Milan - Napoli

I always like game like this. Napoli won't play with obtaining 1 point on their mind, and thus will leave space for us. On the other hand, our defenders must avoid making silly mistakes since they have a lethal attack too. Pato has been playing much better on the last two games, let's hope that he's more clinical this time

my line-up against napoli :

------------Pato------Pippo-----------

-----------------Kaka-----------------

----Seedorf----Emerson---Gattuso-----

Janku-----Maldini---Bonera---Zambrotta

----------------Abbiati----------------

I think these days belong to Pippo. So i guess carletto will field him in over boriello

whats flamini and ronaldinhos fitness situation?

I hate to suggest this but, how about starting a thread where you update our players' fitness conditions?
At any point of time, one or the other seems to be injured

Ronaldinho has declared himself fit to play in this match, wether the doctors think the same is another matter.

Jankulovski should obviously be fresh after missing the mid-week game through suspension. It remains to be seen if Seedorf & Flamini are fit enough to play.

Quite a few people on here have mentioned Kaka being anonymous in recent matches. If you add this to Ronaldinho's lack of running and doubts over Seedorf's fitness, can we afford to have all 3 in the starting line up against a hard working and fast paced Napoli side? I'm not so sure we can.

Boriello has to start, we need him to batter down the Napoli defence, Inzaghi just won't do that and won't hold the ball up as well as Marco either.

Ronaldinho is probably ready and will play. He took a knosk and had few days stop. If he doesnt play Pato wqill play Im sure.

Seedorf is ok, not injured I guess. He said he wasnt at his best against Siena, but 4 days are enough to refresh a palyer.

Kaka' is not in form and that is obvious, but he is a constant danger and for him its important to play a lot to get back.

I would suggest to play Seedorf in the middle like vs Inter, if he thinks he can run it out. Also, Emerson and not Ambro, as I see emerson being in better shape and Ambro ( honestly) playing fairly poor of late. I wont even suggest Flam,ini as I know he will not start.

I REALLY hope NEsta can play, and i hope Santacroce will not play as that would help us a lot. He is a player capable of shutting down player like Boriello completely.

I think that Santacroce will play because GOAL put him in the probably line ups.

Goal.com is full of lies and non-sense. I thought it was owned by Fox or Sky. Don't trust it.

i think kaka has been in fine form, he was a little sluggish first half of siena game, but atalanta, sampdoria and so forth back he's looked very dangerous. eitherway hes been miles head of ronnie and seedorf in fitness

Personally i think this game will be easier than the game of Siena or Reggina.Like you all said Napoli is going to play offensive football wich will create allot of space on the field and that will be much better for us.With Kaka+Ronaldinho and Borriello who can take advantage of that space it is going to be well i think.

We will win this game unless our defenders will make silly mistakes but i think that the duo Bonera+Maldini is reliable.

Cant wait for this match....it should be end to end stuff, and I just hope our defense work well, and are properly protected by the midfielders.

Boriello and R80 to start IMO...Pato....still undecided.

Too anxious to even type any more.

FORZA MIIIIILAN!!
