AlanSkÃrare Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Milan - Napoli tonight was one of the worst games I've watched since Sweden - Turkey in Euro 2000. How are those two fighting it out for the title down there? Lavezzi was missing for Napoli, should be taken into account, but the passing in that game was horrible and the fact that Milan are relying on Ibra, Robinho and Pato to do everything on their own (Cavani for Napoli) just goes to show that they are mediocre teams with very good centre forwards - the exact way Shearer described Marseille after they knocked us out of the Uefa cup with Drogba. Milan as usual fielding their super-creative-flair packed midfield of Gattuso-Van Bommel-Flamini. God I hate seeing Zlatan at that club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I see both of them play the more I think Inter will win the league. The only reason they aren't top now is because Rafa was such a pathetic joke.

Mr. Snrub Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 That Stoke game was nothing to do with form. First half we never looked like losing in a million years then he takes off Ben Arfa and Tiote. You'll rarely see a manager get it so wrong. Ben Arfa did fuck all in that game tbf. Taking off Tiote was a shit decision though. Wouldn't be surprised if they do the double over us though, they'll do their usual home performance. Ben Arfa was getting a lot of the ball, and sure enough 5 minutes after we lost that outlet we conceded. He didn't do anything special but he was neat and tidy in possession and looked like he could make things happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh to blame just Rafa, injuries have taken a toll too. Still don't like Milan's midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Nixon. Inter still have injuries problem and they have been winning and winning since Rafa. And honestly, Leonardo isn't the most tactical person in the world but hell he makes his players want to play. Rafa was absolute shit. There was only Rafa to blame.

Guest optimistic nit Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 They snuffed him out quite well. take someone like ben arfa off and stoke were able to play much more freely. even if he wasn't playing particulary well (which he wasn't iirc) the threat alone of someone with his ability stops a team from being able to push forward as much as they were able too in the second half.

Gash Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Andrei need's to improve a bit more still but it's good news that he is coming back a little now also Chamakh never 'lost it' like some journo's are making out, he simply got dropped for RvP and never got chance to prove it, after his early season form i want him starting ahead of Bendtner. Also, a 3 week Van Persie injury i may request odds on him not playing again this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gash Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Can't believe Mr Wenger isn't playing Szczesny tomorrow either, seemed like the perfect remedy against a, relatively, easy team to show faith in him (and Koscielny for that matter)! Unless he had already told him prior he wouldn't be playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea loaned out Alex for 3 years so he could get Dutch citizenship. I'm assuming you'll do the same, or try to get the 'special talent dispensation'. Infact if he continues like this he'll be in the national team soon and might be able to get a work permit anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we get special dispensation i'd be happy to see him come in this summer and get rid of Rosicky, obviously won't get the special dispensation so soon so perhaps it'll be next summer.

Arshavin is "coming back a little"? i assume you're basing that purely on his performance vs Barca because other then that he's been ridiculously bad. Don't your fans jeer himnow or is that all changed based on that 1 goal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
