Boriello is just a poor man’s Gilardino, Gilardino who now is reborn just needed a new challenge at a club with a class partner up front aka Mutu. Flamini is a nothing player overall. Decent DM not going to make a difference. It’s like another Ambrosini, just this kid is getting freaking hilarious wages to play for Milan.

Anyway I cannot wait for this game to start. There is no-fcking way inter will not score at least 2 goals, as I just watched some of your Serie A games this season. Hilarious defense and little good opportunities created.

I reckon our Wingers and Ibra will kill the game quite easily against that back 4 and you will get the ball without getting really dangerous, while Inter will be dangerous every time they go up and on the counter attack when they get some space.

1-5 I reckon. With Super Mario and Adriano getting some fun too later on.

Napoli > Milan btw. They will beat you to CL like Fiorentina did last season. No point in taking about the Serie A title.

and when Milan were as good as now last season you barely touched the ball for the whole 80 mins...

think Kalac let you score that free-kick

i just love it how you Inter fans always think you're the best and no1 can beat you.

cant wait to see you crash out of yet another CL season, and no, Mourinho wont help you

I have to say that the last derby was lost because of Mancini, the midfield that sarted wasnt gonna be much trouble to yours.

what an idiot,he think that quaresma is better than ronalidnho!!!
hahahahahahah
****ing' printer!!

forza milan

Attention everybody:Carlo just announced eight of the eleven players who will start tommorow:Abbiati,Zambrotta,Maldini,Kaladze,Jankulovski,Gattuso,Kaka,Shevchenko.These are the players who will start tommorow.

The question still remains:4-3-2-1 or 4-3-1-2....

you all have to know that if Pato will play alongside Sheva then Seedorf(who is in good form and he is Carletto's favourite player...)will play in the midfield wich means that Flamini or Ambro will have to go on the bench.

I think that Seedorf should definitely play tommorow because he is one of the few players who are in form,the last 2 matches he scored a goal en gave two assists,so he must play.

just to clear things up, that post wasnt directed at you Karim

also, currently Quaresma is better than Ronnie, we'll have to wait and see what happens in the near future

Carlo also mentioned it is important to play to your strengths rather than stopping your opponent. That give the clue that Ambro or Flamini will be rested and Seedorf will play. Its logical to play Ambro because he has had a longer rest and has the advantage of being good at heading.

The fact that he hasnt said Pato will definately start could mean that Pato and Shevchenko arent the only options. Boriello could well return with either one.

The other possibility is Carlo will play Pato or Shevchenko (most likely Shevchenko) up front alone. Meaning that we have Rino, Flamini and Ambro in midfield. Although it may be useful to have Pato/Shevchenko to come off the bench. Im not sure Ronnie can be relied on just yet.

I would play like this:

GK
Abbiati

DF
Zambrotta, Maldini, Kaladze, Jankulovski

MF
Gattuso, Pirlo, Kaka, Seedorf, Ambrosini or Flamini ( if Ambro is ready, than he would be in )

FW
Pato ( if he`s ready for derby, if not then good old Sheva )

Sheva and Ronnie would be on bench and could come in 2nd half, depending on situation with players and result.

Formation: 4-3-2-1

OMG, did you even watch any of Inter games? Inter is playing pathetic at the moment, nothing more than crap. You like how inter played at the moment, i guess you are used to the crap inter dish out every match then. Milan is playing so much better than Inter currently, i don't see why milan won't win this game easily.

That time is because of coach, next time because of players, next year because of fans, at the end the man who sells merchandises near San Siro to be blamed.

Juventus drew today. If we win tomorrow we will overtake Juve on goal difference and be just a point behind inter. Come on Milan

If we were to sign Zapatta in the winter who knows what could happen

Some informations about our injured and recovered players from Manara (Social Doctor).

MAREK JANKULOVSKI
'Yesterday the player resumed training with the group. He has recovered and is available again.'

SANDRO NESTA
'Sandro is finishing the last work in the physiotherapy department. From Monday he will get back to the preparations and will presumably come back after the October international break. He is constantly improving. We'll see in the next few days when he will start working at a higher level.'

PIPPO INZAGHI
'Filippo will undergo a check on Monday morning. We will see how it turns out and if it will comfort us. He should be able to return on Tuesday.'

MARCO BORRIELLO
'Marco had a muscular problem to his left thigh. He was subjected to an ecographic test this morning. It's a slight problem which will keep him out for about ten days. Probably we can talk about it again after the break.'

ANDREA PIRLO
'Also Andrea had an ecography this morning which evidenced his progress. We will do another on 9 or 10 October. But he has improved notably.'

PHILIPPE SENDEROS
'The defender, who suffered an injury on Saturday before the match against Genoa, unfortunately is still feeling pain and is still unable to work with the group. We will evaluate him again in the first days of next week.'

------------------------------------------------------------------------
So we have back Janku, and Nesta is at the end of his recovery.

Guys...Carlo NEVER mentioned that Sheva will start. If you read the press conference then you'll see he actually named 7 players...not eight. So that list minus Sheva is what Carlo named. He said he has clear ideas about the rest but will not say beforehand. This will be my lineup:

Abbiati; Zambrotta, Maldini, Kaladze, Jankulovski; Gattuso, Seedorf, Ambrosini; Kaka; Shevchenko, Pato

We have to play to our strengths if we want to win. This means attacking possession football. Two DM's is MORE than enough to control the midfield. More important to controlling midfield is to be able to keep possession with quick passing when necessary. Christmas tree with 3 DM would be suicide IMO and a disaster looking for a place to happen. Pato has to play, he's on a good run.
