Preferred Formation

Dida

17 Simic
5 Costacurta
3 Maldini
18 Jankulovski

32 Brocchi
21 Pirlo

7 Oliveira
22 Kakà
10 Seedorf

11 Gilardino

Ancelotti plays a 4-2-3-1 against Empoli
I like this formation with Oliveira playing more on the right side and helping the miedfielders
He has the skills to do that

-----------------dida----------------
---cafu----nesta----bonera------jankulovski----
----serginho----pirlo------kaka-------gourcuff
--------------gila--------oliveiira(inzaghi)

If Milan could achieve this squad it would be amazing:

Playing a 4-1-1-2-2

Dida


Oddo Nesta Bonera Janks


Emerson


Pirlo Gattuso

Kaka

Ronaldo Gilardino


And If you get Ronaldinho then Replace him with Gila, As Gila is nothing special he just has his days and can score.. Sometimes..

This is my preferred lineup:

------------------DIDA------------------


-------ODDO --- NESTA ---------- MALDINI ---JANKU-------


-----------GATTUSO--PIRLO--EMERSON--------------


-------------SEEDORF--------------------


---RONALDO----------KAKA---

Ooo. I like that line - up, it allows us to play with 1 striker since there aren't many good options in attack for us this year, but only until we get adriano and r10

Hey, I like that formation, too. With Kaka can play both CAM and support Forward, we can switch between XMax and Diamond 442.

Dida

Oddo - Nesta - Maldini - Jankulovski

Gattuso - Pirlo - Seedorf

Kaka

Ronaldo - Inzaghi

Dida
Oddo-Nesta-Kaladze-Jankulovski
Gattuso-Pirlo-Emerson
Kaka-Seedorf
Ronaldo

What's wrong with Ambro now? Or is this just tactical?

LOL nevermind, I thought this was the Supercup thread

I guess its a good headache like they call it, but I'm sure you will all remember that next transfer window, we will have Pato available, so how would he fit into the lineup? who would he replace?

It would be one of the two defensive midfielders, definitely. Two of Gattuso/Ambro/Emerson would be sacrificed so we can play with two strikers. If it were up to me I would have Ambro and Gattuso out there all the time because our team is soooooooo balanced that way. Even though I'd love to see Pato and Ronaldo up front, I think Milan will play better with the X-mas tree.

no, no more x-mas tree in serie a, in the ucl maybe.

Dida

Oddo-Nesta-Maldini-Janku
Gattuso-Pirlo
Kaka-Gorky(seedorf)
Ronaldo(pato)
Pippo(Gila)

Just as another option to totally surprise our opponents what do people think of something like this:

Dida

Bonera, Nesta, Kaladze

Oddo, Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini, Seedorf

Kaka, Gilardino/Ronaldo

Just an idea

Ancelotti did mention he is going to try that after the break. Check acmilan.com

"I think that after the break we shall see in many games the Milan with two strikers. Seedorf wants to play behind the attackers since always, but in the first years he sacrificed himself. We could also change the tactic, we could also play with two attackers and two forwards. It's difficult to choose, but it's always better to choose and to make a mistake, rather than not having the possibility of choice."

----------------------------- DIDA ------------------------------------

------BONERA/KALADZE ----- NESTA --------- SERGINHO/MALDINI -------

ODDO/GATTUSO ------------- PIRLO ------------------------- AMBROSINI

----------------KAKA -------------------- SEEDORF ---------------------

-----------------------GILA ------- RONALDO ---------------------------

If I was the manager of Milan, looking at the current squad: it would be 4-2-1-1

---------------------------Kalac--------------------------------

----Cafu-----------Kaladze---------Nesta-----------Jankulovski--

--------------------Gattuso--------Pirlo--------------------------

------------Kaka-------------------------Seedorf----------------

------------------------Aubameyang/Ronaldo---------------------

----------------------------Gilardino/Inzaghi----------------------

Reason for Kalac being in goal because he is on form at the moment and rotate the center-forwards and support strikers
