cescvanpersie, scoring an early goal vs Milan is just terrible, as it will only make Milan go forward more often and make dangerous attacks.
Stopping Pirlo's Passes, IMO, is Mission Impossible.
Kalac will be evaluated by Carlo, again, this evening before the match.
Maldini will be playing, but where, i dont know.

Kaka-Seedorf-Gila will be unstoppable!

and Mrki, you should stop saying that Gila sucks, cuz thats just not cool. dont forget he scored 2 goals in CL

PS: Gio, Pato started from 1st min after 6 months

They won't risk Pato from the first minute. Having a weapon like him on the bench will be scary for Arsenal. Just imagine when he gets up and start to warm up...

The Arsenal defender will think: "WTF..? " and Pato will just slip away with the ball after a second.

Oh yeah, I like this "trick" .

Likely subs will see Gila subbed for Pato, Inzaghi on for Seedorf, and then Emerson for maybe Gattuso. It might be a nil nil with all the talk of goals. but i believe in a Milan win because of Nesta, Pirlo, Gattuso, Kaka, Pato. Our fulcrum players IMO.

The only thing we know for sure is that Carlitto will put his usual CL 4-3-2-1 ...
A system which make us winning against teams very offensive like MU last year ... so I think we can be (at least a bit lol) confident for tonight !!

PS: My prediction is => 1 goal from Gila, 2 goals from Kaka' (his comeback to his very high level from last year !!). I don't know how many goals we're going to take anyway lol !!

Marking Pirlo is very possible...I haven't seen anything frm AC milan so far this season to tell me that Pirlo cannot be marked.
Kaka has been marked out by lesser players that SAGNA and CLICHY in serie A.
But he is top class so i hope he has an off day.

Eduardo must be clinical, Fabregas must outshine Pirlo and Flamini must be solid.
Gatusso doesn't have much match fitness so i hope that'll be a liability...I'm not scared of Pato...he hasn't done anything to me...he has played against rubbish defenders...2 of his 4 goals were against GENOA...

Adebayor must work the milan defence in order for Eduardo to exploit the space.
Hleb must do a lot of dribbling runs and slip in those passes for Eduardo to finish.

C'mon Arsenal!!!

So you actually follow Milan this season? That's impressive.

lol i'm sorry but his displays against livorno wasn't exactly world class.
Every player has off days but he has been having too many for me

C'mon Arsenal!!!

thanks for such an extensive and comprehensive strategy.
Now here ours:
1)Pass to Kaka

so let me get this right, you watch him in 1 Match, and then you judge his over-all Performance?

I have such a bad feeling about this game, I can't remember the last time I was this pessimistic about Milan in the CL. I really think we'll get beaten 0-4 or something.

Note, if you have such a pistemistic feeling, DO NOT SHARE.


Please ?
