Serie A: AC MILAN-LAZIO, Sunday, 21-9-08

the most difficult game so far... Milan Merda can`t afford to lose 3 games in a row... but on the other side they will be forced to attack. i think the key of this game will be the defence. i hope to see Foggia from minute 1 and not Mauri.

I think it's going to be really hard agianst Milan. I know that they have lost two games in row but I think they will regroup agianst us..but that's only what I think.

We need Rocchi in this game, and please let Foggia play from the start. We need the hime.

2-2. Rocchi and Brocchi.

I have watched both of Milan's first 2 matches and noticed that against Bologna in particular at San Siro, Milan's weakness is on the counter attack.

If our defence can hold out against Kaka and R80 etc, we have the ability to score goals on the counter. Zarate, Pandev whoever starts will certainly cause problems for Milan

if the defence holds out, we can win this game


I hope Ancelotti stays in the job too, because a new coach can sometimes get his side to play really well the first week especially.

Ancelotti's destiny is in Lazio's hand... Feel sorry for the man, but I think we will force him out of Milan..

Hopefully we will force him out! If we win this game we can dream on reaching something big this season!

these are the games where we must show we deserve to be in europe so.... I say let's go crush milan .. a hard game indeed there is no second doubt about it but with more concentration and confidence by the 2 wins we can make it happen! FORZA LAZIO!

with 6 out of 6, the confidence must be very high
Milan are now in really shambles, and this can be the right time to put Ancelotti knock-out in the 3rd round
our defence must be top on the day, and we still have JPC to save the day, and with Pandev & ZaRete-Rete-Rete any half chance is a goal and with Brocchi in play, he will prove for 300% that Milan was wrong dumping him

It surely is a very difficult game. Pressure is high on both sides. If Lazio will win this one. I mean WIN then its not just luck that brought us 9 points in a row. Milanmerda know quite surely in which position they are at the moment. But i believe in our guys and i think NOW its time for Angelotti to leave. And correct me if i am wrong but milan must play an europe game on wednesday?
If Zarate scores then i will cryyyyyyyyyy:D
I hope with this game Rossi now realizes that Mauri is out of form and that Manfedini puts us in a situation called-10 Laziali on field.
Anyway i feel the same confidence like on Doria game. I hope i am not wrong

Non Mollare Mai!!!!!!!

This will be a very difficult and tricky game but I am confident that Rossi and the team will prepare well for it. Milan are a good team with great players and even though they have no points from 2 games they can always catch anyone out. Their coach has pressure on him to get a good result and surely with Ancelotti possibly having his job on the line I feel his team will put on a good show against us. He is a terrific coach who I personally have great respect for but the team has high morale with 2 wins out of 2 so it will not be easy for either team.

I think they have a Uefa Cup game around the game and so I am not too sure what he thinks about that - in regards to which players to rest and which ones to field for both games. I feel good with how Lazio is playing at the moment and can definitely cause Milan problems. Hopefully there are no injury concerns for this match and Matuzalem is back and Rocchi would be a great boost aswell. All in all a definite hard encounter coming up at the San Siro but I feel good about the chance Lazio has of coming out of Milano with a satisfying result.

Lets continue the great start.... FORZA LAZIO!!!!

Milan play FC Zurich at the San Siro on Thursday

The danger is Milan will pick themselves up, dust themselves down and come out all guns blazing. However, their attitude will be determined by their European performance midweek. Milan know that they can kiss goodbye to Serie A if they lose to us but it is a team full of champions and I don't expect them to go down without an incredible fight. The home game we had against them last year was played in similar circumstances and we got hammered.

We can and must avenge this. We're top of the table, full of confidence and we must go to Milan with no fear. I think we should attack rather than defend, try and dent their confidence early on and believe in what we are doing. I think we can attack better than we can defend and I think that's the case for them too so I reckon both sides should play to their strengths. It should be an excellent game.

No matter what happens I want to see brave Lazio hearts on the pitch fighting for victory. It is the only way to take something from this match, we have nothing to lose....

So what do you guys say? Is it only our defense who has problemos or is it more then just that?
And I mean to win agianst Milan Merda, bring it on!

NON MOLLARE MAI MY FRIENDS!!!

Milan actually played very well in the first game against Bologna, with Ronaldinho creating a lot, just no one to finish.

They can and probably will play good football, its up to us to fight and match them.

Good thing is - we have confidence, we got a result there last season, we wont take it easy because everyone knows Milan have world class individuals.

I'd also consider starting Radu. I may be wrong because I only watched half of the Samp game (crappy stream :( ) but Kolarov while being an absolute gun going forward, can sometimes lose the ball too easily at the back and Samp nearly scored like this. Radu wont be as threatening but more stable defensively. Lichtsteiner = impressive. Solid and wins tackles. If we want to hold out Milan and play on the counter, we need to remain strong. Opinions on this?? Or am I worried about nothing??

we need a perfect fastbreak match.

It's simple for me. Radu and Lichtsteiner are backs but Kolarov and De Silvestri are wing backs. For me, the defence is still the weakest area of the team and the attack is clearly working. If it was me, I think I would go with Radu and Lichtsteiner. It would make sense to have a defensive back line and hit Milan on the counter. I would start with Foggia and we just play to the phrase that "attack is the best form of defence". Milan will look to attack us I am sure as they have been poor in defence so I would hassle them, press them and hit them quick and be direct, push their defence back and keep the likes of Kaka and Ronaldinho from getting a foothold in the game. That's the only sensible option for me. If Delio wants it to be a game of Siviglia v Kaka then he can but I would be amazed if Sebastiano came out on top, therefore we need to attack from the off.

actually siviglia is the faster cb in the squad.
i didn't like him vs samp, but he 's still the faster.
that's the point.

i apologize: fastest e not faster.
fastest.

Radu is certainly quicker than Siviglia. And so I Diakite from what I have seen of him.

We haven't beaten Milan since forever, so even if we lose it won't be a tragedy unless we lose heavily. If Milan play like against genoa we have very good chances, their defence is a total joke and the attack is Kaka running with the others walking around aimlessly. But I think they will be geared up to win and the ref might help too. We need to keep our cool, the more the result stays 0-0 or in our favour, the more desperate Milan will be. I suggest we play Brocchi, Dabo (if fit) and Ledesma in midfield and simply frustrate Milan for as long as possible while trying counters.

Even though I didnt agree with the Brocchi signing but I thik he is key here, who else knows the opposition better, and Ancelotti in particular

I think Radu will be better choice than Kolarov for this match...Aleksandar prove that he is very good attacking but not so well defensive.As for the match I want win but sure would be satisfied with a draw.FORZA LAZIO

After the playing, which milanmerda shown with genoa, and after our FOOTBALL what we see last two games, I think we have to win the following game not harder then we did samp! May be its very optimistic oppinion, but I see it so. Forza Grande Lazio!

except Siviglia, i agree with your point.
please remember that will play vs zurich on thurday night, ancelotti will work out some turn over.

imho kaka won't play the uefa match.
gatuso, nesta and inzaghi are definetely injured.

back to siviglia: he's the leading guy, he keeps the line and orders the offline. i don't get crazy for him but he is very experienced.

Week 2: LIVE GENOA-MILAN

They must show a hattrick boardcast for Milan again otherwise...

This is a VERY dangerous match. Despite Milan being 0-2, they are still so dangerous and so skilled, it's not even funny. We will not be able to let our guard down at all in this match. Being that it's on the road...makes it even that more difficult. Regardless, I believe with the momentum we currently have and the fact that Milan are a mess DOES bode well for us. I see no reason why we can not walk out of Milan with a win or a draw.

I do think Milan is going to come out and Attack, Attack and attack. So, our defense will have to be ready. We will have to curb their assault and if we can and get an early goal, I think we'll hold our own just fine!

If we can keep things simple, we'll do fine. Solid Defense, good counter and keep pressuring Milan like we did against Samp. Milan has LOTS of other things to worry about too (internal)!

FORZA LAZIO!!!
