Roma - AC Milan (pre-game & game comments)

I agree with you on that. I dont think it will be a totally easy match either. Roma at the end of the day have good players and we must remain focused at all time. We should score goals against them though. Kaka' should be able to split their defence in half without too much difficulty.

We will see though.

Maldini and Stam will be the CB's for the match. Nesta will be back the following week I guess.

Gattuso will keep an eye on Totti no worries.

One advantage in our favour is Roma must be really disorganised as del Neri just left.

We should win and must do so to put the pressure on.

FORZA MILAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For real? Source?

yes del Neri left but they just appointed Bruno Conti and this could be a big plus for them. What I mean is that when a new coach is appointed, usually the players try to give their best and that's why Milan will have to fight for the win in this game. I would have prefered if del Neri didn't leave before Roma's game with Milan.

what time is this game to start?

You can delete this posting. I forgot the game in Udinese ;-)

"Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Nesta have not made the trip due to injuries that could also rule them out of Sunday’s Roma match, while Hernan Crespo has also been left behind. Pippo Inzaghi will start from the bench and perhaps come in for the second half.

Milan squad:

Gk: Abbiati, Dida, Fiori.

D: Cafu, Costacurta, Esajas, Kaladze, Pancaro, Simic, Stam.

M: Ambrosini, Brocchi, Dhorasoo, Kakà, Pirlo, Rui Costa, Seedorf, Serginho.

F: Inzaghi, Tomasson. "

Is Chivu back?

And if we can mark out Mancini, Totti and Cassano. We will win.

I hope Sheva plays a part of the game and scores another 30 yard freekick

By now there are plenty. I just checked Goal.com and Channel4 at the time with no story on it.

Probably somewhat bad news for us, as I would have preferred to meet a Roma without any hope

Today I heared that Sheva may, I repeat may not go to Rome because since there are the international callups 2 days later, Sheva will have more time to get fitness gradually.

Maldini should make it while Nesta is doubtful. IMO he should be rested as well so not to play with the national team.

According to a season ticket holder living in Milan on another forum which you also post on, it's concrete news. Bruno Conti has taken over from Del Neri as the new Roma coach

I am so upset, that ESPN Int will not be airing this match live, or otherwise on the weekend.

They will be showing Inter vs Fiorentina Sunday, and the Juve merde match on Sat.

This is ridiculous...the Milan v Roma game is the biggest one of the season, but I guess since they showed the first "leg" at the San Siro, they dont have the $s to pay for this match....

Chivu will play in Roma yes, but Dellas and De Rossi will not play as they are both suspended. Also Cassano might be dropped, today Conte played with 2 strikers only, Totti and Montella. Cassano came on as a sub late in the game. I wouldn't worry much about their attack, if Cagliari stopped them from scoring, i certainly think we can..

Warro Bremen: The game will be an evening game, it should be broadcasted. You need Gol TV .

I hope we don't drop points against Roma. Juve will play on a Saturday I think. It will be a disadvantage for our players because of the pressure on them, only unless Juve drop points which is highly unlikely against Reggina at home.


Im certainly going to be looking forward to watching the Udinese-Lecce game . 3 games so far this season, Lecce 3-4 Udinese (Serie A), Lecce 4-5 Udinese (Coppa), Udinese 3-4 Lecce (Coppa). I think as everyone predicts this game to be high-scoring, it will end up being a 1-0 or 2-0 game.

No, no way. Udinese is in super form now. Scoring a lil bit less than 10 goals in their last two games.

Anyway, Reggina did beat Juve earlier this season right? There is no reason they cant do it at the Delle Alpi

I am also hoping that the Udinese loss last night wont have too much effect on the Roma game sunday night. I dont think it will given that only 2 of the players that took part last night will probably start the match (Seedorf + Stam). Also I hope Ferrari will continue what he is doing at Roma. Another own goal please mate. But I am sure with the superstars back for the Roma match we wont have too much trouble. I know they are feeling a little more confident now but at the end of the day we should be too strong and organised for them. I think Shevchenko will start on the bench and perhaps come on at some point. Looks to be a 4-3-2-1 again if you ask me... I just hope Kaka' has something special up his sleeve because this is an important game for us and we MUST win it.
