We do need to give Ibra a rest, and if we don't manage to do it this match, when can we?

Official

The health manager of AC Milan, Dr. Gianluca Melega, announced that the player Daniele Bonera has been stretching the flexor hallucis longus left.

i'm guessing these are some brain cells he has never used

as for the attack i think Pato showed good signs and urgency as Gio said and we desperately need him to find some form before the CL return leg so him and Cassano should definitely start. The 3rd could be binho to give Ibra some rest. He was really bad against tot.

[Gio-mania]

La Gazzetta put Cassano ahead of Pato for this match, not sure why. I would actually be willing to bench Ibra to let both of them play. But the point of letting Pato play was to connect with Ibra. I am also very interested in seeing Ibra's reaction against Chievo. His hunger very much reflects the teams hunger, seeing as his performance reflects the teams performance and vice versa.

As for our rivals I don't think we can expect points lost. Inter play Cagliari at San Siro, and I expect them to take the match. I did see Inter's first half in midweek against i Viola though, and they were pitiful. Napoli take on Catania, quite easy especially considering Catania are even weaker then before due to Mascara being sold (to Napoli).

[Gio-mania]

Abbiati will start this game, good news.

Also we will be wearing a special jersey for the match, in honor of Silvio's 25 years at this club. It's white with his signature in gold on the chest (http://images2.gazzettaobjects.it/Hermes...0219104728)

[abbeyleemania]

Merkel starts over Emanuelson. Cassano over Pato. Robinho over Seedorf. Boateng can play in second half.

Lavezzi got a 3 match ban so he will miss Milan game.

[HO-YOUNG]

with the lead cut to two points every game must be treated like a final... we must win...

You are sooooo correct. We need to show some viciousness for the rest of the year. Attack , Attack , Attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This is our year. And it's all our fault if we let it slip.

---

I want Ibra to sit out this match or at least most of it. I wouldnt mind starting Pato-R70 up front with Cassano behind or even a 4-3-3 with Pato in the middle.

We have to learn how to win without Ibra.

[ACM2023]

I am surprised that nobody mentioned the obvious offside Inter Merda goal against Cagliari.

Forza Milan! 9 hours and 4 minutes to go.
