Atalanta

Crossing is admittedly crap though... A lot of wasted crosses so far.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN A GOAL FFS

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

Great effort from Kaka

Kaka should have hit it harder there

OOOOOOOOOOO KAKA!!! Watch Kaka's brilliant exploitation of the space coming from the middle. So composed under pressure as which is why I prefer him more inside the box.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Kaka's 100th goal

GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL KAKAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAA GR JNSHJG BERJ HBRLEGJHB LER YJRTKYT KT

HIS 100TH GOAL FOR MILAAAAAAAAN

KAKA

Excellent opportunity spurned by Nocerino though in his defence it's an awkward angle to generate power in a header from, particularly whilst being pushed in the back.

I'd personally like to see Emanuelson becoming more involved in the play. De Sciglio has been brought into the play well as either a quick switch from the left or being released by Cristante or Matri, however Urby has been far more reserved thus far in attack, largely due to the movement of Nocerino which in combination of Kaka and Robinho's tendency to take up positions down the left means that Urby can rarely approach as an overlapping option. It can be said though that a more disciplined role suits him in a game such as this in which his pace is a useful asset in defending against the counter.

Nice shot from Kaka though he failed to get hold of it as he would have liked.

As I type this, Urby assists Kaka. A captain's goal from Ricky, wonderfully composed finish.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL KAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SIAM VENUTI FI QUAN SIAM VENUTI FI QUAN PER VEDERE SEGNARE KAKA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant counter-attack and well done by Emanuelson to carry and split the defence. Kaka again showing brilliant composure in the box.

Our set-piece defending has been much improved btw.

Seeing a lot of new ideas this match.

Why is honda in the stands and rami on the bench?

NDJ ain't bad technically, has some good ball control IMO

De jong looks good too.

Personally surprised that a yellow card wasn't produced for that challenge, a cynical shirt pull to disrupt a promising counter. Not that I'm complaining that Mattia got away with it, mind you.

Honda just arrived at Milano yesterday.

Rami should come on in the 2nd half though.

Very impressed with our play post-Kaka goal.

Urby is the 2nd best attacking LB in the world after Marcelo

Crossing good now

The subtitle to the thread

Honda only arrived in Milan yesterday, whilst I suspect Rami isn't featuring from the start today as whilst I believe the management sees our defence relying upon a Mexes-Rami partnership for the rest of the year, Mexes has missed several games recently through flu and injury and they might prefer to give him a game to ease himself back into things before then using him as the foundation for Rami's introduction. This is merely speculation on my part however.

He's been our best player this season

marcelo doesn't attack much anymore since both CR7 and isco end up in front of goal :sad: you need marcelo to at least stop them from going full speed at the box on our left. He at least makes them slow down slightly...

OOOOOOOOOOOOO

Atlanta hit the post

What's nocerino's job exactly. I can't figure it out.

HT

Milan 1-0 Atlanta

Good match so far

What a crap cross by matri... That should have beena great chance at least...
