Roma - AC Milan (pre-game & game comments)

Another important game. Channel 4 says Sheva will be back, not sure thats true though? Nesta seems to be ok but Maldini (on official page) says he will decide during the week, ongoing knee pain.

FORZA MILAN

I'd read Shev would be back in 2 weeks, so maybe the Roma game marks the end of the 2 weeks being referred to. I just hope he doesn't rush things! Nesta was the one limping off the pitch, not Maldini! At any rate, we need one or both of them back if possible. In our favor is that Roma was defeated on Sunday, that took me by surprise. We have a Coppa Italia game on Wednesday I think it is, but I'd anticipate that Ancelotti would rest some of the more important players so they're ready for Roma. We have a better road record than home record.....I'm looking ofrward to a very good game!

Bring it on! Roma's defense is together with Inter's defense footballs answer to Swiss cheese . Allthough we have to be carefull with the Roma trident of Totti, Cassano and Montella, our midfield should be able to close down the supply for their attack.

Let's make it 8 in a row!

We're the afternoon game...I hate being the afternoon game....

Why? Then at least we have a better chanse of seeing the game on TV. Are you referring to the added pressure?

Its an evening kick off at 7.30 on Sunday with Juve playing on Sat night

I highly doubt that Sheva or Nesta will make it to this match. San Paolo will....he is not human remember?

We will most probably play the same team than against Manchester and Sampdoria, except that Kaladze or Pancaro will come to the left if fit, and if not, then San Billy might start on the left.

Either way we will get the 3 points

This is the perfect opportunity to get revenge for that ridiculous draw in the San Siro, and probably a good opportunity to show Totti the team he should be playing for next season.

With a new coach, Roma will probably be in a thorough state of confusion come Sunday, and this should ensure that we have a comfortable win...this is conditional though on who we have to replace Maldini and Nesta if they cannot start.

I dont even want to think about who would replace them if both were out, so I wont.

FORZA MILAN!!!!!

Lets hope Sheva makes it back for this fixture ...it would be nice to see him score a hat trick on his return...which should go to great lengths to increase his confidence.

Sheva!!!!!!!!!

I think Sheva will score 2. I can see Pippo being a big threat, but Chivu marking him well.

I'd do anything to see a Rui Costa goal

Now that Sheva will be back. He has a good goals record facing Roma.
I think we have a good chance to take a win over Roma.
Forza Sheva! Forza Milan!

Warro, we already have our Totti (Kaka)... I think we should try to get De Rossi (if at all)...

If Sheva plays, I wouldn't count on him to score a ton of goals up front for he will need probably at least 2-3 games to get to his best. Let's not forget that he needs to overcome a certain psycological blow from the last injury.

It will be interesting to see how Roma respond to their defeat last week - they could either be very low on confidence or very fired up to beat us. I certainly can't see it being an easy game, but having watched them against juve, I don't think there's anything we should be too worried about. If we can stay solid at the back, and make sure Totti and Cassano don't have too much time on the ball (i.e. Pirlo and Gattuso following them everywhere!) then we can definalty score against their dodgy defence.

hope milan will win.
