AC Milan vs. Genoa (25/9/2010: 12:00 ET)

I spelled reasoning wrong ouch. Not a bad formation Geo may be what we are looking for especially with Pirlo not playing as a CB.

Now this is the line up I want to see.


Milan (4-3-3): Abbiati; Antonini, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta; Boateng, Pirlo, Flamini; Robinho, Ibrahimovic, Ronaldinho.

agreed bosniaco..

That's the best possible, Bosniaco

During the game, you can insert Seedorf, Ronaldinho and/or Robinho. All players needing some rest get a rest ...

I second that formation, then Robinho in for Inzaghi in 2nd half (NOT 88th min)

I think its well balanced, as long as Pirlo pushes up

just read an article on goal.com and basically what the author was saying is that freeing our attackers from "tactical constraints" by letting them all have free roles might be a solution to our struggles in front of goal. When you look at it closer, it makes a lot of sense; if Ibra can express himself more instead of labouring in attack as a point man (a position a player with his characteristics has no business playing in), it gives us that element of surprise the team currently isn't displaying. and Robinho and Pato's movement would also give the opposition headaches whilst giving Pirlo and Dinho more options to spray those passes to. I don' t see how it won't work better than what the team has on ground now.

Well a 4-3-1-2 allows a lot more movement and freedom then the 4-3-3.. in a 4-3-3 you often have 2 wingers who can be static.

However, you can have Barcelona who certainly is not static..

I think you all will be disappointed again, as Allegri would not start with Robinho again This will be the line up & I like it as well

Abbiatti
Pirlo



Zambrotta ... Nesta ... Silva ... Antonini
Flamini ... Boateng
Ibrahimovic ... Ronaldinho
Inzagh

Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is ready to make what he hopes will be match-winning changes against Genoa.

The Rossoneri are five points behind Inter, but they need to be sculptured into shape. And it seems a new structure will take to the field on Saturday, dominated by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"I liked the team that played against Lazio. They were compact and concrete," he told the press.

"We created goal chances but we have to improve when going forward.

"I may change something for Saturday but I have to decide. I will evaluate the situation after training."

Allegri is principally concerned with Robinho, but said he could get the nod as he seeks commodities.

"He doesn't have 90 minutes in his legs, but that doesn't mean he won't start," he said.

"He is training and has been doing well. I will evaluate the midfielders too."

Scudetti have been scarce in recent years, but Allegri is hoping to help Milan rediscover them.

"In any case, we are on the right track and we are fighting to win the league," concluded the coach.



Everyone on this forum claims he's lying and he doesn't actually say what he feels to protect the team. Then why even listen to these dumb quotes if he's lying?

Obviously the team was NOT compact and we were blown on counter attack number of times. We need a NEW midfield. The team did NOT play well. now he's saying Robinho could start so I'm assuming that means he'll be on the bench.

The players who are called for the game against Genoa tomorrow are:

Portieri - Abbiati, Amelia, Roma
Difensori - Antonini, Nesta, Papastathopoulos, Thiago Silva, Zambrotta, Yepes
Centrocampisti - Abate, Boateng, Flamini, Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf
Attaccanti - Ibrahimovic, Inzaghi, Robinho, Ronaldinho

Allegri said he could make some changes, but looking at the players he called, it will probably be the formation written by Jay.

The biggest disappointement I have about Allegri isn't the way the team plays, the results or the formation (even if I don't like it), it's the rotation system he promised to set in the first interviews he had and that he hasn't even started since the first official game.

It's always or almost the same team, for moment, there is no rotation at all (except for the players who are injured), it's sad because I really think that with all the players we have and the few youngsters who could have been included, there could have been something great to do, especially for the ambiancy, motivation, etc. I hope Allegri will work on that as soon as possible too.

Rumors are that's exactly the team.

Also, it seems we won't be seeing Seedorf and Pirlo in the same lineup anymore.

We're learning.

I agree. Now that we have some actual depth, we could at least shake up the starting 11 to see who really wants to go all out for Milan. Boateng proved he's of that calibur, maybe one of the youngsters are too?! But... no, /enter Gattuso.

If we don't win tomorrow's game, I'm afraid it will be time to start doubting Allegri for me

who said we wont win?

Milan x Genoa
Roma x Inter

Inter x Juventus
Parma x Milan

Cagliari x Inter
Milan x Chievo

We have to take advantage in the next 3 rounds and do something... Gazzetta reports that Robinho will start...but they also reported he will start the last two games as well......
