missing, sure Ambro has worn the armband admirably and truly played up to the standard, but in the end this team has no true leader, no hero, and no Legend to play for…

Disgusted…

By: Gianfranco | Comments 64 Comments

The 69th minute of this match seemed to last forever, a poor poor run of play from Antonini to Janks to Rino and suddenly Udinese are back on the prowl. DiNatale looks very good on Zambrotta but retreats back, Milan win possession and earn the first corner of the second half and the minute finally comes to an end. It wasn’t so much the minute itself but this feeling of slow motion play and a distance that I can’t really explain from the team and the match. It almost felt surreal as I waited for Milan to pick up tempo, or string some passes together but time just ticked slowly away and nothing happened.

Getting Back on Track

By: Gianfranco | Comments 33 Comments

The significance of the Udinese match goes beyond Coppa Italia or not, this match is the first chance for this team to forget Sunday and get back on track.
