5-0? Someone's been smoking dope over there.

We will get waxed, though, if we spend all our time focusing on Nakamura instead of the other 10 players.

This from acmilan.com...dont kno what it means for match time, but this could be a clue to the actual starting line up:

Milan had a training session at Celtic Park at 6pm local time (7pm CET). Carlo Ancelotti divided the squad up, with the following players wearing bibs: Kalac; Oddo, Kaladze, Maldini, Jankulovski; Brocchi, Gattuso, Pirlo, Gourcuff; Kakà, Gilardino. Ambrosini, Seedorf and Bonera also put on bibs during the session.

It could mean Kaka'-Gourcuff-Gila up front....

you're right Mrki here are the official lineups:

Celtic (4-4-2): Boruc; Wilson, McManus, O'Dea, Naylor; Nakamura, Sno, Lennon, McGeady; Vennegoor Of Hesselink, Miller.
Milan (4-3-2-1): Kalac; Oddo, Maldini, Kaladze, Jankulovski; Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Kakà, Gourcuff; Gilardino

finally we'll see Kaka-Gourcuff partnership

The official line-ups:

Milan (4-3-2-1):

Kalac.

Oddo - Maldini - Kaladze - Jankulovski.

Gattuso - Pirlo - Ambrosini.

Kakà - Gourcuff.

Gilardino.

Bench: Storari, Cafu, Bonera, Simic, Seedorf, Brocchi and Oliveira.


Celtic (4-4-2):

Boruc.

Wilson - McManus - O'Dea - Naylor.

Nakamura - Lennon - Sno - McGeady.

Vennegoor of Hesselink - Miller.

Bench: Brown, Perrier Doumbè, Telfer, Gravesen, Jarosik, Beattie and Riordan.

This line up is a better choice I think intead using 4-4-1-1 with 4 difensive midfielder (Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambro and Brocchi).

I am glad Ancelotti doesn't use ultra-defensive tactic.

goo line-up I think given the circumstances with injuries and the need for airial prowess vs a team like Celtic ... maybe would have preferred RO over Gila but it's still fine as it is.

With christmas tree formation it's better to use finisher-striker like Gila, I think. What I am concerned is Gila's physical condition. He was doubt to play against Celtic.

HOLLA AMIGOS!!!

im in cancun and im having a BLAST!! i looked everywhere all over cancun just trying to find the channel but i couldnt!! then someone sarcastically told me "you've been looking all over cancun while the thing you need is right infront of you", he was talkin about a hot chick on the beach, but all i was thinking of was KAKA, MALDINI, GOUCRUFF, ETC..so then when i reached home i was checking the channels in my room, and guess what!! ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN DEPORTES and even RAI INTERNATIONAL lol!!!

anyway i really hope we score 2 away goals today..and i really like the formation..first time we see Goucruff and Kaka in the AM position! im not convinced Gilardino was the right choice but i hope he gives his best! FORZA MILAN.. oh yeh and whoever hasn't been to cancun... YOU MUST VISIT.. ITS THE BEST PLACE EVERRRRR!!! can't stop partying!!!

Wow Seedorf must be in a serious condition for him not to play. Let's hope Gourcuff makes the most of his opportunity and Gila is actually 100%. Forza Milan!!!!!!!!

So it's time, after a long we are again back in the battle of CL, the start the most of the times is the most important.

Nice to hear from you man! You sound like your having a blast! I take this as a positive sign for things to come today .

I'm excited to see Gorky-Kaka in the lineup. I hope Gorky has a one hell of a game (and he will that tricky boy) along with Pirlo firing all the way. I think Carlo opted to go with Kaladze over Bonera because of experience and such...a good choice there IMHO. What can Gila do today? We'll see. But I won't be suprised if Kaka or Ambro get in there and...well, I don't want to jinx anything.

Lets give it all we got! Forza Milan!

Glad to see that u r having a ball in Cancun mi amigo!!

I am also happy that Gourcuff and Kaka will play together...now I am even more optimistic!

why kalac and not Storari????
