Sami Allagui 17
Sergio Claudio "Serginho" 17
Yoann Gourcuff 17
Ahmed Hassan 21
Gennaro Ivan Gattuso 21

if gourcuff plays, i would not underestimate hin
my lineup:
---------------------Dida-----------------
Simic / Cafu - Nesta - Maldini - Jankulovski
Gattuso ---- Seedorf -------- Gourcuff
----------------Kaka---------------------
-----Gilardino------------Oliveira---------

I put seedorf instead of pirlo, because he looked very exhausted against inter, and i think he needs to rest some games

I think Gourcuff will play some part in this match, say the last 20 mins or so, but i've be surprised if he's used from the start.

Funniest part is that Serginho has more odds to score a goal than Gattuso while he is injured!! haha!

LOL; that's how they make money isn't it ?

i don't get those odds at all, 1.66 this and 5.3 that .... why can't they just use the normal 16/1 or 5/1 system?

Lol !
I concidere myself expert in betting, and i must say i'm well known in betting forums around the net ( under another nickname, of course )

It's very easy actually.
You have odds 1.66, which means you get 1.66 pounds for 1 pound... if you put 100 pounds on a 1.66 bet, you'll get 166 pounds.

If you have more bets...f.e :
1. Milan to beat Anderlecht , odds 1.15
Chelsea to beat Bayern , odds 2.15
Villa to beat Pompey , odds 1.85
and you wanna put them in a combo, you'll do this : ( 1.15 x 2.15 x 1.85) x Stake. If your stake is 100 pounds on this combo you''ll get 457 pounds if you win it.

It's easy as you can see
(sorry for going off topic)

my lineup:
-----------dida-----------
bonera--nesta--simic--marek
----------brocchi--------
---ambrosini---gourcuff--
---------kaka'-----
---oliveira----gilardino

Or maybe it would be good to rest Kak' for the whole match, and change the formation. Against Inter Kaladze was simply horrible, so was Marek. Simic can easily play as a CB as he is super this year, and its important that Gilardino plays with Oliveira as those 2 function well together.

Ahh, i see. Thanks Tony.

So it's almost identical to normal betting, except it now has decimal points. I still think saying 2/1 would be as good as saying 1.67 ... i don't see much point in being that precise

Ok, all the betting is well and good...any idea of who will b showing the game?

For this one, Kaka should rest...at least for the first half...it (the result) is important, but we need to focus on the league on the weekend...so we need to have him rested.

Hope Gourcuff is available..though he wont play from the start I dont think.

Simic should feature, as should Marek...he was subdued during the derby, but this can be expected after playing quite well for several matches..the derby IMO was just too intense for him.

Seedorf...lets hope he has one half of good football, then replace him with Gourcuff..who to replace Pirlo, who is spent?...now, what did we do with Foggia again? Loaned him out because we are chock full of A-list players?

If you want to rest Kaka, then i think you have to play Seedorf behind the 2 strikers and Brocchi in Seedorf's role? Then at a certain point introduce Gourcuff and Inzaghi i guess.

I would start with

Dida, Cafu, Simic, Maldini, Jankulovski, Gattuso, Pirlo, Brocchi, Seedorf, Oliveira, Gilardino.

Subs to be used: Kaladze, Gourcuff and Inzaghi.

Let Kaka & Nesta rest this game.

That sounds good to me Jim...I will let Carlo decide (and he will prob play Kaka from the start), as I am a tad bit depressed, plus, I got chewed out by the boss this morning..so its not a good week for me...plus, I will have to watch the match via streaming, since it doesnt appear that ESPN will carry the game...

It seems they wont carry any Wednesday game live, unless I am mistaken...

Anderlecht's striker Frutos is injured so we won't have to worrie about their attack because he is the most dangerous man at Anderlecht's side.
We should play a very attacking game and score as soon as possible to decide the game early in the match.

Dida,
Cafu, Maldini, Kaladze, Brocchi
Gattuso, Seedorf, Jankulovski
Kaka,
Oliveira, Gilardino.
