Come on Milano ....

[Aficio]

I didn't think my love for ACM2012 was ended so early

Anyway, like Zeekay said, fans should believe in improvement and we surely are improving. Serie A teams are hard to deal with because they know us so well and this is a league of tacticians, but the problem is lesser in Europe at this stage.

I expect a win, but am patient enough for a draw.

ACM2012 is sad, but there is not much that he can do.

Zenit was in some deep crisis too, all due to the signings of Hulk and Witsel and their high salaries that angered the Russian players on the team. Let's hope that we could somehow gain on that, though I expect a hard-fought draw.

Forza Milan.

Very hard game coming up, to be fair I cant see us take a win there with our current form. We could have 1/6 after 2 games, scary!

[xudong]

Seeing there is no hope doing well in the Serie A, I would rather we focus on CL, that is, try to get out of the group and pray for some better schedule afterwards. CL is an anything-could-happen event.

I think right now is the best time to face Zenit, who like us are really struggling.

Hopefuly we can keep growing and play positive in this game. A draw will not be a disaster as it will keep Zenit behind us in the standings, and depending on what happens in the other game (I expect Malaga to win), we can be in 2nd position. Not ideal and nothing to be happy about in this group, but considering how we've started the season we would still have a very good chance of advancing.

Losing this game though, should not be an option as it will make it very difficult for us and we will be under immense pressure in the following games.

I obviously hope for a win though. If we manage to win this game, I believe we will advance from this group and perhaps turn our season around. It will be great for the confidence of the team and a great boost before the derby.

As for the line-up, I hope that Bojan starts again. It doesn't necessarily have to be in place of Pazzini however.

Abbiati - (Abate - Zapata - Mexes - De Sciglio) - (De Jong - Montolivo - Emanuelson) - (El Shaarawy - Pazzini - Bojan)

I think we can win this game!

Forza MILAN!!!

Urby as LM and get some crosses in ! FORZA Ema, show some creativity like last cl game.

I think right now is the best time to face Zenit, who like us are really struggling.

The same thought crossed my mind too, but I read that things are getting better now with Zenit. I don't know by how much though.

If we met them a few weeks ago, we could have really kicked their asses when they were really down. Now it is up in the air. Damn.

[am I Milan enough?]

Trip to Russia is always not an easy one and even this time when we are still finding ourselves, a draw will be good enough for me. win will be bonus and extra boost for upcoming derby !

SES - Pazzoka - Bojan sounds good to me
