AC Milan vs Manchester United: 17 Feb

We desperately need Seedorf for this one, maybe he cant find self motivation against little clubs, but when its derby time, especialy Man.United, than Seedorf is highly motivated and give his best.
I bealive in Seedorf, speekin for this match.

im nervous for this game , I can watch league matches totally calm I can watch a Milan derby calm but with passion . But big Champions League knockout games I get sooooo nervous and I should be glad that we are there , its not that I have no confidence in Milan but damnit my fingernail's will be gone 2moro....FORZA MILAN.

I would love to see Clarence on the field, but the genius Clarence, not the one who don't want to come bakc to defend, who don't want to run but walk the most of time. I would love to see the "old" Seedorf, because he could give us a big +. But, It is time and time gone, that I didn't saw this Seedorf. The last time it was against Real in Madrid, Because at San Siro against Real he was 0. Where was there the motivation?
For Becks, yes, I saw the passes too. That were killer passes for Udinese, and not for our striker. But, I don't know how it looks at Milanello now.
I can't edit nothing, so, I will just sit in the pub, take my beer, and watch Milan

Lol, feel the same way, well I also get nervous at derby games though, don't know why. Can't imagine being a player though, lol. Call me weird, but I've been shacking (almost) since the Udinese game cause of this game.

FORZA MILAN

FORZA MILAN

Mate, ur not weird!!! Ur just a Fan

after this game all our youngsters will be world famous household names!!! Thiago will be hailed as "The Great"... Pato's name will be held in the same breath as his countryman Ronaldo... (Ronaldo was the first Striker is saw score a Natural Hattrick and it was against Man U... Borriello will make a name for his self and force his way into the Italy Squad... Nesta, Seedorf, Ambrosini and Pirlo will prove to the world that for once age is nothing but a number!!!
FORZA MILAN!!!!

This game is going to make or break us , well not really but sh1t if we could knock out Utd AGAIN YES AGAIN , then it will really shut people up who talk sh1t about Milan and sh1t about Italian football.

my 11:

--------hentelaar---------
--Ronie------------Pato---
---Seedorf---Pirlo----Gattuso--
--Abate--Nesta--- Silva---Antonini
-----------DIda---------

Hope we won't get azzes whooped again like against inter, or arsenal 2 years ago...

p.s. someone please tell me, why the f*ck huntelaar isn't playing regulary for us???? can't get it...

Anyone else think Abbiati should get the nod ahead of Dida? I think he is back to full training. Dida makes me nervous especially after fumbling so many balls against Udinese. I really have this feeling that he'll pull a move like he did against Real and drop the ball on Rooney's feet. Hope not.

Vidic and Anderson are out of the clash, good news or not?

Abbiati is in the first 11.
He is better

But why not try Becks? I mean, he is HOT on the match. And he still has the killer pass. So, we get the ball in our room, play it to Becks, and he can shoot a killer pass in front of Klaas or Pato run. Remembar Real? Pato is to fast for Mancho defence. So, this could lead us to drive Mancho defence to get a yellow for persistent fouling. Vidic is not there, that means Rio is the man, and he is not so fast. So after today news, I think that our best solution will be:
------Ambro-------
Becks-----Pirlo
So, in this case, you have an hard working capitano, and 2 players who needs just 3m of space to see the situation and make a long nice pass in the run of Klaas and Pato. Klaas will be a BIG + for us tomorow. He is faster then Marco, and that means that the Mancho defence must cope with 2 pacefull striker, and a dangerous genius on the left side.

edit: and Ronaldinho should be forbidden to drible so much. Ok a few times, but not allways the same tactic, give to Dinho, and let him drible. San Siro is not a Circus!

No to Beckham from me, I explained why, to be quick, out midfield becomes weak and will fail under pressure, and Manchester is a pressing team.

Bog NO to Ambro all alone behind 2 creators. Ambro doesn't has speed or lungs to cover so much space, even Gattuso lost his speed and stamina, so the only player who could cover so much space is Flamini, perhaps.

You say that their defense will not be able to catch Pato, just be aware that Pato is playing versus super-quick Evra.

And did I missed something about Huntelaar? It always seemed to me that he's slow, to compare not much faster than current Van Nistelrooy, how he became faster than Borriello, who's not a slow player by any means?

Midfield: flamini-Ambro-Pirlo?
Sounds good to me. But can he resist the pressure? My best would be Pirlo-Ambro and the "old" Seedorf, but Seedorf is not more old. It is time and time and time, that he didn't played a good game. We need runners, and not walking genius. Like I told in the earlyer post, I would love to see the Seedorf from Madrid, but in San Siro against Madrid, he was walking, not running. And we need 3 middfielder that run the whole time. Becks, I don't know. When I look at what he did against Udine, mamma mia. This is horrible. But, it seems that the starting 3 will be: Pirlo-Ambro-Seedorf, and in the second half Seedorf for Becks subtitute

Just for the joke, Beckham showed his killer pass during the Udinese game ... oh, I repeat, it's a joke ...

You must remember that Beckham doesnt have the capacity to speak like an interlect, so he says the simple things to look good in england and Milan...
