    shehan- i agree!

    we should have started wit 2 strikers up top. i dont think Sheva shud have played 2day… he wasnt ready… n did i mention that he pretty much sucked?! n wat d hell was carletto thinking putting on emerson wit 5 mins to go?!

    positives- zambro was great, flamini is gonna be gold 4 us n dinho truly impressed me :D i mean those pin-point passes he delivered we’re every strikers dream… n yet our forwards still found a way to waste them! it’s jus the 1st game. i’m sure we’ll improve n eventually win this seasons scudetto. also i have a strong feeling senderos is gonna b jus what we need at the back…

    Shehan,Dinho did well today, and to be honest,I didn’t expect him to play that good, but what was the end result? We brought in all these attacking players and we still couldn’t finish.
    In the end we lost 1-2,and Bologna picks up all 3 points!
    And yeah defense is still a big issue, apart from the two goals we conceded, we dodged the bullet several times from what I can recall! And remember, we are not playing Bologna every week! Do you think our defense will be able to withstand the likes of Juve, Roma, Inter,Doria,Fiorentina, and others?

    Another positive note from today’s match was how well Dinho and Zambro linked up on the left side!

    Nina- i think all those attacking signings we made will pay off in time. once they become well integrated n they learn to understand eachother things will go our way *crosses fingers*. also it depends on carletto chosing the right tatics n formations n players for each situation… i dont know how much i trust him to do that…

    Nina, even Real(title holders) lost to Deportivo 2-1, I am feeling much better than you. But both Barca and Real lost away games. Milan lost at their own home - Sansiro. That thing is some what hurting me.

    Thanks fetyani for the video link. I particularly wanted to see Rhonnie’s performance and am not disappointed.

    Guys, guys guys!

    Last season was typified by Milan dominating teams for large spells but being unable to land the killer punch whilst at the same time being exposed at the back.

    The two goals we conceded yesterday remind me of the goals we conceded against Napoli when we unveiled the Ka-Pa-Ro.

    The summer saw us linked to players who it could be debated werent what Milan needed and already we can hear the knives being sharpened!

    Its too easy to write off Shev & Dino (or write them up for that matter!) as you really cant judge Milan after one performance so early on in the season.

    But i will say this, if, both Shev & Dino had put away the excellent chances they both had, we would surely be raining down praise on them both.

    I just hope we dont leave it as late as last season to rally to the cause!

    Seedorf was the worst player for Milan!

    yep seedorf wasent the best one, but the attacks of dino(from flinstones) were so slow and predictable that bolognas defence took some coffee on half time… zzzzz

    Waa? u must have missed the two chances he set up for Pippo & Shev (who then failed to put them away!).

    Dino was soo slow & predicatable & Flintstone that Arrigoni had to have Dino man marked in the second half!

    And even then he was causing them problems!

    Im not sayn that Dino is as good as he used to be but he still did well on Sunday.

    Wait a minute who set up our only goal? Oh yeah! It was…………………………..

    the whole team was playing for that dino, all of the passes were going to him… the chances he created werent good enough pipo and sheva had no options to show what they can thats not they strenght - dinos passes were for gameplay with jan koller - thats not Milans strenght - without dino milan would score more - thats my point - and i hope that soon my words will be proved
    dino should play faster and not to slow the ball - the playmaker should not make the strikers to wait for the ball…

    urban, did you watch the game?

    did you note that dinho’s first touch in the serie A was a majestic slide-rule pass to inzaghi?

    did you notice the 1-2 ronaldinho played with inzaghi? forward pass to inzaghi, whose fighting both central defenders, he holds the ball long enough, ronaldinho comes running in, pippo passes to ronaldinho, pippo makes a run forward, both of bologna’s central defenders chase the ball to ronaldinho who majestically SCOOPS the ball over their heads to the ONside inzaghi who eventually scuffs the shot. did you watch that?

    did you see the 4 runs in 4 minutes in the second half by ronaldinho where he tore apart bologna’s right hand side (milans left)? did you see him pick out seedorf and shevchenko at the far posts? did you see him continue his near post crosses to inzaghi?

    you obviously didnt. do you know why mundiyagi was brought into the game at the 60th minute? to mark ronaldinho on the left. thats how much he was tearing bologna apart, they changed their whole game plan just to contain and restrict him.

    and because its so obvious that you didnt see any of the above; i am providing you with a brief clip of ronaldinho’s exploits in our last game. please enjoy.
