Lazio 1 Milan 2

By: Gianfranco | Comments 96 Comments

Following the draw against Napoli I have to admit that it is hard to feel a rush of optimism with a two goal lead. The most unnerving part of the game is the patches of sloppy play that follow segments of dominance in passing and possession. It is almost like a sudden case [...]

Milan 1 Madrid 1, Recap

By: Gianfranco | Comments 43 Comments

Not going to go deep into this recap, frankly because the match was draining and nervy for me and maybe for some of you as well. Feel free to recall the previous post if you missed the match as I touch on few different points here.

Milan 1 Madrid 1

By: Gianfranco | Comments 53 Comments

A philosophical question for you…So I have done everything in my power to isolate myself from the score line today. I buried myself in work, I didn’t answer my phone or even look at it when texts arrived, and have successfully made it all the way to 7PM Eastern Time without a clue of [...]

Milan 2 Parma 0

By: Gianfranco | Comments 57 Comments

Just some quick observations I noted as I watched the match today. I will be back tomorrow with a player breakdown after a second viewing, and I will also discuss the possible Ghanian arrival as I watch the U20 World Cup final between Ghana and Brazil that I was able to get my hands [...]

Little Tactics, Little Recap

By: Gianfranco | Comments 29 Comments

Sadly I wish I hadn’t waited to post this tactics piece, but I will be brutally honest I knew Milan’s 4-3-3 was suicidal and the Napoli match case in point.

Chievo 1 Milan 2

The 4-3-3 is in an interesting beast in it’s own right, and I want to devote a full blow post to it on Tactics Tuesday. In the meantime I want to do a player review:

Coming off the High…

By: Gianfranco | Comments 28 Comments

What was looking like a season of more downs than ups, took a pretty surprising upward turn on Wednesday evening. Beating the Galacticos 2.0 at the Santiago Bernabeau is no small feat especially in a game where few Milan tifosi, let alone the footballing World even gave us a chance. Optimism though was [...]

A Draw Worse than a Loss??

By: Gianfranco | Comments 53 Comments

I really can’t get all amped up or even remotely happy about this draw. This draw is bittersweet in the fact that this draw probably only prolonged the inevitable, like going away for the weekend with your soon to be ex-girlfriend to try and rekindle the magic, only to break up on the way [...]

Milan 0 – Bari 0

By: Gianfranco | Comments 124 Comments

To say I am furious is a bit to strong. Speechless, dumbfounded, and utterly disgusted may be the better way to phrase it but at this point my nightmare of reliving the 1997-1998 season is upon me. Other than a small kudos to Bari for really playing their socks off and embarrasing us [...]

Udinese 1 – Milan 0

By: Gianfranco | Comments 33 Comments

I think it is first very important to mention that Udinese is a quality team. They are VERY talented and well coached, and purchasing any player from that team now and in the future would be a positive move for Milan and any club for that matter. When a squad contains a core [...]
