Milan vs chievo

Im so dissapointed... this is only my 2nd post in here since Manchester.

For now its important to somehow beat Chievo or we can shoot ourselves in the head and not play serie a anymore coz this is our 3rd chance to go straight for the scudetto.

Then its a MUST to recuperate Antonini, Bonera ( who has proved he is FAr away from what AC Milan needs, but... ) and PATO. And we have a chance to win this comically pathetic league that once was the strongest league in the world.

Tommorow I'd play Huntelaar and Borriello again, with Flamini, Pirlo and Seedorf.

Geo, I agree with Revolver about Oddo's defending. You cannot say Abate deends better then Oddo, its nonsence my friend. Oddo is a very good DEFENDER, when he is not injured like all of our veterans...

Well, as someone gave one good game of Oddo, I can give you a game when he was a joke of a defender: the first leg against Marseille ...

Revolver, actually, Beckham never was used as a winger, but more like a right midfielder. He was often on the same line as other midfielders, he was just more on the right and tried more often to cross than the others ..

LeBRn, I hope Flamini will start ... but Gattuso didn't play the last two games (Roma and MU) and I read on TMW that Gattuso could be prefered to Flamini this W-E. Just hope it's not true. I'm 100% for using Flamini in all games, as long as he is fit, during the end of this season. If we can win this championship and at the same time manage to mature some players (Abate, Antonini, Flamini, and if possible, Pato because for me, he didn't improve this season, but it's because of his position), it will be perfect for next season !!

From acmilan.com:

That means he will be out for the end of this season for sure ...

Glad to see that Antonini and Pato will be soon available (next W-E I think). Mancini still has to prove that he can be useful. Nothing to say for Onyewu, maybe "welcome" ?

Wow we have to play either KK or Favalli in the middle. This is tuff. I dont know a thing about Chievo, the stats show they dont let other teams score easily.

Im picking KK next to Thiago only because he is younger.

Abate-Seedorf-Flamini
Becks-R80
H11

I know many have not liked the way Becks has been playing but i still think he is one of our best crossers.

H11 gets at least a half game chance in this one, if he gets chances and fails put in Pippo or B22 or both and take out becks and move R80 into the middle.

Im hoping the mids can hold the ball on chievos end most the game. And the defence just thinks about defending nothing else. If we have a nice lead with 10-15 min left we should introduce Adiyiah and Pippo into the game.

For All Of These Guys Who Say No To Dzeko , He Socred Two Goals Again Today !!! He Is A Beasttt

Anyways Why Dont We Play Albertazzi In Defence??

It seems like we are doing group homework of optimisation

I agree, that Oddo and Zam are better than Abate and Janku at defense, but they are still not fit for a match. Moreover, Abate and Janku could support the attack very well, especially Abate - Beck.

To keep the balance, we should use 2 DM to cover: Flamini and Gattuso.

Rino has lost his stamina, but his muscular strength is still one of the best. Maldini, at the age of 40, was the second best in overall fitness of all Milan players. The speed, stamina could be lost, but strength remains longer.

Against big team, Rino can not fighting over and over, but he did his job well against teams that rely on counter. In the match against Bari, he ate opponent's forwards well, one of them left due to injury.

In our trident: Dinho - Borri - Pato, when Dinho has the ball, Pato becomes second forward, not a winger. Similarity, with Dinho - Borri/Hunter - Beck, when Beck has the ball, Dinho become second forward, and he is a good header. In the matche with Roma, Abate passed to Beck, then Beck made a beautiful cross for Dinho, but he missed the target when the GK stand still.

So, this is my formation:

-------------------------------Abbiatti-------------------------------
---Abate-----------Silva-----------------Favalli----------Janku---
-----------Gattuso-----------Pirlo--------------Flamini------------
---Beck---------------------------------------------------Dinho------
--------------------------------Hunter--------------------------------

I use Hunter in stead of Borri, because he sense the chance better than B22. He did miss the chance against big teams like Inter, Roma, MU but at least he move himself to have these chances, he is more hopeful. Last match agains Chievo, Hunter started, so he has the experience.

With this line up, I believe in Gattuso, Dinho and Hunter. If the three of them play well, we'll win.

Last time, we won Chievo thanks to 2 goal of Nestagol. Now Sandro's season is over. Let's win this match and the Scudetto for him!!!

Don't think that because I'm French and Flamini is French ...
I think it's obvious I don't care about nationalities of players, they can be French, Italian, Brazilian, Chinese, or whatever else, I want the best for Milan, nothing else (for example, read my last post in the Banter topic ).

Flamini just showed he was one of our best midfielders in 180 minutes (Roma and MU), two big games, whereas he doesn't play that often. Gattuso has not been that good this season, even if he progressively improves.

NO WAYYYYY MAN
that's not what i meant at all....
i know ur not a french fanatic and that's why i appreciate ur opinions...
i just meant that u always had good judgement on players so i would have been surprised if u thought Gattuso is better than Flamini...that's all

He is too young and have no experience. It is too risky to try at this time.

He is not called up this time, he does not have squad number either when De Vito does. Maybe he is still not good enough?

However, Adiyiah is include in the list. I want to see him in action. Of course, when we lead with 2 goals

Forza Milan

1st - Inter (59 pts) +1
2nd - Milan (55 pts)
3rd - Roma (52 pts)
4th - Palermo (46 pts)
5th - Juventus (44 pts)
6th - Sampdoria (43 pts)
7th - Napoli (41 pts) +1
8th - Cagliari (39 pts)
9th - Genoa (39 pts)
10th - Fiorentina (38 pts) +1
11th - Chievo (35 pts)

12/03/10 - 20:45
Catania 3-1 Inter (FT)

13/03/10 - 20:45
Napoli 1-3 Fiorentina (FT)

14/03/10 - 15:00
Juventus - Siena
Udinese - Palermo
Livorno - Roma
Bologna - Sampdoria
Genoa - Cagliari

14/03/10 - 20:45
Milan - Chievo

Very bad result for Napoli in the race for the CL, as they see Fiorentina coming back and could lose much if Juventus, Sampdoria, Palermo and one between Cagliari and Genoa win their game tomorrow ...

Oh sorry LeBRn, I just had a very small doubt, so I wanted to clear that. And thanks !!
